Marriage with a Suspiciously Demure Husband - Chapter 89.1
Chapter 89.1
For a week, the capital had been abuzz, and I knew a proper date wouldn’t be possible. However, we went to a cafe with impressive interior design and even visited a clothing shop for the first time.
It was a bit strange that there was no one wherever we went, but thanks to that, we could spend time without worrying about people’s gazes. And that evening, we came to see a play that was said to be popular in the capital.
We came to see it because it was rumored that the two best actors these days met and created an interesting story. One of the popular actors, Lara Evian, was known for her beauty and outstanding acting skills even during the Order of Knights era, so I really wanted to see her.
Unlike the relaxed dates we had so far, the front of the theater was crowded.
“There are a lot of people.”
“It’ll be comfortable inside.”
“This isn’t bad either.”
I had brought a mask just in case, but there were so many people that it seemed like they could barely recognize each other. As I was about to climb the stairs with his escort, someone came rushing towards us. Someone wearing a hat pulled down low.
“Oh, I’m sorry! I’ll just pass by―!”
“Hazel, watch out.”
Kairos quickly hugged me and stepped aside. I didn’t get hit, but I couldn’t help but widen my eyes at that moment. The person who just bumped into me and passed by grabbed my hand tightly for a split second and disappeared.
“Are you okay?”
Kairos asked, shielding me protectively.
“Oh, I’m fine. It was just someone passing by.”
I said I was fine and went in quickly, but I felt something on my fist. I felt something thick and coin-sized in my palm. I looked back for the woman who had just passed by, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Was it a woman?
The voice was clearly that of a young girl. I pretended to hold my dress to avoid being caught by Kairos and entered the theater, hiding my hand.
As he said, the theater was comfortable. Although it was crowded downstairs, the upper seats were for two people only, so I didn’t have to worry about other people’s gazes. While Kairos was gone for a moment, I belatedly unclenched my fist.
“…A.”
It was a portable communicator that wasn’t in circulation.
I could tell who sent it by the letters written on it. I knew that contacting me was just a courtesy, considering the atmosphere, but I didn’t expect them to send someone.
It was fortunate that I could contact them, although the connection was cut off after the incident, and I couldn’t contact them except when Annie did it first. I hurriedly stuffed the communicator she sent into my chest before Kairos came back.
As soon as I finished fixing my clothes perfectly, he came back to his seat.
“I think it’s about to start.”
I spoke as calmly as possible, but my heart was pounding again after a long time.
Even though we weren’t leaving right away, I felt inexplicably nervous and waited for the curtain to rise. Should I contact her once before going north? I wonder if she already knew that I was going north. If she knew that I was here to see a play, it meant she had been watching me for quite some time.
Just then, the voice announcing the start of the play was heard.
The surroundings began to darken.

Kairos gritted his teeth with one hand covering his eyes. The play was in full swing.
He heard it was a love story about a couple reuniting, but it was a strange story. The story was like this: The two met and fell in love at first sight, and they got married in no time. They had happy days, but the man turned out to be a great con artist, and when the woman found out, she left him.
The man belatedly realized his true feelings and regretted it, and he desperately clung to his love. It was more abundant if you looked into it, but the overall content was like that.
What the hell is this play about?
It was unlike him to be so distracted, but Hazel was completely absorbed in it. In the bright light coming from the stage, Hazel’s profile clearly entered his field of vision. It was a good opportunity, as he hadn’t been able to see Hazel’s face like this except when she was sleeping lately.
Of course, if it weren’t for the content of the play.
“How can I trust you? Everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie!”
“No, listen to me. Even though I’ve lived the life of a con artist all my life, my heart towards you was sincere.”
At that moment, Hazel turned her head slightly and stared at Kairos. Kairos, who seemed to be numb on his feet, cleared his throat.
“He’s a really bad guy. How could he deceive the woman he loves?”
