My Husband Hates Me, But He Lost His Memories - Chapter 87.2

I hoped it would be like that, but I soon realized that it wasn’t. Because the beginning of the letter was as follows:
[ Dear Lily. How are you? Haha, my handwriting is a bit bad, isn’t it? This is the 21st letter I am writing. The 20 before that were all practice. Still, after practicing about 20 times, isn’t it worth a little more attention? ]
“…….”
What can I say, it felt like a miracle that I could still read it even though it was so rough. After practicing 20 times, I think he was able to write letters that could convey the meaning.
There was nothing special about the content. He just asked if my health had improved, if there was anything out of the ordinary, stuff like that…
‘It’s just a greeting letter… hmm?’
As I was reading without thinking, I flinched in surprise at an unexpected passage.
[ It’ll be the 12th tomorrow, and it’s your birthday, right? It’s Sunday! Actually, I prepared a gift. Would it be possible to see you for a moment? ]
…Zen… How did he know when my birthday was?
Last year, the only person who celebrated my birthday was Charlotte… No, the people of House Everett also sent gifts. It was a gem, and as soon as I received it, I called a merchant to sell it. And Theodore…
‘…Well, today, actually…’
‘I don’t have time, so let’s talk later.’
I wasn’t sure if he really didn’t know it was my birthday or if he just pretended not to know, but I didn’t care either way.
I didn’t even hear a brief congratulation from him.
As the head of the family, Theodore ignored it, so others did the same. There was no banquet, no dinner—nothing to look forward to.
…I wasn’t particularly offended. Just…
‘Happy birthday. Just those two words…’
I was just upset that I didn’t receive even the simplest greeting from Theodore.
I’ve never been a person who attaches great importance to birthdays. As I got older, it became more and more like this, and by the time I married Theodore, I became more apathetic to things like birthdays.
However, it was a universal truth that everyone agreed that the day you were born into this world was special, and I was no exception.
Because Theodore became a special person to me, I wanted him to wish me a happy birthday.
Yet he coldly ignored it…
“…….”
However, I felt strange that someone I had only met a few times knew about my birthday and wanted to pay attention to it.
Of course, Zen was already within my circle of friends. He helped me a lot in many ways.
‘But tomorrow, because of Owen…’
At that time, a thought popped into my head.
Maybe tomorrow… Maybe I could get some help from Zen?
However, if Zen agrees.
‘…Maybe I’m dragging Zen in too deep.’
I had many reasons to keep Zen close. Because if Everett falls, it will also benefit Delacroix greatly.
…In fact, is it only Delacroix? As Everett aggressively increases their powers, they have many enemies in the kingdom.
If I’m planning to bring about Everett’s downfall… Anyone would be intrigued.
But it is also a big risk.
…So, I had no choice but to ask Zen, on as objective a basis as possible, whether he would be an ally.
The choice was his.
“Charlotte, would you secretly entrust this letter to someone you can have faith in?”
When I handed my reply to Zen to Charlotte, she nodded, accepting it with a grim look.
“Just trust me, Madam.”
I smiled and immediately got up and prepared to leave.
Owen was coming tomorrow, so there was something I had to do today.

“From now on, I will fill in the gaps in your memories with Somnia’s power.”
Theodore nodded his head with a slightly nervous face.
I thought about asking him why he wanted to burn all of Zen’s letters, but I didn’t want to start an argument so I decided not to.
I just said, ‘I’m planning to invite Zen tomorrow, so please keep that in mind.’
Theodore seemed dissatisfied inside, but he did not protest. In many ways, he looked like a withered leaf these days. He looked at me with eyes like a downcast puppy, and at one point he looked at me with a look of strong obsession.
In short, I couldn’t figure it out. It was clear that his mental state was not stable. The doctor even secretly told me that he was worried for him.
But it’s not something I cared about.
I don’t want to comfort him.
Why should I do that?
I have no obligation to do so.
Now there’s only one thing left between us. An alliance to take down House Everett.
“Close your eyes and take slow, deep breaths.”
“…Lily, could you…”
“Don’t say anything.”
“…….”
Theodore immediately became quiet. But he didn’t close his eyes. He just kept staring at me, so I had to ask again.
“Close your eyes.”
“…….”
Only then did he close his eyes. I sighed, concentrated my mind, and woke up Somnia.
Soon, Somnia appeared, fluttering in the air, and wrapped me around like a cozy blanket. Somnia’s mysterious voice penetrates my ears.
—All I have to do is fill the void in Theodore’s head, right?
“Yes. There must be memories he hasn’t gotten back yet.”
Not only did I remember the brief time when Theodore, who had lost his memory, was kind to me…
How he hurt his head, what happened that day.
I planned to use Somnia’s abilities to figure out the mystery that has not yet been solved.
—Good. Then I’ll start.
Somnia moved over and covered Theodore tightly from head to toe.
Soon, Theodore’s memories watched by Somnia flowed into my head.
But, this memory…
‘Somnia, this is…’
‘Master, will you accept Duke Everett’s offer?’
‘Offer? It must be a threat.’
…It was a memory of the first time Theodore and I met in the gardens of the Everett residence, two years ago.
