My Husband Hates Me, But He Lost His Memories - Chapter 90.1

Today I wore simple clothes for someone who’s having her birthday.
I wore a simple dark green dress, and the only jewelry I was wearing was a pair of pearl earrings.
I had no intention of being particularly nervous because it was my birthday. I didn’t want to dress up nicely to meet Owen and Hessen.
“…I’m telling you again and again, don’t get upset no matter what Owen and Hessen say. It’s okay to be sarcastic. Because you are good at that.”
“…….”
Theodore gave me a somewhat complicated expression and nodded his head at my request.
“Alright.”
At this point, I felt like I could clearly read what he was thinking. Perhaps he was looking back on his past words and actions toward me.
Those sharp and cruel words that treated my true feelings as lies…
‘You looked very tired today, so I brought you some tea that is good for recovering from fatigue…’
‘Do you think I’d drink that tea even if I know what’s in it? Take it back with you.’
‘…….’
It is miserable to be denied a sincere favor. Every time that happened, I had to feel as if my heart was falling to the ground and being trampled on.
Does he really understand how painful and difficult it was for me? It would be fortunate if he understood even half of it.
…Well, it doesn’t really matter now.
“Alright then, let’s go.”
“…Yes.”
Theodore and I walked side by side and arrived at the parlor. Before opening the door, I only mouthed words to him.
—‘You haven’t forgotten what we discussed yesterday, right?’
Theodore nodded immediately, and as expected, he only responded with his mouth.
—‘I remember everything, every single thing.’
I’m glad he didn’t forget… Still, I was worried that he wouldn’t be able to bear it.
We must never let Owen find out that Theodore could now remember about the wizard and the death spirit.
Would he be able to hide his anger well?
Now that he had learned that the deaths of his parents and older brother may be the Everett family’s dark secret… Once he sees Owen and Hessen, he’ll want to strangle them right away.
It’s not that I don’t understand his anger, but now was the time to endure it. In order to obtain solid evidence and take revenge properly.
“Please open the door.”
“Yes, Madam.”
I gave an order to the servant waiting in front of the door, and the door immediately opened.
The next thing I saw was Owen sitting cross-legged on the living room sofa.
When our eyes met, Owen smiled, eyes folding like crescent moons.
“Hello, Lily.”
“…Hello, Brother.”
When I looked at Owen’s face, the death spirit came to mind and, without fail, a feeling of nausea came over me. I felt like I was going to throw up if I continued to face Owen.
I lowered my gaze as naturally as possible and looked around the living room as if I was looking for Hessen.
Hessen, who happened to be walking out from the balcony, glared at me with a sullen face and said as if he was throwing something.
“Why are you dressed like that on your birthday? At least wear bright colors.”
Theodore frowned as he looked at Hessen, who was still as arrogant as he always was. As I usually did when dealing with Hessen, I just answered with an expressionless face.
“I was just wearing it as usual. There’s nothing special about this day just because it’s my birthday.”
“Hah, seriously…”
Hessen clicked his tongue as if he was surprised and glared fiercely at Theodore. His eyes looked full of discontent.
As Theodore sat down, ignoring him, Hessen, with a frown on his face, strode over to the sofa and sat down next to Owen.
Theodore still ignored Hessen and told the maid to bring tea. It was the moment when I quietly sat down next to him and was about to say my greeting.
Suddenly, Hessen asked Theodore bluntly.
“Does Duke Valentino find the Everett family laughable? Everett’s daughter looks like that on her birthday. Is it really like this last year as well?”
Theodore glanced at him and responded calmly.
“House Valentino values frugality as a virtue, Hessen Everett.”
No matter who heard it, it was unreasonable. Although it is true that Valentino’s family tradition is frugality, it does not mean that they do not maintain the dignity of a noble. Hessen seemed to know that as well. He looked very dumbfounded and shot back.
“What nonsense. Frugality? Look at her! How can a noble lady look like this on an important day? I would believe it if you said she was just a country woman passing by!”
But Hessen’s analogy was also far-fetched. Although my outfit today was simple, the fabric was of the highest quality. It was a fabric that a country woman would never be able to touch in her lifetime.
“Of course, I think Lily’s clothes are too plain. When she was at Everett Castle, she had the most colorful wardrobe in the world…”
Owen helped him, lifting a corner of his mouth. He came as a guest, but he behaved arrogantly as if he were the owner of this manor. It’s obvious that such words and actions would offend Theodore.
Sure enough, Theodore was clenching his hands tightly into fists. I was afraid that he might lose his temper and make a mistake, so I quickly changed the subject. Something that Owen would find uncomfortable.
“Come to think about it, Brother, I heard there’s been marriage talks between you and the daughter of Count Wellington these days.”
The Wellington County was a weak but wealthy family. Father seemed to think it was not a bad idea since the bride would be able to bring a large dowry.
Moreover, since Father was a person who placed great importance on appearance, whether male or female, Count Wellington seemed to be very satisfactory.
