The Male Lead Visit 4

"Do you really want a divorce right now, I won't pressure you into divorce until you find a man that you truly love and want to be with, although I won't say that I love you but I also don't hate you, if you are not ready yet then we can stay married for some time" Leonard said to Vivian calmly

Even he can't believe himself not to talk of Vivian, even though he does not want to stay married to her for his own personal reasons he won't deny the fact that he is greedy for her affection.

"And what if the man I still want is you then will you be willing to give this marriage a chance and try and love me or you are still going to treat me like an unwanted gift that was forced upon you" Vivian said while looking at him with a gaze that seems to be provoking him.

"Then im sorry because I will have to disappoint you if it is my affection that you want, I can't bring myself to accept your affection because, to me, you are like a junior sister that I never had and would love to protect so how do you expect me to love my own sister and also I do not think that what you had toward me is the feeling of love but I think it more like gratitude so I think separating is the best for both of us," Leonard said seldomly.

Although it seems like Vivian is so in love with him to the point of obsession he can't help but feel as if it is another man with a look that can rival his like the Captain of the white knight Sir Damien or priest Alexander were the one that was there that fateful day, Vivian would have also claimed that she fell in love with them, so this is also the reason why he did not really think that Vivian affection towards him can be called love.

"Fuck! Sister? I can't believe that Vivian is been sister zoned all this while by the duke, no wonder why he couldn't bring himself to touch her I mean except if you are a beast, who will touch his sister, aw… poor little thing, she being sister zoned without knowing, no wonder why he could bear to bully her that much despite being a gentleman, brothers are truly the worst being on earth" Vivian exclaimed to herself with a pitiful look on her face.

Leonard was confused by the expression on her face, he couldn't help but wonder who she was pitying because she seemed to spacing out a lot today, and it was obvious from the look on her face that she was pitying someone.

He can't help but think to herself "Is she pitying me or herself" but he can't bring himself to interrupt her thought because she seems so busy and serious with what so ever she is thinking to herself making her look kind of cute despite looking so seductive at the moment.

This is the first time Leonard has seen another expression on Vivian's face apart from her usual polite smile and obedient look, seeing her looking so serious and absent-minded in front of him as if she battleing with some important decisions in her mind, he really wants to capture the moment and keep it somewhere in his heart forever.

Vivian gave her a lot of shocks tonight because he witness a lot of things from the usual things he's familiar with about her, especially seeing dressed in such dress for the first time brings heats to his lower part in a different way, although her usual look is even to drive a man insane but if any man should see her the way she was dressed right now, that is enough to kill a man.

Vivian has never put on anything revealing like other noble ladies even Isla that seems innocent dressing seems to be a little bit inviting and couple with her innocent act and look that have drive a lot of noble men insane.

But Vivian on the other hand always dress like his died mother who is a noble from the north, she only dressed in clothing that covers up her clothing with a bare face and a gentle smile always adorned her face, her smooth silky hair is always tired back to a bun, she never let it down outside except for when she is at home in her room from what he had from the maid.

And despite how boring she look and all, she is still has pretty as ever and also more pretty than any other noblewoman he knows including llady Isla that is currently causing a sensation in the noble circle, if compared to Vivian, it obvious that lady Isla is lackly.

If only Vivian had not ask her father to get his father to have them bestowed to each other, he will probably be one of the many noblemen that are in front of her fathers estate, trying to seek her favor and ask for her hand in marriage but unfortunately for them their case is different, he keep feeling like he is a commodity sold to her and she is a witness of the bondage he is in and he has to free himself from as a true man with his pride.

He is grateful for the fact that so far so good Vivian has been nothing but an obedient and generous wife and had been nothing but supportive and obedient towards him since they have gotten married but he can't help but if like that is also a problem.

She feels more like a slave or subordinates under him than an actual wife, she is too obedient that it feels almost like she lives to follow his commands, no matter how badly or harshly he treated her or talks to her, she never retaliation, she always takes everything in just like that as if he treating her like that is normal until tonight.
