"Oriana, do not be too greedy." Duke Aykroyd watched her choosing the biggest land of the vicinity. Even though he could get it, it would be troublesome since many were vying for it but the marquis is not selling it.
"A single shop here costs a mine. Yet you want the only empty land here. You have brought me enough profit to buy it for you." Oriana blinked her bright eyes looking surprised, but in the next moment she smiled.
"Your grace, I have given you a son. What other benefit could a wife provide?" her nonchalant voice filled with pride but Duke Aykroed looked away with a grim face.
She noticed that her humor was not appreciated and sighed.
"Alright! I will not be greedy. You can buy me anything you want." she relented with a defeated voice. "But then, i do not know how i will react when the marquis family visits us in a week," the man froze on the spot. His eyes filled with guilt before getting normal again.
