①2023.10.5 【An Apology to Readers and the novel Break Announcement】 Hello readers who enjoyed this book, I'm CloudC. I'm sorry for the 1 month break, this was due to the fact that I was made redundant at the beginning of last month and with very little earnings from writing novels, I started a frantic search for a job in order to make ends meet (while I haven't found one yet) Once life is back on track, I promise you that I will be back to updating as soon as I can, and I'll be back to updating as of 24.1.1! Please forgive me, I was really hard pressed by life and had no choice but to cut off my updates. Chapter 103 is definitely not the real ending, the plot of this book has only progressed halfway, this chapter can be considered a minor climax or the beginning of a key turning point in Chad and Orville's emotions. The book is marked as "Finished", I think it may be due to contractual reasons, because it's not what I marked, after a while, I will discuss with the editor to change the status of the book. This novel will be back on 24.1.1, please look forward to it, I'm sorry for the break in production. ②2023.9.2 Notice: On the cover is the ML: Orville ③2023.8.17 Notice: Frequency of daily updates:One episode per day ================================================== Chad has three secrets. One, Chad is a false name. Two, she is a woman disguised as a man. And three, she has a crush on the Duke of Orville. She tells no one these three secrets, but one night the second one is broken by a strange man. The man uses her secret as blackmail, forcing her to give in step by step, to fall a little, but she doesn't even notice that the man is asking her for more and more favours, and that the Duke is giving her more and more looks. Then one day she found out she was pregnant. In a panic, she hurriedly and roughly packed some important luggage and fled in the night. [Update frequency] 1. Working days (Mon-Fri): 2-3 episodes updated daily 2. Rest days (Saturday-Sunday): update as you go, may not update if you have other arrangements, new chapters will be dropped randomly
Chad had woken up in the morning in such a bad state that she couldn't eat breakfast and only drank a few sips of hot tea, so even as hard as she was, she couldn't throw up anything.
With her hand propped up on the window frame and a few veins rose on the back of her slender hand, Chad's mind went blank.
She heard footsteps coming from behind her, and then the tip of her nose caught the scent of freesia, which made her realise that she was still at the Duke's heels.
How could she be so out of her element in front of the Duke?
Immediately afterwards, a silk handkerchief moved from back to front, covering her mouth and nose and wiping the dirt from the corners of her lips, a gesture that wasn't gentle, but which pulled Chad back from the void.
Orville threw the dirty handkerchief directly out of the window, he was afraid of dirt, stained with filth silk handkerchief, even if it is cleaned, he will not stay again.
