No matter how much they are accompanied in public, A mistress is still a mistress. Even in social circles, where it had become common to openly display relationships between couples—despite its impropriety—a mistress, unlike a wife who took a vow before God, was a relationship that can never be dignified. So even though they might accompany her, it was considered taboo to make more contact than necessary in the presence of others.
Even five years ago, he was a man who had thoroughly kept some distance from her when they were in public. Perhaps not so much because he was caught up in convention, but rather because he didn’t want to be bothered with rumors.
“Let- Let me go!”
While Jenok had a servant paying for the puppy and getting all related supplies, Killian left the store where they bought the puppy and led her to another one. Since he was holding her hand the whole time, she was followed by the intense stares of many passersby. Rowena’s face was bright red as she repeatedly tried to shake his hand off, but to no avail. He didn’t let her hand go until they entered one of the stores, and when he finally did that, Rowena, with her cheeks flushed, couldn’t even look up at his face and opened her mouth.
“I knew there was something wrong with you; you must be ill! even last night you..!”
“What are you getting so embarrassed over? We did more things worthy of being embarrassed over; this is nothing.”
“That’s!”
It was not something to be said out in the open. She was caught by surprise over what she heard, albeit he said in a small voice that there was no way to tell who might be hearing. As soon as I raised my head to refute it, she felt his gaze again.
“Dear customer…?”
Fortunately, the surroundings were quiet; it was a high-end dressing salon that only specializes in custom-made dresses.

In the dressing room where she was dragged to by Killian, they took her measurements and fitted her for a dress without her knowing why. While both employees, who looked as if they had been waiting for her in advance, were quickly taking her measurements, while Killian looked at a pamphlet and selected a dress.
It had been a day full of all kinds of crazy things. Killian was one of those people who cared about making money but not so much about how it was spent.
He had always gifted her extravagant and luxurious things, he did so in the past and was still doing, but they had never gone shopping together. Until today, and even then, he picked out what they were buying himself.
“What in the world is wrong with you today?”
Rowena kept her mouth shut until they left the department store and boarded the carriage that had come to pick them up. As soon as it was just the two of them, her questions began to pour.
“Out of the blue! You asked me to go choose a dog, and then…You buy a crazy one at that! Holding my hand and then, all of a sudden, you bring me to a dressing room and have me fitted for a dress.”
“Do I need to provide a reason?”
Killian’s expression was more nonchalant than ever, even though he had been dragging her around to play all day! Rowena felt frustrated by the look on his face, he’s been playing her all day, and this is how he responds.
“I really need it. I would die of curiosity if I didn’t know.”
Somehow, his generous demeanor made her feel comfortable. She was willing to go along with him since he was probably acting on a whim anyway.
“You’re getting remarried soon! Aren’t you just doing this, because you’re trying to ensure I won’t cause you any trouble later….”
Oh shit… now she really did it….
