“I’m here…” Marc sneaked a look at Margaery. In the end, he decided to withhold the truth before the decree was announced publicly. “I’m here to bring Margaery shopping.”

Lady Sutherland clicked her tongue disapprovingly. “Margaery is Dashnell’s beloved. You should stop thinking about her, young man.”

Marc blushed furiously. “I wouldn’t dare, my lady.”

“Mother, please don’t meddle in this matter.” Christina was also blushing furiously as she tugged at Lady Sutherland’s arm. “Can I go out with Margaery later and keep her company while she shops?”

When her mother kept quiet, Christina tugged at her arm again. “Look at her! She doesn’t have any family. She’s all alone and so pitiful. If I don’t accompany her, who will?”

Lady Sutherland could not resist her daughter’s plaintive pleading.

“Alright, alright. Make sure you dress warmly when you go out.” She then smiled at Margaery. “Margaery, it will be the New Year soon. When all of you go shopping later, buy yourself some new clothes. Here, take this money.

“This gift may lack refinement, but it’s practical.”

She then smiled and patted Margaery’s hand warmly. “You can buy me something after you have money saved up.”

Christina took after her mother where temperament was concerned.

Both were warm and sincere, and their kind gestures were hard to refuse.

“Then I shall accept your kindness without shame,” Margaery replied.

Some favors simply could not be refused, if only for the sake of maintaining the friendship in the long run.

Margaery accepted the money pouch she was given.

“That’s my good child.” Lady Sutherland was not stingy with her wealth, and she was happy to see Margaery accepting her gift without any fuss. “It’s winter now, and the days are short. If all of you wish to go out, do so quickly so that you can return before dark.”

“Then we’ll be off!” Christina blurted out excitedly.

She had liked Marc for a long time. Now, she finally had the perfect excuse to interact with him up close.

Such an opportunity was too good to pass up.

“Then I shall take my leave, my lady.” Marc rose and bowed to Lady Sutherland.

With that, the three young people left together.

Christina held Margaery’s hand tightly. Though it was the middle of winter, her palm was sweaty with nervousness. She kept saying she liked Marc, yet she did not dare to even glance at him now.

Even Margaery could hear the rapid thumping of her heart.

She felt somewhat helpless.

She could not simply open her mouth and tell Marc that Christina liked him, could she?

But she found it delightful watching the subtle unfolding of this mini spectacle…

Eventually, it was Margaery who spoke first. “Marc, we still have to pay a visit to the Eames family. I must thank Phillipa for helping me earlier at the Hadley family’s residence.”

She then added a lame excuse. “I want to go to the apothecary across the street to buy something. Why don’t you keep Christina company?”

After speaking, she quickly scampered across the street into the apothecary.

Marc was puzzled. ‘What’s she up to?‘

He was at a loss for a while. After that, he was about to follow Margaery, but when he turned his head, he saw Christina’s face had turned bright red. Her whole demeanor did not look right somehow.

Marc was taken aback and could not help but ask, “Miss Christina, your face is so red. Are you feeling unwell? If you have caught a cold, you should not stay outside in case your cold gets worse.”

Christina could barely hear him over the loud thumping of her heart.

She felt as if fireworks had exploded in her mind, but eventually, she managed to stammer, “N–no. It’s just that… my face flushes easily when the cold wind blows against it.”

But she was screaming inwardly when the reality hit her. ‘Marc actually took the initiative to speak to me! What should I say

next?‘

Christina’s mind went blank at this point. Her long–suppressed emotions erupted like a tidal wave at this moment.

They overwhelmed her until she felt a little dizzy.

When a cold wind swept by at this juncture, she was nearly blown over.

Marc reacted swiftly and grabbed her arm in time. “Perhaps you should get in the carriage first. Margaery will be out in a

moment.”

“O–okay.” Christina could feel her fingers going numb by now.

She thought back to when she met Marc for the first time and developed feelings for him. On that day, a carriage had rushed out from a street corner,

The horse was clearly out of control. It was galloping wildly and was about to crash into her.

Christina thought she was going to die.

Suddenly, a young man in a blue robe appeared beside her and scooped her up. After a dizzying spin, she landed on the steps of a nearby inn.

The runaway horse with carriage in tow rampaged past her, overturning all the street stalls in its wake.

It would have been a tragic outcome if she hadn’t been rescued in time.

When she came to her senses, the young man had leaped nimbly onto the horse’s back. Then he lifted one boot high above the horse’s head and stomped down on it.

The rampaging horse collapsed immediately, but the carriage was flung forward due to the momentum.

The young man reacted swiftly by leaping again to the ground to stop the sliding carriage.

Inside the carriage, a woman about to give birth screamed, “Help! Help, I’m going to give birth soon!”

The young man lifted the carriage curtain, carried the woman up, and dashed toward the nearby maternity hospital.

At that moment, Christina stood near the inn, staring blankly at the young man’s back.

Several years have passed since then. Yet, she could not forget that scene…

At present, her head felt somewhat woozy as she climbed into the carriage. Nonetheless, she summoned all her courage and suddenly shoved a pouch into Marc’s hand. Thereafter, she ducked inside the carriage.

As the carriage curtain dropped down, Marc stared at the pouch in his hand in surprise.

Embroidered on the pouch was the character “M.”

But the pouch appeared old. It must have been crafted many years ago.

Before he was put in charge of the troops, he had served for a year at the Inquisition Court. After handling cases for so long, he had developed an instinctive intuition about things.

Even though he was stunned at this moment, he quickly realized something.

The young lady of the Sutherland Estate must have had a secret crush on him for years!

No wonder Margaery asked him to join her today, to accompany the ladies on their shopping trip. Yet, she herself slipped away to the apothecary. She was trying to create an opportunity for this young lady.

Once he understood the situation, Marc burst out laughing. “My lady, you dropped your pouch… in my hand.”

He looked at the thick carriage curtain with a somewhat amused expression.

No wonder this girl’s face was so red.
