The ladies around my Duke are all listening to him so carefully. Like a bunch of children hearing a story from an elder.
Their eyes are shining romantically, and they sigh from time to time.
I'm being surrounded by my husband's fans, and it's not pleasant. I didn't even notice it until now, but he does attract women's gazes with his tall build and attractive smile.
«I didn't send my Duke to the city,» I point out. «You shouldn't have done it if you were going to complain.»
I sense how those eyes now stare at me, and unexpectedly they're more curious than hostile. They're not judging me for scolding my husband, but they're entertained by my feigned resistance.
