"…You love her, don't you? Is it because her personality is similar to Lady Jannette?"
There was an odd silence in the room. Catherine could sense the cold wind blowing that gave her chills. She looked around but didn't find all the windows open, enough to drop the temperature of the room.
"You developed your feelings for her so quickly that you couldn't stop them when you realized it. So, now you admire her more. You are forcing yourself to respect her as your friend's wife."
"You said enough," Ironin interrupted her. "Focus on your work."
Catherine was stunned by his attitude.
"Did you think I would just let it go like that? How can you be so nonchalant about this? What if Ver finds out? Do you know what disaster it will bring?"
She didn't want to raise her voice. However, she couldn't help it.
