My Dear Duke(BL)
Chapter 95: Sir Asher

Chapter 95: Sir Asher

It’s sad they only got the hints this late.

But, since they got a happy ending they wished for, they were happy.

The maids supported these two’s love affiar wholeheartedly. Mary, who now finally is hearing these girls giggling and talking about the duke and Asher, couldn’t help but laugh seeing them so excited. Before, they were very careful but now they don’t even care if Mary would be around and could hear them gossiping.

So, with what she was hearing, she realised maybe she misunderstood the situation at that time. The duke may really like Asher and he was not just a slave bought by him.

’Sigh...I just wish the best for that child whatever happens.’

Mary actually liked how these young maids didn’t seem to have any hatred toward the duke or Miss Anne. It’s reassuring to know they would at least do their job well toward him and be loyal, admire him and support him.

Mary felt like lately things have gotten better in every way.

’As long as it’s for the best, I hope everything will continue the same way.’

....

In the evening, Lucas came to see Felix as he had gone to see a patient in that area, then dropping by his place.

"I didn’t know your lover, sir Asher could cause such a big excitement to the maids."

Lucas said with a chuckle as he had heard the maids talking on his way. These maids don’t even care about others knowing they are gossiping, do they?

However, Lucas was taken aback when he saw Felix just grinning along with him, also not trying to correct him or explain about the rumours which he should be doing by now.

"Heh, are you in love?"

"...Am I?"

"How do I know?"

"I also don’t know."

"Haha...let’s say nobody knows then."

Lucas sat on the sofa, suspiciously staring at Felix who still had that annoying grin on his face.

Lucas secretly laughed seeing him like this because he rarely openly showed excitement like this.

It’s a good thing.

Lucas then went on to talk about some more random things and Felix suddenly turned to Lucas as he remembered something.

"You got an invitation to the ball?"

Felix asked.

Lucas doesn’t usually get invitations to balls or parties very often as he is not a noble and just a physician that treats nobles. However, some people who know him might include him in the list and invite him out of respect for his skills and charms.

"Yeah...I once treated that young lady when she was sick. His father was very generous with the payment too. I think he still remembers me."

Lucas had got an invite for the ball just the day before. He was, not surprised much. Even if he wouldn’t be invited or get an invitation, it still wouldn’t be a surprise in either way.

But it’s nice to see someone expect you to be at an important event of theirs.

"I will have to get a suit done to go to the ball, right?"

Lucas asked, as he grunted with a frown. He hated going to shops and giving measurements, choosing and literally just talking about how he wanted his suit. It’s a suit, just a suit! Why are there so many questions just to make a suit?

In his eyes, as someone who doesn’t really have a lot of free time, it’s a waste of time since he wouldn’t wear such clothes for a next time anyway. But still, it needs to be luxurious and glamorous for a ball. So, yeah, he would have to sacrifice his time to get his clothes properly done.

"Why are you even complaining? Karl will get it done for you."

Felix said with a chuckle and Lucas giggled as he heard that.

"Right...I have a rich friend."

Lucad said jokingly as he knew Karl would actually do that since it had been like that sometimes before. But he wouldn’t ask for it. Only if Karl offers.

Karl would give the responsibility of his clothes to his personal team which is made by the best designers in their whole empire to make his clothes which sometimes feels like too much. However, Karl always says he deserves it.

Did he?

Well, if Karl thinks so, then, yeah.

He deserves it.

"I am hungry. I am going to eat lunch at your place today. My rich friend, can you feed me today?"

"Yeah yeah. I will tell Mary to prepare another portion for you."

"Thank you."

So then, Felix and Lucas had lunch together, parting their ways after around the evening with some more talk.

When Felix came back to his office after sending off Lucas, he opened the last drawer in his table but only to suddenly pause seeing what’s inside that was left forgotten by him.

’Ah...This...’

Felix grabbed the flower that had already lost its petals within days of staying in the dark.

’I am sure Asher didn’t know the meaning of giving such a flower. Anne fooled him into giving this to me.’

Felix’s lips formed into a gentle smile as he recalled Asher’s nervous and confused face while Felix was also suddenly flustered and surprised by the situation till he realised what might have made him give this to him.

He was quite disappointed it was given to him because Anne asked him to.

But well, he now knew...he would have happily accepted it even if Asher himself had given this to him.

It felt that simple...when it really shouldn’t be as this flower and this tradition to give this flower is very respected and taken very seriously.

Has he gone crazy? Is he that desperate that he felt he would accept Asher’s love?

Guess he had gone mad that he is getting all kinds of these weird and crazy wishes.

’Why am I like this? It’s disgusting... I am getting too comfortable and expect more from Asher...Why have I become greedy like this?’

Felix, in horror with his realisation, closed his eyes as a long groan escaped his lips.

’I think I should distance myself a little from Asher to get myself disciplined.’

That’s what he planned but only to fail as he found himself drawn to Asher more, having more and more hopes with them tangling together in their next heat.
