Deborah was surprised to meet Isidor, who she had been avoiding. She tried to act calm and distant, but Isidor quickly caught up with her. He told her that he had come specifically to see her because she had stopped attending club and group activities. He was worried that she might be sick. Deborah felt guilty because she knew he was genuinely concerned about her. When Isidor noticed that her ears were red, he thought she might have a fever. Deborah awkwardly blamed it on the cold weather, even though it was not very cold. Isidor then suggested they go drink some warm tea together. Deborah suspected he might be trying to remind her of a previous incident between them, which made her nervous. When he offered his hand, she became flustered and quickly agreed to go for tea instead. As they walked through the city, many people stared at them. Isidor was handsome and attracted attention wherever he went, but Deborah noticed that people were also looking at her in surprise because she was with him. Isidor seemed amused by the attention and even joked about carrying her if she got tired. Deborah worried that people would misunderstand their relationship and think strange things about them.
✕The two eventually arrived at an elegant tea house. Isidor carefully chose a tea that would help soothe Deborah’s throat because he knew she had been giving many lectures recently. Deborah was touched that he paid attention to such details. While drinking tea together, they talked comfortably. Isidor teased her a little, saying he would send special tea to her house, then jokingly corrected himself. His teasing embarrassed Deborah, and she ended up kicking him lightly in irritation. Isidor only laughed and smiled. After they finished their tea, Isidor bought Deborah a small ceramic turtle figure because he noticed she had liked it. Deborah then bought a ceramic cat figure for him because she remembered that he liked cats. Isidor was surprised that she remembered such a small detail about him. He thanked her warmly, and Deborah realized that his sincere smile made her feel happy. Even after returning home, she could not stop thinking about that smile. The story then shifts to another scene involving the Seymour family. A family meeting is being held to celebrate Rozard’s recent success and the praise he has been receiving. However, Duke Seymour seems to be in a bad mood despite the celebration, making everyone around him uncomfortable and quiet. During the meeting, Rozard brings up an important issue. He says that marriage discussions involving Deborah have started again. If Deborah marries into another noble house, the rights to her valuable invention and formula could pass to that house. Rozard believes they need to find a solution to prevent that problem. Before he can continue, another family member reacts sharply, showing that the topic is likely to cause conflict and become very important in the future.
I like to post spoilers for the stories I find interesting because I don't have much time to read novel due to busy schedule you will find me in most romantic historical manhwa comment sections
