Chapter 4

A few days before getting married, a nanny came to teach me etiquette.

Even if I acted recklessly, I was still a noblewoman, and I had the best manners.

Every move and gesture made the nanny unable to find any fault.

Before the end of the class, Nanny praised me a lot, and I was flattered. I saw her off from the mansion.

A book fell out of her bundle before leaving.

Curiously, I picked it up and the wind blew open the first page, which made me blush.

Nanny, however, was used to it, saying, "Miss Powell, you are talented. Some lessons can be understood without teaching. I will take my leave first."

It must be my reputation that influenced Nanny's judgment!

If Laurant found out on the day of our marriage that I didn't know anything, he would definitely mock me!

Just thinking about his mocking face makes me furious. I grabbed a maid and headed straight to the largest bookstore in the capital.

I changed into men's clothing, dressed up properly, and went straight to my destination as soon as I entered.

Most men usually bought books and read them secretly at home, but I was different. I held the book carefully as if doing academic research.

The content was too hot. I had to look away after a few glances, or I would hurt my eyes when I went back.

Not long after, I found someone in the bookstore who was as sneaky as me.

And he seemed to be looking at me with an indescribable expression.

I signaled to the maid and we both approached him.

One pulled off the turban on his face, and the other knocked the book out of his hand.

It turned out to be Laurant!

And the book he dropped was exactly the same as the one in his hand.

It was erotic paintings!

I thought I had caught Laurant's handle and was excited to shout it out, but the next second he dragged me out of the bookstore.
