The Earl’s Second Proposal

“Would you consider a divorce?”

It was a marriage of convenience from the start.
He was a young Earl from the renowned Dalmore family in the Kingdom,
And she was the daughter of a rural Baronet, accompanied by a substantial dowry.
Their loveless and cold marriage had peacefully persisted for three years.
But then—

“Am I not the kind of wife you desire?”
“This marriage holds no meaning anymore.”

The life of the Countess,
Though devoid of love, had been fine as it was.
Until one day, her husband suddenly informed her of his intent to divorce.

Keith did not want to part ways with Briony.
It was a choice he had no other option but to make, in order to protect her.

“I can’t ask someone who didn’t marry me out of love to make sacrifices for me.”

A divorce born from misunderstandings and interference,
Secrets buried in the history of their families and the Kingdom.
And lovers who awakened to love too late.

“…I want to marry Briony again.”

Before proposing to her for the second time,
There was something he needed to do.
