Since Edmund had always carried a cold and distant demeanor, all the harsh words that came from his mouth sounded completely normal to those around him.
For some reason, people were far more willing to believe that his cold words reflected his true nature, rather than the kind, gentle side of him that she knew.
It was clear that they didn't really understand him.
Instead of feeling offended by her husband's words, Primrose was more annoyed that everyone thought Edmund was a heartless man who despised his wife.
'Don't worry, husband! Once we take down this bastard, I'll show the world how lovey-dovey we really are!' Primrose vowed silently.
Meanwhile, the Marquess looked visibly relieved to see Edmund treating his wife like this, as if he had just found his long-lost soulmate.
A man like him always seeks validation from others who are just as rotten, convincing himself that his bad behavior is somehow acceptable.
