"...Looks like the Lady, was adored by the duchess of Cordoba, My lord. They are always seen together, in events and the Duchess would always take the Lady shopping." The Grandduke's butler reported.

The Grandduke just nod, looking at the pictures.

"Make sure to prepare my Granddaughter and the young duke of Cordoba's room for next week." The Grandduke ordered his butler.

"The future duke will be staying with us, my lord?"

They Grandduke nod. "He will be staying here, along with my Granddaughter."

"What about the Duchess, my lord?"

"Let's worry about it when we have to."

"Very well" the butler bowed. "I shall prepare the room for the lady and the Future duke."

As soon as the butler left, the grandduke opened his phone to check her granddaughter's message.

Andrea: I'll be there next week, Lo as promised and I'll also be bringing my boyfriend with me.

The Grand duke replied to Mal before he hid his phone on the drawer and pick up one the folder infront of him.

Zielo got home late at night dahil may pinuntahan ito kasama ang ama nito. Leaving Mal with the duchess all day attending charity events.

He thought Mal is already asleep ng dumating sya but to his surprise Mal is still awake talking to her friends on the laptop.

nangmagtama ang mata nila ng makapasok sya ay agad syang nginitian ni Mal. "Welcome home, your grace."

Zielo was confused Mal was avoiding him since yesterday, she was not talking to him and just nod when he is talking. He gave her space, just like she wanted and now Mal is back smiling at him like nothing happened.

Hindi na pinalagpas ni Zielo ang pagkakataon. Lumapit sya sa dalaga at hinalikan ang ulo nito. "Welcome home indeed."

Mal was sitting on the living room of his room with her laptop on the table infront.

"Oh! gad! please get a room." reklamo ni Louis.

Zielo chuckled. Don nya lang napagtanto na kausap ni Mal ang mga kaibigan nito. "Hi there!"Bati nya sa kaibigan ni Mal.

"Don't mind them your grace. they are just bitter." sambit ni Mal before sticking her tongue out to her friends. "Anyways, Matutulog na kami byee."

without waiting for her friends response Mal dropped the video call and close her laptop.

"Are you done talking to them?" tanong ni Zielo

"Yep, they do have things to do anyway." Mal shrugged. "Go get change your grace."

Zielo nod. "Wait for me."

Zielo took a bath and change into his sleeping clothes. When he got out of the closet he saw Mal sitting on the bed, she's wearing a night gown and her creamy legs are exposed.

She was smiling while typing something on her phone.

"Who are you talking to?" Zielo asked when he sat on the edge of the bed opposite to Mal.

"Just Sarah and Louis they are bugging me because I hang up on them." kwento nito before she set her phone aside and faced Zielo. "Hows your day, your grace? Tired?"
