--The duke has been busy--she drink some tea to say it again--but I will tell him to pay more attention to you after all you are his wife

The carriage was waiting for her at the exit of the mansion which headed to the count's mansion, she looked out the window at the streets, it was not very far nor very close, she took a breath and got out of the carriage which had already arrived at the his father's mansion.

His brothers were not only his parents, when her mother saw her, she hugged her and asked her how she was, Elene smiled.

-- I'm fine, I like the duke's mansion, however, I wanted to visit you

 --How is your relationship with the duke going? -- asked his father, waiting for an answer

-- not so good, but father the dowry has already been sent

-- Try harder because we cannot lose this opportunity, and take care of your husband so that he does not look for a mistress or else you will be a disappointment to the family -- he said while grabbing her shoulders.

-- Your father is right, daughter, you are our only hope -- said her mother.

 -- Yes mother -- she responded with his head bowed

Elene did not say anything, she just stayed silent, she knew the desperation that her family was suffering so she simply did not refuse her family's requests, she knew that they loved her, only that due to a mistake they had to compromise her, she had no resentment, she just wanted save his family he didn't want his family to go through poverty ...

...

The duke returned to the mansion, a servant told him that his mother was calling him, in the garden Mrs. Marie was enjoying tea time, the duke walked towards her, taking a seat, he asked her the reason why she called him.

-- I understand that you are busy, but you must pay more attention to your now wife, because we need an heir

<< Did she tell you something? >> thought the duke while listening to his mother

-- I did it, I took time out of my schedule to come back, but I see that it came out

...

Elene, after spending time with her family, returned to the Duke's mansion, when a servant arrived and informed her that the Duke had returned, so she went to the garden where the Duke and Lady Marie were talking.

-- Greetings, Mrs. Marie Duke Edmond -- she said and then took his seat.

-- My dear wife came back, I was wondering where you were -- he said with a smile

<< What, is he still acting like this? Maybe he's just acting because he's with his mother>>

-- I went to visit my parents, I wanted to tell them that I was well and happy, because I want them to know that I feel happy to be by their side, Duke Edmond --
