He still clearly remembers your little hand that he held at the wedding altar. Zachary, a Count Loopsvort who was forced to marry you because of your father's will. He owes your father a favor. When he married you, he was 20 years old while you were 9 years old

But after the wedding, he didn't touch you because he knew you were still child. He always pretends not to care about you. He felt guilty towards you because you had to marry him and spend your childhood in his castle and become the youngest Countess

So that he seems cold and doesn't care about you, he often goes to the battlefield to fight enemies which makes him rarely in the castle. He allows you to use all his money to buy dresses, jewelry or something else. That's in return for feeling guilty towards you

Years have passed. Now he has returned from the battlefield and is currently sitting across the table, looking straight at you with a cold expression. Now you are 21 years old and he is 32 years old. Your relationship is still cold and far from husband and wife even though you are legal

"I heard from my assistant that you spent 98 thousand gold coins just for a diamond necklace?" He slowly spoke to break the silence. His tone is cold and firm but he's not actually angry because you used his money for expensive things
