My Childhood Friend Proposed to Me
소꿉친구가 내게 청혼했다Synopsis
“...I’m sorry. My body already belongs to someone.”
The most eligible bachelor in society, the Duke of Bascalia, stormed out of his own wedding.
Everyone wondered who the secret lover he was hiding might be.
Even I did—though once his childhood friend, I am now nothing more than his rival.
But then...
“Why did you approach me like this—sneaking around?”
“...Cherylotte, can I say something crazy?”
“No.”
“I came here to propose to you.”
He placed a property transfer contract before me—me, who was struggling to restore the ruined North.
If I would let him live as my husband for just five years, he promised he would leave on his own.
This was the man who had turned his back on me when I was at my lowest.
I tried to dismiss his offer as nonsense, but then...
“Choose me, Cheryl.”
“...”
“Only I can give you what you want.”
Got it?
There was no warmth, no trace of playfulness in his added words.
Because the only thing he wanted—was me.
