Chapter: 701

Astelle said sarcastically, but the Duke didn’t care.

“I heard it is not serious. Young children are often ill.”

The Duke of Reston glanced at the door.

After confirming that the door was tightly closed, he said his main purpose for coming here.

“Someone secretly investigated my estate a few days ago.”

Astelle tried not to be surprised.

She didn’t expect that her father would bring it up so suddenly.

“Brother Fritz went to investigate the estate.”

“It’s not what Fritz did.”

The Duke of Reston went on in frustration.

“Someone did a background check on me while Fritz was clearing up the estate’s problems.”

“Is that really true?”

Astelle looked surprised.

She then watched her father’s anxious face intently.

Are you trying to test me? That’s very possible.

He may have noticed that it was Astelle’s work and is acting to see her reaction.

Astelle asked him as naturally as possible, looking surprised and frightened.

“Who would have done that?”

“I don’t know.”

“What was there?”

At Astelle’s question, the Duke remained silent for a moment.

“You don’t need to know. It’s not a big deal.”

“You came to see me in this early morning even though it’s not a big deal?”

“It’s almost time to wake up anyway.”

“Theor was sick, so I took care of him all night.”
