1. "*sob* that was so scary. How could there be such a large one in the house?"
2. "Don't worry! It'll go away once we put up the insect-repelling charm."
3. I-I'm touching...!
4. It's great that evie feels comfortable enough to stick close to me, but this also means...
5. She doesn't really see me as someone she has to pay extra attention to...
6. Sure enough, I've told her that I "Like" her so many times that she doesn't take it seriously anymore...
7. But I can't ask for too much! I'm more than satisfied with how things currently are.
8. I should keep things as they are, for now...
9. "Ah... Sorry, are you feeling hot?"
10. "I'll stop holding onto you then."
लोड हो रहा है…लोड हो रहा है…
1. "W-what's wrong?"
3. "We're here. How are you going to spend your time today, your ladyship?"
4. "...don't call me that! I stopped being a noble a long time ago."
5. "I brought a novel to pass the time, so I'll be fine if you just let me sit somewhere outside."
6. "Alright, your ladyship!"
7. "I told you to stop calling me that!"
1. "Speaking of which... Why aren't you wearing your maid outfit today?"
2. "It's too hot, so I put my clothes in the backroom. I'll change into them later."
3. "Oh? So you can change at work..."
4. Wait a minute!
5. But then that means when she changed in front of me the other day, she was-
6. "-you were messing with me last time, you rascal!!!"
7. "Got to go!"
8. "I'm off to work!"
9. Ugh, that girl is so...
2. Sigh... I finally reached the part of the story where the lady and her maid elope!
3. I can't wait for the next book!
4. "Excuse me, may I see a menu?"
5. "Happy to serve you today, dear guest! Would you like to order something?"
6. "Um..."
7. She responded way too quickly!
8. "We've updated our menu, so please check out our latest additions."
9. "Let me see... Did you guys add some new specials?"
5. Translator's Notes
6. The novel Yvonne is reading is a reference to the yuri manga Goodbye, My Rose Garden by Dr. Pepperco.
7. The novel is not explicitly named in this week's manhua, but we know its title from the equivalent chapter in Chise's web novel.
8. Original Authors
9. Chisè
10. Cìwèi Māo Yuèdú

2. Here are some details from the equivalent web novel chapter by Chise to help give some context for this chapter. These notes do not spoil future plot developments, but serve as more information to fill out the story.
3. • In earlier versions of the web novel, Yvonne's novel is actually Goodbye, My Rose Garden under a different name, as she mentions how "Miss Alice [Douglas] and Hanako successfully elope." Both characters are the leads of the manga. Revised versions of the web novel have changed this overt reference to that manga and fleshed out The Secret Garden as its own in-universe yuri novel.
4. • It is unclear whether the in-universe The Secret Garden is also a reference to Frances Hodgson Burnett's work of the same name, but as of yet there does not seem to be any overt similarities between the two.
