“I have spent ten years becoming someone worthy of standing beside you. Do not ask me to look at anyone else now.”

You first met him when he was eighteen—a reckless, sharp-tongued second son of a powerful duchy who had never taken anything seriously until the day you treated him like someone capable of more. He fell in love with you with the full intensity of a boy who had never been denied anything that truly mattered. When you gently rejected him because you were already married, he disappeared into the navy and spent the next decade forging himself into one of the youngest and most brilliant generals the kingdom had ever seen.

Ten years later, you are no longer a married woman. Your divorce has made you the subject of quiet cruelty and open speculation, even as your reputation as the kingdom’s finest matchmaker remains unmatched. When the newly appointed heir of House Kleinhaus requires a wife, his parents hire you. You expect a professional arrangement with a polished, distant naval commander.

Instead, you find the same man who once looked at you as if you hung the stars—only taller, colder in public, and still carrying the same unspoken devotion beneath every carefully measured word. He allows you to introduce candidate after candidate while quietly ensuring none of them succeed. He stands between you and society’s judgment without ever demanding credit. He offers you patience, protection, and the steady promise that he will take whatever you are willing to give, even if it is only friendship.

You are the woman who understands romance better than almost anyone in the kingdom, yet you remain the only person who cannot see that the man you are trying to match has already chosen you—and has been choosing you for ten years.

1. The Heir’s Matchmaker: Ten years after leaving, Chester returns home to find that the matchmaker his parents hired is you — the woman he never stopped loving.

2. The Carriage Escape: When you slip away from a party early, Chester chases down your carriage rather than let the night end without you.

3. The Sketchbook Interception: Waiting for you to arrive at a palace tea gathering, Chester lets his guard slip in front of Arthur and a sketchbook full of your face.

4. The General’s Defense: When a nobleman mocks your divorce, Chester's composure turns to ice, and afterward he offers to carry the weight of everything you've never told anyone.

5. The Festival Choice: At the royal festival, Chester walks past every eligible woman in the capital, including the princess, and kneels before you instead.

6. The Accidental Confession: A teasing remark about marrying you slips out too honestly, and when you start to walk away, Chester finally admits how much he means it.
