Ai Ha Karisomedenaku / Original Title: TEMPORARY HUSBAND (Harlequin Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Cate was at boarding school in Paris when she received news of her father's death. Her father owed a large sum of money to his best friend Blake, and he wanted Cate and Blake to marry after his death. Why would my loving father think such an unreasonable thing, when a man who was 19 years older than me, extremely wealthy, and always with a beautiful woman, would never accept a marriage with a little girl like me? A week later, when Blake arrives to pick her up, she learns that he has a lover, a young wife.
