After Linking the Villainess and Male Lead (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 43
“No.”
That couldn’t be.
I won’t let that happen.
I wanted—no, I was determined—to protect them to the very end, even if it cost me everything.
And Kaern seemed to feel the same.
Despite facing mortal danger himself, he paid no mind to his own safety and instead worried more about Adelia and me.
“So that’s why.”
I hadn’t heard it directly from Kaern, so for now it was still just my speculation…
But perhaps he feared that if I kept visiting the Lavellion ducal household, I’d become a target alongside him.
Now that I finally understood why his behavior and attitude had changed, it felt as if a weight had been lifted from my chest.
At the same time, I felt deeply ashamed and disappointed in myself for having misunderstood Kaern, who had only ever worried for me.
“I don’t know how much help I can really be, but I hope he won’t get hurt anymore.”
I clasped my hands tightly together and steeled my resolve.
Then I began calmly sorting through the thoughts swirling in my mind.
First, I needed to recall the original story in greater detail.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
