An Incomplete Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
I secretly hoped for an answer like, “I’d be grateful if you’d see me home.”
If she wished, he was more than willing to ride with her in the carriage all the way to her house… Russell Junior was fully prepared to do just that.
“Of course.”
Olivia smiled brightly, instantly dashing his hopes. Russell Junior, embarrassed, scratched his head.
“I’m sorry for troubling you.”
“Not at all. I’m glad you’re feeling better. Just in case—should any problem or difficulty arise, don’t hesitate to tell me. If Miss Blanchet feels comfortable relying on me…”
Russell Junior, eager to win Olivia’s favor, was just about to put into practice something he’d read in an editorial titled “What Is True Gentlemanship?” when a black carriage slipped through the gap between the shrubs, catching his eye over her shoulder.
Russell Junior’s face instantly fell.
Olivia, puzzled, slowly turned her head.
The “R” initial—the logo of Lancelot & Co.—etched onto the carriage door glinted golden in a sliver of sunlight filtering through the leaves.
“Edgar?”
His name slipped reflexively from Olivia’s lips.
Indeed, the man stepping down from the carriage was Edgar.
His unexpected appearance calmed Olivia’s heart—as it always had, ever since some time ago.
She felt reassured, at peace. And when he showed up so suddenly like this… she felt happy.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
