As If I've Never Loved (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
The beautiful golden candelabra bore a resemblance to the nameless ornamental shrubs adorning the exquisitely landscaped gardens of Fairmont House.
It was because atop each gracefully curved branch, pure white candles bloomed into delicate flames.
Eloise stared blankly at that flickering light. An endlessly gentle radiance shimmered and burned without cease.
As if those brilliant flames could effortlessly consume any shadowy sorrow.
“Eloise.”
At that moment, a voice like a breeze drifted from behind the candelabra—a breeze too faint to extinguish the candles.
“Dinner’s ready.”
“…….”
Eloise’s expression grew dazed without her meaning it to.
It was the first time since that stormy dawn that Ansel had spoken to her—and the first time she’d accidentally met his gaze, which he’d deliberately avoided until now.
“Come in before it gets cold.”
Ironically, the food already laid out on the table had long gone cold.
She’d noticed the maid clearing dishes and leaving the dining room, yet somehow so much time had slipped away unnoticed.
Eloise swallowed hard and lowered her eyes. It was only then that she realized he, too, hadn’t touched his meal all this while.
“I’m not very hungry, so I’ll eat slowly. Please go ahead before your food gets cold.”
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.
