I accepted the cup Gracian offered with a feeling of wanting to cry. To stop the hiccups, there was no choice but to drink water while covering my nose.
It was something I had done many times in my life. …The problem was that it had to be done in front of someone I liked.
‘Right, I actually like Gracian…ugh, damn hiccups!’
Still, I thought it would be better to endure the embarrassment and execute the ‘how to stop hiccups’ than to continue hiccuping.
Uheung. I want to cry. What kind of crazy situation is this during the confession? Is my life a comedy genre?
{ㅋㅋㅋ}
{So funny.}
{Cheer up~!}
Those damn butterflies… I told them not to display the text!
Suppressing the frustration, I drank a cup of water. After that, I waited while slowly exhaling, and finally… the hiccups stopped! They didn’t come out anymore!
‘Phew! Thank goodness!’
Exhaling a sigh of relief, I turned to Gracian. He was looking at me with a worried expression, without a trace of amusement.
{As expected of the Benz guy.}
{Are they going to start making babies now?}
{We might need to slowly withdraw.}
Please go away…
Feeling exhausted, I waved my hand to scatter the characters in the air. Gracian gently asked me.
“Are the butterflies still playing tricks on you?”
“Ha… yes. They are really annoying little rascals.”
Smirking at my pouting expression, he suddenly kissed my forehead.
“…?”
I blinked my eyes and stared at him. It was so natural that it was awkward.
Doing skinship like a married couple who had lived together for ten years! Well, of course, this would happen frequently from now on…
“…I clearly expressed my feelings. Now… it’s your turn, madam.”
Saying so, Gracian tightly held both of my hands. His gaze staring at me was intense. It felt like he was saying there was no escape now.
Suddenly, I remembered what he had said before.
“Madam, werewolves have something called ‘imprinting’…”
“Imprinting…?”
“Yes, if I imprint on you, then… even if you want to escape, you won’t be able to.”
“Y-Yes, that’s right.”
He made such a daring statement! This person!
“But… you got imprinted on.”
Hahaha… I laughed awkwardly and avoided his gaze. What’s this strange feeling of joy and fear?
“Madam.”
“Yes, yes!”
He called me urgently, and I answered tensely. I almost bit my tongue. My hands were still tightly held by Gracian.
“…Thump, thump.”
The heartbeat was very loud, clear, and rhythmic. I carefully chose my words in my mind. I wanted to give a convincing answer.
“Madam…”
Gracian called me again with a more earnest tone. Moreover, he looked… incredibly anxious.
“…”
Thump, thump…
The heartbeat was pounding heavily. I answered, full of tension.
“…?”
My figure was fully captured in his enchantingly beautiful silver-gray eyes, as if bewitching a person. The distance between us was very close. Gazing into his eyes, which were like mirrors made of silver, I slowly opened my mouth.
“I…”
…However, I forgot what I was trying to say.
This is all because of the bewitching charm of the wolf!
“I mean…”
Ugh!
Internally screaming, I gave up and blurted out, “…”
…!
Our lips collided roughly, causing a slightly painful sensation.
…Due to impulsive actions, I failed to control the force. Like a fool… Ugh.
However, Gracian only hesitated for a moment, then skillfully supported my waist with one hand, causing my body to tilt backward.
In an instant, my lips, which were in a position as if lying down, began to be gently explored by him.
A warm breath flowed through the opened gap. The sensation mingling with someone else’s, even with experience, didn’t seem like it would ever become familiar.
“Haah…”
I momentarily released my lips and took a deep breath. Gracian gently touched my back, waiting patiently until I finished my breath, then slowly overlapped our lips again.
It felt like my heartbeat would be conveyed to him. No, many things were already intertwining with each other.
Body temperature, breath, and even the secretive parts I wouldn’t allow anyone except a close person to touch.
…Why, of all times, did the butterflies’ words about ‘making a baby’ come to mind?
Gracian was very cautious. I thought he would undress me, but he gently lifted me, carried me to the bed, and laid me down neatly.
“…?”
Then he meticulously covered us with a blanket. Hey?
Us… What was it? Isn’t there something more to do??
“…Good night, madam. Thank you for liking someone like me.”
“…??”
Beyond the awkwardness, I was greatly concerned about the meaningful tone of his words.
‘Someone like me’?
Last night, the unfulfilled tension was absurd, but surely something had changed since this morning.
“Did you sleep well?”
When I woke up, he greeted me affectionately, smiling brightly. It felt like the honeymoon…
He even politely lifted me and took me to the bathroom. It was very different from the times when he kept a subtle distance and observed etiquette.
“Shall I help you wash, madam?”
…It was too different, even if it was different.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
