“Prince Carl?!”
Melissa immediately lowered her voice and said to Whitney.
“Did you tell anyone else about this?”
“It’s not important right now. His Highness the First Prince is unconscious!”
“Then you go and call for help quickly. I’ll check if he’s alright. Hurry up and bring the guards and gather everyone!”
Pushed by Melissa, Whitney went to find the guards. The eyes of the people in the hall were on her, but she ignored them.
Returning to the beach with the guards, she saw Prince Carl awake in Melissa’s arms.
It was Whitney who had saved him, yet her sister Melissa received the reward bestowed by His Majesty the King. Even the prince’s heart seemed captivated by her.
“Thank you for saving my life, Lady Melissa.”
“I just happened to find His Highness during a walk. It was an honor to be able to save him.”
Whitney couldn’t say a word. Even if she claimed to have saved him, no one would believe her. Knowing this, she kept her mouth shut.
Even if she had fallen for the beautiful prince with golden hair, she only had to hide her feelings. It was easier not to desire something unattainable.
Melissa would try to take everything Whitney had. Surviving in the Duke’s mansion without her father was challenging enough for Whitney.
A prince was not meant for Whitney. Perhaps for the lovely Melissa with her auburn hair, but not for her. Maybe this was the right outcome.
If only it had ended there.
Led by Carl’s words that she just needed to honestly report to the king about the incident, Whitney went to the audience chamber. She thought she only had to say that she found Prince Carl when he fell into the sea and tried to save him.
“Whitney Orléans, as a witness, tell us everything you saw at that time.”
Whitney didn’t understand why she was being called a witness. Her gaze wavered in front of the king and queen.
“Are you saying you saw someone who tried to kill His First Highness, pushed him off the cliff?”
“No, I…”
“Your Majesty, it seems she is greatly shocked. Perhaps we should continue this conversation later?”
The king nodded at Carl’s suggestion. Whitney was led out of the audience chamber by Carl’s hand.
“Prince Carl!”
“Whitney.”
Carl called her name tenderly and turned to face her.
“I actually know that you saved me. How could I forget the touch of your lips on mine?”
“Do you really believe it was me?”
“Yes. But since everyone saw Melissa holding me, we had to let it pass. I know you saved me.”
His words made Whitney’s vision waver. The affectionate look in his eyes and the warmth of his hand holding hers reminded her of her father.
After the death of Duke Orléans, everyone who approached her had different motives. Even her close friends drifted away because of Melissa. She was utterly isolated and had no choice but to follow the lead of her stepmother and Melissa.
And then Carl approached her. Whispering sweet words of knowing everything and declaring his love.
“I love not Melissa, but you. You are my savior, the one who saved my life.”
Carl kissed the back of her hand. His sincere voice made Whitney burst into tears.
“That’s why I have a favor to ask, if you really are the one who saved me.”
“What favor…?”
“My brother, my beloved sibling, is trying to kill me. Could you testify that Chester pushed me? When all this is over, I will marry you. I will take you away from the Duke’s house.”
His words, whispered as if he knew her situation, made Whitney clench her fists.
“There’s no one who loves you there. Come to me. I can’t help but love the one who saved me.”
Carl tilted his head, urging her to answer. The warmth in their intertwined hands and the sincerity in his red eyes didn’t seem false.
“Anyway, Chester being a prince will just get a simple punishment. But shouldn’t I warn him? If this continues, I may live in fear, not knowing when I will die, and ruin myself. Whitney, just say a word to my father for me, for my sake.”
He continued to whisper gently in Whitney’s ear.
“I will give you the love you desire.”
Love. A warm place filled with laughter. She longed for it more than anything.
But Whitney was no fool.
“I cannot falsely accuse someone who is innocent.”
“You just have to nod. Do it for me.”
At Carl’s words, Whitney looked up in shock, but she couldn’t respond due to Carl’s kiss.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
