“They’re genuine. We’re finding a way to make them grow faster. Just a little more patience, please.”
Cheston nodded slightly. With bellonia in hand, his mother would recover.
“How about your body?”
“The herbs were useful. How’s mother?”
“Lady Elenia has been sleeping for days. Also, Whitney Orleans is investigating the duke’s finances.”
Cheston had been receiving updates about her. She seemed to be diligently gathering information about the duke’s manor.
“Sesilia, the temporary family head, right?”
“Yes, Whitney Orleans will officially become the head only after reaching adulthood. With just the butler on her side, it won’t be easy to gain authority.”
“It’s a lonely battle for both of us.”
Cheston felt a headache coming on and gestured to Aron.
“What did you talk about?”
“I’ll tell you another time, when you’re ready.”
Aron’s face turned to shock. Initially not wanting to know, he now stepped back apprehensively.
A few days later, Aron rushed to Cheston, panting heavily.
“What’s the matter?”
“We received a letter from the informant.”
Aron then brought up the main point.
“It seems to be from Whitney Orleans.”
“We haven’t discussed the matter since I accepted her proposal.”
Aron looked at Cheston anxiously.
“What exactly did you discuss?”
“A story that will shock you.”
“You won’t tell me and now say it’s shocking?”
Cheston laughed and placed the documents on the table, then called out softly.
“Aron.”
His brown eyes trembled, then he hastily stopped him.
“Whatever it is, please don’t say it.”
“Why, you wanted to know.”
“I’ve changed my mind. Seeing Your Highness smile, I’d rather not know.”
Cheston leaned back, gazing straight into Aron’s eyes.
“I agreed to get engaged.”
“What? You decided such an important matter alone?! What if she clings to you later…”
“She said she’d stake her life on it.”
“Her life?”
“Trusting someone who’s willing to risk their life for me might be foolish, huh?”
Aron fell silent for a moment, recalling the girl who seemed as fresh as a spring leaf. He couldn’t simply dismiss her as foolish. Her clear, honest-looking eyes and her seemingly innocuous actions flashed through his mind.
For some reason, she seemed sincere.
He felt foolish for thinking this way, but he couldn’t help it. Her consistent behavior had been steady and made him want to trust her.
“Why not trust her? She found the herb that could save Lady Elenia, and she didn’t seem like a bad person.”
“You were against it before, and now you’ve changed your tune.”
“You want to trust her, so I’ll follow your lead. If it goes wrong, we can always end her life.”
Cheston chuckled at Aron’s words. What good was the threat of death to someone unafraid of dying?
“She could be valuable. Both the queen and Prince Carl are interested in her. If an enemy covets something, it must be for a good reason.”
“Valuable? She’s become more important than that.”
He shook his head. She wasn’t just a person to be demeaned with such words. Whitney had become someone special to him.
Aron’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Cheston slightly ignored Aron’s gaze and opened the envelope, reading the letter she sent.
“No need to worry.”
“About what?”
“About her clinging to me.”
Cheston’s grip on the documents tightened.
[Contract]The document she sent was an engagement contract. At least until Cheston saw the word ‘contract,’ he had thought of Whitney and himself as having a special relationship.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
