“What’s wrong with being mature? You’re saying that because you’ve never raised a child. Don’t you know how good that is?”
At Romie’s words, Handel added.
“You’ll understand eventually. How fortunate we are to have Vincent as a successor. Honestly, where can you find another child as smart as our son?”
“It’s not all about being a genius. If Vincent were an average child, would you not have recommended him as a successor?”
“Of course! If he hadn’t been so outstanding, why would we have sacrificed so much to raise him? If that were the case, then…ugh!”
Before Handel could finish, both of them floating in the air, caught in a net. Handel and Romie started swinging.
Estel widened her eyes at the sight. Then a booming voice came from above.
“Really, isn’t that too much!”
Handel, Romie, and Estel looked up. Delrina was there, holding the trap’s string.
“Did you really do this, Yeongae?”
“Yes, I apologize for intervening as a third party. But there were too many hard-to-listen-to conversations, so I lifted you up to cool your heads.”
Romie looked flabbergasted at Delrina’s words.
“How could you be so rude…! That’s why I told you not to make friends.”
“You don’t like it? I thought you’d appreciate this ingenious device made by your genius son. Shouldn’t you naturally like it?”
“Now is not the time for that!”
“Do you think your son effortlessly excels at everything? He’s working hard behind the scenes! Always conducting experiments!”
Handel and Romie were speechless, shuddering. Only then did Delrina nervously glance back. Vincent was standing there, blankly.
“I’m sorry. They’re your parents, but listening to them made me act impulsively…”
“How did you know there was a trap under the tree?”
“I’ve fallen into your traps so many times, I’ve learned.”
Vincent had hastily pulled the trap’s activation cord in an attempt to end their conversation. And as one could see, this was the result. It was then.
“Pfft.”
“?”
“Hahaha!”
Vincent burst into laughter.
“I never thought you’d handle it that way.”
“……Uh, I think I just saw a scene I didn’t expect. Is this also due to some hormone or something?”
It seemed like the hormones were seriously malfunctioning.
Delrina wore a bewildered expression, having never seen Vincent laugh so loudly before. Vincent’s face, having ceased laughing, looked more relaxed than before.
“Blocking the conversation to trigger a trap, truly a move only you would make.”
Vincent soon moved and looked down through the window. Hendel and Romie spoke as if relieved upon seeing Vincent.
“Vincent, you’re there? Then hurry and bring this down. Really, why I consider you a friend is…”
“I’ve known for a long time that you’re targeting the dukedom using my succession as an excuse.”
“……What?”
“And you know? My move to the dukedom is already confirmed, and the moment that happens, you and I are not even parent and child. And as the duke, I have every right to expel you.”
“What are you talking about, Vincent?”
“From now on, this is my home, a valuable space where I experiment with my sister. So if you’re going to come here for that purpose, don’t come at all.”
Vincent turned his gaze toward Estel. Upon making eye contact, Estel quietly smiled.
“How can you say ‘don’t come’? We are your parents, Vincent, Vincent?”
They both cried out desperately, but Vincent closed the window. Delrina, who was watching him closely, slowly caressed her chest.
“Why are you doing that?”
“No, just a bit surprised by what just happened… is this what they call the surprise hormone?”
“That’s not how you use that term.”
“……Fine, I’m stupid.”
‘Anyway, you haven’t changed, you haven’t.’
As Delrina was mumbling to herself, Vincent resumed speaking.
“Well, thanks to that, I’ve come to my senses. It seems like we also have one more experiment to conduct simultaneously.”
“An experiment, even in this situation? How like you, Vincent.” Of course, Delrina asked as if she were accustomed.
“What experiment are you talking about?”
“It’s a two-year-long one for now.”
“What?”
“I don’t know what comes after that. But it will be fun. You always exceed my expectations.”
“……?”
Delrina blinked at the incomprehensible words. Vincent simply grinned as he looked at her.
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…?
