Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 52
The maid, with an embarrassed expression, clasped her hands respectfully and spoke.
“There’s an order from His Grace the Grand Duke to serve your meal separately in your room, my lady.”
Normally, they shared breakfast together, but now suddenly she was to eat alone in her room. Orentia felt that Dimidius was deliberately avoiding her.
‘So what happened last night wasn’t a dream—it really happened. Now that he’s seen my face, he’s avoiding me.’
Apparently, he truly despised how much she resembled his father.
Orentia sighed deeply and sent the maids away. She disliked eating alone in the dining hall, yet she couldn’t refuse food already prepared for her.
Mechanically chewing her food, Orentia thought about Dimidius.
What kind of pain did he carry from his childhood?
Last night, he seemed honest enough, but had he slammed shut the door to his heart again?
How could she possibly open the door to Dimidius’s heart?
Suddenly, Orentia jolted in alarm. Her own eagerness to open his heart felt strangely unsettling.
‘No, why am I even…? It’s true I feel sorry for His Grace… but we’re only bound by a contract.’
While she was deep in thought, Regalis Pulpa abruptly appeared before her. Dressed in a brightly colored suit, he looked down at Orentia—his gaze shamelessly direct, as if confirming the truth of his proclaimed affections.
“What is it?”
Orentia glared at him with clear disapproval. If Regalis started spouting nonsense again, she wouldn’t let it slide.
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.
