Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 91
After some personal conversation, Kilrun and Bobby left the lodging first.
Dimidius paused briefly, then slowly turned to look at Orentia. A desolate expression flickered in his crimson eyes.
“I was truly angry, but I tried not to believe it. Because the lady I’ve known isn’t that kind of person. And if I accepted parting from you, I feared I truly wouldn’t be able to bear it.”
His eyes still seemed shocked, trembling faintly. It felt astonishing and strange to look directly into Dimidius’s face like this.
Orentia felt a slight chill run down her spine as she spoke to Dimidius.
“It’s true I wanted to leave for somewhere, anywhere, for a while. I’ve been far too exhausted lately.”
She chose to be honest because she didn’t want to hide her true feelings from Dimidius.
At that, Dimidius stepped closer and took her hand. His large, warm hand completely enveloped Orentia’s slender one.
It wasn’t because he needed holy power—he just seemed to want to share his warmth.
“The Crown Prince’s threats have been relentless; no wonder you’re exhausted. I feel ashamed that, as your husband, I knew nothing about it all this time.”
“No, it’s not your fault. I chose not to tell you. I thought it was something I alone should bear. After all, it was only a contract marriage, and there wasn’t much time left anyway.”
Was it about two months remaining? She couldn’t recall the exact date and had to guess. That was how accustomed Orentia had become to married life with Dimidius. It had been far more comfortable than she’d expected, filled with many joyful memories. Yet despite all that, she’d still wanted to leave him—because she cared deeply that he not get hurt.
She’d realized during the carriage ambush just how terrifying it was to have one’s life threatened.
At that moment, Dimidius gripped Orentia’s hand tightly and said,
“Instead of pretending, why don’t we become a real married couple and face this together? Of course, exorcising the demon and standing against the Crown Prince won’t be easy—but if we look hard enough, we’ll find a way.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
