“If you have any business with the lady, get permission from the master first.”
Abel chuckled.
“That woman is not owned by Callos. Do I need Callos’s permission just to give her a gift?”
“A gift?”
“Yeah, this.”
Abel took a small box from his pocket and opened the lid, revealing fruits slightly smaller than strawberries inside.
Jessie’s eyes widened like lanterns at the sight.
“No way, are these Allegria?”
“That’s right.”
“Oh, my goodness. To see such a precious thing with my own eyes.”
“Are these fruits really that precious?”
In my eyes, they just look like ordinary fruits?
As Irene asked in puzzlement, Jessie nodded vigorously.
“Yes! Allegria is an extremely rare fruit to the point where it’s said only the chosen ones can eat it. The taste is also superb, and those who eat it have all claimed to have seen heaven.”
Is that fruit really that delicious?
As Irene looked at the fruit with curious eyes, Abel extended the box towards her.
“Try one.”
“Really? Can I eat it?”
“Of course. I brought it to give it to you, so go ahead and eat it.”
He’s giving me such a precious fruit?
Why?
“…….,” Unable to understand his actions, Irene regarded Abel with caution, her fur standing up like a cat’s.
At that, Abel sighed deeply, looking disappointed, and shrugged his shoulders.
“Really. I bring something nice, but all I get in return is suspicion and wariness. Disappointing.”
“…….,” Saying that made Irene feel a bit sorry…
Moreover, she was curious about the claim that the fruit was so delicious it made people feel like they had seen heaven.
“Opportunities to eat Allegria are rare, so try it, Miss.”
Since even Jessie was saying that, Irene hesitated for a moment before picking up the fruit.
As she bit into the fruit, refreshing and sweet juice burst forth, filling her mouth, and soon, a delight akin to fireworks exploding right before her eyes overwhelmed her.
“It’s delicious…….”
As Irene involuntarily exclaimed in admiration, Abel smiled proudly.
“See? Have another one.”
While eating Allegria, Irene’s wariness towards Abel completely crumbled.
Irene picked up another red fruit without any hesitation.
Already knowing the taste, she expected less excitement this time, but it was still delicious enough to elicit admiration.
What it must feel like for people to claim they’ve seen heaven, Irene wondered.
Perhaps because of that, her vision slightly shook, and her mind became hazy.
It felt like her face was gradually getting warmer.
“……Can I try it too?”
“Of course…….”
Even amidst Jessie and Abel’s conversation, their voices sounded disconnected.
“Do you want more?”
In the meantime, Abel’s suggestion to try Allegria stuck in her ears, making it all seem strange.
Irene, enchanted, picked up the fruit and ate it.
And not long after, her vision became dizzy, and her legs lost strength.
“Miss!”
Jessie quickly supported the collapsing Irene.
“Are you okay, Miss?”
“…….,”
“Miss.”
“……Jessie.”
Leaning against Jessie’s chest without any strength, Irene, who had been listlessly leaning, raised her head sluggishly.
Her face was abnormally red.
She was perfectly fine just a while ago; why did her face suddenly turn red?
“It’s too hot here…….”
“Oh, Miss!”
It was already confusing to hear that, and to top it off, Irene was attempting to undress, which surprised Jessie as he tried to stop her.
“In this cold wind, you say it’s hot! What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Am I hot?”
It’s not like he’s fanning himself in a burning house. What is he doing?
When Jessie glared at him, Abel turned his head, pretending to be indifferent.
“It’s hot…….”
“No, it’s not hot, Miss.”
“No, it’s hot. So, how about taking off your clothes…….?”
Her face is red, and the way she’s throwing a tantrum is similar to someone intoxicated.
Could it be…?
“Could you get intoxicated from eating Allegria?”
The answer came completely unexpected.
“Yes. Underground residents don’t experience any side effects from eating Allegria, but ordinary humans may have similar side effects to hers.”
“……!”
Only then did Jessie, frozen in place, discover Carlos approaching from this side.
“We’re in trouble.”
Abel, who was fidgeting like a dog in urgent need of the bathroom, quietly pulled his foot back.
“Where are you going?”
But Carlos, projecting his shadow, grabbed his ankle, preventing him from escaping.
Not long after, facing Carlos head-on, an awkward smile crept onto Abel’s lips.
“Ha, ha… Hello, Carlos.”
Thick eyebrows lifted slightly.
“Can you even say hello to me?”
“Umm……”
Abel, at a loss for words, rolled his eyes awkwardly.
During his time here, Carlos, annoyed by everything he had seen and heard through Irene’s attached shadow, was extremely irritated.
Abel, the lord of the underground, had to know about the side effects of Allegria, yet he fed it to Irene.
It seemed intentional no matter how he thought about it, so Carlos glared at Abel.
“Why did you give her Allegria?”
Awkwardly smiling, Abel scratched his cheek.
“Don’t look at me like that. I just gave it to her with a good intention that she should also taste something delicious.”
Carlos snorted.
“You probably didn’t know that there would be side effects when ordinary humans eat food from the underground world like Allegria, right?”
“Of course, I knew. But she’s not an ordinary human……”
“Abel.”
Cutting off Abel’s words, Carlos turned to Irene.
Irene, who had lost consciousness, was now limp in Jessie’s arms.
She had been worried about what Abel was saying. Fortunately, she hadn’t heard it.
“I’ll take her with me.”
Carlos, who received Irene, skillfully held her in his arms.
Abel, seeing Carlos handling Irene with a skill that seemed practiced, whistled softly.
“…….,”
The sound bothered Carlos, who looked at Abel with a furrowed brow.
“Fix the barrier on your own today.”
“What? What the……”
Although Abel tried to protest in surprise, Carlos continued speaking.
“Or would you like to come with me and have a long talk about what you did today?”
“…….,”
Having a horrifying imagination of being scolded by Carlos throughout the barrier repair, Abel shook his body and lowered his head.
“No, I’ll go alone.”
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.
