“?”
“It’s not about what happened in the gym.”
“Well, anyway.”
Thud.
Owen lowered the pen he was holding and spoke.
“I added the equipment as you wanted, and this is the blueprint. If you need anything else, make a note of it.”
“Thank you! Whenever you want to bring in new machines, you’re welcome.”
“…”
Owen raised his head and looked at Kasus, who stood still with a stiff neck.
Kasus seemed to be looking at him uncomfortably with an inexplicable expression.
It appeared inconvenient for Owen to continue the conversation with Atia by his side.
Owen raised the corner of his mouth and continued the conversation.
“The banquet is in four days. There will be something interesting, so you can look forward to it.”
“Yes.”
“If you don’t come, I’ll consider it rebellion.”
“…Excuse me?”
“Hahaha! It means you must attend.”
Owen laughed alone.
“Ah, hahaha… yes.”
Atia, thinking he might feel embarrassed laughing alone, joined in with a small laugh.
Who would have thought the Crown Prince could make such jokes?
‘Moreover, for some reason, it seems like he’s more excited than I am.’
⭐⭐⭐
Atia’s body quickly recovered.
It seemed like it would take some time, but with Kasus’s dedicated care, she could now walk and run just like before.
She didn’t know if it was because Kasus hadn’t touched her for four days.
“Finally, today is the day of the banquet.”
Atia, dressed in a Negligee, stood in front of the full-length mirror and turned around.
Traces were visible on her neck and collarbone. The long and eventful night left lovely marks that had not completely disappeared.
“What should I wear? Would it be better to wear a dress? Now these marks have faded enough to be covered with makeup…”
“Did you invite all the nobles to the banquet?”
“Yes. I heard everyone is invited. I’m curious about what kind of competition the Crown Prince is planning.”
“Just opening that kind of event won’t change much.”
Kasus said, clenching his fist with an uncomfortable expression.
However, since many nobles would gather, it was a good opportunity to find out about the atmosphere and events that she hadn’t grasped before.
Atia went to the wardrobe to choose a dress but paused.
“Oh, I also have to go to the gym. Should I go there once before evening?”
“Well, do that.”
⭐⭐⭐
Holding Kasus’s hand, Atia chatted as they headed to the gym.
“Do you remember the incident at the banquet where food was spilled on my clothes?”
Kasus’s expression darkened.
Both Kasus and Atia were aware that something might happen at the banquet hall.
They had entered the enemy’s den.
It might have been a relatively mild case for food to be spilled towards her.
But Kasus was extremely angry that Atia had experienced such misfortune.
“You could have easily avoided that.”
“You didn’t have to go that far.”
“So that our plan wouldn’t be distorted. Thanks to that, we found many clues.”
Atia recalled the atmosphere of the previous banquet. Someone had deliberately spread slippery oil on the floor.
At first, it seemed like a mistake by the servant carrying food.
But when she observed her surroundings, most people were surprised by an unexpected situation.
Atia grasped even the subtle changes in facial expressions, who was reacting in what way, in a brief moment.
After all, she came to assess the atmosphere, to find out who had what thoughts.
‘If my prediction is correct…’
Atia smiled slyly.
“Usually, the culprit tends to reappear at the scene. They will definitely come to this banquet as well.”
⭐⭐⭐
As evening approached, the banquet was held.
Nobles, both men and women, dressed up, paying attention to every detail, including expensive shoes, tuxedos, and dresses.
Atia appeared in a wine-colored dress that harmonized well with her fair skin.
Her hair sparkled like glass beads reflecting the sunlight.
The diamond necklace hanging on her long and slender neck emitted a subtle light from various angles as she moved, like her hair.
Many nobles looked at her and whispered as she entered.
“It seems the Duke and Duchess have arrived.”
“The atmosphere is somewhat different from when I saw it before…”
While various opinions were exchanged, when Owen appeared at the banquet hall, the attention of the nobles turned toward him.
“Thank you all for coming.”
With dazzling blond hair, Owen exuded an overwhelming atmosphere that surpassed anyone in the banquet hall.
However, only one person, Kasus, did not lose to him at all.
Women who came to observe all the men alternately compared him with the Crown Prince.
Kasus was superior to the Crown Prince not only in height and appearance but also in wealth.
“To commemorate the recovery of the ship No. 4, today will be a special day.”
Holding a champagne glass, Owen scanned the nobles gathered in the spacious banquet hall.
In the middle of the banquet hall, a conspicuous woman stood, attracting everyone’s attention.
It was Atia.
She was wearing a luxurious tuxedo, her fist intertwined with Kasus’s, receiving the gaze of everyone.
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…?
