Looking into Atia’s eyes, which resembled black pearls, Casus felt strange.
Her looking up at him, tilting her head slightly, she felt like a small rabbit.
A white, small rabbit.
“…….”
Casus coughed awkwardly. He had never felt this odd sensation before.
Atia stared at him quietly and then blinked rapidly with her long eyelashes as she thought.
‘Huh?’
Casus’s blue eyes, which were always cold, looked warm today. Was it her imagination?
‘Or did his pupils also get warm since we came into the greenhouse?’
Atia chuckled at her silly thought.
Atia, who was looking at Casus, squinted her eyes as she laughed.
It was an innocent smile.
Gulp.
For a moment, Casus licked his lips with the tip of his tongue and frowned slightly.
It was an unconscious action to hide his feelings that were swaying at her eye smile.
Atia, who noticed that brief moment as if possessed, gulped.
‘What?’
What was that expression?
In an instant, Casus’s expression became cold. It was a look of quickly hiding his inner feelings.
Casus bent down and plucked a beautifully bloomed flower.
It was a flower with striking yellow stamen amidst skyblue petals.
“It’s a Hyacinth flower.”
As he put the flower in Atia’s ear, Casus spoke.
“It suits you well.”
The Hyacinth flower, adorned as an accent in her silvery hair, enhanced Atia’s beauty.
“…….”
Atia’s eyes trembled slightly, having suddenly had a flower put in her hair.
‘Strange! This is definitely strange!’
This soft tone and strange behavior.
This surely wasn’t something of Casus.
Could it be that like her, someone else has possessed Casus’s body?
She wanted to ask if he was a reincarnator, but she held it in.
Or maybe he suddenly developed an interest in being a florist.
If that’s not the case….
‘Could it be. Did he bring me here to say something unpleasant?’
Like, don’t act without consideration and stay locked in your room?
Even though she’s the Duchess of Wellington, Atia, from the enemy Harad clan, roaming around the ducal residence might have been a sore sight?
Or something happened to her maternal side?
Atia examined Casus’s expression more closely.
“…….”
The fact that he has been avoiding her gaze.
And the look of holding something back.
There was more than one or two suspicious points as she looked more.
Atia quietly surveyed her surroundings.
The vast, beautiful, quiet, but empty greenhouse.
She noticed a pile of dirt piled up in the far corner, seemingly for landscaping management.
‘That, could it be?’
Could he have thought as far as secretly burying her here?
If she didn’t listen to him, would he kill her and treat it as if she died of illness?
One of Casus’s characteristics was to eliminate anything that annoyed him.
Also, in any novel, if there is a plot, there are bound to be twists.
Atia denied her suspicion and bit her lips slightly.
‘Ah, but I don’t think Casus was such a character. My imagination must have run too wild.’
Atia felt Casus’s deep, unreadable gaze sharpen in an instant.
‘Huh? He really wouldn’t mean that, would he?’
In contrast, Casus lifted his eyebrows as he saw the stifffaced Atia.
Atia’s flustered face wasn’t touched, but rather engulfed in fear.
“Why are you suddenly acting like this?”
“…….”
“Do you not like the flowers?”
It seemed like Atia didn’t like them very much.
Then he should show her something better.
Casus said again as he ventured deeper into the greenhouse.
“There are more varieties inside.”
Atia was unsure whether to follow Casus or not.
Considering that Casus was going deeper, it seemed like her imagination might become reality.
How long had they walked?
Casus bent down and lifted a pot.
“This is a rare flower that only grows in the north.”
“Yes…….”
“It can’t be cultivated anywhere else.”
Right now, Casus seemed very,
Foreign to Atia.
“You wouldn’t have seen it where you were. Would you like to smell it?”
Casus lifted the corner of his mouth and showed her a blooming northern white flower.
‘It’s strange, I don’t know why, but this situation isn’t normal.’
Atia stepped back and said,
“Why, why are you doing this, Duke?”
At her guarded stance, Casus furrowed his eyebrows.
“What are you talking about?”
“The fact that you’re acting like this…… haha, it’s strange. You’ve never acted like this before?”
“Ah…….”
Only then did Casus remember the real reason why he brought Atia here.
Even though Atia was from the Harad family, who was his enemy.
The day they went mountain climbing and fell into a lake.
It was true that he and Leo were saved thanks to her.
Ever since that day,
Casus had been bothering because he treated Atia coldly simply because she was from the Harad family.
So he wanted to show his gratitude and ease his wife’s feelings that may have been hurt by his cold demeanor.
He didn’t want to say it in front of the knights, so he changed the location.
To a place where a noble lady would like, here.
But.
Because he had been so cold to her before, it felt a bit awkward when Casus tried to change his demeanor.
It was so hard to even open his mouth that his forehead wrinkled.
His heart had been pounding for a while now, and he felt as if warm blood was rushing up from around it.
Looking at Atia made him thirsty for no reason, and Casus swallowed his saliva unknowingly.
“No, I…….”
Atia started to speak and trailed off.
‘Did, did his gaze change?’
A woman’s sharp intuition is always right.
Atia couldn’t ignore her uneasy hunch.
There was still so much to do.
From the promise to take care of Kesha’s body, to keeping her oath with the knights.
She still didn’t know the secret of Hydegger’s body.
‘What should I do? Should I run?’
“Duke, I, I have some exercises left……. I haven’t finished my back exercises today……. I promised to give the knights physical therapy.”
“I really don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“I have some…… a lot of things left to do.”
“I have something to say to you as well.”
Casus decided to gather his courage once again.
No matter if she was his enemy, it was human decency to express gratitude.
Atia may have insulted him, saying he was not manly, his lower body was weak, and he couldn’t dare to say anything.
She was still young and ignorant, so she could have.
Casus decided to focus only on the fact that Atia saved Leo’s life, without considering anything else.
The enemy is the enemy, and saving is saving.
It would be hard to bring it up if not now.
“…….”
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.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
