Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
The end of a day was given equally to everyone.
As the sun set, darkness unfailingly blanketed every street of Putua. Even Lowell Street, where mainly the upper class stayed, began to see sparse lamplights flickering to life in the shops.
Among them, a bar on the outskirts was filled not with the usual boisterous clamor of a tavern, but with the sighs of two men.
Whenever a sigh heavy with lament fell from the left side of the long table, a deeper, heavier breath would immediately settle down from the right.
Even the bartender kept his distance from the pair, wary of the gloomy energy alternately exchanged between them like a call-and-response.
“Ha….”
“Huu….”
Thus, their sighs continued in eerie harmony for about ten minutes.
Even the two men themselves felt a strange sense of déjà vu at such an unusual sound. They halted mid-motion, lifting their heads just as they were about to bring their glasses to their lips.
Their eyes met at once—and the man with crimson irises was the first to blurt out in surprise.
“You’re…!”
Eugene, pointed at unconsciously by Dion, replied coolly.
“It seems fate insists we meet again.”
With a faint sneer, he filled his empty glass to the brim—long having abandoned the noble etiquette of filling it just past halfway.
Dion, interpreting Eugene’s demeanor as unpleasant, narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
