The person who called Deborah was Cedric. Although it was a mansion, it was so spacious that meeting by chance was surprising.
“It’s nice to meet you like this.”
“Haven’t we seen each other before?”
“Even so, it’s nice to meet you. Miss Deborah, are you not glad to see me by any chance?”
Cedric raised his eyebrows and said with a playful expression. In response to his teasing, Deborah smiled.
“Of course, I’m glad.”
Cedric, who had a gentle smile with his eyes slightly narrowed, looked at the book in Deborah’s hand.
“Did you visit the library?”
“Yes. I took quite a while to choose.”
Deborah shook the book in her hand and said.
“Is it a recommended book for Viscount Blaise?”
“No. I’m reading it for myself.”
“Excuse me, but may I ask what book it is?”
“It’s ‘The Noir River Murder Case.'”
“What?”
Cedric asked innocently, raising his eyebrows. Deborah held up the book cover to make it clearly visible and said.
“It’s a well-known detective novel. I’ve wanted to read it for a long time, and I was delighted to find it in the library.”
“Oh, I see.”
Cedric thought that if it were Deborah, she might read warm novels, beautiful poetry collections, or useful non-literary books.
But a detective novel? The title itself seemed terribly cruel.
‘She’s looking for and reading something like that.’
Although he had observed her for quite some time, Deborah continued to show new sides of herself. And that was definitely not a bad thing.
“By the way, have you had your meal? The head chef has been worried a lot lately, saying you haven’t been eating. Would you like to eat now?”
“Haha. I tried it because the lady said she was going on a diet.”
“In the world. Where do you have to lose weight so badly?”
“I gained weight even if you didn’t, miss! I guarantee that before losing weight, I returned to Balmes, everyone would have said they didn’t recognize me because my face had become so round.”
“No way. Even if you say you’ve become more attractive, I won’t feel relieved.”
Deborah and Cedric walked slowly down the corridor. The additional warmth by her side made it less chilly.
“Mrs. Brown seemed quite uneasy today. What do you think?”
“Please rest. In fact, she hasn’t slept a wink for the past few days.”
“Oh.”
“When the lady comes, she always asks me to wake her up. But I think it’s better for her to keep sleeping just like that. She seems scared she might get sick if she doesn’t.”
“Is Miss Deborah okay?”
Deborah innocently opened her eyes and then spoke while resting her palm on her cheek.
“Haha. I wasn’t so nervous. I knew the lady would handle it well.”
Cedric smiled faintly. What he was worried about was her health.
Lately, Deborah’s complexion hadn’t been good. According to Shelly, she even seemed to have trouble sleeping.
‘But today, she seems a bit better. She looks more relaxed. Perhaps.’
Cedric, who was walking slowly, said.
“Will you tell me what the book is about after you’ve finished reading it?”
“Oh my. You’re asking me without reading it yourself?”
“Yes, I prefer listening to stories rather than reading books.”
“Okay. I’ll make sure to do that.”
Cedric continued to walk slowly, hearing Deborah’s energetic response. Considering the piled-up work on his desk, he should have walked faster, but somehow, his steps felt heavy, as if he didn’t want to hurry.
As soon as Jen left, people around Dia began to buzz with excitement.
“Didn’t they say he’s Viscount Blaise’s fiancé?”
“Blaise… It sounds familiar.”
“Anyway, the important thing is that he’s Viscount Blaise’s fiancé!”
“Oh my… It looks like the end even for this country.”
Contemptuous voices were heard, and
“Look at the size of the ring! A ring worthy of his reputation…”
“Are they from different social statuses? Then they haven’t married yet?”
Lustful voices were also heard.
Dia had no place to move her eyes. Even if she left her seat now, it seemed that the voices she heard wouldn’t disappear.
At that moment, someone who seemed to have bathed in rose petals approached her.
“Hello. Are you Viscount Blaise’s fiancée?”
“I’m sorry for starting a conversation so suddenly. Were you uncomfortable?”
“No, not at all.”
In response to Dia’s answer, the woman smiled brightly.
“I’m Jennifer Rose.”
‘Jennifer Rose?’
Dia felt that this name, or rather, this surname, was familiar.
‘Perhaps…’
With her hands tightly clasped, Dia asked.
“Are you Lady Rose, the wife of Viscount Rose?”
“Oh my, you know me!”
Lady Rose, smiling like a fully bloomed flower, seemed delighted.
“In fact, I saw you when you came in earlier… My, how beautiful you are! I thought I was hallucinating.”
“You’re flattering me.”
“Oh! I have high standards, and I always tell the truth.”
Having received two drinks from a passing waiter, Lady Rose offered one to Dia.
“Viscount Hugh doesn’t like strong alcohol, so I always prepare sweet drinks like this. It’s exclusively designed for this party, so it’s a loss if you don’t try it.”
“Thank you.”
Lady Rose, receiving the glass carefully from Dia, whispered to her.
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…?
