“Going forward, I am Deborah Johnson, who will be accompanying Miss.”
Deborah, who had her hand on her chest, politely bowed her waist in greeting. Dia, who was not accustomed to such greetings, didn’t know how to respond.
“Yes, um…”
Deborah, who straightened her waist, spoke with a bright smile.
“It’s an honor to meet you.”
A pinkish shyness settled on Dia’s pale face.
“I’m also glad to meet you, Mr. Johnson.”
At that moment, Cedric intervened with a laugh.
“Hehe. In Baker Mansion, Deborah is called Deborah. Will the young lady join us?”
Deborah thought Cedric was trying to ease Dia’s tension with a joke. While Deborah’s thought wasn’t entirely wrong, there was one more reason she didn’t know.
“Hehe. Just call me Deborah.”
“Oh, um…”
Dia, who was shy, spoke while avoiding eye contact. Deborah seized that moment and turned her gaze towards Cedric.
“Since the master is currently away, I cannot convey greetings. May I escort you to your room for now?”
Cedric nodded with a satisfied smile.
At that moment, Dia lifted her head again and spoke.
“A room?”
Deborah smiled brightly.
“Yes, it’s your room. Everything has been prepared with sincerity. I sincerely hope you like it.”
Dia cautiously nodded her head at Deborah, who was waiting for her answer.
Deborah extended her hand with a broad smile.
“If you have any luggage, may I have it? I will carry it for you.”
“Oh, no. I’ll carry it myself.”
Dia, speaking urgently, grabbed the small handbag on the floor. Deborah smiled as if nothing happened, but she was honestly shocked.
‘Is that all? Isn’t it a bag you would carry just for a short drink?’
‘Wasn’t there no need to bring luggage, or was there no luggage to bring?’
Regardless of the truth, Deborah’s duty remained unchanged. To smile quietly so that she wouldn’t feel embarrassed.
Watching Deborah lead Dia upstairs, Cedric thought, ‘It’s natural.’
Whether it was because she had practiced it in her mind countless times or the skill accumulated from her experiences, Deborah took good care of Dia.
‘What should I do about my teeth?’
Dia coming to Baker Mansion was unavoidable. It was necessary to bring her to avoid the disturbance with Mrs. Saint. However, Jen, trying to postpone it as much as possible, was barely moving without even properly seeing the face of the person I like. But Dia found her way here on her own.
‘Our master is easily angered and not one to endure.’
This poor young lady, pushed by her mother’s scheming, had to come here. Still, she shouldn’t be greatly hurt. The question was whether it would be possible.
Cedric, with enough compassion that an ordinary human might have, briefly worried about Dia’s future and then moved on to his tasks.
‘First, I need to find clothes to change into, and I should ask a few maids to assist Miss Deborah.’
As the door opened, Dia widened her already large eyes and stared blankly at the room.
“Is this really my room?”
“Yes, Miss.”
Dia found it hard to believe. She had never dreamed of having such a nice room.
Deborah, noticing Dia’s astonishment, spoke affectionately.
“This is the best room with a great view in this splendid mansion. They also put in new furniture for you.”
“Can I really use such a nice room?”
Dia turned to Deborah and said. Instead of looking grateful, Dia’s expression seemed more anxious, but Deborah could understand Dia’s feelings well.
‘I felt the same way.’
However, Deborah was a maid, and Dia was the legitimate daughter of the Earl and the person next to Zen, the owner of this mansion. Even though it was a relationship based on a contract.
“Of course! If there’s anything else you want, please feel free to tell me.”
When Deborah spoke with a bright smile, she quickly extended her hand to Dia.
“Oh, no, this is enough.”
“Then it’s fortunate, but as you live here, you might find things you need. Small things like potpourri with a refreshing scent, or on a larger scale…”
Deborah wrinkled her brow as if deep in thought, then shrugged and smiled.
“Well, it’s hard for me to imagine big things because my imagination is lacking. Anyway, if something comes to your mind, please pull that rope anytime to find me. If there are no issues, I’ll knock on your door within a minute.”
“A minute?”
Dia said with innocent eyes. Deborah winked, nodding her head.
“Yes. Mr. Baker gave me the room right next to yours so that I can come to you immediately when you need anything, day or night.”
Dia’s eyes, startled by the name Baker, were filled with warm surprise.
“Mr. Baker…”
“Yes. So, Miss, you are my benefactor.”
Suddenly, as if it were a completely absurd statement, Dia blinked her big eyes slowly. It was hard for Deborah to suppress her laughter as Dia desperately tried to explain, sounding as urgent as someone trying to snatch away someone else’s merit. However, Deborah knew how precious this moment was.
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…?
