He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 137
“But Isabella Fitzroy still keeping Count Orson by her side?”
Laila voiced the question that had automatically popped into her mind. It was a natural thing to ask.
After all, she was fully aware that the man’s son had died because of her, yet she continued to employ him under her command.
This carried two implications: perhaps she truly needed him—but it also meant she held Count Orson in utter contempt.
It was a contradictory act—to keep him close while simultaneously ignoring him.
Adrian gave a quiet chuckle and asked in return,
“Ironic, isn’t it?”
“…I’d already noticed there didn’t seem to be any children in the mansion.”
“Right. The Orson family no longer has a legitimate heir. Isabella might trust him even more because of that…”
Adrian left the rest unsaid, but Laila could easily guess what he’d intended to add.
Precisely because he had no one left to protect, he could freely walk the path of a traitor without burden.
Until now, Laila had been deeply puzzled as to why Count Orson harbored such hatred—enough to bring down an entire nation—but now that question felt far clearer.
Laila murmured,
“But judging by how cautious she’s become, it seems even that tactic is losing its effectiveness.”
“Probably so.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
