He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 162
Despite Adrian’s instructions, Laila’s mind had already gone stiff, and she couldn’t even recall what “natural” really meant.
She also wondered—if she happened to lock eyes with Isabella again, or kept avoiding her altogether, wouldn’t both options seem unnatural? Torn by this dilemma, Adrian gave her a bit of relief with his words.
“You can lift your head. Isabella’s looking somewhere else.”
“Oh.”
Only then did Laila finally raise her gaze. Thankfully, as Adrian had said, their eyes no longer met.
Still, there was one noticeable detail—Adrian noticed it too and pointed it out to Laila.
“The woman sitting right behind Isabella is the same one from earlier.”
“You don’t know who she is either?”
“All I know are details centered around names. I haven’t stayed long in this country, and when I studied here before, I rarely had any dealings with the royal family. She looks unfamiliar to me too.”
“So it seems you never exchanged introductions with her husband.”
“It feels like they deliberately kept it hidden.”
Laila nodded in understanding. She’d already sensed that strange feeling—someone deliberately concealing their identity.
Still, seeing that woman seated directly behind Isabella made it likely she was indeed Isabella’s ally, just as Laila had suspected.
‘Should I speak up well?’
Rather than promoting herself, if she suggested that the Count held valuable information worth investigating, Isabella might summon her willingly.
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.
