He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 43
But this man wasn’t the one meant to interrogate her. Laila didn’t give him an answer; instead, she countered his question.
“Yet, aren’t Your Highness doing the same—taking me away as your slave?”
“Laila.”
His voice, laced with irritation—as if to say her defiance was childish—called out her name. Calmly, Laila replied,
“Either way, it was only a matter of being caught sooner or later.”
Adrian let out a hollow laugh—“Ha.”
“So you gave up like that. Could it be because of your youngest brother, held captive by Isabella Fitzroy?”
“……”
As expected, he’d perfectly discerned Laila’s intention behind offering herself to Fitzroy.
When Laila offered no confirmation, Adrian gave a knowing look.
“Seems I’m right. Yes, I remember—just how much you cherished that child.”
“Will you truly rescue Cedric?”
When Laila mentioned the third condition of their deal—the one she’d heard when boarding Fitzroy’s ship—Adrian pulled her away from his embrace.
Relieved, Laila stepped back, deliberately creating distance between them. Adrian, however, began to sneer.
“Now that I’m wearing the guise of Adrian Rains, are you finally starting to trust me? Had I known it’d come to this, I should’ve given you a heads-up back in Pilmer too.”

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
