Noah fell into thought for a moment. Indeed, a young Earl and unmarried master sending a dress to a woman of marriageable age from his domain was like throwing good fodder to the gossips. It could easily become a dirty scandal for the woman.
“It’s fine if you clarify the meaning when you send it.”
“Meaning?”
“Didn’t you save Lady Louisiana’s life?”
“Ah.”
“That’s why you’re sending it, isn’t it?”
Carson nodded his head after a moment of silence.
“Yes. Right.”
“Then send jewelry with the dress.”
“Send, you say……”
“So that it will more clearly appear as a gift.”
He bowed his head again to look at the documents.
“Not bad.”
“Understood.”
Noah quickly moved to carry out his order, feeling successful with his first piece of advice. As he was almost at the door, Carson’s voice rang out from behind.
“Green.”
“Yes?”
“The dress. And the jewelry as well, something green but not too vivid.”
Noah was momentarily speechless but soon agreed. He thought that the personality of his master could perhaps be more delicate.
“And a necklace would be nice.”
“Should it also be green?”
“Yes.”
After Noah left, Carson fell into thought. Green, even though he had never seen Ines Swelden in a green dress. Even to himself, it seemed an unusually detailed order, blurted out impulsively.
He shook his head to clear his thoughts and began to think about making money again.
(This is a time separator.)
On the day of the welcoming party for the new Lord of Landhill, Ines was deeply contemplating with two dresses before her.
One was a dress of a color similar to her green eyes, and the other was a skyblue dress with a black ribbon for accent.
The green dress was a design never before seen in Landhill. The fashion of party dresses in the capital had changed a lot; it was an elegant dress with light fabric, without tawdry decorations. The dress, with its subtle pearlescent glow, emanated a strangely glamorous atmosphere.
“You have to choose quickly.”
Susan had been rolling her feet impatiently, gazing at her young mistress who was only looking at the green dress with mournful eyes. The dress had to be decided so that jewelry and makeup could be determined, but Ines did not decide on the dress until the time for the party was almost upon them.
“Miss.”
“Yes.”
“Come on. I think you should wear the green dress. How well does it match the color of your eyes? Since the color is the same, your face will look much brighter.”
I know, I know. But it’s such a pity.
Ines returned home, and after ten days had passed, the people from the capital’s dressmaker invaded the Swalden mansion. They had received a notice from Count Raymond’s mansion the day before, but the number of people who actually came was much more than they thought.
The head of the dressmaker harassed Ines all day, then left her with the difficult decision of choosing one out of three designs for a dress.
After much consideration, she handed that decision over to Carson Raymond. It was a polite request, partly thinking that there was no way he would personally choose her dress.
About two weeks later, the finished dress was actually delivered to her home.
Ines repeatedly asked the head of the dressmaker if the design of this dress was personally chosen by Count Carson Raymond.
The answer that kept coming back was yes.
It was clear that it was sent for the ball happening that night, but Ines had difficulty putting on the dress right away.
But she couldn’t crumple it any more, as Susan had said.
“Okay, I’ve made up my mind.”
Ines decisively pointed to the dress she wanted to wear and declared to Susan. Susan then heaved a sigh of relief and hurried out of the room to prepare other things.
Ines looked around her room anew.
During the past time she’d endured, she couldn’t attend this ball. No, she couldn’t even go outside. She just slumped in this room, crying all day.
It was because her father, who had found out about Joseph’s proposal, did not allow Ines to step outside the room.
And there was a truth that she soon realized. It was that Susan had confessed to her father that Ines had received a proposal back then.
This time, too, Ines had received a proposal, and the only person who knew that fact was still Susan. But Susan did not tell her father about it because of Ines’s changed attitude.
Ines approached the green dress and gently touched it. Just touching the dress made her feel calmer as if it were a lie. She had been sleepless for three days at the thought of seeing him again.
She was also curious about Carson. What happened to Lena Marier, who Jason was.
When she thought of him and devoutly devoted her heart to him, only then did she feel a little atonement for her sins.
It had been exactly a month. Since she saw him again.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
