The tone was unpleasant, but whether the woman agreed with the man’s words or not, she raised herself from him and sat side by side on the sofa. Her pale, exposed shoulders kept twitching, as if her excitement had not yet subsided.
“Did the meeting go well?”
“……”
“What is it, do you like it?”
“……Yes, I was pleased.”
“What kind of answer is that?”
“The result won’t be different since we’ve decided to send a proposal as soon as the title of Earl is granted. You know better than anyone how much Ines likes me.”
Listening to their conversation, Carson thought that these three people might have more than just an affair.
He unknowingly put strength into his hand, which covered Ines’s eyes. A strange regret came to him that he should have covered her ears, not her eyes.
Then she tapped his hand and comforted him as if trying to put a very angry child to sleep.
As Carson naturally lowered his hand from her, Ines clung closer to him.
He was surprised and stiffened, but she was very natural, despite his tension.
On the other hand, Ines listened to the two people’s conversation, hoping and hoping again for something that could be a clue. Moreover, she had her safety behind her, backing her firmly, so there was nothing more to wish for.
Like a tense believer diving into the merciful embrace of a god in an uncertain situation where nothing could be known even an inch ahead, Ines unknowingly kept pressing her body against him.
“Well, you can’t oppose it now. Come to think of it, that woman is subtly smart. Her face looked quite ordinary today, so I understand why you care for her. Is that why you nailed such a proposal?”
“…….”
“But it got a little complicated?”
“Complicated how?”
Joseph’s voice, which had shown no particular signs of concern, rang out a little hurriedly.
“You heard earlier. The Swellenden family won’t look after Lesonia anymore.”
“What does that have to do with our affairs?”
“I don’t know that either, my father’s business is always complicated.”
“Where is the Earl now?”
“He must be in the carriage to the capital.”
“He’s going to the royal palace?”
“Yes. He said it will take some time to come and go, so you should hurry the marriage as soon as your title issue is resolved.”
“But the fact that our married life must last at least six months remains unchanged, right?”
At his words, the woman burst into laughter.
“Just pounce on her right now. What are you waiting for if you’re so impatient?”
“I can’t even meet her, how can I, and lately, the guard seems stricter……. ”
“She hasn’t noticed anything, has she?”
“She’s not the kind of woman who could.”
Joseph’s words left Ines in disbelief, but what he said was indeed true. At that time, Ines really knew nothing.
“Father did look quite desperate, but nothing much will change. Isn’t it easier to plot if Swellen is part of Lesonia?”
“…….”
“According to Father, Prince Carson can smell money incredibly well. That’s why there’s an urgency.”
“Smell of money?”
“I don’t know the details. But one thing is for sure. The one who will enjoy this the most is you. As a mere commoner, you became a knight of the Earl’s house, and even got to have the body of the Earl’s daughter so casually.”
“I’m not sure if we can be this leisurely right now.”
“Don’t worry, Randhill will soon be integrated into Lesonia, anyway.”
“But it’s not certain, is it?”
“You don’t trust our family now?”
When the woman asked sharply, Joseph’s mouth shut. But his voice soon softened.
“Just think about the good things. Wait a little, and soon you’ll be able to touch that pretty lady’s body all over with this hand.”
At those words, Joseph could not bear it and let out a breaking moan.
“Getting a Viscount title without doing anything, soon you will be a Baron.”
She spat out harshly, and Graham’s Highness rubbed his body in anger.
“If you had just stayed still earlier, everything would have been over by now. No one has come so far, who would come?”
“But I don’t feel like it now.”
“You want me to match your mood?”
At the woman’s scolding, Joseph slowly began to move his body.
Carson found the situation that followed hard to endure in various ways. The filthy scene that unfolded before his eyes was enough to spoil his mood.
What about this innocent woman who totally relied on his body? The profile of the woman he stole a glance at seemed like she was watching a passionate opera.
“Joseph, are you nervous?”
“No.”
At the ensuing unpleasant noise, Carson, who had only his hands free, had no choice but to cover her ears. Ines seemed to leave everything to him obediently. Of course, just covering her ears wouldn’t completely block the conversation between the two.
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…?
