I Became the First Love of the Impenetrable Male Lead - Chapter 62
“Lady Rosebelia!”
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw Daisy waving at me. Daisy ran to me in one breath and thrust her face close before I could even speak.
“Lady Daisy?”
“You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?”
“No. As you can see, I’ve returned in one piece.”
“I believed you would, but still…”
Daisy stepped back and her eyes moved busily. She seemed to be carefully examining me from head to toe, then suddenly started to pout.
Why does she look like she’s about to cry?
“Ah, come to think of it, I should have thanked you right away.”
When I changed the subject, Daisy blinked slowly.
“Pardon? What…”
“I mean the cranberries you sent through the vice-captain. I ate them deliciously during the subjugation.”
“Really?”
Daisy’s face quickly lit up. I nodded and replied.
“I ate them so quickly that I was disappointed when they were gone.”
“I should have packed more generously. There are many delicious things inside, would you like to come in?”
I was tempted by the delicious food I had been served while staying at the duke’s residence, but I had a lunch appointment with Ian later.
“How about taking a walk with me?”
It was the tail end of autumn, but the sun was nice for a change. I gestured towards the wide grounds of the duke’s residence and asked, and Daisy promptly nodded.
“That sounds good too!”
“…How are you feeling?”
“It’s been effective, just as you said, Lady Rosebelia.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I tried to walk even a little, and took walks in the sunlight. Then my appetite improved and I felt more energetic.”
Daisy stopped in her tracks and showed me her tightly clenched fist. She seemed to be trying to show that she had gained more strength than before.
I think this is the first time I’ve seen her look so energetic.
“How about the dizziness?”
“It was fine for a while, but I felt a little dizzy recently…”
The dizziness should be gradually decreasing, but she felt dizzy again?
“Did you feel dizzy while your heart was beating fast?”
“No, that’s not it…”
Daisy trailed off and rolled her eyes. She moved her lips as if debating whether to speak or not.
“Did something happen?”
“No, I just had trouble sleeping for a few days, but I’m fine now.”
“You need to sleep well too. That will help your stamina improve more.”
Daisy, who was looking at me with sparkling eyes, nodded slightly. The important thing for Daisy was to manage her condition well so that it wouldn’t get worse than it is now.
For that, consistent exercise and management should go hand in hand.
“How was your practice with Edwin? Was it difficult?”
“Ah, that… practice?”
What’s with this reaction?
If I’m not mistaken, she seemed flustered as soon as I mentioned Edwin’s name.
“Did Edwin perhaps make a mistake with you, Lady Daisy?”
“He, he didn’t make any mistakes. It’s just…”
“It’s alright, please tell me.”
Daisy seemed to glance at me cautiously before carefully speaking.
“Edwin said something a bit strange to me.”
“Something strange?”
I tried to act nonchalant, but I could feel my lips trembling slightly.
After I went through the trouble of arranging for them to meet, he said something strange to Daisy?
“…He told me I was brave, beautiful, and lovely.”
Huh? That’s not strange, it’s true.
“That’s…”
I was about to defend Edwin, saying it wasn’t strange, when I paused and looked at Daisy.
The fact that Edwin said such things to Daisy…
Does it mean he already confessed?
“So I thought it was a confession, but I guess it wasn’t.”
Huh? What does this mean now?
My view was filled with Daisy’s dejected face. As I carefully observed her reaction, I tilted my head.
Saying she thought it was a confession but was disappointed that it wasn’t…
“How do you feel about Edwin, Lady Daisy?”
“Pardon?”
Her purple eyes rippled slightly as if it was an unexpected question.
“I think your feelings are more important.”
“…I’m not sure either.”
“If Edwin properly confesses, would you accept?”
Daisy’s eyelashes fluttered like waves. After seeming to ponder for a moment, she looked around and then gestured to me.
As I leaned in slightly, I heard a small whisper.
“It depends on how he does it.”

“Young lady, where in the square should I drop you off?”
“Drop me off right there in front. I’ll manage on my own when I return.”
“Yes, understood.”
After getting off the carriage, I headed straight for the clock tower. I hurried my steps, thinking idly that there were unusually many people in the square today.
As I turned the corner out of the alley, I saw the clock tower in the center of the square. There was no need to go through the trouble of finding where Ian was.
A man standing tall among the people immediately caught my eye.
“Klein.”
Ian’s eyes curved gently as he spotted me just then.
“You’ve arrived.”
Ian was dressed in a comfortable shirt. It wasn’t the first time I’d seen him in casual clothes, but for some reason, an awkward feeling washed over me.
Is it because this is the first time we’re meeting like this, by appointment outside?
“Um… Is it not difficult?”
“Pardon?”
Ian blinked and asked back.
“Since there are many people, I thought it might be noisier.”
“It is noisy, but when I hear people’s inner thoughts constantly, I don’t hear auditory hallucinations as much, so it can be better at times.”
Ian tried to pull up the corners of his mouth. As I quietly looked up at Ian wearing a gentle smile, I grabbed his arm.
“Are you alright now?”
Instead of answering, Ian nodded and showed a softer smile. He looked around for a moment, then gazed intently at one place.
“There’s a restaurant Nathan recommended. I was thinking of going there, what do you think?”
“Sounds good. Where do we need to go?”
“It’s right over there.”
Just as Ian pointed to an alley, there was a sudden surge in the crowd, causing me to lose hold of his arm.
“Klein?”
“I’m right here.”
A hand suddenly approached and grabbed my arm.
“Are you okay?”
“…It seems a bit difficult.”
“It’s fine, you can hold on as much as you need.”
“With so many people passing by, how about we do this instead?”
His large hand slid down and gently grasped my wrist. Ian’s hand, which I thought would stop there, seemed to move down a bit more before carefully grasping my hand.
“Holding hands here is a bit…”
As I raised my gaze, I saw Ian with drooping eyebrows. He was even holding his head as if feeling dizzy.
It seems like he’s acting right now?
As I looked at him with narrowed eyes, Ian explained as if making an excuse.
“My head suddenly feels dizzy because there are so many people. If I lose you here, I think it will really be difficult.”
“How exactly is your head dizzy?”
“When I hear too many sounds, my ears feel muffled and sometimes dizziness comes over me.”
It does seem possible…
As I tilted my head, Ian’s voice lowered again.
“Come to think of it, you also helped me when I came to the square on an errand for the captain.”
“Saying I helped you sounds a bit grand, it was just a small assistance?”
“It was a big help to me.”
“But doesn’t that feel like it was a long time ago?”
As we walked while chatting, we soon arrived in front of the restaurant Ian mentioned. Despite it being lunchtime, when the restaurant should have been bustling with people, it was quiet.
“This seems to be the place Nathan mentioned…”
“Look at that. It says they’re closed today due to personal reasons?”
As I pointed to the sign hanging on the restaurant door, Ian touched his forehead as if troubled.
“We’ll have to go somewhere else then.”
“Then shall we go buy your gift first? The shop I was planning to go to is nearby.”
“Are you really going to buy me something?”
“Of course. I told you I’d give you a gift, didn’t I?”
Since Ian had helped me quite a lot, I thought to properly repay him this time.
“I’m fine. Having a meal with you is enough, senior.”
“There’s something I really want to give you.”
The place I led Ian to was a shop with a famous jewelry designer in the square.
Named Jewel House, it was a jewelry store that Daisy frequently visited in the original work.
“This is…”
Ian seemed to hesitate as he faced the lavish entrance. I nodded towards Ian, who was looking at me as if asking if this was the right place, and immediately entered.
“Welcome.”
“I’m looking for a brooch to give to this gentleman.”
“A brooch? The price range is quite varied…”
“The price doesn’t matter. Show me the highest quality.”
“Just a moment, customer. We received some very nice items yesterday. Please wait a moment.”
While waiting for the owner who had briefly left to return, I was looking around the interior of the shop. All the displayed jewelry was so splendid that it naturally caught my eye.
I can see why Daisy liked this place.
It was then that the tightly closed shop door opened. At the end of my gaze that had drifted…
“Mother.”
“Rose?”
There stood Olivia, dressed more lavishly than usual.
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…?
