I Ended Up Living Next Door to My Ex-Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 99
Meanwhile, Cedric was spending his time reading a book in the study.
After a long while, he rubbed his stiffened neck and leaned back lazily into the sofa.
The hour and minute hands of the grandfather clock pointed precisely at 10 and 6.
‘It’s about time I head out.’
In truth, Rebecca had only asked him to wait a little while before leaving; it was Cedric’s own choice to linger longer in the study.
Unlike Rebecca, Cedric disliked mingling with large groups of people.
No—rather, if everyone involved happened to be merely “human,” he might even have despised it.
Back when Rebecca was a party enthusiast, his distaste had been far stronger than it was now.
Yet banquets were held frequently, and Rebecca always wanted Cedric to attend each one.
On nights he happened to skip, she’d routinely vent her frustrations on the servants until dawn.
Thus, Cedric gradually withdrew further from banquets, and that vicious cycle continued endlessly.
But how was it now?
Though it was tiresome even to say aloud, this matter too had changed drastically from the past.
‘Though Rebecca herself, who has changed more than anyone else, seems not to care at all.’
Cedric smiled, his eyes curving attractively as he smoothed his eyebrows with long fingers.
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
Aha! So Cedric didn’t see Camilla putting poison in the glass.
She actually knows there are a lot of people who want to kill her, so it’s okay Cedric, she won’t be shocked.
Do what you want to comfort her, but don’t even think about associating her with Cedric.
