I Have A Terminally Ill Duke As My Husband (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 87
“Hmm. So she thought the Duke was dead and left the ducal household, abandoning everything she had? And then she met a woman named Zelda, went to a village called Phenomenon, and opened a sandwich shop to run a business? Can a noble’s daughter really do that? Every noble daughter I’ve seen since coming to the Empire carefully holds her teacup as if it were too heavy and pretends to be delicate!”
“She was indeed a noble’s daughter, but from a fallen family, so she wasn’t wealthy. Also, though I don’t know the full story, I heard she severed ties with even her own viscount family.”
“Really? Then why did she come back so late? As far as I know, the Duke went so far as to threaten Harmon just to get a vacation to fetch his wife.”
“It seems she couldn’t easily forgive him for faking his death and deceiving her.”
Just over something like that?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if a husband you thought dead came back to life?
Especially since her terminally ill husband returned perfectly healthy, and if she followed the Duke, she wouldn’t have to struggle with running a shop anymore.
Patricia tilted her head in confusion, clearly unable to understand Lara’s explanation.
“Why wouldn’t she forgive him? According to what you said, she had nothing left, yet the Duke searched the entire Empire for her. If it were me, I’d be overjoyed knowing he looked for me even after his curse was lifted, and I’d return with him immediately. Could she be stupid? Or maybe she’s the type who says, ‘Money isn’t important to me’?”
“People value different things. Perhaps to the Duchess, marital trust mattered more than money or honor. Also, since their contract was temporary anyway, she might have thought there was no need to stay in the ducal household any longer.”
“What a strange girl. So how did the Duke earn her forgiveness? Wait—did he even get forgiven? Did he maybe kidnap her? Or threaten her?”
Patricia muttered, unable to picture Luan begging his wife for forgiveness.
“He reportedly worked as a shop assistant in the Duchess’s sandwich shop.”
“What? Seriously? As a shop assistant? You mean that arrogant Duke, who would rather die than bow to anyone, worked humbly serving commoners in his wife’s shop?”
“No, serving Her Highness doesn’t mean he was bowing obsequiously. Please stop reading those weird novels.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
