I Held the Leash of a Blind Beast (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 46
“Are you hiding something from me?”
Elicia revealed her emotions without restraint in front of him. Perhaps it was because she believed he couldn’t see.
Normally, people wear masks to some degree in front of others. Isn’t it essential to maintain propriety and decorum for the sake of keeping appropriate boundaries in human relationships?
Since Illeon was acting like a blind man again, just as before, Elicia had no reason to put on pretenses in front of him.
Every natural movement of the woman he had so longed for, every ordinary gesture. Even the trivial habits and mannerisms he’d wished to witness firsthand—he watched them all with his eyes and felt utterly satisfied.
What expression are you making right now? How does your face look?
The memory of having to ask her directly and then wait tediously just to know the slightest nuance of the woman he cherished now felt distant. Nothing could be more joyful than being able to see without having to ask.
So much so that even the fact he’d deceitfully tricked Elicia just to keep her close to him was momentarily forgotten.
“Has something like this happened before?”
Right now, Elicia’s words and actions were at odds. What she conveyed through her voice differed from what her expression revealed. The realization that she was weaving excuses while doing something else entirely—seeing it so starkly, without any mental preparation—made his heart flutter uneasily.
He’d always desperately wished to see Elicia with his own eyes, yet he never imagined the woman he finally met in person would leave him full of doubt.
Their steps, once walking in gentle harmony, slowed. Elicia turned to look back at him and asked,
“Lord Illeon. Are you all right?”
“…Yeah.”
At his delayed reply, Elicia studied him. What was truly absurd was that the moment he saw her eyes fixed solely on him, whatever had been weighing on his mind simply vanished.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
Now she should know just how Illeon must have felt 🤧
