I Killed My Husband (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 3
Am I the type who gets bored easily, Skylar?
Carlos, seated at one side of Skylar’s study, murmured seriously.
Gregory and Leopold are indeed old friends, but I could never be entirely frank with them. I had to maintain the dignity befitting an Emperor.
So whenever I found myself becoming overwhelmingly, unmanageably restless—even to my own eyes—I naturally turned to Skylar every time.
After all, even I couldn’t find my current state remotely impressive.
“Have you realized that now?”
Skylar, without a word, scribbled furiously across a massive parchment.
“You say you’re in pain to avoid me… and push me away… am I really that boring?”
He wasn’t even sure if it was a lie or not. Ever since Leopold heard his words, it had weighed on his mind. And even more so since she withdrew her hand at mealtimes.
That was why he had asked—but Skylar, utterly absorbed in the parchment, lifted her head for a moment.
“Could it be… that Her Imperial Majesty Empress Mercedes is pretending to be unwell to avoid you?”
“…I’m not certain—.”
“Puhahaha! I knew it! No matter how close you are, no woman could possibly remain unmoved when chased so persistently? Hahahaha!”
Skylar clutched her belly and laughed uproariously, clearly delighted.
Carlos pressed his temple, watching her. He found himself reflecting deeply on his life, realizing that his one and only true friend—someone he could unburden his soul to—had such a peculiar personality.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
