I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 150
“I didn’t know you liked children.”
Felix gently stroked Reniel’s cheek as he asked casually. He couldn’t help it—he’d never had this kind of conversation with her before.
Back when she’d served as his deputy steward, they’d only ever exchanged trivial matters. After all, he’d never imagined they’d become family.
When Reniel had been a man, it had been difficult for their relationship to go beyond that of servant and master. Though male chamber stewards did exist, of course.
That had been his perspective when he’d believed Reniel was male. He simply hadn’t felt desire or affection toward any other woman or man anyway.
But now, knowing Reniel could truly become his proper family, everything about her felt precious—strange yet deeply meaningful.
“I do like children. That’s why I used to visit the orphanage every time I had a holiday.”
“Are there many children at the orphanage?”
“There are very young ones, and also older children.”
Reniel smiled at Felix as if recalling a happy memory. It wasn’t a genuine smile, but she’d grown skilled enough at pretending.
Though she felt guilty toward the child in her womb, part of her also thought it was fortunate the child was Felix’s—making the feeling oddly unsettling.
The Felix before her was an exceptionally brilliant person. He was the strongest person she knew.
Not because of his supernatural ability—he was truly strong by nature. Even if supernatural powers faded completely from their world and no one could use them anymore, no one would ever surpass Felix.
He relentlessly trained as a warrior solely to conceal his mental supernatural ability.
She secretly hoped the son she’d seen in her dream—whose appearance resembled her own—would inherit Felix’s character more than hers.
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.
