When he faced Grace again, he intended to make her realize it wouldn’t be easy to leave his side.
But he couldn’t approach her rashly, pained by her sorrow.
‘It’s really difficult.’
Watching a woman cry, especially the tears of a woman he liked, was hard to bear.
He sat next to Grace and watched her for a while.
Leah didn’t believe in God. But at this moment, she wished for someone to show her the way.
She lifted her head and looked at the cross.
Then, she felt the gaze of someone sitting next to her and immediately turned her head.
“Terrun!”
How did he know she was in the church?
Leah looked at him with a surprised face, and Terrun gazed back intently.
Seeing Grace crying, he didn’t intend to leave her alone, but her tear-soaked face was as pure as a rain-drenched wildflower.
Her crying face was so radiant it painfully stirred people’s hearts.
Suddenly, Terrun’s reason snapped. His hand reached for Grace’s face and their lips met.
“!?”
Leah was shocked and struggled to get away from Terrun.
The more she resisted his kiss, the less she could move, as if trapped.
Instead, she unknowingly gave in and slowly closed her eyes to the warmth of his lips.
His kiss felt warm and comforting, offering a great sense of relief in her total despair.
As their lips softly intertwined, Grace’s tears seeped in.
When she slightly opened her mouth, a fiery passion surged. It was a passionate and poignant kiss.
His hand caressed Grace’s lush golden hair, and she placed her hands on Terrun’s broad shoulders.
Then, Terrun pulled her body closer to ensure she couldn’t drift away from him.
After the sudden kiss ended, both of them closed their eyes, quietly feeling the lingering effects of the kiss.
Then, Leah spoke first.
“I don’t like being forced like this.”
“I’m sorry if it was unpleasant. I just wanted to comfort Grace.”
“That’s…!”
Leah regretted it. She was too tired and weak, and ended up leaning on him.
“How did you know I was here?”
“Isn’t it obvious that the Duke would know the situation in Levon City?”
Terrun evaded giving a precise answer.
‘You trying to leave my side, Grace, that’s impossible.’
“I see.”
Terrun extended his hand to the fragile Grace, who looked as though she could collapse at any moment. He wasn’t going to tell her the truth about today.
“We should go back.”
“But I… to Terrun…”
She had requested a breakup and declared she would leave. Was he acting as if nothing had happened?
“That was Grace’s unilateral request, I never agreed to the breakup.”
“When I said I would leave, you told me to go ahead.”
“You didn’t leave, did you?”
“There was a reason.”
“Grace, it seems we have serious matters to discuss, don’t we?”
“I don’t deserve to be Terrun’s fiancée.”
That was the truth. Terrun knew nothing about the tremendous things that happened to her.
“Let me ask the opposite. Do I deserve to be Grace’s fiancé? Of course, I do.”
He didn’t leave any room for her to answer. At that moment, Leah’s eyes sparkled. A man who asks a question and answers it himself.
When she requested a breakup, he had been surprisingly calm and even provided a carriage to the train station.
It all seemed too smooth, almost orchestrated. But it was too coincidental to be mere happenstance.
The train didn’t come, and Levon City was blockaded. It was as if someone was trying to prevent them from leaving, like a farmer trapping sheep.
If today’s events were part of someone’s meticulous plan, it had to be someone with significant influence.
Someone like Terrun Kurtua, the first Duke of Lubeck.
Did he also stop all the trains and carriages today?
He raised the issue, but the answer was already determined. Terrun took Grace’s hand and left the church to get into the carriage.
“Did you do that, Terrun? Stopping the train and blockading Levon City?”
“Yes.”
“Unbelievable!”
At the time, she couldn’t even imagine such a thing. The fact that he stopped the entire city to hold her back was astonishing.
She finally realized that she was just a small bird trapped in Terrun’s cage.
“Why would you go to such lengths?”
“Because your heart was wrong.”
“What?”
“Haven’t you realized it yourself? That your will and methods were all wrong.”
Leah held her breath for a moment. Terrun spoke as if he could see right through her.
His words erased what little pride she had left.
“If you were so desperate to leave, you should have come back to me for help. Having the leisure to uphold your pride means you weren’t desperate.”
Terrun’s words were neither completely right nor wrong.
If she had a will to put a bullet in Allen’s head, she should have asked for help from Terrun, not the church, insisting on going to Galdencia.
However, she first felt doubts about her own plans.
Terrun didn’t understand that it’s not easy for humans to act so simply.
“Whatever you dream and act upon, it all has to happen within my reach.”
Terrun spoke sternly, almost like a warning, and said no more.
Leah did not ask anything else until the carriage arrived at the duke’s house.
Finally, when the carriage stopped in front of the main building, Terrun looked at Grace with a significantly changed expression.
His hand cradled her face.
“I will grant whatever you wish. No, I can even be your strength. But you must remember one thing.”
“What is it?”
“I will not break off my engagement with Grace Bizak. No, we will get married soon. And….”
“!?”
“There should only be me in your heart, no other man.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
