Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
“Is that really true?”
“Yes, I’m planning to go submit the divorce papers tomorrow.”
Ah! Lirien covered her mouth with her hand, beaming with delight. She looked nothing like the person who had been gloomy just moments ago over her favorite gardener’s puppy causing trouble in the flowerbed.
Taken aback by her somewhat exuberant reaction—while I was calmly sipping my tea—I was momentarily flustered, but quickly mirrored her smile.
Lirien pulled the maid standing beside her into a tight embrace and started hopping in place. Caught off guard by the sudden hug assault, the maid swayed helplessly, her face flushed with bewilderment. Lirien’s expression, so pure it verged on boldness, seemed to rejoice on my behalf as well, giving me a sense of vicarious satisfaction.
“Thank you for being so genuinely happy for me as if it were your own affair.”
Lirien sat back down opposite me, her spirits visibly lifted.
“Of course! It’s Lady Etricia’s matter after all…!”
She murmured to herself, cupping her flushed cheeks. “I should tell Edmund too.”
“Duke Mipidian helped me greatly.”
“Really? Edmund never mentioned anything like that to me…”
Lirien lowered her wide-open eyes. Her lips jutted out in a pout.
“I would’ve helped too, if only he’d told me.”
But Edmund couldn’t have asked her. How could he possibly request assistance with matters like surveillance and intelligence gathering—things that would surely knock her off her feet if she knew?
I reached out and gently patted Lirien’s hand resting beside her teacup.
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…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!

But why did he look so composed? He’d normally be flustered by now. Had he even
Edmund is very innocent, even a direct question does not make him think deviant thoughts.
“Huh… what am I going to do, Runox….”
Is Runox the same as the monster? A strong possibility.
Could she have found out about *that*, and that’s why she’s avoiding me? I force
Etricia knew the reason quickly; she’s smart. Sadly, Lerin knew the truth, but that was better than avoiding it.
