Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 68
The bell jingled as I stepped into the café, waved off the trailing server with a vague gesture asking for “anything,” and headed straight for an outdoor terrace seat.
I chose a spot hidden behind the wide-open double-hinged window, clearly meant to be conspicuous. Thanks to that, I could overhear their conversation on the terrace.
“Please, Lady Lirien.”
It was Berita’s voice.
‘Please?’
I narrowed my eyes slightly and unfolded my fan.
Leaning sideways to hear better and perking up my ears, I caught a clear view of Berita’s sunlit face. Only Lirien’s profile was faintly visible.
Meanwhile, the server who brought my ordered tea set it down on the table and eyed me suspiciously, his pupils trembling.
I dismissed him with a faint, polite smile and turned my attention back to their voices.
“…How did you find out I attend that workshop?”
Lirien asked in a shaky voice, clearly nervous.
Apparently, Berita had simply waited stubbornly outside the workshop until this meeting happened.
Berita glanced cautiously at Lirien, then fidgeted with her hands on the table.
“It’s well known among the upper class that Your Highness attends a pastry workshop. Everyone says it’s quite unusual for a princess to do something like that—.”
Berita clapped a hand over her mouth, realizing her slip. She stole another glance at Lirien. Again, she innocently poked at someone’s heart. Yet Lirien, recognizing there was no malice—only naivety—relaxed her stiff expression and let out a forlorn sigh.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
