Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 71
‘Geez… You startled me….’
How long had it been? Thump-thump. My wildly racing pulse pounded in my ears.
I never imagined Edmund would willingly close the distance between us—and even brush my hair aside with his own hands.
I stole a sidelong glance at Edmund.
Beyond a few strands of hair fluttering like crimson threads, Edmund’s expression remained utterly blank.
‘This type is the most dangerous.’
The kind who, without even realizing it, effortlessly ensnares others with casual, thoughtless gestures.
His demeanor had changed so noticeably—simply because our relationship had shifted to one of mutual trust.
Though his gaze before, and even now, would’ve given any other woman cause for misunderstanding, I knew clearly this stemmed from kindness, not affection.
Masking my fluster with feigned composure, I offered a gentle smile.
“Where was I again?”
“You were speaking about estate management and business affairs.”
“Oh, right. That’s right. It seems I’ll need to visit the Bueil family’s territory in two days for that matter. Since I’m indebted to them, I ought to let them know I’ll be away.”
“In that case, I’ll assign you a knight.”
A knight? I hesitated for a moment.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
