Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
“What… did you say you wanted to do?”
His thoughts seemed to slow. With intense eyes, he murmured softly.
“I want what you described—the love so strong it makes us abandon duty and values. That’s what I want.”
“…I already told you. In the end, it’ll all fall apart.”
“Whatever the end may be… I want it—with you.”
His words became hazy, muffled by the tense air surrounding us.
My fleeting suspicion—that he might be confusing lust with affection—vanished absurdly fast.
Everything about him was different now from before: his gaze, his voice, even the way he addressed me. A sticky emotion clung to my corneas, eardrums, and skin.
His slightly anxious, contorted expression seemed both flustered by first love and deliberately teasing—a reckless boldness born of someone who’d never been hurt by love, thus knew no hesitation.
“Etricia.”
His voice, dripping with raw desire, pierced my eardrums. Just as I finally gathered my wits, Edmund gave me no time to respond.
“Can I not become your ocean?”
“That’s….”
I couldn’t possibly say it now—that what I’d once offhandedly described as my ideal was precisely this moment.
I met his eyes, blazing with hunger that threatened to devour me whole, ensnared by that sensual gaze.
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!
