Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 115
His body, which had been sinking endlessly, slowly began to move forward. Once he knew the direction—where he needed to go—the rest wasn’t so difficult. All he had to do was press on in silence.
Windsor swam skillfully like a whale. Finally, he burst through the water’s surface and took a deep, forceful breath of air.
―Haah… haah…
His shrunken lungs expanded, and clarity gradually returned to his foggy mind. Only after raking his hands across his face did he finally open his eyes.
The pouring sunlight was blindingly bright.
He couldn’t understand why the memory of that day suddenly resurfaced—something he had completely forgotten until just moments ago.
Yet Windsor remained bound by Jacqueline’s gaze, unable even to turn his head. It was dizzying. He felt as though he were sinking endlessly again, just as he had beneath the water’s surface.
Where would this descent end?
Just as he began to drift into vague imaginings—that perhaps he’d never escape this drowning—a thought interrupted him.
Jacqueline spoke first. Her voice, slipping past her lips, was bitter and black as coal.
“It’s my fault….”
Windsor said nothing. He knew he lacked the talent to comfort Jacqueline, and he understood that staying silent was better in moments like this.
At the very least, he was confident he could listen attentively to her voice. No matter how long Jacqueline rambled on, Windsor resolved to catch every single word of her story without missing a syllable.
“It’s not Benjamin’s fault. It’s mine.”
Jacqueline’s eyes trembled violently. Only then did Windsor faintly furrow his brow. Suddenly, Jacqueline let out a self-mocking laugh.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”

“Shall I fall to the ground just as Lord Preston wishes? Roll miserably in filth
Hurtful words. I used to think that when people give in to their emotions, they start speaking the truth – but so far, she’s just been dancing around it
It took her a while to even realize this was a kiss.
AHHH!! Finally, their first kiss. Hopefully, they will start to be more honest with each other.
It took her a while to even realize this was a kiss.

I love how passionate and emotionally driven both of them are in this chapter 😭😭😭

I must say, some chapters back, I complained that the author were unnecessarily sensual in their description of Windsor desire (considering this is not an NSFW work). But, now I’m more glad than ever lmaoo
