Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 122
“Yes. He’s my godfather, after all. He’s cherished me since I was little—helped me whenever I was struggling. When everyone else turned their backs on me, he was the only one who reached out his hand. I owe him a great debt.”
“I see.”
Windsor slowly nodded. At moments like this, he regretted his poor command of words.
Yet, he couldn’t possibly scold Jacqueline in his usual blunt manner. He never knew when she might get angry—and suspected he had an uncanny talent for provoking her ire.
Just then, the soft sound of footsteps descending the stairs reached them. Both turned their heads simultaneously. The rapid patter—tadadak—gradually regained a more composed rhythm by the time the steps ended.
The next moment, Benjamin appeared from around the corner, walking with dignified composure. The boy regarded Windsor with a puzzled glance for a moment, then quickly greeted Jacqueline.
“You’re back, Miss Somerset.”
She walked toward Benjamin and smiled warmly.
“Hurry and change your clothes, then we’ll begin our remedial lesson. Today, we’ll continue where we left off last time—discussing cathedrals. It’s an essential topic in religious studies.”
“Yes, ma’am. I’ve just been reviewing what we learned last time.”
“Really? That’s truly commendable. Perhaps today’s lesson will end earlier than expected.”
Jacqueline paused briefly and glanced back. Catching Windsor’s eye, she awkwardly tugged at the corner of her lips.
“Of course, that is—if Lord Preston permits it.”
“Go ahead.”
He nodded indifferently. Jacqueline took the boy’s hand and began climbing the stairs. The sight looked quite natural.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”

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
