Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 146
Jacqueline let out a breathy laugh and quietly lifted her eyes. Windsor was right. Speculating about what might have been with past events was utterly pointless.
Right now, her heart belonged to Windsor, and she had no room to accept anyone else’s feelings. At the very moment Jacqueline let out a soft sigh,
“……”
she turned toward the window—she’d heard the sound of a carriage. Soon after, William entered, opening the parlor door.
He walked over to Jacqueline and quietly whispered into her ear,
“Miss Humble is here. What should we do?”
“Samantha?”
Surprised by the unexpected visitor, Jacqueline’s eyes widened. William looked at her with gentle concern.
“She insists on seeing Miss Somerset. She looked so pale—I feared something terrible might happen if I sent her away like that.”
After a moment, Jacqueline slowly softened her eyes. She was surrounded by people who cared about her.
Three years ago, she hadn’t noticed this at all. Back then, she’d been too busy just trying to keep from being swept away by the raging current.
She hadn’t wanted help from anyone, worried the muddy water splashing off her might stain their clothes.
She’d been afraid they’d eventually resent her for it, terrified that the few people left would abandon her too.
But that, it seemed, had been Jacqueline’s own arrogance. Neither Windsor, nor Evan, nor even Samantha cared in the slightest about a few splashes of muddy water on their clothes.
Evan, who had been watching her face, stood up abruptly.
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.”

“I told you to choose Mr. Knox! He wouldn’t make you this anxious—he’s the kinde
The heart wants what it wants, and sometimes what seems “good” for us, maybe not very well be what we need or want. I’m glad there having this girl talk though, it’s the first of Jackie’s in the novel
Look at me again, always the weak one.
Damn Jackie, I wish you’d remember that Joe it seems to you, is most definitely how you come across. You affect Windsor to the same, if not more degree
“Yes. I can’t explain it well, but… after that, I wasn’t scared of Uncle anymore
Why does this behaviour inspire admiration when, in truth, it’s how all adults should behave?… Why has this become so rare? ಥ╭╮ಥ
