Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 148
“…….”
Unlike Jacqueline, who was fuming, Windsor’s expression remained calm. That only made her angrier. It embarrassed her to realize she was the only one being emotional.
It had always been this way. Whenever she got angry, she felt like the only fool.
“There’s no point in continuing this conversation any further!”
She shot him a resentful glare, then turned her back coldly and left the room without even a word of farewell.
Bang.
Only after the door slammed shut did Windsor slowly raise his hand and rub the tip of his eyebrow. A long-suppressed sigh escaped his lips.
He couldn’t understand why Jacqueline was angry. He replayed their conversation in his mind but couldn’t even guess which of his words had upset her.
All he knew for certain was that he had made her angry—perhaps something he said or the way he acted had triggered her.
Windsor never wanted to make her angry. He wanted to make her smile. Yet that was never as simple as he wished.
His gaze drifted slowly downward. Jacqueline’s smiling face appeared vividly in his mind.
Her eyebrows slightly drooped, her eyes narrowed to thin slits, her mouth wide open, and her cheeks round and plump.
Jacqueline, laughing with all her might, had always calmed the hearts of those around her. Windsor leaned back with his elbow propped up, repeatedly rubbing the corner of his eyebrow.
When should he go see her? How long would he need to wait for her anger to subside? What words should he use to apologize? And if she asked whether he even understood why she was angry, what should he say?
His mind was swirling with these tangled questions when—
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!
