Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 173
Windsor’s chest grew damp, but he didn’t mind in the slightest. He pulled Jacqueline closer still.
“Ugh… hhh….”
A muffled sob escaped through the tightly pressed gap between them. Windsor pressed his lips gently to the crown of her head and whispered softly,
“You did your best. No one can blame you.”
“Hhhk….”
The clumsy tenderness of this man, awkward in offering comfort, touched something deep within Jacqueline. As if releasing all the tears she’d held back until now, she sobbed uncontrollably for a long while.
Only after what felt like an endlessly long time did Jacqueline’s weeping finally begin to subside. Windsor cupped her cheeks with both hands.
Jacqueline shook her head lightly, brushing his hands away, then buried her face once more against his chest.
“You’ll think I look strange—my face must be all puffy from crying so much.”
“You’ll look adorable.”
“You’ll think I look like a goldfish.”
“You’ll look as adorable as a goldfish.”
“…That’s exactly when you’re supposed to say I don’t look like a goldfish.”
At her gentle scolding, Windsor let out a quiet chuckle. He took her cheeks in his hands again and slowly lifted her face. Jacqueline hurriedly shook her head, but she couldn’t escape his firm grip.

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.
