Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 48
Evan, who had briefly worn a dazed expression as if struck on the back of his head, soon smiled and nodded. He rose belatedly from his seat and grasped Windsor’s hand.
“Let’s do that. You’ll probably contact me again soon.”
He uttered the confident words with a gentle face. Windsor, who had faintly furrowed his brow, turned on his heel and left the room without another word.
Roman, who had somehow already been waiting by the door, asked, “Did your conversation go well?” He then glanced past the doorway upon noticing Windsor’s stiff expression.
“Huh? That person is…?”
Recognizing the familiar young man’s face, Roman nearly greeted him, but quickly followed Windsor as he walked away with heavy steps.
After boarding the carriage under the butler’s escort, Windsor remained silent until the vehicle had passed through the main gate of the Chamberlain estate.
“Look into Evan Knox. Find out what kind of man he is as a lawyer, and also…”
“And…?”
Windsor turned his head toward the window and fell silent. Roman waited briefly for a reply, but none came.
Bewildered, Roman finally answered, “Understood.” The carriage slowly crossed the long private drive lined with palm trees.
Cicadas buzzed loudly. The season had already crossed the threshold into summer.

Though Windsor knew exactly whose calm footsteps echoed down the corridor, he deliberately kept his eyes lowered—as if consciously trying to ignore the sound.
The visitor knocked, waited for permission, then opened the door. Only then did Windsor slowly lift his gaze from the dense array of numbers before him.
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!

…awww, indirectly our Devil of the Black Fleet had made our Fairy sad…
while lord preston was really hasty with his judgment on jackie, i kinda understand why he’s avoiding her since they did have the chance to talk but she didn’t really say anything so he eventually misunderstood her intentions.
Honestly, if I am in Jackie’s shoes, I would’ve lashed out at my own mother long ago. The audacity to demand so much when she’s done nothing to improve their situation.

“Mother, we’re no longer the brilliant Somerset family of the past.”
This is very frustrating. Her mother went to the countryside to stay with her sister while Jacqueline was the one who worked to pay back all of their debts. Her mother is a disillusioned entitled sorry excuse of a parent. In what world would you prioritize your life over your childs as a mother
