Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 52
“I understand. If that is your wish, Miss Somerset, there’s nothing I can do. Then I shall see you again another time. Goodbye.”
Evan walked straight toward the carriage. At the same time, Jacqueline turned her back toward the mansion.
Hearing the carriage recede into the distance, she crossed the hallway. She had been walking quickly, but suddenly stopped. Without realizing it, she bit her lip.
Her testimony would have strengthened Windsor’s position. Yet, in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to nod in agreement.
Jacqueline couldn’t abandon her mother. No matter how heavy a burden she might be, she was still Jacqueline’s mother.
And yet, she hadn’t even gone to see Parker O’Brien for her mother’s sake.
“…Coward.”
Muttering this self-reproach, she lifted her head again and strode forward resolutely. Just as she began climbing the stairs, she sensed someone above. Slowly, Jacqueline looked up.
“…”
Her eyes met Windsor’s, who was descending the stairs. Instantly, her expression hardened.
Sooner or later, he would find out. That she had refused his request for her to testify on his behalf.
What would Windsor think then? Would he feel betrayed by her? Or would he understand her circumstances? Or perhaps… had he never expected anything from her in the first place?
Her chest felt as heavy as if weighted down with lead. She couldn’t catch her breath. Even after pulling her shoulders back and inhaling deeply, her lungs refused to expand.
Jacqueline’s eyes sank into profound gloom.
At the sight, Windsor let out a cold, piercing sneer. Jacqueline gave a slight bow and walked past him.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]

Even knowing this, Jacqueline was wounded anew each time she interacted with her
Even though its just a word coming fromt the mother, it still hurt emotionally, I just know because I felt it too but its too much💔
Thinking of her mother as a burden, wanting to run away from her—it made Jacquel
It’s so hard to do the right thing when you know it can hurt the ones you love, yet I still think her mother is selfis.
“Jacqueline, don’t disappoint me.”
She tried so hard not to disappoint her mother and Windsor, eventually she will end up disappointed with herself

…both with conflicting emotions they do not understand
ren
yeah i understand her, even if she doesn’t do anything, it’s not like the other parties would be satisfied with that. maybe lord preston and benjamin can make other people testify, but as for her mom, it’s all or nothing.
