Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 55
“Um… Would it be alright if I came along with you two that time? When you go to collect cicada shells, I mean. I won’t disturb you—I’ll just quietly gather cicada shells beside you. I promise.”
“Aha ha.”
Jacqueline finally burst out laughing. The child didn’t understand why she was laughing. After tilting his head in confusion for a moment, Benjamin soon followed her and laughed as well.
“Of course, Benjamin. You’re always welcome.”
“Thank you, Miss Somerset.”
Jacqueline quickly wiped away a tear that had slipped out and bit her lip hard. Suddenly, she felt like she might burst into tears. Perhaps it was because the beams of light pouring through the window were simply too dazzling.
Summer was deepening.

Windsor stepped down from the carriage. While he fastened the buttons of his jacket, the reporters densely gathered before the courthouse froze in astonishment.
Snapping out of their daze a moment too late, they swarmed toward him like a cloud of gnats. Without any regard for order, they immediately bombarded him with questions.
“Lord Preston, are you appearing today as a prosecution witness? What’s your reason?”
“Wasn’t Miss Jacqueline Somerset supposed to testify today? Isn’t she attending?”
“There’s a rumor that after Miss Jacqueline Somerset reported James Hammington, several anonymous nobles filed additional charges against him. Could you tell us who these anonymous nobles might be?”
“Please share your thoughts—how do you anticipate the outcome of this trial?”
The reporters circled Windsor persistently like bloodthirsty gnats, making it nearly impossible for him to take even a single step.

Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…

Many side with Jacqueline in the comments. But put yourself in Windsor’s position for a second – and you’ll see, his actions actually also make sense
“You deceived me and met the King’s counsel in Southfield, didn’t you?”
