Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 77
After swinging his legs a few times, he felt his heart ease. Benjamin’s voice grew a little louder.
“My mother passed away shortly after giving birth to me, so I don’t remember her face at all. Well, there is a portrait of her, but I mean I’ve never actually seen her.”
Benjamin, who had been staring fixedly at his desk, slowly lifted his head. As always, Jacqueline was looking at the boy with gentle eyes.
Meeting her gaze, Benjamin continued his story smoothly, as if sharing casual conversation over tea.
“Before my father died, he told me I had an uncle—a great naval officer, a strong man who never bowed to adversity. He said my uncle would protect me.”
Benjamin paused briefly and glanced sideways at Windsor. Windsor was staring back at him with an unreadable expression.
Though he felt a little intimidated, Benjamin consciously straightened his back and lifted his chin. This was no time to act like a child.
Everyone fell silent, afraid to miss even a word from Benjamin. His innocent voice cut through the thick, layered stillness.
“I still remember my father’s funeral clearly. It rained a soft, misty rain from morning, and the mansion was filled with people dressed in black. I was four years old then. I didn’t understand what death meant… Well, of course, now I know what death is. Back then I was just a baby, but now I’m six—old enough to understand life and death.”
Someone let out a soft chuckle at that. Others dabbed their eyes with handkerchiefs. A faint murmur drifted from a sympathetic elderly lady: “Poor child…”
“At the time, I didn’t realize I’d never see my father again, but I did understand I was alone. Everyone I met kept saying, ‘Master Benjamin is all alone now. What will become of this child?’”
Evan, meeting Benjamin’s eyes, gave an encouraging nod for him to go on.
“Being alone was… a little scary.”
Blushing slightly as he admitted his vulnerability, Benjamin quickly shrugged his shoulders as if it didn’t matter.
“I may be six now, but back then I was only four, and… well, I hate to admit it, but I was really young then. Everyone is like that at that age, right?”
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.]
