Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 98
He urged her once again. Her stomach churned. A hot lump surged up, heaving violently.
Though he was a man known for his patience above all others, he now wanted to force open her silent mouth.
What had she seen that startled her so? Why had she rushed out in such a panic? What was it that he didn’t know?
At that moment, Jacqueline grasped his arm and slowly straightened herself. Then, she turned her back to him deliberately. The alley remained deserted, and the two faced each other in silence.
“…….”
Windsor furrowed his brows. Seeing her pale face drenched in sweat, he quietly reached out his hand.
For an instant, she closed her eyes. Windsor carefully moved his large hand and slowly peeled away the strands of hair stuck to her cheek.
It felt as if time had frozen. Outside the alley, people still bustled about, and above them the season burned fiercely—but the moment between them seemed utterly suspended.
Windsor spread his fingers and cupped her cheek. Jacqueline closed her eyes again. Gently, Windsor rubbed his thumb, wiping the sweat gathered at her temple.
Her trembling eyelashes lifted. Through them emerged distorted green eyes.
“…….”
“…….”
Their eyes met once more, so close that even the slightest tremor was noticeable.
Windsor gazed at his own reflection in those green eyes, and Jacqueline would find hers reflected in his steel-gray ones.
Only then did Windsor pull his hand away. He rummaged through his pocket, took out a handkerchief, and offered it to her. Jacqueline let out a soft, scattered laugh.
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.
