Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 123
Gilrod, who had been waiting for her in the audience chamber, was accompanied by a single attendant. In the attendant’s hands was a wooden box.
“I said I would give you a gift, didn’t I?”
Ophelia replied without concealing her hostility toward the man, who seemed cheerier than ever.
“You did.”
“I’ve brought it now.”
Then Gilrod gestured to his attendant. The servant advanced before her, knelt down, and opened the box’s lid. Upon seeing what lay inside, Ophelia’s expression hardened.
Inside the box was a necklace woven from blue gems. Missing one of its smallest stones, the necklace gleamed with a brilliance that seemed out of place against the plain wooden box. She recognized it all too well.
There had been someone who knelt before her and offered this very item. That man had still had his head attached as recently as yesterday.
When Staret had offered her this necklace, Ophelia had refused it. She hadn’t wanted to play along with his lover’s game.
Now Staret was dead, and the necklace had returned in the hands of the man who had arranged his death.
There was only one meaning to this.
Struggling not to grind her teeth, Ophelia answered Gilrod, who looked up at her with a calm expression.
“I accept your gift.”
Despite her efforts to sound composed, her voice trembled unavoidably.
Gilrod bowed his head in response to her.
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.
