“That means, well…,” Luke, upon hearing Catherine’s words, wore a bewildered expression.
Feeding her alcohol.
It was a method he had never considered before.
“When?”
“Well, still, wouldn’t it be better after Bonita’s birthday?”
Catherine murmured, narrowing her eyebrows.
“It’s her first birthday party, and if something bad happens before that, it’ll be too sad for her. So, whatever you do, do it after her birthday.”
“Surprisingly thoughtful…”
As he sighed in admiration, Catherine tapped Luke’s head.
“Ouch.”
“Anyway, you’re a really clueless guy.”
While rubbing his forehead, Luke glanced at Catherine.
“It’s truly a miracle that Elodie accepted you, a miracle.”
Even though he grumbled, in the violet eyes, there was concern for him, so he couldn’t bring himself to get angry. Moreover, expressing inner thoughts was the most challenging for his mother. Considering this, Catherine had put in a lot of effort.
“Got it. Let’s give it a try.”
With a determined expression, he responded.
“After the birthday party, I’ll talk to her again.”

“Brother, going to the duke’s residence?”
Bentley, neatly dressed in a pressed shirt and brown trousers, turned around at the touch of his younger brother Morgan’s hand, who was dressed in a similar manner.
He looked annoyed as Morgan adjusted Bentley’s black bow tie.
“Well, I have to. It’s her birthday, you know.”
“Why can’t I go?”
“Well, because you didn’t get an invitation.”
“I want to go too!”
Morgan grabbed Bentley’s clothes and started throwing a tantrum.
“Only you become a duke, and that’s too deadly.”
“Why would I become a duke?!”
Startled by Morgan’s words, Bentley pushed his brother away.
But Morgan continued, ignoring him.
“Don’t go somewhere and say that. If you make a mistake, our whole household might be in ruins.”
“Ruins? What does that mean?”
“It means everything will fall apart!”
To Bentley’s threatening tone, Morgan furrowed his brow.
“How can our house fall apart? Is a magician going to explode a blasting spell over our house?”
“It doesn’t mean that… Haah.”
Bentley shook his head.
“How can you be so stupid while being my brother?”
“I’m not stupid! You’re the one who’s much stupider than me!”
“No, looking at it, you’re much better than me.”
At Bentley’s words, Morgan seemed to feel very upset.
“The only reason you know more than me is that you’re much older than me. If I was born two or three years earlier, I would have been much stronger, smarter, and could have become a duke!”
“I told you not to say that.”
Bentley scolded him.
He pointed at Morgan, shining a threatening gaze.
“If you keep saying such things, Father won’t take you to be a duke. Got it?”
“I don’t know! You’re too mean!”
“No, looking at it, you’re much better than me.”
Morgan let out a snort in Bentley’s face, then stormed into the room.
Bentley sighed.
‘Ugh, I don’t want to go either.’
According to his father, that girl invited her friends this time.
Then his father scolded Bentley again.
“I told you to befriend her, so why didn’t you get an invitation?”
‘It’s not my fault that I didn’t get an invitation.’
He grumbled to himself.
Bentley considered that he had put in quite a lot of effort. After all, he spent the entire day with a young girl who was both unfamiliar with letters and found him repulsive.
“Father, I’m ready.”
“Okay. Shall we get in the carriage?”
Oliver, who was neatly dressed, looked Bentley up and down, then moved on with a satisfied smile.
“Well, at least you received an invitation from her. Take this opportunity to gain the Lady’s trust as much as possible. Make her want to invite you to her house and play with you anytime.”
“What are you planning to do with that?”
While suspecting what his father meant, Bentley still asked.
Oliver remained silent.
Bentley glanced at his father, wondering if an unfavorable remark would be made.
His father spoke again only after entering the completely sealed carriage.
“You won’t know about that.”
Oliver, sitting in the carriage, smiled benevolently.
“Just befriend her. After that, I’ll take care of everything.”
He added.
“Then you might become a duke.”
Hearing those words, Bentley wasn’t particularly pleased. In his mind, the face of Bonita, who had insight into insignificant matters that day, floated in front of him.
She astonishingly noticed secrets others were hiding. Afterward, she would keep quiet, waiting for the right moment to poke at weaknesses.
He cautiously said.
“Father, wouldn’t it be better to just stay quiet?”
“What do you mean all of a sudden?”
“Well, in my opinion…”
Seeing his father’s serious expression, he got scared and faltered.
“Ah, it’s nothing.”
“Fine, do it your way.”
Oliver smiled again, looking out the window. However, the unease in Bentley’s heart did not diminish at all.
A bad premonition crept over him.
Whatever his father was planning, that girl would surely notice and say something…

She felt good from the moment she woke up that morning.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
