When the Duke’s name was mentioned, they sighed in disappointment. Regardless of being the mistress of a noble family, the ruler of Lysianthius Duchy, Count Lysianthius, was somewhat intimidating.
Moreover, asking further after a refusal would be impolite and uncouth. They chuckled and shifted the topic again.
Thud, thud, thud, thud.
Bonita earnestly chased after the boy walking in front of her like a tin can.
‘Tin can… There was a better word than a tin can…’
What was it? Ro something?
While Bonita pondered what ‘metaphorical word’ to give Alan, he suddenly turned around.
The boy turned his head in various directions, seemingly checking if anyone was watching.
“What, what are you doing?”
“Just, whatever.”
Alan replied bluntly.
“I went through the trouble of bringing you along as an excuse to escape. We can’t go back to the playroom with those smelly babies.”
“What?”
“We’re going to escape through the doghole from now on.”
“…What?”
Alan looked at Bonita with a puzzled expression.
“Why have you been acting so silly… no. Like a baby, making noises and all?”
“Well, but…”
Bonita blushed, unsure how to respond to the boy’s unconventional suggestion.
Although living in the Duke’s residence had made her more confident than before, Bonita had never done anything mischievous in her life.
“Aria told us to go to the playroom. Lady Viscountess, too, probably.”
“Is it okay?”
Alan tapped his chest with a fist.
“Boys are supposed to play like this. Sneak out of the room secretly without Mom knowing. The ability to make a perfect infiltration is a sign of strength.”
“…I’m a girl, though?”
“Oh? Really?”
Having been logically refuted, Alan blinked.
The boy paused for a moment, as if his brain had stopped working. Soon, he spoke.
“Maybe girls are similar!”
“I don’t think so…”
“No, it must be right?”
Of course, there were no other girls around Alan, but he decided to insist on it for now.
“Come on. Over there, I’ve dismantled a wooden board with my brother. It leads to outside the Viscount’s residence.”
“Uh…”
Bonita rolled her eyes with an anxious expression. However, there were no adults around to ask for help.
‘Is it really okay to go out like this?’
… It didn’t seem right no matter how she thought about it.
As Bonita continued to hesitate, Alan, who was clearing the wooden board, sighed.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you coming?”
“Um…”
Bonita grabbed Alan’s leg as he stuck his head into the doghole, looking like he got stuck. In that state, Alan yelled.
“Hey! Hey! What are you doing? If you do this, your clothes will get scratched, and Mom will find out!”
“But…”
“I told you to let go quickly! You have to go out before you get caught!”
The unexpected person who helped Bonita, unable to move, was someone unexpected.
“What are you trying to catch?”
“Ugh!”
With the sudden interjection, Alan flinched. Well, Bonita could only see his plump buttocks and wiggling legs.
“Bro. What are you doing?”
“To bring the lady.”
Cassis, who intervened, clucked his tongue like an old man.
“Leave the lady behind and do something foolish here…”
Alan, who was receiving scolding from his older brother, met eyes with Bonita. The boy’s lips closed.
“Hmm…”
With an expressionless face, Cassis grinned, tilting his head.
“Who?”
“B-Bonita.”
“Oh? A new face.”
Cassis said so, scanning Bonita from head to toe.
Pink hair that seemed to have a sweet taste. Bright red eyes like a rabbit. With gentle and round eyes, she was quite a cute ‘child.’
“You’re three years old younger than me, huh.”
In an instant, seven-year-old Cassis, having made a quick judgment, patted Bonita’s head and asked.
“Three years old? Or are you four?”
“……Huh?”
Bonita was taken aback.
She was smaller and thinner than her peers, but she had never expected to be asked if she was three years old.
“Is he teasing me now?”
Trying to torment her?
… Thinking that way, it made a bit more sense.
Boys who teased others would mockingly call someone they perceived as weaker as a ‘baby.’
But she couldn’t just let such teasing pass, especially not here.
With the confidence gained from her experience in the Duke’s residence, Bonita clenched her fist and shouted.
“I, I am seven years old!”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
