“What?”
“You’re handsome, smart, born in a good place. You’re exceptional.”
William stared blankly, as if hearing absurd remarks, then burst into laughter.
“Well, hearing it from you, I guess I am.”
“It’s true. People say you’re exceptional because you’re exceptional, right?”
“Alright.”
When Larisa casually mentioned it, it seemed like she wasn’t really bothered by it. William kept laughing because he found it amusing that he was contemplating such things.
However, he couldn’t laugh at Larisa’s next words.
“You know, there seems to be some story about our mom.”
“Hmm?”
“The old lady we used to know in the alley said that. She said our mom had some story, and that’s why she ran away.”
“…”
“What kind of story do you think it is?”
Larisa carefully took out the rocket she always wore around her neck and held it, saying, “I’m curious about Mom’s story. Can you help, William?”
“How?”
“I don’t know. Should we meet that old lady again and ask her?”
William hesitated.
“Can you lend me that rocket for a moment?”
Larisa stretched her neck, offering the rocket. William took it off and began examining it, turning it around.
“Normally, noble families engrave their family crest, but this one doesn’t have a crest… so it doesn’t seem to be from a noble background. We might need to look into merchant families.”
“Can we find out?”
“And what will you do if we find out?”
“If there are other relatives of Mom’s, we should let them know she passed away.”
Larisa’s face became gloomy. William spoke while gently stroking her soft, pink hair like cotton candy.
“You really don’t seem like a kid.”
“I hear that a lot.”
“If you want to cry, just cry.”
“I don’t really feel like crying.”
“There’s nothing to say then.”
Larisa chuckled softly, and William joined in.
The next day, William, at Larisa’s request, decided to go out together. The news of their outing was soon conveyed to the butler and Hadel by the servants who prepared for the children’s outing.
“Just the two of you are going out?”
“Yes.”
“Are you running away again?”
“No.”
Hadel looked at William suspiciously. William confidently said,
“We’re going out because we have something to do.”
“I’ll accompany you.”
“I don’t want that.”
“Then I’ll follow you.”
Unable to bear Hadel’s confident attitude, William stumbled and said,
“Hey, sir.”
“Why am I sir…!”
Before William could express his anger, Larisa clung to Hadel’s leg and said,
“Sir Hadel!”
“Well, that’s correct, but anyway, why are you like this, little lamb?”
“Sir Hadel is busy. It’s okay for William and me to go out alone.”
“Do you two have any idea how unsafe the security is in the slums?”
“I lived there for a long time, you know?”
“Back then was back then, and now Larisa’s value is different from back then. Anyway, we can’t just send two kids alone.”
When Hadel came out with a firm attitude, William spoke with a sour face.
“When I used to go alone, you left me alone…”
“At that time, there was no Miss Larisa. And it wasn’t like going to the slums. Even now, if you go alone, I won’t stop you.”
For a moment, William almost blurted out that Hadel was discriminating against people.
‘Right. It’s okay to discriminate a bit. Larisa is fragile.’
Staring at William, Hadel quietly added,
“If Sir William insisted on going out alone when he was 7 years old, I would have followed him back then.”
“What?”
“Even though you’re only 14, I think Sir William has the ability to take care of himself now, so I believe in him. So, don’t make that face. Children need adult protection.”
“…”
Anyway, that’s how Hadel ended up accompanying them.
“But where are we going?”
“I want to talk to the lady we met yesterday…”
Hadel, hearing Larisa’s concern, took out a rocket. It was a simple rocket with no pattern, but a portrait of a girl was drawn inside, reminding someone of a specific person.
“She looks a lot like Queen Mama.”
“Really?”
Larisa said proudly.
In fact, our mom looked a lot like Queen Mama too. Mom was also very beautiful.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. So when I first saw Queen Mama, I was really surprised. Still, the picture inside the rocket probably isn’t Mom. Mom’s hair color and eye color are definitely different from mine.”
“What was your mom like?”
“Her hair was as white as snow, and her eyes were red like mine.”
“An uncommon color…”
Larisa had rare red eyes. Looking at Larisa’s cute face, Hadel guessed that the queen must have been enchanted by her cuteness and took her in as a daughter.
‘Oh, it seems like an unusual story.’
Abundant pink hair, sparkling red eyes like beads, a doll-like appearance. There was no doubt that she would grow into a beauty later on.
‘It’s unlikely that she’s just tied to the queen by bad luck, right?’
Hadel stared at the girl in the rocket for a while. Flowing golden hair like honey, green eyes like beads. Her glamorous face looked exactly like the queen’s childhood.
“Could she be related to Queen Mama…”
At Hadel’s suspicion, Larisa burst into laughter.
“Oh, come on, don’t be ridiculous.”
“Maybe a hidden younger sister…”
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…?
