In response to Odette’s provocation, Valter briefly stiffened his expression, as if slightly taken aback. However, he soon broke into a sly smile.
“I never told the princess to deceive me; I’ve never asked for an obvious lie.”
“Things can sound different depending on who’s listening. Both lies and truths.”
“So, are you going to tell blatant lies, expecting me to be deceived?”
“Can’t you do it? They say anything sounds like the truth when it comes from the person you love.”
Odette tilted her head slightly, blinking her eyes.
“You love me, don’t you?”
“……!”
The moment Valter’s expression stiffened, Odette’s words followed.
“You haven’t forgotten, have you? Our contract.”
“…Ah. That’s what you were talking about.”
Only then did Valter’s expression loosen. With a somewhat resentful and relieved look.
Slowly sweeping back his hair, Valter coldly chuckled.
“You must be acting like this because a sudden urge took over you. There’s no way you’ve actually fallen in love with me.”
“Come to think of it, I’ve been curious for a while.”
As Odette muttered, reaching out her hand, Valter bent his upper body gracefully and brought his face close.
Thanks to that, she could easily caress her husband.
“Why do you think I wouldn’t love you?”
“…Because you hate me.”
“Do you think I’d do this to someone I hate?”
“Do you not love Louis Clovis?”
“That’s a lie.”
Smirking and whispering, Valter furrowed his brow and licked his lips.
“One of those statements must be a lie.”
“Don’t think too deeply. Just focus on what’s in front of you right now.”
What’s in front of you and why we came here.
There was no response to the added words.
Instead, Valter’s grip entwined around her supple calves.
The touch that groped behind the patella, which was gradually revealing the indentation, soon caused the indoor slipper hanging loosely on Odette’s toes to fall off.
Then, soft lips touched and retreated from the instep.
Not entirely submissive, not entirely reverent, the act seemed like a display of obedience tainted with desire.
The gentle breath tickled the sensitive skin, and the once polite gesture gradually revealed my desires.
Caressing the flesh and gradually kissing up, finally settling at the intersection of the crossed feet.
The hem of Odette’s clothing, which had shaken near her knees, had already dried and risen, exposing her white thighs.
“This time, you pulled me first.”
Valter, who said so, had an expression that seemed to sense the limit of patience, slightly wrinkling his forehead.
Odette, led by him, had an expression clearly devoid of composure.
The man who was always relaxed now wore a slightly impatient expression because of her, creating a strange sense of exhilaration.
And now is the opportune time to use what has been prepared.
Odette’s attire, at first glance, seemed like an unproblematic muslin dress.
And the real thing was what was inside it.
“……!”
“You said so. Remember it well.”
Valter’s expression, now beyond losing composure, seemed to be shocked.
If a moment ago he was barely clinging to the cliff, now it seemed as if the entire cliff had collapsed.
In satisfaction with the precisely executed plan, Odette reached out and took the glass that had been placed beside her.
One was a glass that Valter had partially emptied, and the other was filled to the brim, intended for her.
Extending the full glass and bringing the partially empty glass to her lips, Odette smiled languidly.
“How about this? Is this a sufficient exemplary answer?”
⭐⭐⭐
A lazy morning with the bright sunlight slanting in.
Rubbing her eyelids against the sun that touched them, Odette slowly opened her eyes.
“……Ugh.”
At the same time, the pain that surged made her immediately bury her head back into the pillow.
The bedding, warmed by last night’s body heat, once again gently enveloped Odette.
It was a composition that brought to mind the previous soirée with Savier, but this time, there was one key difference.
“……!”
Back then, a handsome blond man wasn’t sleeping beside her.
Seeing the man’s figure, who seemed to be simply closing his eyes quietly as if to take a nap, Odette was startled for a moment and then belatedly understood the situation.
‘……Right.’
Yes, I got married yesterday.
And today was the morning after the night of the soirée.
Only then could Odette comprehend the situation.
Lying next to Valter, almost completely undressed—even she was practically undressed—was indeed a situation.
‘Right, it was the same in the novels.’
The descriptions of the heroines after their first night were always consistent.
A heavy and lethargic body, terrible pain from the waist…
‘Wait a minute.’
From the waist, terrible pain? Odette suddenly felt a sense of discomfort and sat up.
Because.
‘I have… a headache?’
The pain she was experiencing was nothing but a headache.
And no matter which novel Odette read, there was no description of a headache after the first night.
‘What happened last night that my head…’
…Ah.
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…?
