My Contract Marriage Got Interrupted (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
Even at Odette’s question, Walter showed no sign of surprise.
He wasn’t an idiot; when he had included that clause in the contract, he’d already considered the possibility that something like this might happen someday.
“…I don’t understand what you’re saying. Suggesting I’d want to die? That’s the most absurd thing I’ve heard recently.”
Walter let out a sigh with a completely expressionless face, as if he hadn’t even bothered to defend himself.
It was time to bring out the excuses he’d prepared exactly for moments like this.
“The Ertman bloodline has only me as its direct heir. What would become of this house if I were to die?”
“But wasn’t Sir Arnold’s nephew already registered as your successor?”
“…”
His first excuse was immediately blocked.
“Considering your age, isn’t it unusually early to have already named a successor?”
“I registered him as a precaution—in case I died on the battlefield. Someone would inevitably have to take over, and Grandfather was already quite old—”
“But wasn’t that the very first thing you did right after returning from the front just a few months ago?”
His second excuse was also shot down.
If he’d claimed he registered a successor in advance out of fear of dying in battle, it didn’t add up—since he’d actually registered the heir only after returning safely from that same battlefield.
It wasn’t hard for Walter to guess exactly where his flimsy lie had unraveled.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
