Looking at Serena’s displeased face, Peter snapped back to his senses.
“No, I simply… gathered information. As you commanded, Your Grace.”
“What if you gather information while siding with someone else?”
“I am not siding with anyone; I am simply reporting the facts.”
This was Peter’s sincerity. Anna had already been leaning towards the Crown Prince as well.
“I also thought the Crown Prince was a wonderful man when I met him. Miss, you should also look at him with fair eyes.”
“Even you, Anna?”
Serena sighed deeper into the sofa.
“Both of you, didn’t you promise to protect me for the rest of my life?”
Despite Serena’s exasperated outcry, both remained serious.
“Of course. But… there’s no need for you to be alone.”
“Yes, Madam Anna is correct.”
They had both decided to protect and follow her for life since Serena came to Astel. Still, they wished for her to attain everyday happiness if possible.
“Especially with such a wonderful marriage partner.”
“That’s right.”
Huff, Serena sighed and looked at them alternately.
“All I want is a single life.”
“If that is what you wish, Miss, we couldn’t ask for more.”
Even if Anna couldn’t understand it, she respected Serena.
“But if you must marry, the Crown Prince would be the best choice. Not just because of his status… He came all the way to Astel and courageously expressed his true feelings.”
“I also agree. Among the recent high-ranking noble men, there are few like him.”
Both were the people who valued Serena’s happiness the most. Even when the Duke of Astel was wandering, Serena was never lonely because of these two.
Moreover, when she fell into an unfamiliar world, she could gradually adapt to this life because of them.
So even if she didn’t agree with them at the moment, it was clear that they genuinely wished well for her.
Now, even these two were causing Serena headaches. Standing up with her temples pinched, she stomped her feet and went into her bedroom.
“Why is everyone like this, really?”
She threw herself on the bed and tightly closed her eyes.
“Don’t I have anyone on my side? Really…”
Everything had gone according to plan when Duke Pharel came to the mansion upon hearing the rumors. But today, he left lonely, and even Peter and Anna, whom she had trusted, took the side of the Crown Prince.
“So, because he’s the Crown Prince, he suffered and came back healthier and did it all to stand confidently in front of me, his fiancée? He’s the perfect groom material?”
She spit it out in irritation but almost convinced herself.
“Hmph. Forget it.”
The humiliation from the engagement ceremony was still vivid. Bad memories don’t fade away easily; the saying fit perfectly.
“It’s been six years.”
Though she had tried to maintain composure, the wound Serena received at the engagement ceremony still remained as a large scar in her heart.
Ironically, the reason for that scar was the same as what had pained her in her previous life, and she didn’t want to regret it again.
“Self-fulfillment, it’s all selfishness.”
Serena vividly remembered the ridicule directed at her back then. Had she not broken off the engagement herself, she couldn’t have lived properly.
“I can live well on my own. Just as I’ve managed Astel, I can handle the rest of my life.”
Holding back, Serena bit her lip at the end of her monologue.
“Why, why did you come back now…”
She wouldn’t have had this dilemma if he had never returned. But Lucas had come back, and he had shaken Serena.
“Why have you changed so much.”
If she hadn’t seen his eyes, which proved the sincerity of his words about having refined himself for her in the past six years, she wouldn’t be feeling this restless now.
“You’re really selfish.”
As much as she didn’t want to admit it, Lucas’s presence was shaking Serena’s heart.
She had firmly vowed to never give her heart to anyone again and to never get hurt because of that. Yet, this man who suddenly appeared had easily shaken everything.
Let’s get married.
Lucas’s piercing eyes were sincere.
Let’s become husband and wife.
There was not a hint of falsehood in his upright and honest confession.
That’s why her heart was restless. To the point where she couldn’t even sleep, her heart was that noisy and restless.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
