Was it a case that Jane had been progressing unknowingly, or perhaps she had read Cloe’s notes?
Anyway, Jane forcibly requested Cloe not to search for the culprit. She emphasized that she was fine, so please just let her recover.
“If Jane doesn’t want it, it’s right not to investigate further.”
Without the actual victim Jane present, they couldn’t proceed with the trial.
“Why on earth…”
Although Kun successfully extracted a confession from the mabu couple and even managed to put them as witnesses, it was regrettable to step back.
Jane was too determined not to recall that incident. It was as if Jane would not have a seizure, even though Cloe had touched something she shouldn’t have.
“Kun.”
Kun, without stopping cutting the steak, glanced at Cloe. It was a silent signal for her to speak.
“The trial…”
Although the words that the trial cannot be held were evident in the tone, Cloe couldn’t bring herself to send him away.
She didn’t want to convey the fact that things had gone awry in the midst of her busy schedule, helping the man who had taken care of Jane’s affairs.
“The trial…”
Kun repeated the words quietly to the unresponsive opponent.
“So, the trial…”
Thanks to that, Cloe’s lips opened again, but she still lacked confidence. Only her clumsy dress hem wound up in her hands.
“Kun, Jane is acting strange.”
In the end, Cloe, unable to endure, changed the subject. It was an unexpected story that Jane had changed.
“She suddenly told me not to search for the culprit who tried to harm herself. Also, she insisted that I promise not to intervene in the case anymore… It has changed so much that it’s suspicious, more than just trauma. She even had nightmares last night and couldn’t sleep until dawn.”
On the subject of Jane claiming to have changed, even talking Cloe became strange. Extremely excited, she mumbled pronunciations without coherence.
“Cloe.”
Kun called the panting lover. The name thrown out as a calm order scattered firmly.
“Protect.”
“…”
“Protect your person.”
The consecutive words were unequivocal.
“I know you’re not so weak.”
His words were like a soothing tonic.
It seemed that the agitated mind was gradually returning. The irregularly rising chest and shoulders became somewhat orderly.
“If she has changed so much that you don’t know why, think slowly. Consider what could cause your person to be so shaken.”
“…”
“Think about what usually makes your servant vulnerable.”
To a person who had just calmed down, reflection was a significant demand.
However, Cloe followed the direction he suggested. The man’s cool words rained down into her troubled mind.
‘What makes Jane vulnerable…’
Honestly, the time Cloe and Jane spent together was not very long. Even that time was filled with Jane’s one-sided care.
Therefore, Cloe couldn’t know much about Jane.
‘Jane…’
Jane was the warmest child among those Cloe had encountered at the duke’s residence.
‘I’ll be on the lady’s side.’
Even if warned that it could be dangerous to follow her, she would smile and help Cloe with her finances.
Even when Cloe fainted, she fainted until Cloe woke up, staying by her side, a kind child.
There was also a reason why that child left Cloe.
‘I’m not the lady’s person anymore.’
It was when their relationship collided with an irrational situation that could only bring disadvantages to each other.
“…!”
In the midst of mindlessly continuing her thoughts, Cloe realized something.
‘I’ll go visit my parents. In fact, I’m a late child, so my parents are old and fragile. Since I’m their only child who hasn’t married, I have to work hard to support and feed my parents.’
The child who was endlessly strong in her work, now suddenly weakened, became the reason for her return.
“Parents…”
Now she vaguely seemed to know.
“Jane has parents. When she applied for a maid position, she had to provide personal information on the documents, so even in the duke’s residence, they should know about her parents. If that child ends up facing a trial against the duke’s family, she might be worried about the potential harm reaching her parents, who are alone.”
“I see.”
Cloe, who had deduced it on her own, earned a smile from Kun as if he was proud.
He calmly put down the steak he had used to expel the blood and picked it up again. The knife, smoothly entering, skillfully cut through the piece of meat.
“The trial.”
“…”
“Now, what comes after the trial?”
In return, Cloe raised a wine glass. Even as she swirled the red liquid inside the glass, she followed it with a smile.
“Please allow the trial to proceed. And…”
The gaze, which had been dimming with anxiety and worry, suddenly became intense.
“Permit bringing Jane’s parents to the palace. Kun.”
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…?
