My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 46
Because Chloe sat at the head seat, the two of them ended up eating side by side unintentionally.
Normally, she ought to have criticized Chloe for taking Kalis’s seat, but she decided to let it slide today.
First, because Kalis had asked her to, and second, because Chloe’s position within the ducal household was no longer what it used to be.
After all, Chloe could only sit at the head seat today because no one dared reprimand the duchess for her breach of etiquette.
‘That woman effortlessly takes everything I want.’
Helena thought this as she glanced briefly at Chloe.
The duchess’s seat Helena had coveted, people’s respect and affection, Kalis’s attention, everyone’s submission—everything.
The only place she could ever trample the naturally aloof woman had been right here, yet even that had now become difficult.
Though tonight’s meal had been prepared with her favorite roast turkey and corn soup, it held no appeal for her.
Helena nibbled slowly on the small portion of turkey on her plate.
“Is it not to your taste?”
“What?”
“I prepared the dishes you said you liked, so I wondered if they weren’t good. Or perhaps I, too, prepared the wrong things like the duke did.”
She had assumed this banquet was specially arranged by Kalis, who was about to depart on his journey, just for Helena—but to learn it was Chloe’s doing!
‘She truly lives in her own world.’
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
And the Academy Award goes to… The husband, for his perfect portrayal of a complete dick.
No one knows how much she suffers inside the house. It made me very sad. (◞‸ ◟)
I like her. Probably because she hasn’t yet mastered the task of tamping down exuberance.
