My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 91
Even after news of Helena’s death spread, the nobles did not seek out Kalis. He had expected them to toss him a thin scrap of sympathy, if only to maintain their usual pretense—but what came instead was indifference.
Not a single letter of condolence for him left alone, nor a private visit to mourn Helena, who hadn’t even received a proper funeral. The ducal household remained utterly silent. The only ones welcoming him were countless requests from reporters chasing a scoop.
The first to inquire after Kalis, who was drowning in grief, was Cedric—a man he’d never met before.
“To Duke Arhen,
I’ve heard the news. It’s truly regrettable that your former wife has passed away.
I thought I might offer you some comfort, poor soul with nowhere else to turn or lean on—when would be a good time for you?
Please reply as soon as possible.
Cedric Theodore.”
The arrogant tone suited his station. The hastily scrawled handwriting revealed the shallow sentiment behind the letter.
Thus began an appointment made without warning.
“Your face looks gloomy.”
Cedric, seated with legs crossed, jerked his chin toward the table—a signal to pour him a drink.
Kalis forced a smile, lowered himself, and reached out. The bottle, adorned with ornate golden embellishments, was quite heavy. So much for comfort—he’d brought an expensive liquor instead.
The two glasses Kalis filled clinked together. Soon, both men’s Adam’s apples bobbed.
“The taste is excellent.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
The female CEO who doesn’t want to get married with a divorce agreement in hand × The male archaeological researcher who will only get married if he’s sure he can get divorced
It seems to me that Kalis was not as attached to Helena as I had previously thought. He behaved as if utterly devoted to her initially. Did he even really mourn her death? He tossed her and their unborn child aside quite cruelly. I was surprised he behaved that way towards their child and Helena considering all he sacrificed to keep Helena in his life and at the estate. Perhaps he did not consider what he lost as a sacrifice but as things that were stolen from him by Chloe and now, the emperor. Helena too did not comprehend personal accountability nor being responsible for one’s own actions. Those two shared quite a few undesirable traits. The most surprising one being how entitled they behaved considering their stations.
He also will not consider the fact that Chole has no motive to kill Helena, nor will he consider a possible 3rd party as the murderer. (I am reminding myself it is not nice to call names or use insulting words towards people, even if those people are characters that do not exist in 3D.)
