My Mistress Became My Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 147
“Sister!”
Lily, who had been burying her face in Harold’s chest as if she’d stay there forever, turned her head at the sound of her mother’s familiar voice. A short distance away, Grace Benjamin was beaming and waving at her. Aside from her clothes being slightly soot-stained and minor cuts on her arms and legs, she seemed perfectly fine.
Lily, momentarily stunned as she stared blankly at her mother—who seemed even happier than usual—turned back to Harold. Their eyes met, and he smiled, his eyes curving into crescent moons. Soot clung thickly around his jawline, accentuating a small scratch no bigger than a pinky fingernail.
“I kept my promise.”
He must be referring to his vow to find Grace Benjamin and bring her back. The very promise that had sent Harold rushing headlong into danger.
Truthfully, Lily had already given up hope of her mother returning alive. After all, her room had been on the third floor—the origin and epicenter of the fire. She’d even heard that no one from that area had escaped the hospital unscathed.
And yet… her mother was back, safe and sound.
Overwhelmed by indescribable emotion, Lily’s chest tightened, and her green eyes shimmered with unshed tears. She wanted to thank Harold, but her throat was too choked up for words. All she could manage was to grip his lapel a little tighter.
As if understanding everything without a word, Harold gave a faint smile and gently clasped her injured hand.
“I’ve kept my promise—now you keep yours.”
Promise? Confused by his cryptic remark, Lily blinked slowly, her damp lashes fluttering as she looked up at him.
Pleased to see his own reflection filling her green eyes, Harold smiled so widely that his dimples appeared. The gauntness that even the maids’ meticulous efforts couldn’t hide was now completely gone.
“You did promise to grant me anything I wanted, as long as I returned alive, didn’t you?”
“…!”
Lily’s eyes widened as she recalled the desperate, guilt-ridden words she’d blurted out. Harold pressed his forehead gently against hers, his expression clearly troubled.
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…
