No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 21
After finally putting the sobbing Ariante to bed, Meiana felt utterly drained, as if her body and mind had turned into waterlogged cotton.
Even on ordinary days, getting Ariante to sleep was no simple task—since she rarely wanted to go to bed—but calming a hysterical child enough to fall asleep was nothing short of hard labor.
Today had been even more exhausting because she couldn’t focus solely on putting Ariante to sleep. The words Ariante had shouted like a thunderclap kept echoing in her mind, as if permanently etched there.
[“You’re saying you love another child more than me.”]
Another child? What on earth did that mean? Did the Duke have another child besides Ariante?
‘I thought he was just handsome—turns out he’s a womanizer?’
Meiana thought grumpily.
Then again, who could say? Nobles often kept mistresses. Children born from such affairs usually couldn’t join the noble house, but there were cases where a mistress’s child supplanted the legitimate heir and inherited the family line.
The royal family had even enacted a law explicitly stating, “Illegitimate children cannot inherit the throne,” to prevent such situations… but that didn’t stop royals from keeping mistresses.
‘If there really is another child besides Ariante… then where on earth could that child be right now?’
The Duke only occasionally traveled to and from the capital for work; otherwise, he remained in his duchy.
Surely the mistress and her child couldn’t be inside the duchy itself—so they were probably in the capital… If that were true, Meiana felt she could slap Sediloi right this instant.
Did he even realize what he was doing to his own children?
But he didn’t seem like that despicable a man…
“Meiana.”
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.”
It was her who made that old lady blind?? What an awful person……or maybe not, but still she is really disgusting.
BOY DONT PLAY WITH ME. OMG NO WONDER THE CHILD IS BEHAVING LIKE LOOSE GOOSE
Very matured. Just blaming anyone but yourself on your inadequacy.
