“Shouldn’t you get a checkup, too, Eric?”
“Huh?”
“Isn’t your arm hurting?”
“Oh.”
Only then did Eric grab his right arm.
It was the arm that was injured when he caught Alicia falling.
“I’m okay. I’m planning to see the priest tomorrow.”
“You’re a swordsman, so you should get treatment quickly.”
“Yes, I will do that.”
Although he smiled awkwardly, seeing Eric still not looking well, the Countess of Lancaster frowned.
“You need to rest too, Eric.”
“Ah, yes. Then I’ll take my leave.”
“Alright. You worked hard today.”
“…I’m sorry. I’m sure you were very angry, but I’ll be careful not to let this happen again.”
“I think the anger was on your side, not mine, Eric.”
“……”
Eric closed his mouth.
He didn’t know what this feeling was until he heard it, but it seemed like the Countess was right.
“Sometimes there are things you can’t do with your own strength.”
“Yes.”
“It’s admirable that you want to protect Alicia, but you have to realize that there are times when you can’t. And that it’s not your fault.”
“……Yes.”
“Also, our Alicia is not that weak. So don’t be so angry at yourself.”
The identity of the emotion that even Eric hadn’t noticed became clearer.
That didn’t mean the emotion had faded.
“I didn’t know myself, how did you know?”
“Hmm?”
“I didn’t know I was angry.”
“Well, I’ve had a similar experience, that’s all.”
“A similar experience?”
But the Countess just smiled and didn’t say anything more.
Since a similar experience didn’t seem like a good thing and she seemed to be saying not to ask, Eric closed his mouth silently.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Eric arrived at the mansion earlier than usual after work.
He had brought things to handle urgently because he left work early due to joint training preparations, but he couldn’t just miss Alicia, who had come to the Russell Earl’s residence after a long time.
As soon as he entered the mansion cheerfully, small figures ran towards Eric.
“Huh?”
“Did you return?”
“You guys.”
When Eric, who almost lost his balance, looked down, Ryan and Laila were hanging on each side of his leg, looking up and laughing.
“Ryan, Laila!”
Then he heard a welcoming voice, and Eric raised his head.
“Alicia.”
“Welcome back, Eric.”
“You seem really okay now?”
“I’m completely better. It’s embarrassing to even say I was sick.”
“I was worried because you hurt your head. That’s a relief.”
“How about your arm?”
“Arm? Oh, the arm. It’s fine.”
Of course, William gave him a good scolding for hurting his arm, especially the right one, which he uses to hold the sword, ahead of an important event.
However, with the combination of the priest’s concentrated treatment, it was inconvenient for about two days, but it recovered quickly, so there was no problem with daily life and even intense training.
“But what’s going on with these kids?”
“Ah. The nanny is on vacation, and Edward and Emma are late due to a school event. I had no one to help.”
“It must have been hard on your own.”
While Eric was pondering how to detach the twins who were still clinging to his legs, the Duke and Duchess appeared.
“Why aren’t you coming in?”
“……Why are you here?”
“I, I. They said raising a son is pointless.”
“They said they were passing by and stopped by. They thought we might have dinner together.”
“Is it necessary?”
“Don’t you think we came to see you? We came because Alicia was sick. We can do without you.”
“Shall we go in first?”
Between the quarreling Eric and the Duke and Duchess, Alicia urged them on with an awkward smile.
“Ryan, Laila. Come here. Let’s go inside.”
“I want to go with you, big brother.”
As Ryan clung to Eric, Laila also clung to Eric from the other side in the same way.
“All right, let’s go in with me.”
Eric, holding one in each arm, entered the mansion.
Alicia and the Duke and Duchess followed him.
“They say he loves children, it seems to be true. Did you know?”
“I guess so, dear. I’ve seen all sorts of things in my life, it must be time for me to die.”
‘Please stop.’
Despite trying to ignore the teasing words of his parents, it was terribly embarrassing.
Alicia, who had been looking at the Duke and Duchess and Eric in surprise, quietly asked.
“You do love children, right?”
“……My parents wouldn’t know.”
“Why?”
“Because they’ve never seen me with kids.”
“Ah.”
Since he seemed embarrassed, Alicia nodded her head and didn’t ask any further.
The Duchess, who had been following behind, opened her mouth to Eric.
“Kid, change your clothes quickly and come down. The children must be hungry.”
“Yes.”
“Eric. Give the children here.”
“No! Not going.”
“Eek.”
Because the twins held on tightly from both sides, Eric’s neck was choked.
“Ryan, Laila. If you hold on so tightly, what if it hurts! It would hurt!”
“Leave it. I’ll take them up and we’ll come down together.”
“Will it be okay?”
“Then follow.”
Alicia, who seemed worried about him taking the twins alone, caught Eric’s pleading look and nodded her head.
“Then we’ll all go up together and come down together.”
It was a little embarrassing because of the smiling faces of the Duke and Duchess, but they pretended not to know and went up to the second floor.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“You need to change your clothes, so come down now.”
At Alicia’s words, Ryan and Laila obediently sat on the bed as Eric put them down.
“Gosh. It seems the kids have gotten heavier?”
“It feels like they’re growing up quickly.”
“Indeed.”
Eric began to untie his tie and take off his jacket, then hesitated and looked at the bedroom door.
‘Why isn’t anyone coming in? Who’s going to look after them?’
Then he looked at Alicia, who was soothing Ryan and Laila on the bed.
‘Ah, so that’s why no one is coming in. Where are the clothes to change into?’
As he was unbuttoning his shirt and about to turn towards the dressing room,
That’s when Alicia’s urgent voice was heard and he looked back towards the bed.
“What are you doing?”
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…?
