Pregnant With The Wolf's Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 23
“…I thought you’d figure it out right away.”
Jade gave a scoffing laugh at my words.
“Larien. You couldn’t possibly be that kind of person to me.”
Beneath those words lingered anger as well.
His eyes held a reproachful look, as if blaming me for expecting he’d move on so easily.
It was a painful confession—saying he’d wanted to die, but couldn’t because I’d told him to live.
I’d assumed my death wouldn’t matter much to anyone.
Unaware that his assumption was completely wrong, Jade had simply decided it would be that way.
‘I thought I knew Jade well, but apparently not at all.’
He’d left behind a cruel letter telling me to live.
So I lived—by abandoning Jade.
His words, that he’d survived because he couldn’t abandon me, told me all I needed to know about how he’d lived since, even without hearing more.
‘He endured all this time, holding onto the memories we built together.’
The crackling of burning firewood seeped into the air as we shared a quiet breath.
We’d come too far to still share the kind of breath we’d never dared exhale in front of each other until now.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!

The evidence is stacking and yet this man is as clueless as ever.
Charlotte seems to be the antagonist or at least a minor one.
*sigh* another child is on the way. I wonder if he’ll deny it again?
