“…Haha. Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I haven’t eaten turkey meat, Milady.”
But of all places, it had to be this restaurant that caught his eye.
The first time the lady came to Vykander, the restaurant where she tasted turkey meat was “Where the Wind Touches.”
As if gauging her inner thoughts, the lady’s eyes narrowed gradually.
She had to say something. When she brought up the topic of turkey, memories of eating turkey on the battlefield naturally came to her mind.
“Of course, it’s delicious there too, but the turkey meat our dear patron sent while we were on the battlefield was truly delicious.”
“Our patron sent turkey?”
Somehow, Dian’s inquiring voice trembled a bit. Normally, he would have quickly grasped the situation, but now, he was eager to please as the conversation topic had changed.
“Yes, it was from Lord Rib Green. He was a very kind person who always sponsored our knights during the war with Hepherti. I never imagined that he would send us turkeys on the battlefield. I really wanted to meet him, but unfortunately…….”.
Dian’s excited voice faded away from Olivia’s ears. Olivia held her two hands.
Could it be?
It turns out Dian was at the place where I sent support for Jade. In that case, Edwin must have been there too.
How could such a coincidence happen? With amazement, Olivia remembered the ‘Nameless Knight,’ her pen pal for the first time in a while.
Could that knight be in Vykander? Could it possibly be Dian?
Olivia’s heartbeat quickened at the unexpected thought.
“Yes?”
“What?”
“Well, it seemed like you were going to say something.”
“No, Dian.”
Olivia smiled.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, but fortunately, from Dian’s perspective, it was an invisible position. It was fortunate that Dian nonchalantly passed it by.
At least until I gained the hearts of all of Vykander, I couldn’t reveal the fact that I was ‘Rib Green.’
But at the same time, I wanted to meet the ‘Nameless Knight.’ Feeling frustrated, Olivia lowered her head for a moment.
“I greet the Grand Duke.”
It was then. Amidst the fading sounds, the word ‘Grand Duke’ was heard as if stuck. Suddenly, the surroundings were filled with cheers. Simultaneously, with the sound of horse hooves, the carriage came to a complete stop.
Reflexively, Olivia looked out the window.
Edwin, who knows when he arrived, opened the carriage door and came in gracefully. A bright smile adorned his beautiful face as if he were delighted to meet Olivia.
“Olivia didn’t come out to welcome me because I thought you wouldn’t. Yet, we meet like this?”
“Lies.”
Facing Edwin’s cheeky face, Olivia cast a delicate sidelong glance. Edwin blinked exaggeratedly.
“Did I give it away?”
“A little?”
“To be honest, I came because I missed you.”
Olivia blinked. Edwin casually dropped such sweet words without warning and only made her laugh.
She felt her face heating up. A few days ago, the kiss on her cheek felt insignificant compared to how her mouth was not cooperating now.
“…Me too.”
A word slipped out unconsciously between her lips. At that one word, Edwin’s eyes widened.
Watching his reaction, Olivia slowly realized the strange source of courage spreading from one corner of her heart.
“So, I’m glad Edwin came.”
Ah, this honest Vykander.
Since deciding to like it, I had been gradually becoming more like this Vykander.
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.”
