Conrad hastily turned to the next page.
[Dash] The table manners were not elegant. Father said his taste was poor. I must never be like that. Let’s keep thinking, Olivia. Don’t make mistakes and always do your best.The next page, and the next. The content was similar. It was all about self-deprecation in response to the family’s ridicule.
Conrad’s name also appeared several times. Events I couldn’t even remember were detailed. And after that, the following words were always the same.
[Dash] Never be like that, Olivia. Don’t make mistakes, and let’s think for ourselves.Conrad’s hands trembled. Five books with the same content. Then, was all the content like this?
“What…”
Unknowingly, Conrad let go of the diary. As it fell to the desk, the diary flipped open, revealing the first page. The writing, spread in various places, was pitifully crooked. However, Conrad couldn’t bring himself to call this writing terrible.
[Dash] Perhaps, the very fact that I came here,The next sentence that was written caught his eye naturally.
[Dash] Even if you have to write it down, memorize it. Conrad said so. Write it down and memorize it. Olivia, you can do it.Conrad unknowingly bit his lip. And he groped for memories. I had never said such kind words to Olivia.
When I was young, I always got angry and cursed her. And as I grew up, I ignored her.
A faint image of a little girl came to his mind. And at the same time, a voice accusing and blaming resounded in his ears.
“It’s because of you! If you can’t understand, write it down and memorize it! It’s because of you! Shrink and live without standing out!”
As the voice in his memory grew louder, Conrad’s eyes widened. His hands were trembling.
He remembered.
Twelve, the image of me resenting Olivia while writing cruel words.
“Sorry… Brother.”
And six. Olivia silently bowing her head after hearing those harsh words. When those wicked eyes met mine.
Conrad held his breath for a moment.
A calamity I had hated all my life.
The sin that made my mother die and made this house desolate.
I had forgotten.
At that time, Olivia was only six years old.
A six-year-old writing such crooked words.
A little girl who followed the family with longing eyes. A child who, with eager green eyes, constantly followed the family.
Conrad’s eyes, uncertain about what to do, shook uncontrollably. As if wanting to escape, he continued to look elsewhere. Conrad, who turned his gaze, froze like ice.
Coincidentally, the place he turned to was the head of the bed. There was a small rabbit doll. At a glance, it seemed to be a rabbit doll that the owner cherished.
It was no different in size from the rabbit doll that Jade had given Esella in childhood.
Esella had already discarded the doll for several years, and at the same time, a profound emotion, chilling enough to make one shiver, surged through him.
As much as he had ignored it until now, it became sharper.
After the decision on the protocol between the Grand Duke and the young lady, the Grand Duke’s residence was in an uproar.
“How long has it been since you came that you suddenly decided to go to the protocol like this…!”
It wasn’t a problem to pack in a hurry. As the knights who had just sworn allegiance to the young lady, familiar attendants, and even the servants gathered, they all expressed their regret whenever they met.
“And you’re going quietly tomorrow dawn. Really. Not even allowing us to bid farewell.”
It was the same on the late evening before departure.
Olivia blinked for a moment at the sorrowful voice coming through the open balcony door. Berny, who was checking the luggage for the last time, also had the same surprised expression.
In a hurry, a maid walked towards the balcony door to close it. In the meantime, the conversation continued rapidly.
“Anyway, it’s a problem with the royal palace. How can they be so busy holding a banquet…!”
“That’s right. She only finished the Yeonibu Street now and took a sigh of relief.”
“Could it be that they’re asking you to return from the royal palace?”
“Come to think of it, didn’t Kalter say he gave an invitation?”
“No, did he say it was given by the royal palace to the young lady?”
It was a voice that complained as if coming from a toxic substance as if coming from the royal palace was poison.
Hey, your voice is too loud! Along with the words scolding from the side, the maid closed the door.
The maid who turned around smiled prettily.
“Everyone seems so sorry that the young lady is going to the protocol.”
“That’s right. We really want to give you a proper send-off.”
Subtly, one maid revealed her disappointed feelings. The other maids nodded in agreement, as if implying the same.
But the young lady just smiled without changing her mind. She knew the servants would be busy early in the morning, but that didn’t make the regret disappear.
“Instead of a farewell, you can double the welcome when I return.”
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…?
