Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 62
Meeting his blue eyes, I suddenly felt embarrassed. Feeling heat rush to my face, I hastily pulled my hand away and turned toward the library.
“That’s enough comforting here! Let’s hurry to the library.”
“Isn’t that too short? I still haven’t shaken off this lonely, bitter feeling. You could’ve kept stroking my head a bit longer.”
“What’s good about that? Not in front of so many people. Just come on already.”
He, who had softened gently, followed right behind me with a sullen expression. Ah, even though he’s a full-grown adult acting like a child, instead of finding it annoying, I only thought it was adorable. I guess I’m endlessly indulgent when it comes to Ian alone.
“Do you know how Count McKane and Ileina got married?”
“No, but wait—Jane, you call Count McKane’s wife by her first name, yet you always refer to Shuri McKane with his full title, even adding ‘Count’ every single time.”
I awkwardly scratched my head at his remark. Truthfully, although Shuri was on my mind, I couldn’t help still feeling distant from him. It made me feel oddly guilty, too.
“Ileina and I spend a lot of time together and talk often, so I’ve gotten used to her. But Count McKane still feels awkward. Calling him by his name feels strange, and calling him ‘older brother’ feels even stranger… I should probably adjust gradually, but for now, ‘Count McKane’ feels more comfortable.”
When I said I still found ‘Count McKane’ uncomfortable to use, Ian looked inexplicably pleased. Regardless of his mood, I continued what I’d been about to say.
“Anyway, could you tell me how that Count McKane and his wife ended up marrying? Sometimes I watch the two of them and honestly can’t fathom how they got together. Of course, I’ve heard that Ileina was the one who eagerly proposed marriage to Count McKane, but I just can’t picture it.”
“Ah… you mean those two?”
“Yes. I heard Ileina was incredibly popular—practically called the queen of high society. A stunning beauty from a prestigious noble family, with a wonderfully kind personality. She was exactly the sort of woman any man would dream of.”
“Well, she truly was among the most popular figures in the entire Carlobanian Empire. Every day, matchmakers flooded her family’s doorstep.”
“Compared to her, Count McKane didn’t seem to have much going for him. Of course, he’s the capable man who revived his fallen house without anyone’s help and is the Emperor’s most trusted knight—but his personality is so reserved and stone-cold that I simply can’t imagine Count McKane whispering sweet words to court someone.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
