Second Male Lead, You Said It Was A Contract Marriage? (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 048
Did I really say that? I guess I’ve been sleeping more lately! Don’t worry about it.
“Are you sure I shouldn’t worry?”
“Yes. It’s fine. You should just go finish your training, Yezar.”
Her smile seemed somehow awkward. Now that he thought about it, she had looked the same during their conversations before sleep. She used to greet him with bright, sparkling eyes whenever he arrived.
Lately, though, when he opened the door, it was a drowsy Julietta dozing off in her chair who greeted him. When he tried to pick her up gently and carry her to bed out of guilt for waking her, she would finally stir and cry out in apology.
“Ye… Yezar? Goodness. Did I fall asleep? I’m awake now, so please put me down!”
“You look tired. Please rest, my lady.”
“No, I can’t! We have to talk before I sleep! If not now, then when will we ever talk?”
Moreover, when he rose early in the morning, the calm, steady breathing of the woman who should have been sound asleep beside him sounded different. It was as if she were pretending to be asleep while actually wide awake.
After he left the bedroom, he could even hear faint rustling sounds from inside. Yezar had tried his best not to show it until Julietta spoke up, but he grew increasingly anxious knowing she was hiding something from him.
“What on earth could she be doing to be so exhausted? Could it be… that my lady finds our married life boring?”
The thought spiraled out of control. Restless and uneasy, Yezar began to reproach himself for being such an impatient man.
Overwhelmed by questions rising to the tip of his tongue, Yezar finally decided to give up and confront her directly. But he couldn’t ask her in the training grounds with the knights around, so he waited until nightfall.
He finished his duties earlier than usual, focused and hurried to the bedroom—only to find the window wide open.
“Why is the window open?”
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!
