Spent the First Night with the Male Lead, Thinking I Was Terminal (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 118
Clea, having decided that further conversation with Lloyd would be too difficult after what had happened, stepped outside to return to the imperial palace.
Many people followed behind her to see her off.
“I’m truly sorry. Despite us being right beside you, for something like this to happen…”
The Grand Duke bowed his head as though he were the one at fault and apologized to Clea.
Clea felt uneasy at his gesture. After all, he was someone who had never needed to bow and apologize to anyone before.
So she wanted to comfort him, even if just a little.
“Please don’t apologize. It was Lloyd acting on his own again, so there’s no need for you to bow your head like that.”
Back in their academy days, she might have blamed the Grand Duke and his wife as parents for failing to guide him properly.
But Lloyd was now a full-grown adult.
Though old enough to take care of himself, he continued causing trouble for those around him with his reckless behavior.
Thus, Clea sincerely believed they had no reason to apologize.
“On the contrary, I’m only grateful that you’ve allowed me to act as I saw fit.”
When Lloyd had appeared before her, Clea had assumed he’d soon be seized by the knights and driven away.
But contrary to her expectations, he pointed a sword at her—worse yet, a sword stained with fresh blood.
Since he had so brazenly crossed the line first, Clea had no choice but to settle the score.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
So now the other nobles can oppose her with the excuse of her being a commoner anymore. 😤
He’s going to get kicked out a second time lol. Or they’re going to use him as a scapegoat for Airhead’s next attempt.
I’m guessing he planned this? I thought he didn’t want to bother with Lloyd tho?
