“There’s nothing more to lose; I’m already exposed. Whether I get caught by Liurian here or in the crown prince’s palace, he won’t leave me be either way.”
Felix shrugged and spoke with a nonchalant tone. Evelia, who was walking toward the table, stopped and looked at Felix discontentedly.
“That’s your problem, Felix. I don’t want the treatment you get, nor do I want to displease His Highness.”
She was extremely firm, making Felix feel awkward.
“Lonely, isn’t it, when you don’t have a partner.”
“Felix!”
“Fine, fine. You’re right, Evelia. I came because I have a question for you.”
“Then ask it quickly and leave.”
Evelia narrowed her eyes, clearly expressing her intent. A vexed Felix followed her towards the table.
As they sat facing each other, Evelia’s guarded expression became even clearer. What could be so serious? An inexplicable sadness washed over him.
“Let’s get to the point, shall we? Change that look on your face. Anyone would think I’m harassing you.”
“If you had gone straight to the point instead of complaining, it would’ve been better.”
“Damn, you give no quarter. Just like the crown prince and his consort.”
“Felix, do I need to repeat myself? Get to the point.”
“Alright. So, what I’m curious about is—”
“Yes?”
“Is there any event from your childhood that stands out to you, or…”
Felix’s gaze wavered for a moment. It was because of a book on the table. The word ‘Tritan’ on the spine looked very familiar.
Why would Evelia have a book about Tritan…?
Lost in thought, Felix soon fixed his eyes on Evelia. Her innocent face was looking right at him.
“Felix?”
“…”
“Felix!”
“Ah.”
Felix, who had zoned out, uttered a short sound. Then he stared at Evelia again. Creases had already formed on her forehead.
He blinked rapidly to clear his mind and moistened his lips that had been pointlessly parted.
“Ah, so what I was trying to say was, did you have any particularly memorable experiences when you were young? Yeah, that’s what I wanted to ask.”
Felix, who had barely managed to ask the question, took a deep breath. He felt slightly bewildered. It felt strange thinking that Evelia was talking about a kingdom that had already been destroyed and vanished.
It was a pointless emotion. Judging by her expression, it was clear she was speaking without any real significance.
Felix made an effort to organize his clouded thoughts.
“Why are you asking about my childhood all of a sudden?”
“Just curious.”
“You seem to be curious about a lot of things.”
Evelia tilted her head as if willing to listen to anything. Yet, she earnestly answered Felix’s question.
“There’s nothing special. Just an ordinary childhood that anyone could have had.”
“Think about it carefully. Was there really nothing unusual?”
“Um, nothing really memorable. I was often sick when I was young.”
“Ah, I think I heard you were in a health resort territory.”
“A health resort?”
Felix, who had been half lost in the conversation, suddenly focused his eyes. It was a mistake. He had heard about Evelia being in the health resort territory from Kalif.
“Ah, sorry. I misspoke.”
Felix hurriedly corrected himself, acting nonchalant. Fortunately, Evelia seemed to have no suspicions.
But then again.
Felix, who had instinctively let out a sigh of relief, looked back at Evelia again.
“Ah, but if you were unwell, didn’t you go to a health resort or something? Wasn’t your condition that bad?”
Felix cautiously asked. According to what he had heard from Kalif, frail Evelia had come to the Caroline March after going to a health resort. But judging by Evelia’s current expression, it seemed she knew nothing about any health resort.
“I was quite frail, but I never went to a health resort territory. My father was an aide to His Imperial Majesty at the time, and if I were to go to a territory, he’d have to send me alone. He couldn’t bear to do that, he said.”
“I see.”
“Yes. But I think I wanted to go to a place with good air to rest, even if I was alone.”
“…Why?”
“I had dreams quite often.”
“Dreams?”
“Yes.”
Evelia nodded with a bright smile. Felix couldn’t take his eyes off her.
“I often dreamed of happily spending time in the southern territory.”
Although it was clear that both had spent time together, this story was very different from what Kalif remembered.
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…?
