“You dare…! Who gave you the right to speak of divorce!”
“Mother, that’s because…”
“Shut up! I’ve pampered you so much that you’ve lost your mind. Lock this girl up in the basement…!”
“Madam!”
Just as Feria was about to grab my hair, a maid hurried into the room.
“What now!”
“Um… The young master of Ersian is here…”
The maid glanced at me.
“He wants to see Miss Roel right now…”
Seeing my disheveled hair and my cheek swollen red, the maid quickly looked away as if she saw something she shouldn’t have.
Realizing what she’s done, Feria turned to me, her hand gripping my chin with a chill colder than a blade’s edge. Her gaze lingered on my cheek for a long time.
“Fix her up as best as you can and send her up immediately.”
Entering the drawing room, I saw Casien comfortably lounging in his usual chair.
I had no desire or intention to get involved with him anymore, but should I be grateful for a brief respite from danger…
Yet, thinking of the turmoil he would cause made me feel more exhausted than grateful.
“Casien. Why are you here?”
“Ro…”
Casien widened his eyes for a moment, then abruptly got up and approached me.
“What happened to your face?”
The maids tried to cover it with makeup, but they couldn’t hide the swelling completely. I turned my head to hide the bruised side.
“Roel.”
“Let go of me.”
I brushed away Casien’s hand, which was cautiously touching my face, and headed to a chair as if nothing happened. Casien, who had been standing silently, finally sat down beside me.
“Let me see your face, Roel.”
“Why? Want to have a good look?”
My cold response made Casien’s outstretched hand pause awkwardly.
“Isn’t this what you wanted? Isn’t it?”
“Ha, Roel, why would I…”
“If you’re done looking, can you leave now? We’re practically divorced, there’s no reason for us to sit face to face anymore.”
Before I even finished speaking, an annoyed look crossed Casien’s face.
“I’m not going anywhere. The conversation isn’t even over.”
“I’m not in the mood for word games. So please, just leave.”
Despite my firm tone, Casien leaned back in his chair, as if taunting me.
Angered by his behavior, I grabbed his hand to pull him out of the chair with all my might.
“Leave, Casien! Now… uh!”
Instead of pulling him out, I was overpowered and ended up sitting on his thighs.
Casien took advantage of my momentary surprise, wrapped his arms around my waist, and prevented me from standing up. Then he said something absurd.
“Marry me.”
“Are you crazy? Saying that now?”
“You feel it too. That we can’t be apart.”
“…….”
“Let’s admit it. Stop resisting, okay?”
“No.”
“Why do you keep making it hard for yourself?”
“I will never marry you, Casien.”
An eerie silence fell in the drawing room. Casien stared at me without blinking.
After a while, I thought he might have been shocked by my response, but then his eyes curved beautifully.
“Okay, Roel. If that’s what you want, we’ll do it your way.”
His unexpected response made me ask like a fool.
“…What?”
“Throw your tantrums. Push me away as much as you want. I’ll take it all.”
“…….”
“Just know one thing.”
Casien tightened his grip around my waist and pulled me closer, whispering in a low voice.
“The only place you’ll return to is by my side.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
