Strategic Marriage with the Mad Villain (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 102

It had seemed like the wind was picking up little by little since a few days ago, and sure enough, the weather felt ominous from the moment I woke up. Staring out the window at the gloomy scenery only made my mood grow heavier.

‘He’s not coming again today either, is he… Reus?’

For the past three days, I’d kept cycling between hope and disappointment—but Reus never showed up in the end.

At this point, I should’ve accepted it already, yet whenever I snapped back to my senses, I’d find myself gazing at the bedroom door or feeling a surge of hope at the slightest sound.

First, the glass greenhouse where we’d held our wedding. Next, the garden where we’d taken walks every day.

Finally, the library—the place where we’d spent the most time together.
