Yet, as if concerned, Belred once more cradled the back of her head. In doing so, their bodies came even closer together.
“……!”
His knee wedged between Beryl’s slightly parted legs.
Through the gap in the raised Belred’s shirt, a glimpse of solid muscle was visible. Unconsciously, Beryl’s gaze fixed on it, then she tightly closed her eyes.
“Are you alright?”
Again, concern poured out. Really, she was fine. There was nothing wrong.
Beryl tried hard to hold back her rising breath, fearing he might worry.
“Relax.”
Belred, who promptly noticed, whispered in her ear.
The softly whispered words were truly filled with consideration. Unwittingly, Beryl clenched the bedsheet tightly.
“……I will.”
Her voice quivered slightly. She was confused whether the trembling was due to nervousness, or anticipation and exhilaration before holding what she wanted.
Belred, who was observing her, whispered again.
“You’re warm, Beryl.”
“……Well,”
Beryl couldn’t bring herself to say it. It’s because of you.
However, Belred’s hand repeatedly touched her forehead.
“You have a fever.”
Heat layered upon warmth.
“That’s not it,”
Beryl’s mouth opened and closed. She couldn’t articulate that she’d been filled with strange expectations from the moment he touched her.
That he made her feel an expectation she never thought she would feel in her lifetime.
“Is that so?”
―Smack.
Belred asked, pressing his lips against the bridge of her nose. As if encouraging her to speak her mind.
In other words, as if he would finally hear her answer.
Eventually, Beryl spoke in a small voice.
“……It’s because it’s nighttime.”
Whether it was because he was preoccupied, he looked at her with concern, but it was unclear what he was thinking.
Finally, Beryl said,
“It’s because I’m with you, at night.”
Saying that, Beryl’s face turned bright red. Belred was silent for a moment.
“…….”
Unable to meet his gaze, she turned her head to the side. A low chuckle from Belred penetrated the silence.
“Is that so, then.”
Smack, he softly tickled the bridge of her nose once more before asking,
“Is it because of me?”
His voice, asking that, was noticeably lighter than before.
“Am I the one making you feel this way?”
He whispered, placing the back of his hand against her flushed cheek and ear.
“Making you quiver, with your face flushed like this,”
He moved his hand down to grasp Beryl’s, the one tightly holding the bedsheet.
“Is it because of me that you’re holding something back, gripping something so tightly?”
Beryl gave a slight nod. How could she deny it when her body instinctively reacts every time he touches her?
Belred chuckled again.
“I told you not to hold back. I didn’t intend to teach you how to restrain yourself.”
He pressed his lips to her ear. The warmth that swept down as if to devour her neck met her soft earlobe.
“……!”
To her who quivered at the sensation, Belred whispered,
“I’ve been focused on other things and failed to pay attention to you.”
His strong arms caught her slightly trembling body. The two became inseparably close.
“Finally, are your desires starting to show?”
“……!”
At those words, Beryl felt her face burn as if on fire.
It meant he had realized what she wanted, what she couldn’t deny even if she wanted to.
“Do you desire the night?”
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…?
