Kevrant, who had entered the room, widened his eyes at the sight of Iris standing in front of the mirror.
Soon he approached behind Iris with a faint smile, embracing her slim waist with one arm.
His lips naturally touched Iris’s neck.
Her hot breath spread to Iris’s collarbone.
Although she should have been accustomed to this natural skinship, she couldn’t understand why she felt tense and hot every time they touched.
Kevrant rested his chin on Iris’s shoulder and stared at Iris reflected in the mirror.
His gray eyes subtly swept down Iris in the mirror.
“You’re beautiful, Iris.”
“So are you.”
It wasn’t a lie.
Kevrant, dressed in a party suit, looked remarkably handsome.
Even his usually unkempt hair was neatly swept back and fixed using pomade this time.
The thick eyebrows beneath his straight forehead were more impressive than usual.
“I heard you had Jamie do something. But he wouldn’t tell me what it is. What have you done with my subordinate?”
“He didn’t grill or boil, but he just folded his wings. He must have learned well from his master.”
It was a joke, but Kevrant’s eyes darkened.
Kevrant turned Iris to face him.
“How won’t you tell? What will Jamie turn into?”
She almost blurted out, but she didn’t fluster.
Such things will be commonplace in the future.
Things that only Iris should know.
“Is that important?”
Iris asked calmly.
“It’s important. But you won’t tell me.”
“Not yet.”
“Will you tell me someday?”
Iris herself couldn’t tell.
She had lived once and died once.
She thought it was over, but she lived twice.
Would there be someone who would easily believe that?
Even if they believe, would there be anyone who wouldn’t regard a person who came back in time and lived again as a witch?
Just because she came back to life in time, she didn’t gain any special abilities.
‘I don’t even have the strength to protect myself. That’s why I relied on this man.’
Iris looked into Kevrant’s eyes.
His eyes were so deep and cold that she couldn’t tell what he was thinking. It was hard to predict how he would act if he knew she had come back in time.
The wounds she received from people in her past life have not healed at all, so Iris could not trust anyone. Even if they’re friendly now, you never know when they might turn.
Iris poked Kevrant’s sturdy chest with her index finger.
“I’ll watch what you do.”
Kevrant’s eyes narrowed. The coldness disappeared, and a warm affection took its place.
“I will have to do better. I have a personality that must find out what I’m curious about.”
“I’ll look forward to it.”
“You should be nervous. Because I’ll surprise you.”

Despite being a spacious place, the bar ‘Tony’s Cave’ was filled with so many people that it could not accommodate them all.
Buffets and tables were set up in the square next to Tony’s Cave, so those who couldn’t enter the bar gathered in the square, waiting for Lady Green.
Soon, when the carriage of the Green family arrived, the people scattered around the street gathered around the road.
There were curtains on the carriage windows, so even though they couldn’t see the countess inside, they all leaned in, hoping to see something.
When the carriage stopped in front of Tony’s bar, the noisy square became quiet.
Thud
The sound of the carriage door opening echoed in the silence.
The first to get out was Kevrant.
At his godlike appearance, a few women let out small exclamations of admiration.
When Kevrant extended his hand inside the carriage, a beautiful and small hand was placed on his large palm.
Just the hand came out, but people swallowed their dry saliva.
The moment Iris Green showed herself.
People stared at her, unable to even swallow their dry saliva.
Her shining silver hair shone brilliantly in the sun, a light skyblue elegant dress perfectly matched her white and delicate skin. Her big features on her small face were as perfect as if God had made them with all his strength.
The flower of the Witley Duke House.
She was so dazzling that even the adjectives to describe her were colorless.
She looked pure, elegant, and arrogant. Her slowly looking around as she descended from the carriage was as beautiful as it felt unreal.
People watched Iris, forgetting even to breathe.
Her thick, red lips slowly parted.
“Oh my.”
A small sigh escaped.
And a gentle smile spread across Lisi’s face.
“I didn’t expect so many to come. I’m pleased.”
At that moment, people were overwhelmed by the fact that they had pleased her.
The moment of enchanting silence was broken by the sound of an approaching carriage.
Only then did the people snap out of it.
Coming out of the surreal experience that felt like walking on heavenly clouds, they annoyingly glared at the approaching carriage.
Lisi too, turned her head to stare at the carriage.
It was the carriage of the Merdi Viscount.
At the sight of Jilette stepping out of the carriage, everyone present could not hide their astonishment.
It was because of her flamboyant dress.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
