“Did you have a good conversation with Mrs. Fisher?”
“Yes. For now.”
It was a lie.
Right now, I was not in the state to converse with Margaret.
I stared at him intently.
The ends of Bake’s hair, which I couldn’t dry in time, were wet.
“Did you shower?”
“I showered as soon as I got to the room.”
“That’s surprising.”
“What is?”
As Bake approached, a familiar scent wafted.
It was the scent of his cologne I knew.
“I thought you had taken a shower.”
Externally I acted calm, but my heart pounded violently.
“What are you talking about? Me, showering?”
“The smell of soap is coming from you.”
Even as I smiled, I scrutinized Bake’s reaction meticulously.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, his reaction was no different from usual.
“Oh, that’s because I met Hunter today.”
“The one who loves horse riding?”
“Yes, that person.”
Bake let out a deep sigh as if tired by the mere thought, then continued.
“I had no plans to meet him, intended to decline, but he pleaded so much I couldn’t refuse. Thanks to him, I sweated a bit at the riding field which wasn’t even in my schedule.”
“You must be tired after exercising after a long time.”
“But I still have enough energy to spend quality time with you.”
“Really?”
“Yes. So you should hurry and take a shower too. Or would you rather just drink?”
Bake pointed to the preset table with his chin.
One of the two prepared glasses was already filled with wine.
“For the record, I’m okay with the latter, but you don’t like it.”
Whether he misinterpreted my silence or not, Bake squinted his eyes.
I quickly opened my mouth to the approaching Bake.
“I will go and take a shower.”
“I was hoping for a different answer, what a shame.”
“I should shower after going out.”
I replied nonchalantly and headed straight to the bathroom.
As soon as the door closed, I slumped down to the floor.
My body was already trembling.
A lie.
Bake had lied to me.
“……”
I lifted my head in a daze.
At the end of my sight was a neatly arranged shelf, and on it was a bar of soap.
Hesitatingly, I finally picked up the soap.
The soap smelled like Bake’s scent from earlier.
The fact reconfirmed, my body trembled.
The soap stocked in the mansion was custommade.
It was not distributed in the market, and it certainly wasn’t a scent that would be used in a riding field frequented by men.
‘Why, just why?’
I slowly closed my eyes then opened them again.
Everything had a reason.
There had to be a good reason why Bake lied.
And also the reason why he had to take a shower.
As I thought this far, I felt nauseous.
The only thing spinning in my head was the worst imagination I could conjure with my pathetic creativity.
My husband knew a woman.
I covered my ears with my trembling hands.
There was no need to force myself.
Once the doubt surfaced, it spread rapidly like paint on water.
Was I really the owner of these earrings?
If not me, then who?
A sharp sensation made me frown reflexively.
Without realizing it, I had applied force and a droplet of blood had formed on my thumb.
It was pricked by the earring.
I bit my lip hard as I stared at the rising droplet of blood.
[This is the time separator]“Mom, you’re so pretty!”
“Really?”
“Yes! Mom is the prettiest in the world!”
Meriel giggled and buried her face in the dress.
I smiled at the sight of her innocent eyes.
I didn’t need to think deeply.
I couldn’t get a divorce.
A divorce was a stain on the nobility, it was a mistake.
Even if I succumbed to a momentary emotion and divorced, it would end up being a fleeting satisfaction.
The label of divorce would not only affect me but also my child.
I couldn’t ruin my daughter’s life with my own hands.
‘Meriel really likes her dad.’
I closed my eyes wearily.
It was a perfect family until I found out the secret.
In other words, if I covered up the secret, I could return to the way things were.
I just had to endure.
“Isn’t this too pretty?”
Bake smirked behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders.
I smiled as I looked at my husband reflected in the mirror.
“Is it?”
“I can guarantee that there won’t be a woman more beautiful than you at today’s party.”
My husband was smiling.
Wearing the familiar affectionate face that I knew.
I clenched my teeth to suppress my bubbling anger and placed my hand over Bake’s.
“Don’t flatter me too much.”
“Why? It’s true. It’s not a joke, I have yet to see a woman more beautiful than you. I fell for you the moment I saw you, it was love at first sight.”
How many lies had she told me with that innocent face.
Her sweet words twisted my insides.
Still, I chose to smile rather than reveal my feelings.
If it was a momentary pleasure, I could endure it.
Everyone else seemed to be living this way, there was no reason I couldn’t.
Even if it was difficult now, with effort, this emotion would eventually numb.
I remembered my father’s longstanding teachings.
A true noble always knew how to smile, regardless of the situation.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
