The Dark Lord Obsesses Over His Fake Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 71
“Why…?”
The whispers of the noblewomen around grew louder. But Leandro paid no attention to their reactions.
“Estelle, why do you call yourself a villainess?”
“Does a villainess need a reason?”
Estelle smiled faintly.
“I’m a villainess simply because I am one. Didn’t you say the same?”
The more he heard the word “villainess,” the more Leandro’s heart stung. He recalled the moments he had rashly condemned her.
“No, it’s different.”
Leandro cried out, overcome with emotion.
“I didn’t accuse you because I wanted to. I just… wanted to trust those around me more.”
“Leandro! Stop it!”
The Marchioness Pelsis could no longer hold back and tried to intervene. She grabbed him, as if desperate to escape the situation, but a noblewoman’s strength couldn’t restrain a knight.
“Mother, stay out of this. Isn’t this all your fault?”
Leandro glared at his mother with contempt. Shocked by her son’s outburst and accusing gaze, the Marchioness Pelsis turned pale, as if she might faint.
“I… I only wanted what was best for your future, Leandro…”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
“Even”? Beasts are far more likely to rage at threats to their young than humans are or we wouldn’t innumerable instances of child neglect/abuse.
Dang, dude. Way to lose trust from your loving wife!
I was hoping they’d have her working as a scullion or some such.
