The Dead Villainess Is Pregnant With The Male Lead's Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 71
“This is such a pity. It seems I won’t get a chance after all.”
“…….”
“I was hoping that, since I’ll be staying at the Duke’s residence anyway, I could grow closer to His Grace… But I guess I was a step too late.”
Espin shrugged lightly as she spoke. She tried hard to smile, but her lips wouldn’t lift properly, making her look rather dispirited.
“Even though it’s disappointing… well, Nia is a good person, Jediel is too, and of course, Lord Killion as well. Everyone’s so kind. That’s why I want to cheer for Lord Killion.”
“…Thank you, Your Highness.”
He never imagined hearing such encouragement from anyone—let alone Princess Espin herself.
He bowed his head respectfully to express his gratitude.
‘But she hasn’t accepted my feelings. That hurts a lot.’
He couldn’t possibly confess such unrefined thoughts aloud, so he merely swallowed a sigh. Unaware of his inner turmoil, Espin continued brightly.
“I had a truly wonderful time today. Even though it ended with that dreadful incident. Still, until we met that pickpocket, it was a perfect day. Thank you, Lord Killion.”
“I enjoyed it as well.”
As Killion reflected on the long day, a sudden fear gripped him. A chill wind brushed across his chest.
‘Maybe… they’ve already figured it out.’
He couldn’t stop worrying about having covered Veronica’s face with his cloak after she dropped one of her earrings. He’d tried acting oblivious, but it was undeniably suspicious behavior—especially to someone as cautious as Veronica.
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.”
