The Duke Only Needs My Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 43
In the painting sat a strikingly handsome man and a stunningly beautiful woman side by side. On the woman’s lap sat a little boy who appeared to be about four or five years old.
Though Blair already knew who they were, Ruth—unaware of that fact—quickly explained them to her.
“They are the late Duke and Duchess. And this child is the current Lord.”
The three family members in the painting smiled happily, completely oblivious to the tragedy awaiting them in the future. Precisely because Blair knew of that tragedy, the portrait before her felt all the more poignant.
Yet Blair couldn’t tear her eyes away from the painting for a different reason altogether.
Blair gazed longingly at baby Herdin in the portrait.
His slightly curly, soft black hair; his milky, plump cheeks; his clear, large eyes; even the shape of his lips when he smiled.
Aside from his eye color, inherited from his mother, Asiel had been born an exact replica of his father, Herdin.
‘Asiel…’
How her heart had ached each time she barely managed to recall that child from memories growing fainter by the day.
‘I’m glad you resemble your father.’
At least this way, I can still picture you.
Just as Blair was lost in her yearning,
Ruth, mistakenly assuming her fixation on the portrait stemmed from something else, abruptly and tactlessly interrupted.
“The late Duchess truly was a great beauty, wasn’t she? And as for the late Duke—well, there’s no need to even say it. He looks exactly like the current Lord.”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
