The Duke Only Needs My Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 89
Though his voice sounded as if he were merely asking in passing, Blair’s startled heart began to race.
Though nearly ten days had passed beyond the expected date, she never imagined he would be keeping track of her cycle.
Blair, momentarily flustered and frozen, cleverly hid her face behind the blanket and offered a plausible excuse.
“I did skip my medicine for a few days—maybe it’s because I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. It sometimes gets delayed like this.”
The lie, which she had felt unsure about at first, surprisingly flowed smoothly once she started speaking—so naturally that even she herself wouldn’t have guessed it was a lie.
Recalling the day he’d switched her real medicine with a fake, Herdin readily accepted her explanation.
He didn’t know much about women’s bodies, but since the switch had happened recently, the fake medicine might still be affecting her. It was a perfectly plausible scenario.
“We should wait a few more days, and if it’s delayed much longer, you should see a physician. It could be a sign of poor health.”
Of course, if the delay grew significantly longer, that might warrant suspicion.
“…I will. Thank you for worrying about me.”
Blair curled up deeper under the blanket, thinking she’d better claim her period had started tomorrow.
Since she’d said she wanted to rest, she assumed Herdin would soon leave—after all, if he didn’t intend to be intimate with her, he surely had no other reason to stay.
But he didn’t leave; instead, he lingered beside her, absentmindedly playing with her hair.
Though this ruined her plan to sleep, Blair didn’t shoo him away and quietly watched his actions—she didn’t dislike his touch.
After idly winding strands of Blair’s hair around his fingers for a while, Herdin looked up, sensing a breeze slipping through the slightly ajar balcony door.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
