Just remembering her voice that she wanted to forget, embarrassed and ashamed, made Shar-ti furrow her brows.
Shar-ti, who cautiously revealed the sincerity that she couldn’t convey that day, repeatedly clenched and unfolded the hand she didn’t know had been held by Ren for a while.
Dodint, who took advantage of her weakness by threatening her with her face, would undoubtedly have also utilized the mysterious presence of Ren.
He would have woven a story like he discovered an unknown man and searched for the log house, linking Ren as the target of the search.
Shar-ti, who found Dodint she had been searching for last night and recalled the warm attitude of the soldiers, confirmed once again that her choice was right.
‘Even if they seem like good people, in the end, they are soldiers of the Empire.’
Analyzing the hierarchy and manipulating situations based on social status was a common practice in the Newton Empire. Once again, Viretta’s teachings had to be engraved in one’s bones.
“So, not calling me was an attempt to hide me?”
It was a displeased tone.
Shar-ti raised her hand. Now, she wanted to console him with a gentler expression.
“…….”
“……. Ren?”
As Ren showed no reaction, Shar-ti stopped writing.
While reaching out to his arm and writing on the palm of his hand, he was tilting his head with an expressionless face.
It was a face that conveyed nothing.
Unexpectedly, Ren shrugged his shoulders.
“It’s not easy to read.”
“……?”
Shar-ti looked at Ren with a face that said, ‘What are you talking about?’
Rather shamelessly, Ren stared intently at her palm with a cheeky expression.
“Maybe it’s because your palms are small; the letters didn’t read properly.”
Ren unfolded his palm, comparing it with Shar-ti’s hand.
Her hand was so small that it could be completely covered by his large hand.
“The room is also dark.”
Shar-ti made an incredulous expression.
Ren’s words lacked credibility because Shar-ti had been writing slowly due to her small hands.
Moreover, Ren had good eyesight, enough to find his way on mountain paths at night.
‘Even if I spoke more complex and longer sentences than this…’
Moreover, he didn’t even read the palm writing correctly just now.
Shar-ti sent him a skeptical look as her gaze narrowed.
Embarrassed but feeling like it turned out well, Shar-ti pursed her lips.
‘No need to write that it’s hard to see.’
Shar-ti lowered her hand entirely and hid it under the blanket.
It was a sulking appearance.
Seeing a sight that was not commonly seen, Ren unconsciously lifted the corners of his mouth.
Before her mood got worse, Ren cleared his throat with a light cough.
“So, I have a proposal.”
Shar-ti glanced at him as if he seized an opportunity when he spoke like that.
“Instead of… communicating through writing, how about talking?”
“……!”
Momentarily stunned, Shar-ti turned her head abruptly as if she didn’t need to hear more.
Despite her tough attitude, Ren didn’t back off.
“It’s not that writing is uncomfortable. I apologize because I feel sorry. Even though it’s something that could be done with concentration, I can’t even do that because your hands are small.”
“……. ”
Shar-ti’s jaw trembled.
Hiding her upset feelings, Ren recalled Viretta’s suggestion.
[Decide within three days. Whether you want to continue living here as a stray dog or leave with me.]In three days, he might leave the old log house following Viretta.
But before that, he wanted to hear Shar-ti’s voice.
He wanted to talk to her even a little.
In order to do that, Ren squeezed Shar-ti’s weak, self-blaming voice.
“I don’t want to bother you, and I dislike feeling sorry for not reading it properly. When I wrote palmistry on my palm, you recognized it all, but… my palm is rough, and I probably don’t want to touch it anymore.”
Adding an exaggerated expression, Shar-ti showed signs of hesitation.
Ren deliberately relaxed his throat.
“In that case, wouldn’t it be better for you to talk to me instead? Of course, it doesn’t mean relying on me. I just have a malfunctioned head, no bias, and really, truly, sincerely, I didn’t have any feelings about your voice, and I thought it was a bit unusual. I think practicing with me, someone you’re familiar with, might be enough.”
The persuasion was desperate, almost to the point of being frantic.
Now or never, as if there were no other chances.
“You said you snapped sensitively, but I didn’t feel that way at all. Your own voice may have sounded awkward because you don’t often use your throat. So, continue with palmistry when there are other people, and when I’m around, how about practicing to get used to the voice?”
“……. ”
“With many things to do with your hands, isn’t it too much trouble to do palmistry for a long time because of me? Hands also need rest.”
Whether his sincerity got through or not, Shar-ti turned her head towards Ren.
As if meeting the eyes hidden by the hood, Ren swallowed a dry spit.
“So, what I mean is…”
“Liar.”
“……!”
Ren’s mouth shut tightly.
“It didn’t look good, but I saw everything clearly.”
“……. ”
Well, that’s true.
Shar-ti let out a faint chuckle.
‘Seems like you’re really good at lying.’
Unaware that Ren intentionally quoted her palmistry, Shar-ti grumbled inwardly.
“Um, caught you.”
Ren smiled faintly.
Even after being caught lying, Shar-ti made a slightly resentful expression.
“Sha—.”
A low-pitched, resonant sound called her.
Having lied up to this point, it was now time to pull an honest conversation out of her.
Ren tried to maintain a calm expression.
“I received a proposal.”
Ren revealed honestly.
‘Grandma knew about Ren’s existence? Moreover, she even made an offer to take care of Ren.’
Shar-ti, who had been prepared to be scolded by Viretta, was genuinely surprised.
And she felt remorse.
She realized how foolish and naive her attempt to deceive Viretta was.
‘Then, Ren…’
If Viretta, who was more reliable than anyone else, took care of Ren, Shar-ti would be relieved.
Moreover, compared to the closed-minded Shar-ti, Viretta, who was more liberated, was the best choice for Ren in terms of recovering his memories.
However, Shar-ti couldn’t readily express that things had worked out well.
‘…Is he leaving soon?’
Shar-ti looked at Ren with a tense expression.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
