The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 102
“What if you just reject him more directly? From what I see, the lord doesn’t seem like someone who’d understand kind words.”
“More directly…?”
Iris, who had already been unusually blunt when making her position clear earlier, tilted her head in confusion.
How could she possibly be any more direct than she already was?
Eric lowered his voice just enough so Oscar wouldn’t hear and replied,
“Just tell him honestly that you dislike the lord.”
Iris’s eyes widened. No matter how honest she tried to be, her nature made it difficult to be so blatantly frank. She bit her lip, looking troubled.
Having anticipated her reaction, Eric spoke gently,
“The lord keeps acting inappropriately toward you. It’s perfectly fine to get angry and say harsh things to someone who’s in the wrong.”
Given House Hugo’s standing, rejecting Oscar wouldn’t leave them helplessly vulnerable to oppression by Duke Vandermir.
And besides—what was so wrong with simply saying “no” because you truly disliked someone?
Eric didn’t agree with high society’s expectation that noblewomen must always consider others’ feelings, show constant deference, and deliver rejections with delicate softness.
“For example, if I stayed up all night without permission and then showed up here yawning and exhausted, you’d be totally justified in bluntly telling me I’m being rude and annoying.”
In truth, that was precisely what Eric had wanted to say to her since earlier.
Though grateful for Iris’s consideration of him even when she herself felt upset, he also felt guilty—and wanted to assure her she didn’t have to keep doing it.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
