Ellen also quickly turned around. In her eyes, a sharp, crimson light still lingered.
The moment Philip thought her red dress fluttered like flowers in the wind, he was hit by a powerful shock.
Philip received Ellen’s 720-degree roundhouse kick, which I had fallen for, squarely, and was sent flying.
“Kwuk!”
After the impact with the ground, a sharp pain pierced through his abdomen.
Philip groaned in pain as he assessed the situation.
Ellen was looking down at him. With her high-heeled foot, she stomped on Philip’s abdomen.
“Hey, Viscount.”
Philip was speechless.
The title from Ellen’s red lips changed from Philip to Viscount. While showing the back of her hand to Philip, Ellen extended her thumb and index finger.
“First, now that we’re divorced, you shouldn’t call me ‘Madam.'”
Ellen’s grip folded, leaving only the middle finger.
“It’s not my taste, and I find sticky men unattractive and disgusting.”
With a wicked smile, Ellen shook the raised middle finger at Philip. However, Philip, without paying attention to her, pleaded with Ellen.
“Please be my wife again. And remember, a person’s appearance isn’t everything.”
“…….”
“There are misunderstandings. I want to calmly discuss and resolve them, my lady.”
In response to that, Ellen lowered her foot.
“I have something I want too.”
Philip felt a sense of relief that Ellen finally seemed willing to engage in a conversation. He quickly got up, knelt down with one knee in front of Ellen, who had raised her hand to show the back, and spoke.
“I’ll do anything you want. Just understand this.”
Then, he tried to kiss her at the tip of her fingers.
“I genuinely love my wife.”
At that moment, Ellen’s hand slipped out of Philip’s grip. Philip looked up. Ellen’s eyebrows were wrinkled in disgust.
As if saying she had seen something unbearable.
Still icy, Ellen’s blue eyes stabbed Philip’s heart once again like a dagger.
“I wish you would never appear in front of me again.”
After finishing her words, Ellen clicked her tongue, turned around abruptly, and distanced herself.
“Lady… Lady! Just a moment…”
Philip stood up again and chased after Ellen. However, Ellen quickly moved away faster than he could run.
Philip realized he couldn’t reach Ellen no matter how much he reached out. A pain that felt like his heart was being torn apart struck his entire body.
“Oh, God! Why did you send her to me?”
He unconsciously sought God.
Philip originally didn’t believe in God. The religion he recognized was just a means to control, along with politics.
But being powerless and desperate, seeking God was the only thing left for him to do.
“Wasn’t it to save me from the suffering of marriage? But why do you let her leave me?”
Philip prayed to God, not knowing himself.
“I’m willing to pay any price! Please allow only the current Ellen for me!”
That’s when it happened.
At his fingertips, he felt the touch of someone’s soft and warm hand.
“Philip…”
A woman’s voice was heard. It wasn’t clear whether it was Ellen’s voice or not, but there were only two women who could call him by his name.
Since his mother had passed away, it must be Ellen.
At that moment, a gentle hand held Philip even tighter.
…?
Something felt strange. It was definitely a woman’s hand, but it wasn’t Ellen. Upon closer thought, it wasn’t Ellen’s voice either.
“Then whose hand is holding mine?”
Then, another woman’s voice was heard.
“Philip…”
Wondering who was holding his hand, Philip soon made his own guess.
“Could it be a deity?”
It was irrational, but considering the events that happened right after his prayer, he couldn’t help but think that way. No, he wanted to believe it.
If that were the case, he shouldn’t let go until the deity answered his prayer.
With a more desperate heart, Philip firmly gripped the hand he had caught.
“Ack! It hurts! Aaah! My hand!”
“Oh no! Philip!”
A woman’s agonizing scream pierced into Philip’s ears. Soon followed by the bewildered cry of a man.
In the midst of the surreal experience, Philip opened his eyes wide.
The first thing that came into his sight was Delina, who was in pain while holding onto his hand.
…?
As he turned his eyes, a bewildered Enoch was also visible. Startled, Philip quickly released Delina’s hand and stood up.
“W-What is this?”
The wet towel that had been on Philip’s forehead fell with a thud.
“B-Baron grabbed my hand into thin air, and I… sob!”
Delina poured out tears in pain, not knowing what to do with the hand Philip let go of.
Soon, a doctor and nurse, called by Enoch, took Delina away.
…?
Only then did Philip look around. It was an unfamiliar room, and there was a bandage on his arm.
“Where am I?”
“Hmm… This is a hospital attached to the court.”
“A hospital? Then…”
Philip recalled the recent events with Ellen.
Ellen kicked Philip mercilessly, stomped on him with her foot, and even insulted him with her fingers.
‘It was a dream…’
He felt relieved at the thought that Ellen’s actions weren’t real. However, it was such a vivid dream that it left a miserable feeling.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
