“The Bourbon Prince was at the territory? What is this all about?”
“He wishes to see you today at two o’clock in the afternoon, my lord.”
Alexandre wants to see Philip?
My exboyfriend suddenly wants to meet my current husband?
I pondered the reason, recalling how I had kicked Alexandre out.
‘If he wants to make an issue out of today’s incident, he should formally do so through my husband.’
Gasp! A real protest? Over assaulting a prince?
“And at three o’clock in the afternoon, he wishes to see the lady separately.”
My heart pounded, but I pretended to be calm.
“…Me?”
“Hmm…….”
Philip, who had glanced at me briefly, gently stroked his chin.
“My lord, how shall we reply?”
“Since he is the lady’s cousin, we shall receive him with all due formality.”
It was an unavoidable atmosphere. Philip seemed likely to find out soon that I had hit Alexandre.
Perhaps even the fact that Alexandre was Ellen’s exboyfriend.
How dumbfounded Philip would be if he found out everything.
“What will the lady do?”
“…Yes?”
“Will you meet the Bourbon Prince at three o’clock?”
“No.”
Ugh, I had flatly refused without even realizing it.
“Won’t you feel regretful for not seeing him since he has come to visit?”
It was a gentle suggestion that I hadn’t expected at all, considering I had no idea what kind of protest would be lodged.
‘I’ll have to solve the problem, won’t I?’
I recalled Alexandre’s wild eyes, and meeting him separately didn’t seem like a good choice. Who knew what trouble I could get into.
After a moment’s thought, I decided to defer the situation with an Ellenlike response and then find a solution.
“I still won’t accept such a sudden visit. Even if it’s you.”
“…….”
My expression of refusal was at its peak. If Ellen was refusing Philip, then enough had been said.
A small snicker escaped from Philip, who had momentarily closed his mouth.
“So it’s decided. I will see him alone today.”
“Yes, I will pass on the message.”
Domingo left the room. Laila, who had been awkwardly standing to the side, politely bid farewell and then vanished as well.
“My lady, what happened with the prince?”
Philip’s expression was calm, but he asked in a straightforward manner, causing my heart to sink.
“Yes?”
“You used to want to see him, didn’t you? And there were occasional letters exchanged.”
“……”
Philip looked at me askance.
Should I tell him about what happened with Alexandre? Or not?
“Something is amiss.”
“That’s……”
“Please speak freely, my lady. If you inform me, I will be able to prepare accordingly.”
My ears perked up.
I wasn’t sure if I felt guilty or not, but Philip’s words sounded like he would be lenient if I confessed.
‘Perhaps speaking up is the right choice.’
I would have to briefly explain that the building owner on 5th Avenue was that man, and the lease agreement was fine, but a minor incident occurred when our shoes slightly brushed against each other.
‘Should I say that my foot slipped instead of mentioning the joint and nape?’
That seemed a bit too much. I knew well that it wasn’t a small matter in this world of strict social hierarchy.
‘Will it be acceptable if I say I hit his knee mildly?’
As I hesitated, Philip’s expression grew serious.
“Is it something significant?”
I was startled and reflexively denied it.
“No!”
It’s not serious. I assaulted a prince.
‘But I’ll try to resolve it. I just can’t find a solution right now.’
I needed to buy some time to think.
“The building owner on 5th Avenue was that man. There was a slight problem with the lease agreement.”
Philip’s eyes widened at my composed words.
“You leased the building on 5th Avenue?”
“……Why are you so surprised?”
“Why? I had inquired about leasing that building through a broker a few months ago.”
“Did you?”
“…….”
Philip closed his mouth and looked at me strangely. As he slowly stroked his chin in thought, I began to feel uncomfortable.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Philip looked around conspicuously.
“Since nobody is around…… Hmm, hmm.”
With a mischievous wrinkle between his eyebrows, Philip closed the distance and lowered his voice.
“You didn’t know…… Possession?”
“……!”
My heart plummeted again.
“……Yes?”
“You said the soul was different, didn’t you?”
Caught off guard, my heart raced, and a cold sweat broke out.
“Yes, yes, yes… When?”
Philip laughed softly.
“Weren’t you playing around in bed two days ago?”
“What?”
“It was another soul… you said you were possessed by your wife.”
Did I ever tell Philip that? Even in my drowsiness?
I searched my memory but couldn’t be sure.
“……”
Being silent, did it really seem like I was suspicious?
“Quit the boring jokes and continue what you were talking about.”
Trying to act more like Ellen, I spoke coldly, and Philip snorted in laughter.
“Yes, ma’am. How did you manage to close the deal?”
Phew, thankfully Philip returned to the original topic.
“The real estate transaction laws might become very interesting.”
“What?”
“……?”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
