The Ex-Husband Demands Reunion (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98
In Laila’s eyes, the Ellen of old had not been pretty at all—she’d radiated only the aura of a wicked witch.
Ellen used to frequently summon young Laila and Marlboro, seat them down, and serve them extremely strong-brewed black tea.
“Drink it all.”
The tea was scalding hot and unbearably bitter.
It was only natural for Laila and Marlboro to grimace and stick out their tongues.
But each time, Ellen would click her tongue sharply and glare at them fiercely.
“Tsk tsk, how can you not even drink properly when tea etiquette is so vital to noble life?”
“But, Mother… this black tea is just too…”
Ellen slammed the table with a sharp thud, cutting off Laila’s barely uttered words like a knife.
“Marlboro isn’t my son, and you aren’t even married to him—so why do you call me ‘Mother’?”
Startled, Laila hunched her shoulders. Tears welled up in her clear, large eyes, and she tightly pressed her lips together to keep from bursting into tears.
But Ellen didn’t even blink. She stared coldly at Marlboro with even icier eyes.
“Did you perhaps pretend to be my son?”
Marlboro could barely breathe, only watching Ellen’s every expression with apprehension.
“Hah, what shameless children you are.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
