Inside the rattling carriage.
Cedric and his retainer were on their way back from an early morning visit to Earl Wens’ house.
Cedric’s expression looked exceptionally heavy.
“Things have gotten quite complicated.”
“Indeed, sir. What about the maid using the items left in Rose’s room?”
“It’s ridiculous. A mere maid touching the cosmetics of the woman she should be serving…”
Moreover, the item was even wrapped, but the fact that she had torn it open and applied it to her own face was beyond Cedric’s comprehension.
“I have a pretty good idea of her status in the mansion now.”
Cedric spoke as if to mock Rose’s situation.
He had determined that Rose’s position in the Earl’s house would be insignificant, based on Doana’s actions.
“What should we do? Shall we send more cosmetics to Rose?”
At his retainer’s words, Cedric shook his head.
“No, the same trick won’t work twice. We might get caught if we do. It would be better not to use the same method.”
Cedric recalled Eric, who had visited him the previous night.
‘Father, what on earth are you doing?’
‘What do you mean, all of a sudden?’
‘You sent a gift to Rose, disguised as me. I heard it was cosmetics laced with poison. There’s no one else around me who would do such a thing but you.’
Eric, who came to see him as soon as the incident happened.
Eric was far from being sharp. So, he hadn’t expected him to come this quickly.
‘I will handle my matters myself. If you’re going to cause trouble, do it after the divorce.’
Cedric felt his son, who did not hide his discomfort, was loathsome.
“That Eric, he has the nerve. Who on earth did he take after to become like this?”
As Cedric tutted, his retainer watched him in silence.
‘He’s so much like his master…’
Not only in appearance, but also in speech and temperament, they were very similar.
If there was anything different, it was that Eric wasn’t as sharp as Cedric.
“That boy needs to become a parent to understand my feelings. The feeling of wanting to do everything for one’s child.”
Cedric truly loved Eric.
His expression of love was rather violent, but he always believed his way of love was correct.
He believed he had made his son a decent human being through discipline and punishment.
“But… where on earth did the red cream disappear to?”
In the chaotic atmosphere, he had sent someone for evidence destruction. However, the cream Cedric had sent was nowhere to be found.
“I have a bad feeling about this…”
He had no intention of leaving any evidence in the first place. He planned to retrieve the cosmetics quickly after they were applied, but he couldn’t find the cream anywhere, even after searching the entire mansion.
“Don’t worry too much, Master. Selen and Gwen are in the mansion, aren’t they? They will handle everything, so we just need to wait for the next opportunity.”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The mansion, which had been in chaos because of Doana, had returned to its usual liveliness before they knew it.
However, it seemed that no one knew about her pregnancy yet.
Jane was busy wiping the windowpane.
Outside the glass door was a garden, and Selen was approaching Jane while watching out.
“Jane…”
Selen called Jane in a soft voice. His eyes looked extremely tired, as if he hadn’t slept all night.
After saying such harsh words, what more did he have to say?
‘Bad boy.’
Jane continued to do her work, pretending not to hear Selen’s voice.
“Can we talk for a moment?”
His weak voice resonated softly.
Jane flinched at Selen’s voice.
Why was he sounding so melancholic when he had deceived her and Rose?
She was almost fooled again by Selen’s acting.
Jane was extremely irritated by his presence.
‘Traitor, liar!’
Not only did he report on Rose’s daily life, but he also fooled her with his awkward appearance.
For Jane, facing him was extremely painful.
The feeling of betrayal was even greater because she had trusted him without any doubts.
Selen, who was watching Jane without any response, looked as downcast as a deserted puppy.
Selen’s appearance, which seemed to trigger maternal instincts, was even more annoying to Jane.
Bang!
“Hmph!”
Jane closed the wideopen window. Then, she snorted and turned her back on Selen.
‘I won’t be fooled by you anymore.’
She wouldn’t be fooled twice. With that thought, Jane hurriedly moved away.
Looking at Jane leaving him behind, a deep sadness filled Selen’s eyes.
The fear that his relationship with Jane might be completely severed weighed heavily on his heart.
Seuren, who was trudging along, was approached by butler Gwenn.
“Lord Seuren.”
Gwenn stopped Seuren. As Seuren approached him, he handed something to Seuren, glancing around.
“Please handle the aftermath.”
What he handed over was a red glass bottle.
The same red cosmetics bottle that had been dropped in Rosé’s room.
Seuren quietly nodded his head, accepting the bottle. The expression of the butler who handed over the bottle looked terribly somber.
‘Why did Lord Cedric do such a thing?’
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…?
