She was sick of seeing the women in that family who not only bewitched her father but also her son.
The only way she could repay Ribera, from the past, was to torment her daughter, Rosé.
When Ribera’s story came up, Sedric awkwardly coughed a few times and agreed.
“That’s right.”
Sedric’s halfhearted response did not please her, but she decided to let it slide for the sake of acting in front of Doana.
“Do you know how happy it makes me that you, not Rosé, will bear my grandchild?”
Tersia said, stroking Doana’s hand.
“If anything bothers you, please tell me at any time.”
“Yes, Mother. I will.”
Doana, not even realizing that Tersia’s behavior was pretentious, was foolishly delighted.
“Can I call you Father?”
Perhaps Doana was trying to score points with Sedric, too, because she looked at him with a coquettish voice.
“Father is wha…”
Sedric, about to say ‘What father!’, was pinched in the thigh by Tersia and stopped talking.
Tersia glared at Sedric with a threatening look.
Having to match his wife’s pace was annoying.
Despite his reluctance, Sedric nodded.
‘I guess the real power in this house lies with Mother.’
After being pinched by Tersia, Doana giggled inwardly at Sedric, who couldn’t say a word.
It didn’t matter that the pleasant Sedric didn’t like her when the top power of the house was so fond of her.
“Oh, right. Shouldn’t we start planning the wedding soon?”
‘Wedding!’
At the word wedding, Doana opened her eyes wide and stared at Tersia.
‘She must really like me, mentioning the wedding right away.’
Doana’s already bright face was radiantly cheerful. She looked at Tersia with sparkling eyes.
“We need to have a wedding. The position of ‘Countess’ is vacant.”
Doana emphasized the words ‘Countess’ and squinted her eyes at Tersia.
Tersia let out a playful smile at Doana’s behavior.
‘She’s greedy without a dime.’
She would have to overlook it for now.
She had heard rumors, but seeing Doana openly covet the position of countess was absurdly funny.
With the intention of teasing Doana, Tersia delved more deeply into the subject of the wedding.
“Right, Eric. We can’t leave the position of Countess vacant.”
“It doesn’t matter if it is.”
It had been just one day since Rosé was kicked out. Somehow, the immediate discussion of marriage felt exhausting.
“Oh my. What are you saying? You know why I married you off so quickly! You were destined to die young without a partner. I was so anxious when I heard the news yesterday that I couldn’t sleep.”
‘Do they still believe such a flimsy lie?’
Eric found Tersia and Sedric, who fell for his lie, amusing.
He had long wanted independence, to get away from his violent father.
Not wanting to leave home with nothing, he had someone tell a lie. And amazingly, his parents fell for Eric’s lie without a doubt.
What parent would calmly scrutinize everything when their child’s life was at stake?
Thanks to that, Eric easily took over power and even gained independence.
Of course, it wasn’t the ‘perfect’ independence he desired.
Unaware of Eric’s intent to break free from her grasp, Tersia continued to spew hypocritical words.
“Even when I offered you another woman besides Rosé, you were stubborn. In the end, you’re getting divorced. Everyone has their own fate. Just like Doana is carrying your child. In the end, your fate was not with Rosé but with her.”
“Oh, mother. I’m moved right now.”
Upon hearing Tersia’s words, Doana blinked her eyes and gave a happy smile.
“Let’s proceed with the ceremony tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow? I have more than a couple of things to prepare, is that okay? I don’t even have a wedding dress.”
“What’s the problem with a wedding dress? If I ask, there are many places that can make a dress in a day.”
At the thought of becoming a countess from tomorrow, Doana couldn’t help but be excited.
“Oh, I’m really thrilled, mother.”
“Thrilled? What does that mean?”
“It means my heart is pounding with excitement.”
“Hoho. Maybe because you’re from a humble background, you say strange things.”
Tersia chuckled and closed her eyes. For a moment, Doana doubted her own ears.
“Oh, I didn’t mean it in a bad way. I’m just curious.”
“Ah……. Yes, mother.”
She felt somewhat awkward, but she thought it was a simple verbal mistake. The important thing was that she accepted her as a daughterinlaw.
“Eric, then we’ll proceed with the ceremony tomorrow at 12, so you know. This mother is going to make invitations to send to people, so you have a good time with the young lady.”
At Tersia’s words, Eric nodded as if it didn’t matter.
Eric was extremely annoyed by the noisy chatter of Doana and Tersia next to him.
Even if he said he didn’t want to here, it was obvious that he would be led by her hand and enter the wedding hall.
“Then, see you tomorrow, child.”
“Oh, mother, what about my dress?”
“Oh my. Look at my mind. I almost forgot about the dress. I’ll send a designer later. You just stand still and let him measure you.”
“Yes, I’ll do that.”
Doana nodded with a flushed face.
Seeing Doana like that, Tersia snickered. She hooked arms with Cedric and left Eric’s room.
Doana didn’t realize until the next day that she was not the bride of the wedding.
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…?
