The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 21
Reina fell asleep in the carriage on the way back.
Perhaps because she had cried so much, or perhaps because she had exhausted her strength.
Her face, wet under the moonlight, looked pale.
Arthur lent his shoulder to the sleeping Reina.
“…….”
Arthur’s gaze lingered on Tristan’s handkerchief clutched tightly in Reina’s hand.
He tried gently tugging it free, but since she was asleep while still tensely gripping it, it wouldn’t easily come loose.
Her furrowed brow, creased with discomfort, made her look frail.
……Was she unwell, or simply exhausted?
Seeing Reina’s pale face, Arthur let out a quiet sigh.
“She might be rather delicate. After all, she collapsed suddenly on the day of the victory parade, didn’t she?”
Tristan spoke in a tone neither particularly negative nor sympathetic.
Though it was obvious he didn’t like Reina, he showed no sign of thinking she was feigning illness or expressing any resentment—clearly adhering to Arthur’s orders to maintain proper courtesy.
“……Shall we move about on our own tomorrow?”
That was something Arthur had also been pondering.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
