The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 65
Reina took back her grandmother’s medical journal from Kay.
Her eyes sparkled as she accepted it carefully with both hands.
“Thank you.”
Kay smiled.
“Not at all. Thank *you* for lending it to me. I imagine you must have missed it terribly.”
With a gentle smile, Kay subtly softened the cold atmosphere that had been left behind by Arthur’s earlier “inspection” order.
Then, sitting down across from Reina at the table, he spoke again.
“Were you startled by His Grace? I did think it might be better if we didn’t appear too close in front of Taylor Lorenson. Still, even considering that, His Grace did seem a bit abrupt when he came in.”
“Oh…”
Reina gave an awkward smile and nodded.
“Yes… No, it’s fine. I wasn’t startled.”
She *had* been surprised, but not in the sense of being frightened or alarmed.
Yet, it seemed Taylor had taken her words entirely at face value.
Remembering Taylor’s earlier threat—that he’d be happy to make her faint right then and there—Reina felt both grateful and guilty.
She stared silently down at Taylor’s medical journal.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”

I’m merely concerned about preventing any complications.
I completely forgot about all this implications and the gravity of the situation they are in all because of a little romance 🥴🥲🥲. Omgosh the imbalance is crazy best bet is that they don’t end up together but at least have some happy times
But after realizing Arthur had gone blind,
I was so happy till I realised that it was written in past tense
I’ve never said I’d marry Reina.

Aww such a cute yet bittersweet chapter. I seriously can’t see hiw this novel will end
Sad chapter for real and it makes you wonder if his eyes changed to gray to preemptively mask his blindness
Things are ramping up ever so slighty it’d worrisome. Christina seems like she won’t willingly let Arthur go.
