The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 149
“What is it?”
“What if there really had been poison?”
“In the soup? You know there wasn’t any. Len just quickly said something appropriate to smooth things over.”
“I know. But it might have gotten in by accident. If I hadn’t called Feyel, you were just going to eat it, weren’t you?”
Cledwin’s eyes darkened. Neris’s heart sank.
If she wasn’t mistaken, sadness and fear lurked within that darkness.
She understood the source of that sadness and fear. In his childhood, his life had been shattered by the same weapon now used by the culprit behind this incident.
Perhaps… perhaps she’d gone too far. Neris averted her gaze.
“…I won’t lie to you anymore.”
She knew he’d been watching over her. Without asking for understanding, without offering explanations… she’d pushed too hard, too often. Though he was the kind of person who could grasp much on his own and had silently allowed it, some things had clearly overstepped her bounds.
Neris believed he tolerated her actions this much because of his fundamentally upright heart.
‘Because he’s someone who trusts me.’
She was truly grateful that, after returning to the past, she’d met Cledwin. Without him, she never would have come this far.
Only those worthy of trust can trust others.
Seeing Neris’s expression soften, Cledwin, still smiling, gently lifted her hand. He met her eyes as he slowly pressed his lips to the back of her hand.
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!
