“Huh? Where are you looking? Look at this!”
“……I’m sorry.”
“So you know what you did was wrong?”
Velia puffed up her cheeks.
“What did Raul say?”
He had looked uneasy when he came to the reception, but his expression turned cold in an instant after Raul had whispered something in his ear.
Velia wanted to be angry, but seeing Khaled’s even gloomier expression, she took a deep breath and asked softly.
“What did he say to make you so upset?”
Then Khaled suddenly embraced Velia.
Velia gently patted Khaled’s back.
“……Are you going to Raul?”
“What are you talking about?”
Velia asked, as if she found the idea absurd.
Khaled chuckled softly, as if he himself found the situation absurd.
“I often dream that you run off to Raul.”
His voice was devoid of energy.
It was downright gloomy.
“That would never happen.”
Velia finally felt that what she had been anticipating had come to pass.
From the moment he found out that she and Raul were once lovers, she had expected this.
She knew he had been subtly concerned about it, even if he hadn’t openly expressed his emotions.
But today, his emotions seemed to have erupted due to his encounter with Raul.
“……I know. But the thought of seeing you with Raul drives me insane.”
Khaled let go of Velia and bowed his head.
Then he covered his face with one hand.
“Damn it.”
He muttered a soft curse.
Khaled had never spat out an insult before.
A shiver ran down Velia’s back to her waist.
“You are nothing like yourself when it comes to me.”
Her heart thumped at the sight of his newfound vulnerability.
It was thrilling to see him completely open up emotionally and cling to her alone.
The moment his face, obscured by his hair, momentarily showed, Velia felt as though she was being pressed to the floor by an inexplicable force. Her body trembled with pleasure spreading from her fingertips.
“……I’ll get some water.”
Had her voice just now been as it usually was?
She couldn’t tell.
She couldn’t stand it any longer.
The indescribable satisfaction that welled up from seeing someone pour out their emotions due to her, was Velia turning strange somewhere?
“You should calm down a bit.”
Velia hastily turned her body.
Khaled grasped Velia’s hand as she turned away from him.
His touch was urgent, as if he were holding onto someone he’d never see again.
“Don’t go.”
Velia gently pushed Khaled’s hand away and smiled.
“Where would I go?”
“Say you’ll stay by my side.”
It was only about fetching water, after all.
“Come on.”
He spoke as if he couldn’t stand his own anxiety.
Khaled grasped Velia’s hand again, who made no response, and held it tightly.
“I want to lock you up and keep you from going anywhere, forever.”
Khaled exchanged gazes with Velia while letting out a selfmocking laugh.
“Am I crazy for thinking this way?”
Velia felt the need to change the atmosphere.
As she looked at him crossing the boundaries she’d painstakingly drawn with only his goals in mind, Velia felt an unattainable emotion. If things continued this way, she would be swallowed up by his emotions, much like a surging wave.
“Men who are obsessive aren’t attractive.”
Velia, who didn’t want to be swept away by emotions, closed her eyes and smiled softly. Then she whispered suggestively with a slightly slow and sticky voice.
“Do you know how hard it was for me to hold back when Raul spoke to me earlier?”
“……”
“I wanted to kill him right then and there.”
Velia smiled and said she would have really twisted his neck had he not shown up.
“Let me say it again.”
It’s not a difficult task.
If he showed an unfittingly weak appearance.
“The one who will stab Raul’s neck is me.”
Repeating it a few times will do.
I will kill him with my own hands.
(This is a time marker.)
Velia subtly lifted the teacup in front of her to her lips.
It suited her taste.
Looking around, the desserts laid out also perfectly matched Velia’s taste.
She must’ve mentioned she liked these when she was in the Kingdom of Ronica?
‘How nice it would be if we could go back a bit further.’
If that was the case, she would’ve avoided even making contact with Raul.
Well, at least the prepared cookies were delicious.
Though the current situation wasn’t exactly pleasant.
“Do you like it?”
Raul gently asked Velia, who was munching on a cookie.
Velia nodded her head and said,
“Yes, it’s delicious.”
“I’m glad.”
Raul smiled very brightly.
Not long ago, Khaled and Velia, not particularly pleased to be invited by Raul, were spending tea time at the 1st Prince’s palace.
An awkward chat was unfolding among the four uncomfortably gathered. Well, whether this could be called a chat was questionable.
“I remembered what you said you liked and prepared it. I’m glad you like it.”
Velia carelessly nodded.
A quick glance revealed that the face of Elin Kanterip, sitting next to Raul, was quite stiff.
It was obvious to anyone that Raul was taking care of Velia. It wouldn’t look good to show interest in a previous marriage proposal while sitting next to his future fiancée.
The same applied to Khaled.
“Do you not care what your future fiancée likes?”
Khaled pointed to Princess Kanterip, who was shivering with humiliation in an awkward crossedleg position.
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…?
