The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 45
The dining room on the first floor of the mansion was bustling with activity for the first time in a while.
Under Jason’s direction, the servants moved in perfect unison, placing tableware before each seat.
Soon after the maids quietly left the room, a heavy silence descended as if cold water had been poured over the scene.
Despite three people sitting face to face in the spacious room, not even the faintest clink of cutlery could be heard.
‘Why on earth did he suddenly suggest we eat together?’
Dahlia, unsure where to direct her gaze during this meal with people she’d never imagined could sit together amicably, could only stare at the water filling her glass before her.
Lloyd seemed equally uneasy; he kept his eyes fixed on the tabletop, showing no intention of raising his head.
Nor was that all—the servants, though busy preparing the meal, clearly had every nerve on edge over this encounter between the three.
In this suffocating atmosphere, the only person feeling completely at ease was Clayton, the very root of all this trouble.
Just as Dahlia was covertly sneaking glances at Clayton’s reflection in her glass,
Clayton, who had kept his lips tightly shut until now, finally broke the silence.
“You asked me earlier—how I came to know the two of you are close.”
“Huh?”
Dahlia tilted her head, trying to recall whether she’d actually posed such a question.
She thought she’d merely reacted with flustered surprise, but apparently, Clayton had interpreted that as genuine curiosity.

My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
