The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 96
“Oh, what about Father?”
At dinner, Joseph asked as he stirred his soup with a spoon. Jane’s hand froze for a moment.
“Father is busy.”
“Oh, but I’ve finished the homework Father gave me. I, I need to, to, to show it to him. Wh-when can I see him?”
Joseph stuttered even more severely than before.
Children were quick to notice things.
Joseph had sensed that the atmosphere in Somnium House was no longer the same as before, and he was anxious.
Cain, who used to study with Jane, had been coming home late without a word, and Jane, who always wore a smile as bright as sunshine, had lost her laughter.
Norbert and Mary often sighed, and recently, Joseph had overheard Letty, Nas, and Hailey gathered together, speaking in serious tones.
〈His Grace is really going too far. What if Her Ladyship gets worn out and leaves?〉
〈Nas, why say something so extreme? He’ll probably quiet down soon enough. Right, Hailey?〉
〈This doesn’t seem like it’ll end with just a fight.〉
Hailey’s grave tone and gloomy expression made Joseph’s heart sink with fear.
He didn’t know exactly why, but something was wrong between Cain and Jane—and it seemed possible that Jane might leave Somnium House because of it.
‘Am I… going to be abandoned again?’
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.”
Oh dear, another troublesome situation has occurred.
So these two are colluding to cause trouble for Jane.
Looks like Cain deeply cared for Arthur, how heartwarming.
