The Secret Affairs of the Fake Duke Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 99
“How splendid! Did this come from the East? They say it’s a mysterious land, and even its porcelain exudes grace and refinement. Oh my! Is that real gold?”
Jexy, the woman who had introduced herself as Joseph’s mother, bustled about the drawing room. She flitted from one object to another, poking and commenting on everything she touched.
Jane sat quietly on the sofa, silently observing her exaggerated gestures.
Jexy was beautiful. Her tightly coiffed hair and makeup made her age hard to guess, but her lush eyelashes, high nose bridge, and feline-upturned eyes were undeniably alluring.
She was also tall and shapely—her curves enough to captivate any man’s gaze.
Yet her voice was far too loud, her movements brazenly impolite, and her eyes brimmed with greed.
When Jexy declared herself Joseph’s mother, Jane hadn’t believed her—not until Joseph shuffled in nervously and called out, “Mom…,” at which point she accepted it as truth.
That Jexy was truly Joseph’s mother. That she was the woman who had spent the night with Cain.
“Now that you’ve finished your tour, please take a seat.”
Jane offered this as Hailey entered with refreshments.
“Oh! Egg tarts!”
Jexy slipped a golden bead into her pocket, then approached Hailey and took an egg tart.
Before it had even been placed on the table!
Hailey’s eyes widened in shock, but Jexy took a deliberate half-bite and grinned triumphantly.
“Delicious.”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
Looks like Cain deeply cared for Arthur, how heartwarming.
Awwww, what a sweet chapter. I hope happier days are coming.
It seems like the peace for the Hastings is about to be disrupted.
