Sicar massaged his forehead as if suffering from a headache, then ordered Durion to get a chocolate cake. I clapped my hands to gain the attention of the children.
“Kids! We can now have chocolate cake! Here, this brave and wonderful knight will go and buy a chocolate cake!”
Suddenly turned into a brave and awesome knight, Durion looked at me with a startled face. So, I took advantage of Durion’s simple personality.
“Right? Brave Knight Durion.”
Overwhelmed by the children’s hopeful eyes, Durion straightened his shoulders, chuckled, and laughed.
“Yyes. Kids. I, the brave one, will go and buy a chocolate cake, so stop crying.”
The kids seemed to hear nothing but the promise of a chocolate cake, and they quickly stopped crying.
“Is it… really?”
“I’ll go right now! Wait! You can’t cry while I’m gone!”
The prospect of being able to eat chocolate cake quickly calmed the children down.
Soon, a heap of cake arrived from the bakery, and Durion kindly handed out the chocolate cake to the children.
I picked up a box of cake and handed it to both Bika and Sicar.
“Why don’t you help distribute it? Come on, help Durion distribute it.”
Receiving the cake box from me, Bika looked at Sicar with a face saying ‘I can’t believe this.’
“Do I need to do this kind of thing too?”
“My wife’s command is my command. So do whatever she asks. I’m doing it too.”
Bika, like Sicar, disliked dealing with children. Bika didn’t particularly like people in general, so he frowned at Sicar.
“It seems you’re going to make some big mistakes in the future? That’s why you’re held so tightly.”
“If you know, just work without arguing. If I fall, you’ll be ruined by our pact.”
“I didn’t need your help in the first place.”
“The kids’ chatter is less noisy than your grumbling. Stop grumbling and distribute the cake.”
Bika furrowed his brows.
“I feel like jumping into a battlefield.”
With hesitant steps, Bika picked up a cake box and slowly walked away.
The sight of three people being hounded by the children made for a chaotic scene.
Seeing these villains of this world being tormented by children was both hilarious and gratifying. Could it be I was reforming these villains?
Kian, too, seemed pleased as he watched the three with a bright smile.
‘Should I provide a bit of salvation to those three now?’
I clapped my hands to gain the children’s attention.
“Kids. You have to keep order to eat the cake. Everyone line up. You know how to line up, right?”
“Yes!!!”
“Okay, now, form a long line in front of the uncle and auntie. Got it?”
“Yes!!!”
The children obediently lined up in a long, single file.
Suddenly turned from a brave knight into an uncle, Durion gave me a thumbs up, and Bika, who had suddenly become an auntie, snorted as if to say ‘Are you done yet?’ Sicar seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Let’s help them distribute, Kian.”
Kian had been smiling happily all along.
“Yes, mother.”
After we helped the three distribute the cakes, we sat around the table with the kids and ate cake.
As the kids were happily eating and chatting, I quietly asked Sicar.
“How were the children’s conditions? Were they abused by the director in any way?”
“They were physically abused a lot. If you lift the children’s clothes now, you’ll find bruises from pinching on their backs and sides. And they were starving a lot. They serve two meals a day here, but even that was not a proper meal. Let alone a cake like this, they didn’t even get a proper piece of bread for one meal. Half a piece of bread and a soup with more water than ingredients were all they had.”
“How could they do that to the children!”
I clenched my trembling fist.
“Don’t worry too much. The law here is strict, and the director’s crime will be dealt with harshly. More than the crime of abusing the children, he will be heavily punished for embezzling the donations sent by the nobles.”
Certainly. Here is the translation:
That might be the case. Ideally, I’d like to receive more punishment for the former reason, but I quite liked the fact that I could be severely punished for the latter reason as well.
Fortunately, the children were immersed in the chocolate cake, as if washing away all the sorrow they had suffered from the director.
“Tell me if it’s not enough. Kids. Today is a day when you can eat cake until your stomach bursts.”
“Wooooah! Can we really?”
“Sure. The Duke here will buy everything.”
The children looked at Sicar to see if it was true, and Sicar, looking very tired, glared at me and answered.
“I will make all your teeth rot.”
The children’s expectant faces instantly chilled. So, I laughed and clapped towards the children.
“That means he will buy as much cake as you want!”
The children, whose mood quickly improved, cheered and rejoiced. The faces of the children, who were enjoying the sweetness with cream smeared around their mouths, seemed to have lost all shadows.
If it wasn’t for Kian, I wouldn’t have been able to save these children. I gave Kian a thumbsup as if he was amazing.
“Our son, you’re so cool.”
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…?
