[Full] The Villainess Just Wants to Live Quietly! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 21
The saying “a thief feels uneasy about his own feet” might just be true.
After helping Askan escape, I deliberately didn’t call for him, worried that Ollande or Zen might find it suspicious.
Even though I knew it was unnecessary worry, I still wanted to avoid drawing any unwanted attention.
After sending Barnen and Matella away—both of whom had suddenly shown up—the time had already come for dinner.
‘Father said he’d let last night’s incident go, so I suppose I can finally relax a little.’
Ollande wasn’t the type to say one thing and do another; his personal creed was that trustworthiness mattered above all else.
Since I hadn’t been able to eat with Askan all day, I decided I’d share dinner with him tonight and finish the conversation we’d left hanging from last night.
As usual, I had two portions of food prepared in my room and called for Askan.
Eating together with him wasn’t anything new, so to Jerin and everyone else, it probably just looked like another ordinary day.
Knock knock—soon after, a soft knock came from the door, followed by Askan’s low voice outside.
“It’s me.”
“Come in.”
At my permission, Askan entered the room.
His face was as expressionless as ever, his clothes neat and his movements restrained—but if you looked closely, something felt different.
Dark circles under his eyes suggested he hadn’t slept well last night.
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.”
Isn’t he is being cute, just let him be …ufff….
