Her vacant gaze crumpled slowly.
…This guy. Are you teasing me?
Just when I was resisting the urge to kick him.
“May I kiss you?”
Her thin eyelashes fluttered at the soft voice settling in her ear.
“I won’t do it if you don’t want it.”
A heavy voice as if suppressing desire.
“If you don’t want it, push me away.”
It felt more dangerous for being overly tender.
With the blue eyes that bound her unable to move.
Cedric released the hand he had been clutching for a long time.
Her freed fingertips didn’t dare to move, clutching tightly at that moment.
A large hand burrowed into her blonde hair spilled over the bed.
He stopped, seeming to give her time to push him away, gently grasping the back of her head.
Thump thump.
Her heart pounded loudly, as if echoing in her ears.
Her thoughts went blank, entrapped by the insistent blue eyes.
She couldn’t think to push him away, ensnared by his persistent gaze.
A faint smile spread on the lips of the man who had been staring motionlessly.
“……I gave you a chance.”
Along with a voice that seemed to bind her body and heart.
“……!”
Cedric slowly lowered his head.
She deeply inhaled the man’s body scent flowing through the tip of her nose along with her breath.
His lips would be excessively hot.
Slowly. And, tenderly.
Those hot lips and breath would invade her mouth, planting endless stimulation.
A natural realization taught by several kisses.
Lamein’s delicate shoulders shuddered.
She closed her eyes smoothly, expecting the treacherous sensation the gentle movement would bring.
“……!”
No. They snapped open, and then.
“What are you doing kissing when you said it hurts!!”
She tightly grasped the man’s hand, entwined with her fingers.
And she flipped over her body with a mysterious force, getting up.
The positions of the two changed in an instant.
“Ugh!”
He moaned shortly, burying his back in the mattress.
Lamein’s eyes, widened in surprise at that moment, quickly crumpled.
“Look at this! What are you doing if it hurts!”
Are you going to live just today?
Where’s your arrogance? Your arrogance?
As Cedric did.
She stretched out on top of Cedric’s hands on the bed, tying them up, and exhaled her breath.
Cedric’s narrowed eyes opened wide.
And he spat out a chuckling laugh.
“Laughing now? It hurt less. It hurt less.”
She tightened her fully extended arms.
She knew that no matter how much he was in pain, he could subdue her with one hand.
So, just when she was trying to make her face as threatening as possible, opening her eyes wide.
Knock knock.
“Count…… Eek!!”
Roberto, whose eyes were wider than hers, stood frozen in front of the wideopen door.
“…….”
“…….”
At that moment.
The rose of Sharon has bloome……d!
As if someone had shouted that, all movement of the three stopped.
“Hic……”
Roberto, who had pushed a strange sound into the quiet space, tightly pressed his lips and asked.
The master’s bed.
Startled, a hiccup burst out at the sight of the madam, who was mounting on the master’s hand that lay on it, bound, as if to pounce at any moment.
“I’m…I’m sorry!”
Roberto turned his body at the speed of light.
With eyes wide open, Lamein looked at Roberto, who felt flustered even from the back of his head.
…Hey. You’re misunderstanding now, aren’t you?
No. It’s not like that. It’s not.
A situation perfect for misunderstanding as a wife attacking her sick husband in the morning.
“Madam… Madam is looking for the young madam. Then, I will take my leave.”
After exchanging words with the opened door, Roberto fled the room as if escaping.
If you leave like that, what am I supposed to do…
Thud.
Upon hearing the door close,
‘@#%#^#%$.’
Lamein swallowed a severe curse.
.
.
.
The Duchess Roger’s room.
“Madam. I have conveyed the message to the young madam.”
Holding a teacup on the desk, the Duchess looked at Roberto standing at the door.
Slurp.
After taking a sip of the fragrant tea and putting it down, the Duchess slowly opened her mouth.
“How does Cedric seem?”
“He looks healthy.”
“…What? He looks healthy?”
“Yes. He’s having a more energetic morning than ever.”
Recalling the scene he had clearly witnessed a little earlier,
He couldn’t have done that if he wasn’t healthy.
Roberto nodded slowly with a confident smile.
“…Well. Then, that’s a relief.”
“You don’t need to worry at all! At all!”
Looking at Roberto, who appeared more resolute than ever, the Duchess slightly tilted her head.
“…Alright. You may leave.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Roberto left the room,
“Hoo…….”
A deep sigh was followed by a darkened expression on the Duchess’ face.
Her beloved son was injured.
She never slept well when she sent her child off to war, not until he returned.
For fear of hearing bad news.
For fear of never seeing her child’s face again.
Her heart never stopped worrying.
Hearing that Cedric was injured at the hunting party, her heart sank heavily.
“Hoo…….”
In the middle of yet another unstoppable sigh,
Knock, knock.
Lamein entered the room.
“Lamein. Come in quickly.”
Stepping into the Duchess’ room, Lamein stopped in her tracks.
The Duchess welcomed her in her usual calm voice, but her expression was darker.
‘It would be strange if it wasn’t dark.’
She heard from Jane that the Duchess hadn’t slept all night.
“Come and sit down.”
Lamein, pushing up her firm lips with effort, sat down face to face with the Duchess.
Silently watching the Duchess fill the teacup in front of her,
“Have a cup of tea.”
“Yes.”
Lamein took a sip of the tea and put it down.
And met the eyes of the Duchess, who was looking at her with a long gaze.
After a moment of silence,
“Lately, it seems a lot of unpleasant things are happening to Cedric.”
The Duchess’s worried voice filled the room.
Because it was all because of her,
Unable to respond, that’s when,
“I called you because I have something to say about those matters.”
A somewhat subdued voice came through.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
