The next morning, Lamein finished dressing to have breakfast and stood in front of the door.
As she was about to open the door wide,
“Lady, I’ve been waiting for you.”
Lamein, who discovered her husband leaning against the corridor wall, raised her eyebrows.
“Cedric, are you going to the dining room?”
After being injured, he had been having meals only in the room.
“Yes, I’ve been waiting to go with you.”
He, with an oddly bright smile, straightened up from the wall where he had been leaning.
…Is it that good?
It’s been a while, but they used to go to the same restaurant every day before.
Looking at her husband, who seemed several times happier than usual, she made a puzzled expression.
‘Well, he’s been confined for so long. It might be that. I would probably feel the same.’
Nodding her head while changing perspectives, she said, “Shall we go, then?”
“Yes.”
Approaching, Cedric lightly grabbed her arm, and they walked together.
The morning sun painted the corridor floor like watercolor.
“The sky is really beautiful.”
Cedric said, looking out the window.
“Yes, it is.”
When Lamein lightly replied,
“The sunlight is also very beautiful.”
Cedric said again.
It was indeed a day with a beautiful sky and sunlight, but…
‘He’s not a man who used to say such things well. He seems genuinely happy.’
…I’ve restricted him too much. I’ve confined him too much.
Now, she begins to reflect.
Lamein turned her head to meet the gaze of her husband looking at her.
And she softened her gaze.
“Yes, it is.”
The man who had been gazing steadily at her flashed a charming smile and looked straight at her.
Holding hands, they continued walking together, basking in the beautiful sunlight.
When they arrived at the restaurant,
Suddenly, Cedric, who had stopped walking, looked at her.
‘Why did he stop?’
Curious, Lamein turned her head.
“I couldn’t say something earlier.”
A servant who had been waiting for them opened the restaurant door.
At that moment, glancing at the duke and duchess sitting in front of the large dining table, then turning his gaze back to his wife.
“However, in my eyes, you are more beautiful.”
“…!”
At the sweet compliment that flew unexpectedly in her defenseless state, Lamein momentarily swallowed her breath.
That breath hit her heart like a tap.
Thump-thump.
The faintly beating heart began to race.
…Hey, where did my blinkers go?
Blinking rapidly in confusion.
“Let’s go inside.”
With a more casual smile than usual, her husband said.
As the two entered the restaurant,
“Cedric, come in.”
The duchess welcomed her son, who appeared in the restaurant after a long time, with a bright smile.
“Lamein, come in as well.”
The duchess, who greeted Lamein with affection as always, smiled contentedly.
“Did you sleep well?”
Cedric, who just a while ago was delivering sweet lines, greeted them with a voice that sharply contrasted with the earlier sweet tone.
The two sat side by side at the dining table.
After a while.
“Did you sleep well?”
As always, with a very bright voice, Elina appeared.
“Did you sleep well?”
After that, Kilian revealed himself.
“Yeah. Both of you, come on in. Today, the family has gathered in one place after a long time.”
In the delighted voice of the Duchess.
“Oh! It’s really been a long time since we had a meal together.”
Elina said, laughing brightly while chiming in.
“Cedric, how is your body?”
Kilian asked as he sat down.
“As you can see, I’m almost completely healed.”
“But still, don’t overexert yourself. According to Arend, the injury is deep, so it might take quite a while to fully recover.”
“Yeah, I’m being careful.”
After the short conversation between the two,
“Now, let’s all eat.”
With Duke Roger’s words, the meal began.
By the time the dishes in front of them were being emptied one by one,
“During this time, I was so preoccupied that I didn’t mention something.”
The Duchess, who had been absent-minded due to Cedric’s injury, spoke.
“Tomorrow, Duke Rosette is hosting a party at the new villa he built.”
“A new villa? Where is it?”
Kilian asked as if he were struck dumb.
“He has been building a villa by Lake Saharina for the past few years.”
“Oh, I had no idea.”
“It was completed about a month ago. To celebrate its completion, it seems like he’s throwing a very grand party.”
Duke Rosette was the younger brother of the king and owned more than half of the mines in the Martin Kingdom.
A true influential figure and a man with power. It was almost impossible to decline the invitation of such a man.
“Kilian is planning to visit the Northern Kingdom with me starting tomorrow, so it seems he won’t be able to attend.”
Duke Roger began to decide who would attend.
“And Cedric, with that condition, it might be difficult to attend. So, go together with your wife.”
The two people here were Lamein and Elina.
“If it’s a party hosted by Duke Rosette, I really wanted to go. It worked out well.”
Elina said with an excited expression.
‘What’s different about a party hosted by the duke?’
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…?
