Roberto swallowed hard.
“Madam has not returned yet.”
And he spoke in the calmest voice possible.
Cedric, facing him directly, had a face that was coldly frozen, as if he had never experienced emotions.
Roberto squeezed his hands, which had started to sweat coldly.
“When Madam arrives, I’ll tell her…”
“No. There’s no need.”
Cedric, interrupting the speech, slowly closed and opened his eyes.
“I’ll go to La Maine’s room.”
And with a heavy footstep, he moved away.
Thunk.
Cedric, who had opened the door to La Maine’s room, stopped there and slowly scanned the room.
Just looking at the space where she wasn’t present made his chest shudder as if sharp blades were embedded.
He entered the room, suppressing rough breaths.
A neatly arranged bed with a blanket.
An image of La Maine, nestled in his arms, smiling lovingly, flashed like an afterimage.
“When can I hold you?”
“Whether it’s a month or more, I can wait as long as it takes.”
He sighed with a futile breath, recalling the words he had said.
What could she have thought when she heard my words?
Why didn’t she say anything to me?
…In the end, I…
Am I only worth that much to her?
Is it my fault for not giving her trust?
The arrow of resentment that flew towards her pierced deep into his heart.
After darkness completely swallowed the sky, La Maine and Jane arrived at the mansion.
“Madam, I’ll prepare the bath.”
As soon as Jane entered the mansion, she quickly said.
“I’ll bathe alone. Jane, you must be tired, so just prepare and rest in the room.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Jane, who had declined the bath several times, responded obediently, hurrying to move.
When they turned the corner of the corridor leading to the room…
“Madam, have you returned?”
Appearing like someone who had been waiting, Roberto bent his waist politely.
“Yeah, I’m back. Is Cedric back?”
Perhaps eager to see the face of the husband who might have worried about her, she quickly asked.
“Yes, he has returned.”
Roberto answered.
At that moment, La Maine raised her eyelids slightly.
For some reason, Roberto’s expression felt darker than usual.
What’s going on? She was about to ask, and at that moment, Roberto’s lips opened again.
“The Viscount is waiting in Madam’s room.”
“Cedric is waiting in my room?”
In response to La Maine’s questioning voice.
“Yes, he is waiting in Madam’s room.”
Roberto answered while maintaining the dark expression this time as well.
La Maine rolled her eyes over Roberto’s face.
“Roberto, is there something wrong?”
“…Yes? No, there’s nothing.”
Quickly adjusting his expression, Roberto straightened his waist.
“But why is your expression so dark?”
“…”
“Is there really nothing wrong?”
Looking straight into Roberto’s eyes, he hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth.
“I’m not sure exactly what’s going on, but the Viscount doesn’t seem to be in a good mood.”
“Cedric isn’t in a good mood?”
Roberto nodded.
“I was debating whether to tell you that the Viscount isn’t in a good mood, so my expression might not have been good. I apologize.”
“No, there’s no need to apologize.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
La Maine raised her eyes subtly.
‘How bad can his mood be for Roberto to say that?’
Your couple matters are something you should handle on your own.
Roberto refrained from making comments between the two, thinking like someone who believes that.
“Okay, I’ll go straight to my room.”
“Yes. I’ll withdraw now.”
Once you go, you’ll know.
She decided not to indulge in unnecessary imagination about someone she could meet in a few minutes.
“Ah…!”
Walking along the corridor, La Maine let out a short sigh.
Then, she stood still.
Muscle cramps started in her thighs, and a sturdy pain was felt.
Taking a short breath, she smoothed her distorted expression.
And she moved again.
‘Today is really exhausting.’
It was a day that was several times more tiring than other days due to riding a horse all day.
She raised her head slightly, shaking off the slightly drooping head.
And she moved again.
‘I wonder if someone is waiting for me at the end of this long corridor.’
A faint smile spread on La Maine’s lips.
The feeling that this fatigue would disappear once she was embraced in her husband’s arms.
‘Maybe Cedric is waiting for me like that.’
Perhaps Cedric spent the day wanting comfort for something unpleasant.
Thinking like that made her heart start beating.
The excitement of someone waiting for her.
The emotion that she couldn’t find the right words to express rushed through her heart, then subsided like a tide.
She decided not to spend time finding words that matched that emotion.
Instead, she slightly increased the pace of her steps.
Right now.
The only thought she had was that she wanted to see him.
The only thought she had was that she wanted to see him.
She opened the door wide and entered the room.
With her back turned, her husband stood in front of the window.
The short distance to this place felt unusually distant today.
However, she was more excited and happy than ever.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
