Even though they have made promises and signed a contract, Cedric’s attitude suggests a lack of trust.
She can’t think of any other reason.
“I know what you think of me. But as I promised you, I won’t cause any trouble that you’re worried about until we get divorced.”
“Lamein, that’s not what I mean.”
Huh. Really. What do you mean it’s not?
What else? What else! Are you jealous?
Lamein let out a cynical laugh in her mind.
“And let me make it clear that I’ve never met Duke Haribo. Not even once!”
“……”
“So, I hope you stop with that unpleasant misunderstanding.”
When Lamein spoke seriously, Cedric seemed a little flustered and slowly opened his mouth.
“If you were offended by my words, I apologize.”
Cedric, who apologized smoothly, continued.
“I guess I misunderstood because of what you said.”
“……”
“How can any husband feel good when his wife wants to attend a party that he himself doesn’t want to attend, for such a reason?”
Hearing that, it seems his words make sense.
“If I may also make something clear, I didn’t ask because I was expecting you to do something that would trouble me. So, don’t misunderstand that.”
Cedric, who emitted a calm voice, met her gaze squarely.
“Yes, I understand your point. I think I thought too much about it.”
Lamein calmed her expression like Cedric.
“Well, I’m going out now. You should rest.”
“Sure.”
The man who had just argued a moment ago left the room with a calm expression.
Even after Cedric left the room, Lamein stood still, furrowing her brows.
“But is it really so annoying to see him ask with that look?”
It seemed reasonable when he spoke, but looking back on it, it feels a bit vague.
What does it matter to a man who is about to get divorced that she, who has been favoring Duke Haribo, is going to see Duke Haribo?
“It seems like he’s really jealous. Maybe he likes me?”
Tsk. Lamein, who clicked her tongue shortly, took a slow breath.
“I need to be careful with my actions. It would be troublesome if I misunderstood.”
She decided to put off the expectation to have a conversation with Duke Haribo if there is an opportunity.
…
…
…
Cedric’s knight training ground.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The sound of hitting a wooden pillar with a thick wooden bat reverberated loudly in the space.
“Why is the commander like that today?”
“Right, why is he like that these days? He’s going to break the pillar at this rate.”
The members who were taking a rest in the corner of the training ground muttered.
Ha…Ha…
Cedric, who stopped moving, exhaled roughly and threw his sweatsoaked training suit top on the ground. And then…
Thump! Thump! Thump!
He started the movement again, which seemed to be either physical training or letting off steam.
‘I said I have someone I want to see, so I would actively go. What’s the problem with that?’
Cedric, who was mulling over Lamein’s words, squinted his eyes and swung the wooden bat even harder.
His inexplicable anger kept exploding today, too.
His wife, who was usually passive, actively wanted to attend the party.
Recalling her previous comments, he jumped to the conclusion that the person could be Duke Haribo, whom he disliked intensely.
Apart from Lamein and his relationship, the fact that the person was Duke Haribo.
Just that fact alone made him feel bad.
But she said she had never met Duke Haribo.
He had misunderstood.
It was an absurd speculation.
He understood and accepted it, so there was no reason to feel bad.
“Is it okay to say that there is no problem wanting to watch someone while leaving your husband beside you?”
Now she was pissed at her words.
“Do you not know the Duke of Haribo? Is someone else coming to the party tomorrow?”
Her muscles and boundless imagination began to grow along with her training.
“Even if I meet a man I want to see with a body that already has a husband, I can only look at his face. I can’t do anything else. Right?”
Last night. The image of her pouring kisses while on top of my body passes through my head.
“Do you want to leave your heart to someone else and do that with me?”
Thunk! Thunk! Whack!!
A sound different from the dull sound that continued to ring out echoed in the training field.
Something that was floating in the air spins around and falls to the ground.
“Aw! You startled me!”
“Hey! Look! I told you something of mine would break!!”
The scary sounding wooden mace had split in two.
Just when the members had gathered their heads together and were whispering again.
“End the training here for today.”
The leader, whose head was covered with dark clouds, left the training field.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The next day.
Lamein and Cedric boarded a carriage to head towards Duke Haribo’s mansion.
Lamein, dressed in a lovely dress with a faint pink hue, took a slow breath.
The first time meeting other nobles.
The conversations to come would be predictable.
The thought of sitting and listening to unconstructive conversations made her feel a bit tired.
Lamein, who was idly looking out the window of the carriage, turned her gaze.
Her husband, dressed in a splendid suit, was looking out the window with an indifferent expression.
His already handsome face was not just radiant today, it was dazzling.
Instead of appreciating the view outside, it seemed that admiring her husband’s face would bring tranquility to her eyes, so she was carefully watching when.
Feeling her gaze, Cedric suddenly turned his head.
Lamein, who was slightly taken aback, stretched her mouth long and gently narrowed her eyes.
“Do you have something to say?”
A particularly dry voice came out.
“No. Nothing at all.”
You’re so handsome I was just looking, but you’re quite scary.
Swallowing her thoughts, Lamein gave a slight smile.
Her husband turned his head back to the window with a dry expression.
‘Is he in a bad mood? Well, it was a place he didn’t want to go in the first place, so that makes sense.’
Lamein nodded slowly.
‘But why isn’t he on good terms with Duke Haribo?’
It doesn’t seem like the kind of atmosphere where he would tell me if I asked.
While thinking about various things, the carriage arrived in front of Duke Haribo’s mansion.
Cedric, who got off first, extended his hand and Lamein, who got off the carriage while holding it, widened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was the flowers planted in the mansion’s front garden, stretching out as far as she could see.
“Wow. There are so many flowers.”
Lamein exclaimed as she spoke.
“The Haribo family has been in the flower business since the old days.”
Cedric gave a brief explanation.
“So they’re still in the flower business now?”
“Of course. Most of the flowers planted in the current Kingdom of Martin’s garden have come through the Duke of Haribo.”
Cedric walked slowly, folding his arms, and carefully looked around the garden.
There were trees of peculiar shapes and flowers she had never seen before.
‘That’s probably why they were able to get herbs more easily.’
Lost in thought, she headed inside the mansion.
Following the guide’s directions, she arrived in front of the banquet hall where the party was being held today.
‘Is Duke Haribo inside there?’
Lamein looked at the large door, adorned with fancy designs, and stiffly tightened her waist.
As the large doors flung open, the sounds of sweet music and conversation flowed from inside the banquet hall.
The moment she entered the banquet hall, arm in arm with Cedric.
“……!”
Lamein’s round eyes enlarged uncontrollably.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
