Hadel barely reacted to those words.
“…….”
Since Hadel always exerted all his strength to control his emotions to produce flames, he was able to maintain a poker face as much as possible.
The birds, oblivious to Hadel’s hesitation, turned away.
“Then, we’ll really go.”
Their sly smiles were sinister. The steward sighed and asked Hadel.
“Should I sprinkle some salt?”
“Stop it. What reason is there to be caught by the tail at the end?”
“But it still feels unpleasant.”
Instead of answering, Hadel turned away quickly. The steward whispered in admiration, ‘As expected of His Highness.’
However, contrary to what was visible, his mind had already become as dizzy as it could be. Hadel clenched his fist.
‘How do the birds know that name?’
Marian.
The name Kkyukkyu told him.
‘Does Kkyukkyu know something?’
But when faced with the birds, Marian rolled like someone she had never seen before. If she knew something, she would have reacted with a question like ‘Why are you here?’ at that time.
But Marian might be hiding the truth from him. Hadel only knew two things about Marian.
She used to be a human, and her name is Marian.
He didn’t know the reason she became a jokjevi in the first place.
“Phew.”
His head was complicated. Knowing that he would mess up if he faced someone with such feelings, Hadel took a deep breath in front of his room and calmed his mind.
‘Yes. I just need to ask. She’s not someone who can deceive others. She probably didn’t answer because I didn’t ask.’
Although it hadn’t been a long time since he got to know Marian, it was enough time to know that she was honest and affectionate. With a calm mind, Hadel cautiously opened the door to his room.
‘Yes. Just ask. It’s that simple. She’s not someone who can deceive others. She probably didn’t answer because I didn’t ask.’
Although it hadn’t been a long time since he got to know Marian, it was enough time to know that she was honest and affectionate. With a calm mind, Hadel cautiously opened the door to his room.
Contrary to his tension, the white jokjevi was lying on his bed, looking adorable. The front paws, slightly hovering in the air, shook intermittently.
It was a nap.
‘She’s sleeping.’
Since Marian was sleeping, his heart felt even lighter. Hadel approached her quietly so as not to wake her. Then he bent his knees, leaning his upper body on the bed.
The jokjevi, seen up close, looked even cuter and more adorable. Whether she had taken a bath or just fallen asleep, there was a soapy scent coming from her slightly damp fur.
“Kkyukkyu.”
Hadel called her. When the jokjevi didn’t react at all, he called her name more carefully.
“……Marian.”
As he pushed that name out of his tongue, the feeling from the tip of his tongue to the inside of his mouth became sweet.
How could even the name be so sweet?
‘Her face is as pretty as candy.’
Like ornaments decorating a Christmas tree, she was entirely fluffy and pink. Her hair, peach-like cheeks, elbows, knees, everything was.
Hadel recalled the face of her that he had gazed at endlessly in the study yesterday. When he met Marian’s gaze, he pretended to read a book, but, in reality, the words didn’t register in his eyes.
‘Her sleeping figure was beautiful.’
Ironically, when she had her eyes open, he couldn’t comfortably meet her face. His heart thumped loudly.
So, he carefully observed the sleeping Marian’s face. Her abundant eyebrows, cheeks like sprinkled pearl dust, and round forehead. It was as if he was engraving them into his eyes.
However, what was this? With Marian right in front of him, the face he saw yesterday didn’t come to mind like a lie. Hadel’s gaze involuntarily went to her lips.
‘Lips…’
Even though she was a jokjevi and adorable, he also wanted to see the face of the human Marian. If he gave in to such a desire and kissed her, would she scold him for being disrespectful, or would she laugh, saying she couldn’t stop him?
‘Am I going crazy?’
What was he thinking while looking at a sleeping person? Hadel bit his parched lips. It felt absurd to himself.
Even so, he continued to stare at Marian for a long time, leaning on the bed. He couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Hello, a powerful and healthy morning!
Having slept well and woken up, I could rise from bed more energetically than ever.
It was all thanks to Hadel, who had put me inside a shirt.
‘Ah, it’s warm.’
In the past, I couldn’t understand why adults would carry around a hot water bottle like a baby all winter, but now I understood. If the body is cold, the blood circulation slows down, and the mind doesn’t wake up quickly. That’s probably why arms and legs move sluggishly.
‘Hadel, my warm hot water bottle-like guy.’
Thinking about how I cried and sniffled in the forest, trembling all night when Hadel wasn’t there, there really was no better angel. Feeling good, I clung to Hadel’s chest. Hadel, who felt my movement, gently tapped me on the back outside the shirt.
“Are you awake?”
“Kkyu.”
Thanks to that, I woke up very well.
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…?
