However, being knights who disliked cumbersome decorations, their attire was luxurious yet simple, which Wyde often lamented.
Even though she had suggested to Isabelle several times to make teaparty or outing dresses more extravagant, she was repeatedly turned down.
But then, Rosette came along. Not needing to avoid decorations as she didn’t wield a sword, and with Isabelle insisting on extravagant dressing, Wyde was finally able to unleash her artistic passion on Rosette’s dresses.
That’s why the current pink dress, unlike typical children’s dresses, was incredibly ornate, even more so than Elisha Dallas’ most cherished dress.
The quality of the gems, even to Rosette’s inexperienced eye, seemed very high.
‘Can I really wear something like this?’
Won’t I look bad?
For the past two months, Rosette had been pampered by Joan and the other maids. They knew she lacked confidence in her appearance and constantly complimented her to boost her self-esteem.
As a result, Rosette had come to accept her pink hair wasn’t bad and even pondered if she could become pretty. But her confidence had grown more in her actions than her appearance.
You’re so pretty when you eat well.
How can anyone have such a beautiful smile? No one smiles better than you, my lady.
You’re so kind, my lady. Everyone likes you.
Joan was worried Rosette might become too focused on her appearance, so she praised her actions instead. Duke Adrian and the siblings did the same.
In the past, people at the Dallas residence would criticize everything Rosette did. This was the complete opposite.
Still a bit timid, Rosette no longer feared people disliking her actions.
Rosette nodded confidently.
“Yes, I’ll try it on.”
“Just as I was hoping…”
Just as Rosette raised her hands in triumph, Duke Adrian entered the room with a knock.
“Daddy!”
Rosette spotted him and immediately ran over. Duke Adrian laughed and lifted his youngest daughter into the air.
“So, Rose, what were you doing?”
“I was looking at a dress! Lady Wyde sent me a dress for spring outings!”
“A spring outing dress?”
“Yes! It’s a gift!”
Duke Adrian watched Rosette chatter like a sparrow, fascinated by her liveliness.
Watching children grow is a joyful experience. Naturally, he was pleased to see Rosette’s physical growth over the past two months.
But more than her body, it was her spirit that had grown. The once expressionless face now always carried a smile, and the once-shy girl had become confident.
“Daddy?”
“Ah, sorry, what were you saying?”
“I asked what brought you here.”
“Do I need a reason to visit?”
“No, it’s not that…”
Rosette hesitated and then hugged Duke Adrian’s neck tightly. Then, like Pipi did to her, she gently pressed her cheek against his.
Duke Adrian, who had been patting Rosette’s back, paused momentarily but soon resumed stroking her hair before she could notice.
“Actually, I did come to talk about something.”
“What is it?”
“The prince is here.”
This time, Rosette started. She lifted her head.
“The prince, as in Prince Joshua Ernhardt?”
“Yes. How did you know?”
“Well, there’s only one prince in the empire, and no citizen here would be unaware of His Highness’s name.”
Of course, that was true. Even the original eight-year-old Rosette knew about Joshua. But now, that name resonated differently with her.
Joshua Ernhardt. The last person she saw before her death, the one who triggered the reversal of time.
‘He’s here?’
Why? She was sure that Daniel had just met Joshua and returned. Why would he come all the way here?
For what reason?
Recalling him, the memories of that night, which she had barely forgotten, resurfaced.
Why did you do it? What did the Duke and Daniel do to deserve death? Why!
The outpouring of anger. Tears streaming down her pale cheeks, her trembling lips.
The cold of the prison cell. The scent of death brushing her nose.
That painful night.
‘No, no!’
Rosette closed her eyes tight and shook her head. Desperately, she clutched Duke Adrian’s shirt with both hands.
Beneath her clenched right hand, Duke Adrian’s heart beat steadily. Slower than others, but strong.
The heart that had stopped in Rosette’s hand was now beating again because she had turned back time.
Rosette buried her head against the Duke’s left chest, listening to the steady heartbeat, finally finding calm.
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…?
