There Is No Paradise Where I Ran Away To (14 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 37
Charlotte waited for Merian under the porch of the dress shop. More than ten minutes had passed since Merian went inside, yet there was no news at all. She debated whether to return to the shabby inn room where the drunk was staying.
Long ago, he had been the opponent she fought with over Edwin’s matter, and it was also true that he had tried to kill the person most precious to her.
Asking such a person for help with her safety was no different from falling into self-contradiction.
‘Still, he’s Ebelline’s friend. He probably isn’t that bad of a person.’
She stopped herself from reprimanding why she had tormented her if she evaluated Ebelline that way. Otherwise, the conversation would return to the starting point, only inflating worry and anxiety.
On top of that, Charlotte, utterly exhausted, reduced her worries by leaving it to Merian.
This should be enough, so let’s go back.
Knowing that Evans wouldn’t gladly accept her, she judged it better to back out before suffering more embarrassment. She knew she was upholding her pride even in such a situation, but there was no other choice.
“Miss!”
Just then. The bell of the dress shop rang, and an excited voice floated out. Merian joyfully waved her hand, beckoning her to come in.
Having just made up her mind, her steps hesitating to enter the dress shop. Then, Merian chased out and pushed Charlotte’s back, leading her to enter the dress shop of all places. As soon as that happened, facing Theo with wide-open eyes, she awkwardly and embarrassedly lowered her head.
“……Th, thank you.”
Even to Charlotte’s gentle greeting, Theo distanced himself without any response.
“He really has no manners, doesn’t he?”
When Merian whispered softly, she sharply glared and restrained her. The intimidated Merian stepped back, and Charlotte gathered courage to move her steps toward where he was headed. In the small room, the hand handling the dress with pins in his lips was more delicate and careful than when holding a gun.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
