It was quite some time later.
“…I can allow you to hold my hand.”
Adele said with a hint of arrogance.
She thought it might be more comfortable to hold hands while sleeping rather than leaving the man who might transform into a wolf beside her without knowing when.
It was definitely not because her side felt empty or because she felt regretful about not lying side by side like a same-gender couple.
Definitely not!
However, he lay straight without giving any response.
“Is he already asleep?”
“Chris, are you asleep? It’s okay to sleep while hugging if you’re not sleeping…”
Rustle.
The blanket shook as he tossed and turned.
“He wasn’t sleeping after all. Well, I didn’t expect you to sleep easily.”
Adele smiled as if she had expected it.
“Fine. I promised not to cross the line.”
Surprisingly, his response was firm.
Why? Why do I feel hurt?
“If you have that mindset, I can feel relieved. In fact, I was testing you.”
“Because it seemed like that.”
“Then, I’ll sleep.”
“Sure.”
As he tossed and turned, the mattress shook.
But Adele’s eyes became increasingly drowsy.
“Is he really going to sleep like this?”
How much time had passed like this?
This time, he initiated the conversation.
“I can make an arm pillow for you.”
After hesitating for a moment, Adele answered with a sleepy voice as if she had just awakened.
“Yeah, an arm pillow…?”
“If you don’t like it, forget it.”
“No, actually, this pillow was a bit uncomfortable.”
A somewhat transparent excuse.
But he didn’t tease her and extended his left arm. Adele, pretending to give in, rested her arm on his.
“Comfortable?”
A bit.
“Now, let’s sleep.”
Adele felt embarrassed. It seemed like he noticed that she hadn’t been able to sleep and had been glancing at him.
Of course, it must be just her mood. It’s so dark; there’s no way he could see.
Still, holding his arm like this made her feel more at ease.
“Good night. You too.”
The next morning.
When Adele opened her eyes, she was surprised.
The first thing that filled her field of vision was Kristin’s broad chest.
Unknowingly, she had clung to him and fallen asleep.
Unbelievable.
“I didn’t cross the line first!”
She twisted her body to extricate herself from him. At that moment, he exerted more strength in his arms, pulling her even tighter.
“Ugh!”
Her face was buried in his firm chest. Familiar texture and scent filled her senses, making Adele’s heart pound uncomfortably.
This level of heartbeat might even be enough to wake him up by tapping on his chest.
“It seems like you can’t sleep. Stop fidgeting.”
Oops!
“I feel suffocated.”
Adele quickly made an excuse, and Kristin looked down at her with a faint smile.
When their eyes met, Adele unconsciously let out a whimper.
“Is he human? How can someone look so perfect even after waking up?”
Her tousled hair sparkled brightly in the morning sunlight, and her languid gaze through silver eyelashes seemed dreamy enough to enchant anyone.
“Don’t look at me with that expression. It makes me want to devour you since the morning.”
I should be the one saying that!
Even his slightly hoarse voice was truly perfect.
But Adele remained composed.
“Could you ease up on your grip? To breathe, I have to lift my head, so I have no choice but to look at you.”
“I see. Then continue looking.”
“What?”
“It’s a penalty. Since you crossed the line.”
When did he notice that?
Knock, knock.
As if sensing their atmosphere, the sound of knocking on the door was heard.
Chris, send her away…
With that meaning, Adele tilted her head. However, he extended his lips into a long smile.
“We should let the employees know that we’ve reconciled so that they won’t be as uneasy, right?”
“I agree with that sentiment, but I can’t agree with this method.”
“I like this method.”
With a sly smile, he ordered towards the door.
“Come in.”
“It’s not allowed!”
Clang!
As if waiting, the door opened, and the footsteps of Tanya and the maids entering were heard. Throughout all this time, Kristin didn’t release Adele from his embrace.
Let go!
Adele shouted with her lips, but he responded with a lip movement.
“Just pretend to sleep, Adele.”
“I don’t want to. Why would I…”
“Otherwise, I’ll kiss you.”
“…!”
Although Adele made a protesting expression, she couldn’t escape from his arms.
As the sound of people approaching became closer, Kristin chuckled lightly.
“Ready?”
“Bad!”
Helplessly, Adele closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The maids, carrying water to wash and clothes to change into, came in, but they quickly averted their gaze to the floor upon seeing the two on the bed.
Since they heard movement, they thought both had awakened. However, Adele was actually pretending to be asleep in Kristin’s embrace. Moreover, he was half-exposed, revealing a sculpted body.
“Did you sleep well, milord?”
Smiling with a red face, the maids politely greeted them.
“Well, leave what you brought there. I’ll wash Adele myself.”
“…!”
Inside Kristin’s embrace, Adele squirmed, but the maids smiled with flushed faces.
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.]
