Mia stepped closer, her eyes mischievously twinkling.
“Now, stay still, Adel.”
“Ugh! Please, I hate this. Didn’t you say to act naturally?”
“Oh, for noble ladies, this is natural. Please bear with it for a moment, miss.”
“Tanya, you too!”
So the two women teamed up to apply makeup to Adel and style her hair.
It seemed as if feeding them pie was a mistake. They were too energetic.
“He’s here!”
Tanya, looking out of the window, shouted a moment later.
“Oh, perfect timing.”
Mia, who had just finished Adel’s makeup, looked satisfied.
“Can I have a mirror……”
As Adel reached out her hand, Mia quickly hid the handheld mirror behind her back and laughed.
“Don’t worry. The concept for today is ‘madeup yet not madeup’.”
“I think it’s too madeup.”
With that, Adel quickly snatched the mirror from Mia.
The moment she faced her reflection, she almost screamed.
“Mia, surely this woman isn’t me?”
Adel in the mirror had a white, overly powdered face and lips painted with an overly bright red lipstick. The blush on her cheeks was rather exaggerated.
And with flowers added to her nowloosened hair…
“Were you surprised because you’re too pretty?”
Adel gave a dry laugh. Of course, only her eyes were smiling.
“Yep, I was really shocked. So, shall we wipe it off now?”
As Adel tried to wipe off her makeup, Mia quickly grabbed her hand.
“No way, you’re too pretty right now!”
“Do you think Mark likes women who look like they’ve been caught by a rat?”
“The mirror must be weird. You look really pretty in person.”
“Let go, Mia? Otherwise, the pie you ate earlier might be your last.”
Although Adel was still smiling, her eyes were very fierce.
“Ooh…… No.”
But Mia didn’t back down, stubbornly shaking her head.
Just then,
“Welcome!”
Accompanied by Tanya’s hearty voice, a young man carrying a large veterinarian bag entered.
“Mark! Long time no see!”
Mia, who had been arguing with Adel, quickly ran to hug Mark. Then she hurriedly led him over to Adel for introductions.
Helplessly, Adel had to face Mark with a face that was overly madeup.
“You two already know each other, right? But let’s formally introduce today. This is my beloved friend Adel, and this is my one and only brother Mark.”
Mark scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
“I’m sorry if my sudden visit surprised you. Mia told me it’s been a long time since she saw my face and insisted I stop by……”
“No, you’re welcome. We just baked some pies, you should have some before you go.”
Mark salivated at the sweet aroma of the freshly baked pies permeating the house.
“I was feeling hungry, so I’ll take up your offer shamelessly. I just finished a complicated calf delivery at the Johnson farm.”
“Oh, are both the mother and the calf healthy?”
“Fortunately, yes.”
As he took a seat at the table, Adel brought out a freshly baked apple pie from the oven. It was a pie she had set aside for Mia to take home.
Watching them, Tanya quietly whispered to Mia.
“The two of you seem to get along better than I thought.”
“Of course! My brother is just like me, attractive, wellmannered, and lacking nothing.”
“Well, I’m not sure about that……”
Tanya couldn’t agree with that statement.
Unlike the cheerful and talkative Mia, Mark was cheerful but wellbehaved. His neatly groomed brown hair and deep blue eyes were also neat and gentle.
His appearance was so handsome that he would stand out anywhere, and his tall height and moderately firm physique were sufficiently masculine.
Tanya smiled in satisfaction, nodding her head.
“Right, I forgot! Tanya, I forgot to bring the knitting yarn you asked for. With my scatterbrained mind.”
Knitting yarn?
As Tanya looked at her, confused about what she meant, Mia winked.
Tanya, catching on to Mia’s intention, played along.
“Really? What should we do? I absolutely need it today.”
“Shall we go together and get it?”
“Shall we?”
As the two of them united in their intention to leave, Adel was taken aback.
Mia reassured the surprised Adel.
“We’ll be right back, Adel.”
But it was too obvious from Mia’s expression that they wouldn’t be back soon.
“I’ll go get the yarn later, too.”
As Adel whispered, mindful of Mark, Mia quickly shook her head.
“No, don’t worry. We’ll bring yours as well.”
“Mia…”
Adel called out in embarrassment, her lips forming the words.
But Mia replied with a lipmotioned ‘Watch me.’ Her face was gleeful.
“Then I’ll get up.”
Mark, noticing Adel’s discomfort, attempted to rise. But wasn’t he just seated as a guest?
“No, please stay. We’ll be right back.”
Adel, who stopped him, subtly warned Tanya, as the hostess.
“Tanya, there’s a lot to do today, so come back quickly.”
“Of course. I’ll be back, miss!”
But the bright smile on Tanya’s face showed that Adel’s warning had no effect.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Now only Adel and Mark were left in the house, seated across the table from each other.
The sudden situation left Adel flustered.
Well, even so, would it be good if things went well with him?
Adel tried hard to view the situation positively. Rumors of her remarriage had already spread. If her closeness with Mark became known, the rumors about her and Christine would naturally die down.
Then he could marry the princess smoothly…
Wishing for that, hadn’t she asked for Mark to be introduced?
“It seems quiet in the Oswald household lately.”
“Huh?”
Lost in thought, Adel looked up at him.
Mark took a large bite out of the triangularly cut pie.
“Your face looks better than before… nice.”
“Ah… this is…”
Was this man still into the crazy woman who had caught a rat?
Adel was embarrassed, recalling the heavy makeup she had seen on her face in the mirror earlier.
“Of course, that intense makeup must be Mia’s handiwork.”
“Fortunately, you have a keen eye.”
“Only for those I’m interested in.”
With an indifferent face, Mark sipped his tea.
Adel also feigned indifference and pretended not to hear.
But being alone with a man who had confessed an interest in her was too awkward and disconcerting.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
