Mrs. Johnson, who was setting the table, chimed in with a word of comfort.
“You must be very worried.”
“I am concerned whenever the Allen name is involved. But I’m sure it’ll be alright soon.”
“Yes. As always, things will pass. Your husband is a very capable man, after all.”
Mrs. Johnson finished setting the table and stepped back a few paces.
‘…A very capable man indeed.’
Louisa automatically began her meal, picking up the cutlery.
There was no disputing that phrase. Edward Allen was indeed a remarkable man.
He was the first person to succeed in processing magic stones.
Processed magic stones were more convenient and efficient than any other fuel used before. As convenient as they were, public interest and wealth flocked to him, and his reputation grew day by day.
There was no problem with any of this.
“Just our relationship changing is what’s truly sad.”
Louisa stared blankly at the tip of the knife she was holding.
She longed for the days when they were the young couple in Greenberg, so different from now, when they had nothing but each other for comfort and company.
‘How do I even define us now…’
We can hardly have a comfortable conversation anymore. We can no longer be called a couple.
So, what are we?
Roommates?
Louisa thought to herself, then slowly resumed eating.
Even that seemed inadequate.
Considering Edward’s school days, he was a person who, despite finding it annoying, often mingled well with his roommates.
Then what am I to him?
Louisa pondered this question as she continued her meal. But in truth, she already knew the answer.
To Edward, Louisa Allen was probably just a heavy burden that had been weighing him down all his life.
“Since your arm’s gone, working in the lab will be impossible now.”
Jeffrey Curtis, a manager at the Allen Laboratory and Edward’s subordinate, commented.
Edward took out a cigar case from his pocket and handed it to him.
“Well… you might not be able to do research, but there will be something you can do.”
The two men stood outside the hospital, each putting a cigar in their mouth.
Jeffrey, puffing out smoke that seemed like a deep sigh, started speaking.
“Did you see the article?”
His gaze landed on a group of men holding newspapers and sneaking glances at them.
The men and Jeffrey’s eyes met.
Jeffrey snorted at them and continued, “They really went all out, didn’t they?”
“Yes, they did.”
“Must be Westwood’s influence.”
“Probably.”
“Aren’t you going to do something about it?”
Jeffrey asked incredulously. Edward took a deep puff and then replied, “Not like I have the luxury to. With key personnel gone, how can I?”
“And Mrs. Allen?”
“Louisa?”
Edward’s tone became irritated at the sudden mention of his wife.
“Don’t look at it that way. She wouldn’t just sit back in this situation.”
But Edward still seemed displeased. He quickly stubbed out his cigar in irritation.
“…No matter how much they make noise, only I can produce the results.”
“Yes, I believe so too. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t accept Mrs. Allen’s help.”
“That doesn’t mean I should leave it to Louisa either.”
Edward snatched the cigar Jeffrey was smoking, disregarded his astonished look, and threw it on the ground, stamping it out.
“We need to explain well to the investors. Let’s go.”
“Hold on, Mr. President!”
Jeffrey called out urgently.
Ignoring him, Edward kept walking away briskly.
Jeffrey sighed and chuckled bitterly. Watching his boss’s retreating back, he threw a punch into the air, cursing inwardly.
‘I’m the one who prepared all the explanations, damn it, you self-absorbed president!’
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.
