“I need to see the situation before I can enter. But I was ready to go in if something happened to you, Miss! Really!”
Such a window talker.
“Miss, are we going home now?”
“Yes, let’s go home.”
Isabel, who went to the seaside, must be on her way back too. Biti and I headed to the Marsen mansion. Walking with my arms wrapped around my chest, bracing against the cold wind. The mansion, with the lights still off, came into view.
Nobody has come yet.
As we entered the mansion, unlike the warm Fenton mansion, a cold chill lingered.
To raise the temperature in the cold mansion, Biti immediately went to the fireplace and lit a fire. I sat in front of it, melting my stiff body. Meanwhile, the maids resting in the room came out and prepared dinner.
With the sound of chopping, the house finally felt inhabited.
Had some time passed? The voices of Silke mingled at the front door.
“It was really fun!”
“I never knew the winter sea was so beautiful!”
The door of the mansion opened. Once again, the cold wind entered through the door. My lips began to tremble. Silke and Swell ran to the fire as soon as they saw it, the same for them.
Felicia, who was taking off her coat, also sat next to me. Soon, the space in front of the fire was filled.
“Hey Lise, won’t you give up that seat to me?”
I turned my head to see Bernard standing behind me, still in his coat and shivering. His nose was bright red, and his lips were colorless. He looked like he would freeze to death if I didn’t give up the seat.
I eventually got up to give Bernard my seat.
“Lise.”
I was about to go into the room when Isabel called me.
“Yes, Mother.”
“What did you do alone today?”
I knew she would ask.
“I played with the horse in the stable.”
“Really?”
“Yes. That’s why my shoes are dirty.”
I lied, using the dirty shoes as evidence. In fact, the dirt had gotten on them not because of the stable but from the path from the Fenton house to the Marsen house earlier.
Fortunately, Isabelle went into her room without much suspicion. I too went into my room after looking at the four gathered around the bonfire.
‘Now, let’s remember.’
I pulled out a piece of paper from the drawer and the fountain pen I had bought last time.
I had to write down the chess record I had with Duke Fenton. It was my first time writing it down, so the way to write was a little confusing, but fortunately, I wrote it down to the end. I smiled with satisfaction and looked at the finished work again and again.
An isolated pawn. Duke Fenton was right. The pawn was isolated.
The isolated pawn was looking at the clustered pieces moving forward, all alone.
I was looking at the pawn for a long time when it was time for dinner. My father, who had finished his work, was sitting there too. They picked up their forks and knives right away without praying as soon as the meal was served. Everyone focused on putting food in their mouths.
My father, who finished his meal first, glanced at his watch. Realizing that it was still early to get up, he reluctantly opened his mouth.
“What did you do today?”
“We went to the beach with the children.”
Isabelle said in an emotionless tone.
“It must have been fun.”
“It would have been if Felicia hadn’t knocked me down.”
Bernard grumbled.
“The twins knocked me down first!”
Felicia flared up at that.
“Swell started it first.”
“What are you talking about? Silke, you agreed too!”
It seemed that a lot had happened. I was the only one who kept my mouth shut while everyone was shouting. I didn’t want to join in that conversation, but in fact, I had nothing to say.
I can’t join that conversation.
Then I realized that this situation was no different from before.
Looking at it, both Fenton’s family and those in front of me had a family connected by the same blood.
There’s the same blood in Yune and Yurik. Similarly, the twins, Felicia, and Bernard had the same blood flowing in their bodies. Only I did not belong to either of those two affiliations.
Even if I expand my territory and look around, there was no one who had the same lineage as me.
Then I felt someone’s gaze. When I turned my head slightly, Isabelle’s and my eyes met.
“What are you doing, sitting blankly?”
When she asked, I lowered my head.
“It’s nothing.”
[This is a time separator.]It was a little past midnight. Yurik, who had not yet fallen asleep, was sitting on the front hall sofa, thinking hard.
“Yurik?”
“……Father.”
Duke Fenton, who had just come out of his study after a long day’s work, approached his son.
“It’s late, what are you doing not sleeping?”
“I was thinking.”
“Thinking?”
Yurik nodded his head.
“……Father. Does Lise want a younger sibling?”
“What?”
“I saw Lise’s sad face today. I also saw Lise smiling bitterly looking at Yune and me. Lise is the youngest. So maybe she wants a younger sibling, not an older sister or brother.”
At Yurik’s words, the Duke let out a small laugh. The Duke sat next to Yurik and put his arm around his shoulder.
“Hmm, she smiled bitterly?”
“Yes.”
“She doesn’t want a younger sibling. Nor an older sister or brother.”
“Then what is it?”
“In my opinion, it seems that you won’t be able to fulfill what Lise wants.”
“Why?”
When Yurik flared up, the Duke smiled as if it were difficult.
“Why so? Do you want to fulfill Lise’s wish?”
“……I.”
“Even if it hurts you?”
“I just……want Lise to smile.”
Always.
Now and in the future.
That’s all there is to it.
“Because that’s what matters most.”
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…?
