Suddenly, memories long forgotten resurfaced in Liz’s mind, and she smiled comfortably.
“Come to think of it, the situation is the same as back then.”
Hersis said with a soft smile, his eyes conveying a hint.
Liz realized what he was saying. Although the circumstances were different, it was a time when her body felt unburdened. So, they danced like this, embraced in his arms.
But… there was a decisive difference from back then.
“What’s the same? People are different. Back then, it was Cain, and now…”
“What’s different about the person? Didn’t I say I’m Cain?”
“What are you talking about?”
Liz let out a bitter laugh.
“You didn’t say that not long ago. You claimed that you were different from Cain, so everything done in his face is invalid, didn’t you?”
“…”
Hersis remained silent.
There were times when Liz wondered if there would be a day when he couldn’t speak, and it seemed like that day had come.
In the sudden situation, laughter burst out from Liz involuntarily.
Then Hersis squinted his eyes and said, “Why are you laughing? Is it such a joyous occasion that I’ve become speechless?”
“Not at all.”
Liz placed her lips close to Hersis’s ear and whispered.
“Just because you’re too cute.”
He paused for a moment.
“Is this seduction?”
“…Seduction?”
Liz widened her eyes, wondering.
‘What did I do?’
All she did was speak a little closer to his ear.
Feeling embarrassed to say it out loud, she did that, but did he really think of it as seduction?
Then, suddenly, her thoughts shifted to a completely unrelated direction from the current situation.
Thinking that he might consider such a minor stimulus as seduction, Liz wondered how much this man was enduring.
A sudden sense of crisis struck her.
“Please put me down.”
Liz said. It would be better to first detach herself from his body, which she was sticking to.
However, Hersis didn’t put her down.
“Don’t cover it.”
He said with a smirk.
“I also hope for my child to be born healthy.”
The momentarily paused dance naturally resumed.
The music reached its climax.
Hersis, holding Liz, smoothly spun clockwise, then spun counterclockwise.
A year ago, even underwater, they danced like this, cutting through the water’s flow.
Remembering that moment after a long time, Liz felt a renewed sense of emotion. Then… Hersis began to look like Cain.
It was a common occurrence, but at the same time, it was also the first time.
There had been countless times when she saw Cain in him. However, there had never been a time when, in such a short time, the two figures interchanged consecutively.
After turning half a circle, he became Cain, and returning to the original position, he became Hersis again. When he gave her a gentle gaze, he looked like Hersis, and when he smiled brightly, he became Cain again.
Later, every time Liz blinked, the person changed.
After several repetitions, only Hersis remained at the end. But now, Liz could naturally see the image of Cain embedded in him without making a special effort.
It was the moment when the two who had been separated for a long time finally merged in Liz’s mind.
Suddenly, a good idea came to her.
“I’ve decided.”
As if trying to understand what Liz meant, Hersis tilted his head, and she spoke with a reminiscent expression.
“The child’s name. I want to name him Cain.”
Hersis stopped his movements. His gaze subtly shook. Perhaps… he didn’t like it?
“Not really?”
“No.”
“…?”
“I was thinking the same thing. Just now.”
A bright smile spread across Liz’s face like watercolor paint.
A name was given to the child. A name she would call while gently stroking her belly.
Liz could now naturally recall.
‘Cain.’
…Calling out, and the round, droll-eyed boy turning around with a toy in his hand.
The named child smiled brightly. Seeing that scene unfolding in her mind without discomfort, it was clear that the child also wanted that name.
“Why did I forget that name until now?”
Hersis asked. Liz replied as if it were obvious.
“Maybe because it’s too familiar. Things we’re accustomed to tend to be forgotten.”
“Could be.”
He chuckled and continued.
“There was a time when you were like that to me, too. Like the air I lived with, so familiar that I forgot about it.”
“…”
“I realized it the moment you left. That without air, you can’t breathe.”
“…”
“Thank you for not leaving twice. Liz.”
The confession was so sweet, and intoxicated with the joy of finally naming the child, with the mellifluous music in the background, Liz wanted to kiss his lips.
Hersis sensed her feelings and lifted his body suddenly. In an instant, Liz was higher than Hersis.
In that state, Liz slowly tilted her head. Perhaps because it was the first attempt in a long time, her fingertips gripping his shoulder trembled with tension.
Gradually, the gap between their two lips narrowed. A little more, and against the backdrop of the sweet music, they would share a delightful kiss. But…
“…!”
Liz stopped as she noticed someone beyond him.
Without even looking back, Hersis accurately identified the intruder.
“What’s going on? Duke Valdemion?”
His voice, now lowered, seemed slightly annoyed by the interruption to their rare moment of intimacy.
However, Ishar’s face was not welcoming at all. It was so cold that Liz felt frightened to look directly at it.
“There’s a fire. In Codel 12th District.”
But the moment to face it head-on had come.
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…?
