“Monica!”
“Yes, Madam.”
At the lady’s call, Monica, who had been standing behind Lilia, quickly replied.
“You’ll be the maid from now on.”
“Wha? Me…… Me?”
Monica was momentarily bewildered but soon grasped the situation and bowed in obedience.
“Th…… Thank you. I will work hard from now on.”
The countess walked past the bowing girl, shooting a sharp glance at Mirabel, meaning to do it right, then went into her room.
Without taking any measures to find Liz.
“Wait and see, Mirabel. My sister is wise, right? She won’t be roaming around late without reason. I trust my sister.”
Lilia stopped on her way up to her room and consoled Mirabel. But Mirabel didn’t feel entirely comforted by those words.
Regardless, Lilia went up to her room as if she had done her part, followed by Monica, who had just become the maid, with a triumphant attitude.
Sigh[Dash].
Mirabel was so flustered, and Miss Liz was so pitiful, that she sighed. If it weren’t for her, who would have taken care of the Miss?
Then she turned her body to head towards the entrance.
“When do you think she left?”
She turned back at the question that came from behind her.
Kain, with a hardened face, entered her sight.
It was one of the few serious looks from the guy who always seemed lively.
Mirabel couldn’t answer right away. Because Kain was the one who had decided to take responsibility and get rid of the Miss from his side.
But now, when even one extra hand was needed, such a decision seemed fine. Finding the Miss was the priority.
“I went out too, and when I came back, she was gone, so I don’t know.”
“What did the other attendants say?”
“That is…….”
“……?”
“They said they don’t know…….”
“They don’t know?”
“Yeah. No one saw her leave.”
‘How could that happen?’
Kain didn’t quite understand.
It was the daughter of the Count’s family who left, and no one saw her? How was that possible?
There were several people working at the Count’s house. At least one or two would naturally bump into her.
A sense of anxiety began to creep up.
“In my opinion.”
Mirabel carefully spoke to Kain the thoughts she hadn’t dared to tell anyone else.
“I think the Miss left the house. Even disguised and on purpose.”
“…….”
Mirabel’s words amplified Kain’s anxiety.
With dimming eyes, Kain spoke.
“I’ll be right back.”
(This is a time separator.)
Liz, who was looking at the clock, was getting frustrated.
“Why isn’t her face coming back yet?”
It was already eleven o’clock.
Wasn’t the latest she had ever come home nine o’clock? Even then, Mirabel had been frantic, thinking something had happened, crying and causing a scene. She had a hard time consoling her.
The only good thing was that the only person to console her was Mirabel.
Mother would have no interest, and neither would the others. Kain too…… probably.
Sigh[Dash].
Regret came late.
“If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have taken the medicine.”
It was utterly incomprehensible. Why had so much time passed and yet he had not returned to his original form? Could it be that the amount was different depending on the weight?
“Ah! That’s it.”
Liz suddenly realized the answer and slapped her forehead with her palm.
Calculating the dose by placing a man who was at least thirty centimeters taller than her, and whose weight was at least 1.5 times greater, on the same level as herself.
It was foolish. How much longer would it take for him to return?
There was no way to know.
If she had known this, she would have looked at the note that was with the medicine bottle. Maybe the method to quickly drive out the medicinal strength was written on it.
Was winter approaching? The night air was cold. Liz felt the chilly breeze penetrating her clothes and wrapped her shoulders. She wandered the alleys in that state.
The shops had their lights off, and the stalls that had been lined up densely during the day were long since cleared away.
Only a few people were wandering the streets, and most of them were not in good condition.
When a drunk man occasionally staggered over, Liz was startled and pressed herself against the wall.
“It won’t be dawn yet.”
Liz tried to think positively.
But where would she be until dawn?
Liz reviewed her past memories and thought about where she might be. And finally, she remembered.
There was an empty lot nearby. There were benches to sit on, and there were many trees around, so it was a place that could block the wind.
She remembered it well because she sometimes came out with Mirabel and spread out a picnic with a basket of sandwiches.
It was a bit secluded, but it didn’t seem particularly safe here with many people, so there was no reason to hesitate.
Liz hastened her steps, glancing at the vagrants in the street whose eyes gleamed ominously.
After a few alleys, the empty lot appeared quickly. As expected, there was no one around.
Liz sat down on a bench with a backrest on one side of the lot. The trees blocked the wind well, so the cold didn’t penetrate as much as before. It seemed she could endure here until dawn. However…
What if he doesn’t come back even after dawn?
A grim thought enveloped her body.
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…?
