When Pride Falls at Your Feet (19 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 44
Enrico, who had been about to eat, stopped what he was doing and stared at her. Though he said nothing, his eyes clearly asked, “Why now, all of a sudden?”
“I think I’ll probably have to look into it until evening tomorrow, so if we’re going for a walk by the sea, today seems like the best time.”
“……Do as you please.”
“Yes.”
Enrico fixed his gaze firmly on Emilia once more before turning his attention back to the dining table.
For a while, the only sound was that of cutlery. Though the prepared dishes looked simpler than the meal they’d had yesterday at the city restaurant, they tasted far better.
Emilia, newly appreciating the main chef’s skill at the ducal residence—something she hadn’t noticed before—ate every last bite on her plate.
Even after dancing all day and exhausting her body, she rarely ate this much, yet today her appetite was surprisingly strong. Emilia looked at her empty dessert plate with a curious expression.
‘Could it be because of the place?’
Enrico finished his meal around the same time, and the two rose from their seats. Emilia glanced once at him—strangely, he hadn’t touched his wine—and quickly looked away without hesitation.
They met again thirty minutes later. Just as before, Emilia wore a shawl, as if determined not to shiver from the cold.
“We’re not walking all the way to the seaside.”
She’d already been dreading the thought of walking from here to the beach, so his suggestion was perfect. Emilia brightened slightly and accepted his escort as she stepped into the carriage.
The route to the sea was completely devoid of buildings. Unlike Desiro, which always shimmered with lights even when nearly empty of people, this was an utterly tranquil landscape. The carriage raced down the forest path, guided as though by moonlight itself.
The wind wasn’t strong, so the inside of the carriage remained quiet—so quiet, in fact, that she could clearly hear the ticking of his pocket watch.

Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”
※※※
When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
