Duke Hart had a lot of responsibilities as a prime minister, but this time, he firmly took a vacation because he couldn’t postpone this matter any longer. It was heard that Marquess Clint would handle the tasks that Duke Hart could do.
Although they seemed to quarrel on the surface, at times like this, they appeared to have a good relationship. On the morning of their departure to the Duke’s estate, Nelia loaded luggage onto a large carriage. Since they didn’t know how long they would stay at the Duke’s estate, she prepared plenty of luggage.
With an excited heart, Nelia, along with Reunit and Hart, boarded the carriage. Finally, Duke Hart mounted the carriage, and it soon departed.
“Wow, it’s so soft.”
Reunit exclaimed, pressing the seat cushion with his small hands. Indeed, this carriage, meant for long-distance travel, was more comfortable and spacious than the one they usually rode. Nelia was secretly amazed by the luxurious appearance of the carriage.
She worried that Reunit might say something like, ‘I’ve never seen something like this when I was with Nuna.’ Saying such things in front of Duke Hart would be disastrous. Duke Hart, being perceptive, would surely find it strange that Reunit thought that way.
“Is the Duke really rich?”
Fortunately, Reunit made a childlike remark. His gaze was fixed on the edge of the carriage, finished with golden metal.
“He really likes luxury things; whenever he sees flashy items, his eyes sparkle.”
Reunit often admired the decorations collected in the mansion. He particularly liked shiny things.
Nelia once asked why a dragon would be so materialistic, and Duke Hart explained that collecting valuable items was a dragon’s characteristic.
“It’s not me; it’s the family that possesses a lot of wealth, Reunit. Our ancestors were exceptional people in accumulating money.”
Accumulating money is a dragon’s characteristic… to put it so bluntly.
“Well, I see.”
In contrast, Reunit, upon hearing the Duke’s honest answer, nodded his small head without hesitation.
“Duke, you must have met good parents!”
Reunit’s somewhat impolite words did not faze the Duke, who simply smiled. Then, Duke Hart said to Reunit.
“Speaking of parents, I’m curious about Reunit’s parents.”
When asked about his parents, a hint of wariness appeared in Reunit’s eyes.
“Our parents…?”
“Yes.”
Nelia tensed up unexpectedly. How would Reunit answer this sudden question?
“Well, our parents… they’re good people! Even though they have entrusted me to Nelia Nuna due to some work now, it doesn’t matter because I like Nelia Nuna. That’s it.”
Reunit, who didn’t seem to have haphazardly grown older, gave a reasonably childlike response. It was an appropriately balanced answer for a child, neither too much nor too little.
Duke Hart, perhaps not sensing anything unusual, continued to smile as usual.
“I was a bit worried because Reunit never talked about his parents while he was at the mansion, but it seems it was unnecessary concern.”
“Oh, that’s… Reunit deliberately avoided talking about his parents. It seems he gets homesick when he talks about them.”
This time, Nelia provided a false explanation.
Duke Hart gently ruffled Reunit’s hair as if tousling it.
“He’s a very mature child. As a reward, I’ll give him something sweet when we get to the mansion.”
Reunit, who had a somewhat uncomfortable expression as Duke Hart touched his hair, quickly smiled at the mention of something sweet.
‘Did Duke Hart learn how to handle Reunit…?’
After that, the inside of the carriage fell silent.
The Duke read a book, Nelia leaned against the window contemplating what challenges awaited beyond the dimensional door, and Reunit…
“Wow! Look, a sparrow is flying!”
He was excited, looking at everything outside the window.
“Sis, did you see it?”
Even though he would ignore it if he got excited alone, he had to confirm if his sister saw it.
Of course, Nelia understood Reunit’s behavior. He found the changed scenery of the city, different from before being sealed in Elena’s tears, fascinating. Even if it wasn’t something entirely new, he was delighted to see animals and grass after a long time.
“That sparrow is just like Sis. You know? Sis looks like a sparrow.”
It was then that Duke Hart, who had been reading a book with a gentle demeanor, raised his head without any prior movement.
“…Do you think Reunit resembles a sparrow, Nelia?”
Reunit nodded firmly.
“Yes! He looks exactly like a sparrow. If a sparrow turned into a human, it would look like Nelia Sis.”
Duke Hart chuckled softly. Reunit’s eyebrows twisted at his reaction.
“Why are you laughing…?”
“In my view, Nelia and a sparrow have no resemblance at all. I thought children had rich imaginations.”
“Not at all. They look so alike!”
Reunit, with a dry gaze, pointed at Nelia, who had been listening to their conversation.
“That auburn hair, round eyes, and short stature. She occasionally does something petty!”
At the word ‘petty,’ Nelia widened her eyes.
“Where did Reunit learn such rude words?”
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…?
