Who Did You Say My Father Is? - Chapter 23
Seeing Celeste again, she seemed, well, like a different person. Carl overlaid the image of Celeste from two years ago with the one in front of him now.
Indeed, even the Celeste who had come to him two years ago was quite different from the one he had occasionally seen passing by before.
“Carl, we really need to talk.”
Although they had never actually spoken, despite occasionally seeing each other from a distance, Celeste, who suddenly sought him out two years ago, behaved as if they were close.
“I don’t have time, Carl.”
She had even come to his hidden villa and called him by his first name without hesitation.
“Papa.”
Warmth brushed against his fingertips. Carl was jolted from his memories by something touching his hand.
“Bya-ba.”
The child, who had been soundly asleep until just moments ago, was looking up at him with twinkling blue eyes. Despite their efforts to be quiet, they had disturbed the child’s sleep.
Blinking a few times, the child fully opened his eyelids and gave him a big, toothless smile.
“Pa, pa.”
It wasn’t a mistake. The child looked straight at him and called out “Papa” again. Celeste had explained that it was just the child’s limited ability to make sounds, but Carl felt something odd about it.
As the child reached out to grab his hand, Carl withdrew it.
“Ah, right. We’ll also need to confirm if the child is really the offspring of the Countess and that detective. We’ll conduct another test at the imperial palace.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
