“Ah!”
Startled, Adel opened her eyes.
Unconsciously, I quickly covered my lips with the back of my hand. And then I realized I was not by the lakeside, but in front of a fireplace where logs were burning.
But the kiss that day was too vivid.
As if it just happened now, I could distinctly feel his breath and the temperature settling on my lips. And my body was too hot.
‘Phew, it makes sense.’
The fireplace in front of her was on the verge of spewing out flames.
I didn’t know when I fell asleep, but instead of Christine, I had been sleeping on the couch. I was even covered with a blanket.
“Christine?”
Adel called out, but there was no answer. There was no trace of him anywhere in the small house.
He must have returned after laying me on the couch and covering me with a blanket. He even put a lot of logs in the fireplace.
‘I wish he had woken me up to say goodbye…’
For 10 years, we lived without contact, and I didn’t know why it was so regrettable that he left without a word.
I’m really selfish.
I left him.
There was no other choice then, but now there’s no change even if I make excuses.
After all, she had left Christine and chosen another path.
If I could go back to that day, what choice would I make?
It was a question I still couldn’t answer easily.
“Did he leave already?”
Adel, who was lost in thought, turned at Tanya’s voice.
Tanya, taking off her old coat full of snow, did not hide her disappointed expression.
“It’s already dark.”
“I thought he might be sleeping.”
“Sleeping and leaving! What are you talking about!”
As Adel rebuked, Tanya looked even more absurd.
“There’s a tremendous snowfall outside. Shouldn’t we let a passerby sleep on a night when it’s snowing this heavily?”
Embarrassed, Adel tried to hide her expression and went to the window.
“……His carriage is big, so he’ll be fine.”
Outside the window, a tremendous amount of snow was falling, making everything look completely white.
When the snow stops a bit more, go. What’s the rush in this weather……
“But, is he really Vice Count Vicander?”
Tanya, who was cleaning up the table with the tea cups, asked.
“Why?”
“No, I can’t believe such an amazing person came to our house.”
“If you know that much, he must really be amazing.”
“Of course. He’s a war hero. If you just go out on the street, you’ll see boys imitating White Ghost with sticks.”
“White Ghost?”
“The knight order led by Vice Count Vicander. He’s the commander.”
Come to think of it, Adel had heard of the White Ghost knight order. It was the name of the bravest knight order in the Calaim Empire.
And Christine was the one leading it……
“So, are we now at the end of our misfortunes and the beginning of our happiness?”
“What are you talking about?”
“If Vice Count Vicander brought flowers to this extent, it means he’s seriously fallen for you……”
“That’s not it!”
Adel firmly denied, but Tanya teasingly opened her eyes wide.
“No, no. How romantic was the Count’s gaze. I thought this was the look of a man in love that I’ve only heard about.”
“I said it’s not!”
Tanya, as if she couldn’t hear Adel’s voice, spread her wings of imagination with her hands together.
“I hope you two really get along! Then we can chop as much firewood as we want in winter, right? No, since the Count is rich, we could even chop coal. Wow, the day has come when we can stoke a coal stove!”
Adel was dumbfounded.
“I can stoke a coal stove too!”
But Tanya looked at the few logs left in front of the fireplace with sad eyes.
Adel quickly became shy.
“I, of course, need to bake bread and cookies more diligently and sell them.”
“Do you think it will be okay just by baking diligently?”
Adel, who was kicked out of the Count’s family, was mainly living by selling cookies and bread. But because of the rumors about her, they didn’t sell to nobles.
Adel was infuriated by the brutally rational Tanya.
“Are you hoping that the Count and I get along just for the coal stove?”
“Why would that be the only reason? I really hope you’re happy. To show Oswald, those bastards.”
“I’m happy now. You’re here, Mia is here, and I can bake bread and cookies whenever I want. Really.”
Yes, be content with that.
If one could wake up to the sound of birds in the morning, and start the day with a warm soup and soft bread.
If one could chat with friends while eating a fragrant tea and dessert.
If such tranquility, where no one comes and nothing happens, continues……
“But Miss, if there’s a good man, I’m going to get married anytime. So please exclude me from your happiness.”
“This emotion destroyer!”
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Look at that. Flowers are indeed the best gifts for ladies.”
At the sound of Zimmer’s voice, Christine turned around. His face was full of confusion, as if asking what nonsense he was talking about.
“The commander has never looked as healthy as now. Even in this cold weather, his face is very rosy……”
Then Zimmer, who met Christine’s fierce eyes, quickly shut his mouth. It was a warning glance that he could die if he talked a little more.
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…?
