“I want to be by your side on this rare day off. I mean it.”
Feeling Louisa’s reluctant rejection, his heart grew anxious, as if she no longer wanted him by her side.
Their eyes met in a mutual gaze of desperation. Louisa seemed to struggle to say something, her lips quivering slightly.
Edward, anticipating her words, spoke first.
“I’m sorry.”
It was the first apology that fell between them, who had always been in conflict.
Louisa’s surprised eyes locked onto him. Edward, receiving her gaze, continued earnestly.
“I’m really sorry. I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
He quickly added, sensing the inadequacy in his words.
“Even if… if we end up divorcing someday.”
The words were hard to say but came from a place of sincerity.
He resolved never to let Louisa feel this way again.
Deep in thought, she let out a heavy sigh.
“Alright. Do as you wish.”
Edward, a skilled engineer known for his delicate touch, had always been adept at styling women’s hair. He tried his best to braid and neatly twist up her short hair, displaying the same skill he had always had. Mrs. Johnson complimented him, genuinely impressed by his hidden talent. A little proud, Edward picked out a dress to match the hair ornament he had chosen, but after a scolding from Mrs. Johnson, he relinquished the choice to her.
When it was time for Louisa to leave, Edward descended to the garage first.
There, Paul Johnson was already starting the car.
“Good morning, Master.”
Paul greeted him. Edward approached Louisa’s car and said,
“Paul, go ahead with your work. I’ll take Louisa today.”
“Are you also taking her back?”
“I’m not working today.”
Edward opened the passenger door of Louisa’s car, gesturing for Paul to step out. Paul laughed and got out, then said,
“About what you mentioned yesterday…”
Edward, sitting in the driver’s seat, turned to Paul.
“Is there a reason you’re not attending the party with Madam?”
“Why do you ask that suddenly?”
Edward frowned in displeasure, but seeing Paul’s always gentle expression, he reluctantly answered.
“…Yes.”
“If I may presume, I think it was out of concern for Madam.”
Edward nodded at Paul’s words.
After some thought, Paul decided to be straightforward.
“It might be good for you to attend this party with Madam.”
“What did you hear to say that?”
“Madam asked me to bury this conversation… but I think it’s important to share what I confirmed with her yesterday.”
Edward furrowed his brows at the unexpected topic.
“Men aren’t seen as flawed for having a distant relationship with their wives. They just find mistresses or lovers as they please, and some even boast about it if their mistress is beautiful.”
Despite the suddenness of the subject, it was a true statement. Edward himself wasn’t much concerned with others’ affairs, but recalling how the Valeria congressman loudly bragged about his mistress, he couldn’t deny the truth in it.
“However, the main wives, pushed aside by such beautiful mistresses, end up in a different situation. They become the neglected ones, perceived as unable to protect what’s theirs.”
“Well, that’s probably true. But why bring this up now?”
“Master, when people see a couple growing distant, they often assume the man has found a mistress.”
At this, Edward’s eyes widened as if he had been struck on the back of his head.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
