I Became the Obsessive Male Lead’s Ex-Wife

“You’re rude.”

 

He slapped his hand away and hurriedly stepped back. He clenched his fist tightly to hide the trembling of the hand that touched his skin. Sibelom looked up and down my clothes and smiled sinisterly. The smile got even brighter when I saw my clothes disheveled from my kiss with Pervin.

 

“I can give you more pleasure than her wood-stone Pervin, Lady Irwen.”

 

I couldn’t hear a word he said. The urgent priority was to quickly run away from him. I quickly looked around to see if there was anything that could be used as a weapon or something that could protect myself. But nothing was seen. There were just leftover sandwich pieces spread out on the cloth. An obstacle called Sibelom appears on a schedule that was believed to be perfectly safe. I bit my lip and gave a firm warning.

 

“I didn’t come alone. Her husband is around. I’m gone for a while because I have some business to do, but I’ll be back soon. It would be better for the Duke to return quickly.”

 

“Oh, you mean Carlisle? “He won’t be there on time anyway, so what does it matter?”

 

Sibelom put his hand on my waist as if nothing was wrong. I slapped his hand away.

 

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

 

“Lady Irwen, I never travel alone. Butterflies that think of me as a flower always follow me and follow me.”

 

“What are you talking about…”

 

“You mean you already got a girl for Carlisle? A naked woman, not a woman dressed modestly like you. Perhaps even the noble Carlyle would be helpless against that woman’s techniques. So let’s have fun on our own.”

 

Sibelom came closer to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He tried to shake off his arm, but it was in vain. A man’s strength had limits that I, a woman, could overcome. Deciding that I should appease him as much as possible, I remembered that Sibelom was also scheduled to attend the performance prepared by Marquis Celestine today.

 

“Your Highness the Duke, shouldn’t you also visit Marquis Celestine’s villa this evening? Don’t make a big deal out of nothing…”

 

“So, shouldn’t we just get it done here quickly?”

 

I can’t understand you, Sibelom. I thought about biting his arm and running away while he was embarrassed. However, the situation was difficult in many ways to do so. What if there is even a rumor that the duchess has bitten the emperor’s younger brother? What if it reaches the emperor’s ears? This is at least a prison sentence, or even the death penalty. I’ve worked so hard to live well, but I can’t carelessly throw my life away because of Sibelom. Ah, what a pain in the ass. Since I can’t attack him, it would be nice to have someone to save me, but unfortunately, this is a secluded hunting ground with no one around. I shouted out loud with a glimmer of hope.

 

“Pervin, honey!”

 

It was an extended voice that echoed across the empty plain, but only an unanswered echo responded to me.

 

“It is a vain effort, Lady Irwen. Carlisle isn’t coming.”

 

I made eye contact with Sibelom, whose eyes were burning brightly towards me. He clicked his tongue as he looked at my clothes that were tightly wrapped up to my neck.

 

“The joy is greater when you open a well-wrapped gift. Irwen, don’t worry. I will teach you the joy of unity.”

 

What on earth should I do with this bastard? I clenched my fists and tried to smile. I decided to take my time. Until Pervin comes.

 

“By the way, Your Royal Highness, Duke of Sibelom, could you please give me time to get dressed up?”

 

“Oh, Irwen. You are so beautiful in yourself. A disheveled state is inherently attractive.”

 

“No, I just ate some food… I do this because I am worried that my bad breath may offend His Royal Highness the Duke. I will wash my mouth with bottled water.”

 

Sibelom wrinkled his nose slightly and nodded.

 

“Then do it.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

I quickly turned around and pretended to look for the bottled water in the basket. Mrs. Tilly had packed the food so neatly that it took less than two seconds to find the bottled water. However, to kill time, I deliberately pretended to rummage through the basket.

 

“Not yet?”

 

“I have so many things in my basket…”

 

“Then I will wash away your filth with a kiss.”

 

Sibelom came up behind me, saying nonsense. She quickly turned around and tried to push him away, but he had the look on his face like a wild beast facing its prey. At that time, I even thought about pinching his lips with my hand. I saw a man riding a black horse, galloping without hesitation. It was Pervin. Sibelom’s eyes widened. I pushed Sibelom as hard as I could and shouted loudly so that Pervin could hear.

 

“Honey! Why are you so late!”

 

Pervin’s face turned red, as if he was embarrassed at hearing this title for the first time in his life. This is not because of the sunlight, but because of fluctuating emotions. He rode so furiously that it was difficult not to fall from his horse. And Sibelom became completely distraught, and he disappeared somewhere in an instant. The only thing that shows that the tree is where he left off is the shoe he dropped. Pervin quickly tied the black horse to a tree and ran towards me. He looked at my clothes as if he was worried. Disheveled, not much different from when we broke up earlier. He held my face in his hands and looked at me intently. Worry was clearly visible in his shaking green eyes. He came and hugged me. His heart could be felt through the thin clothes and was beating harder than ever.

 

“Did anything happen to you?”

 

He hugs me so tightly that there is no room to escape from his embrace. I mumbled in his arms.

 

“Why did you come so late? I called you that.”

 

“There’s the Lady of Baron Rassendyll over there. He deliberately released the mare to lure my horse, and naturally pulled me away from him. I think he was trying to separate us. So… Did Duke Sibelom come here by any chance?”

 

Pervin seemed to be struggling to overcome the deep discomfort in his heart and ask the question. “It’s up there in the tree,” she tried to answer. Then, for a moment, I realized that Cybelom was listening to our conversation from up on the tree. I looked at Pervin to see if he had noticed, but he didn’t seem to know yet, his eyes only focused on me. You can honestly say that Sibelom is here and was trying to seduce me, but when he saw you coming, he ran away in a panic. However, if I said that, Sibelom could become angry not only with me but also with Pervin. Even in the original work, Duke Sibelom caused harm to many people with his narrow-mindedness and narrow-mindedness. I remembered one of the big events I remember from the original. When a young noblewoman playfully rejected his advances, he took offense, slapped her, and publicly humiliated her. He’s a really petty person, I don’t want to be associated with him again. I didn’t want to suffer that anger. Moreover, if the Duchess of Carlisle becomes entangled with Prince Sibelom, it will be Pervin who will be in the most trouble. She may be criticized for not being a good wife and for playing with the prince. Of course, Sibelom had a very flirtatious image, and recently I heard rumors here and there that he was targeting me. Still, there is nothing good about being tangled up with Sibelom. I was a married woman, and Sibelom was a playboy bachelor. And I don’t want to cause trouble to Pervin. I don’t want to make myself angry either. I wrapped my hand around Pervin’s shoulder and stroked his hair. A strange look appeared in his green eyes as he looked down at me.

 

“He was just passing by.”

 

She didn’t even want to mention his name, so she said ‘him’, but Pervin understood right away.

 

“What?”

 

Pervin’s complexion suddenly deteriorated. I put my hand on his cheek as if to reassure him. He added, caressing his bloodless white cheek as if he were angry.

 

“But that was all.”

 

“Irwen, you don’t have to be ashamed of me. If something happens to you, I’m the one who has to deal with it and protect you, your husband. so…”

 

“Then check it yourself.”

 

I lifted my heel slightly. I turned my head and looked at him seductively. Our lips tickled each other as if they were touching or not. I muttered quietly so that it could be heard openly.

 

“Try and see if I can taste another man’s taste on my lips. No, let me check for you.”

 

It was definitely a bold statement that I would not have uttered if I were sober. But since Sibelom was watching from above, I had to do this. I had to show that my relationship with Pervin was strong. Because Sibelom doesn’t seem to believe that our relationship has improved. I gently placed my lips on Pervin’s lips. Pervin let me do what I did for a while. Even if I breathe out heavily, even if I devour his parted lips with my dry lips, even if I clumsily clash against his teeth. And how long has it been? There was a sound of something rustling in the tree. It was clear that it was Sibelom venting his anger on his own. I thought that if I had made it this far, it would have been proven. I separated my lips from Pervin’s and took a breath. But then. Pervin lifted me up and carried me under the tree. He made me lean against a tree and immediately leaned down towards me. He kissed my hair and whispered.

 

“The only scent I can smell is you.”

 

“Of course, it’s my body.”

 

“That’s what makes me dissatisfied.”

 

Pervin took my hand and placed it on his chest. His heart was racing even more than when he was riding the horse earlier. The pale green eyes had long been filled with a deep possessive desire.

 

“You should smell like me, because you are mine.”

 

Without any time to reply, he lowered the collar around my neck. Lips, cheeks, collarbone. There was hardly a place his lips did not pass. I feel like I encountered something bigger while trying to avoid something small. His hot lips landed on the thin skin. At that moment, I felt a stinging pain in my neck, like a bee biting me.

 

I felt tears welling up in my eyes. At the same time, Pervin’s lips left my neck.

He looked apologetic and satisfied at the same time.

 

“Does it hurt a lot?”

 

“Of course! I feel like I got stung by a bee.”

 

“Sorry.”

 

Pervin took out her handkerchief from her pocket with a drowsy look in her eyes. He affectionately wrapped his handkerchief around my neck and bowed his head again.

 

“I loved you so much I couldn’t stop. Sorry.”

 

“…”

 

“Let’s go home first and talk about it. If I make a mistake at dinner, I’ll be late.”

 

He hurriedly grabbed the wrapping paper that was spread out on the seat. No matter what I tried, he said he could do it. He quickly packed the basket and hung it on the horse, then lifted me up and put me on the horse. At that time, he found a shoe. It was a men’s shoe with a heel studded with colorful jewels.

 

“But what is this?”

 

“I guess he dropped it.”

 

When I shrugged my shoulders and said, Pervin frowned and packed his shoes into his luggage.

 

“I must tell your Majesty this as proof. I ask you to take good care of your little brother.”

 

Pervin took the reins and rode his horse. As I sat in front of him, I looked back one last time. Sibelom’s silver hair was fluttering shabby as it whined as it tried to come down from the tree. And at that moment, a sound like the air coming out of a balloon was heard. Buwaaa! Sibelom, who was hanging from the tree, had a very distorted expression. The place where his gaze was directed was his butt.
