Reborn as a Mind-Reading Empress
Falling for his warm touch despite his usual coldness, she loved him only to be disappointed and betrayed in the end. When love turns to darkness, it festers to be poisonous and consumes the soul. The naïve Arabella evolved. *** “Thank you for becoming my wife,” was her cold husband’s last words before he died, coupled with a smile that had never before graced his lips. Not on their wedding day. And not even at the birth of their only child. Emperor Ferdinand, someone Arabella loved so much, killed their son. She became a villainess and vowed revenge for her beloved child. For a decade, she used everything she could to make Ferdinand pay. Until finally… he fell to ruin! With her revenge complete, Arabella's life soon ended with her dead husband in her arms. But fate wasn’t done playing with her. All of a sudden, she was back two decades ago right after their wedding. Was it a curse or a blessing? It didn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too!” This was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. But in her second life, Arabella was unexpectedly bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.
Another Surprise [Bonus chapter]
Arabella smiled when Ferdinand tried to eat slower than he usually does. He tried eating at her pace.
It clearly wasn't fit for him though. In the next mouthfuls, he still ate much faster than her and when he realized, he slowed down again. It became a repetition of this.
Ferdinand was being considerate but Arabella wouldn't be able to eat properly with him not enjoying the meal and being so careful.
"Thank you for trying to match my pace. But please just eat like you usually do. Let's eat comfortably. I want you to enjoy the meal too," she smiled and he turned red when he realized that she noticed.
Ferdinand eats so much more than she does anyway so even if she chews much slower, they would be done almost at the same time though he would still finish before she does.
Ferdinand felt so embarrassed and just nodded. He finally ate as usual so they gradually relaxed and ate in silence, comfortably.
