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.
Chapter 637: It’s a Place Too Dear to You
"That's a pity then," Ferdinand pouted. "Here I was thinking of giving you lots of attention tonight."
"Oh, I think I do miss you," Arabella changed her response and Ferdinand smiled.
"Really? It's like you forgot my entire existence earlier though. You did not hear me knock. I called you thrice too but you did not hear me at all," Ferdinand complained. He did not like being ignored.
"I'm sorry. I was lost in thought," Arabella gave him a peck on the cheek, trying to soothe him.
It worked but only for a few seconds before Ferdinand asked, "What were you thinking about then."
"Just this and that," Arabella said. She almost replied honestly and Ferdinand would have been surprised about why she already knew about why shops were still open in the city this late at night when she had never gone downtown yet.
[She doesn't want to tell me.] Ferdinand noticed and pouted.
