Lahat ng Kabanata ng Jilted Heiress Strikes Back: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

Raina was about to leave, carrying the bucket of fish, when suddenly a voice asked, “What’s that?”On the ground lay two tiny mud figurines.Earlier, during the boring fishing session, Raina had casually mixed some mud and shaped two little figures—a boy and a girl. They were small but fairly detailed. After making them, she simply placed them on the ground and forgot about them.She glanced over and suddenly realized, “Oh, those? Just some mud dolls I made on a whim, don’t worry about them, I’m heading out now.”When she was very young, living under someone else’s roof with nothing much to do, she would sometimes sneak out and play with mud like other kids. She had made countless little mud figures, always tossing them away afterward—she didn’t even know how many she’d made or thrown out.After Raina left with the fish bucket, a while later, Leif bent down, picked up the little mud figurines, examined them carefully for a moment, and without showing any reaction, quietly hid both fig

After a brief silence, Raina shook her head and said quietly, “Back then, I also had my doubts. So my mother had done a paternity test for me at the time. The test results showed that I am indeed Fenris’ daughter.”If she wasn’t Fenris’s biological daughter, she could have accepted his dislike or even hatred—after all, she wouldn’t be his own flesh and blood. But the paternity test shattered that illusion.That was the truly hard part to accept.After a while, Leif finally said, “Have you ever thought that maybe that paternity test was fake?”Raina’s pupils immediately shrank to tiny dots, and she looked dazed. “Fake?!”Her heart sank slightly.Although her mother had always ignored her existence, probably because of the mother-daughter bond, she had always believed that her mother wouldn’t lie to her. So when her mother showed her the paternity test back then, she never doubted it.But if the paternity test was fake and she really wasn’t Fenris’s daughter, then whose daughter was she

But now, hearing Leif say this suddenly, Raina felt a warmth surge in her chest.The smile on her face seemed to pause for a moment, then she suddenly laughed out loud a few times and said, “Very good, really… although, actually, words like these really don’t seem like something you’d say, hahaha…”“And also, Mr. Vexley, since I met you, I feel like I’ve realized that happiness is actually such a simple thing!”Leif gazed at her, the corner of his lips twitching slightly as he replied calmly, “Then, it’s truly my honor.”Raina was stunned.She realized this man always seemed able to say the cheesiest things as if they were perfectly natural—so matter-of-fact, confident, and innocent.Sometimes when she looked at him, she thought of her younger self—when she was young, she also said many similar things, but now, she found herself unable to say them anymore.Lowering her eyelids, she smiled gently and said, “But speaking of which, just now when I said those things to Fenris, you didn’t

The Carrington Family MansionThe lights were dim, and the night was silent.The massive estate was shrouded in darkness, not a single light visible. Raina stood at the entrance for a long while before slightly turning to the side and smiling faintly. “Mr. Vexley, please, come in.”This place could be considered where she grew up.The last time she returned to the old house to see Fenris, Leif had brought her back as well. But at that time, she didn’t trust him and didn’t want him involved in her personal affairs—so she hadn’t let him come inside.Now, Leif walked beside her and said softly, “Alright.”After the house was reclaimed, everything was restored to how it once was. Every flower and every blade of grass was returned to its original place. As they walked through it, Raina suddenly felt like everything belonged to another lifetime.When they reached the main hall, she didn’t plan to go in. Instead, she sat on the steps outside and said, “Let’s stay here. Sorry to trouble you,

Raina had only been joking—she hadn’t expected Leif to actually respond.In the swirling mist of steam and smoke, Leif's expression seemed to stiffen for a moment. Then he turned his head and said calmly, “I have someone I care about.”It was the first time Leif had ever mentioned anything personal.Raina froze for a second. She wanted to look up at him but, for some reason, felt afraid to see his face. Scratching the tip of her nose, she said awkwardly, “I-Is that so? Ahem… That—what I said just now was just a joke. Just teasing, Mr. Vexley, don’t take it seriously!”Leif replied, “Okay.”His response was calm, but deep inside, Raina suddenly felt a strange, unfamiliar sensation—a bit of unexpected disappointment.Leif had been very considerate to her during this time. But everything he did was appropriate, respectful, and well within boundaries. Even the rare moments of closeness had been carefully managed to avoid any physical contact.Now she understood why.No wonder he had alway
