The Author And Her Protagonist

Cheryl was led into the villa by Edgar. When they entered the large living room, the man pushed and pinned her on the sofa.

Cheryl pushed his chest away, not waiting for his sexy lips to touch her skin.

“What exactly is it?” Edgar, who had been pushed, was perplexed.

Cheryl’s index finger was firmly pointed; “We’ve essentially become strangers. So this kind of touch irritates me a little.”

Edgar was surprised. “Strangers?” he asked, his brow furrowed.

“Yes.”

“How can we possibly be strangers to one another? We’ve been married for a long time. Have you forgotten that we were both lovers full of love in the past?” Edgar attempted to sway his wife’s opinion.

Cheryl, on the other hand, agreed. She couldn’t get over her annoyance at Edgar’s willful behavior, in which he had purposefully acted arrogant and obnoxious in order to annoy herself.

“I didn’t think what happened in the past would count!”

Cheryl sat up straight, her arms crossed across her chest.

“My wife ….”

Cheryl paid no attention to Edgar’s whining behind her. But the man continued to bothered her until she couldn’t take it anymore.

“Okay, alright. I’m not going to make a distinction between our past and present relationships. But only under one condition.”

“What’s that?” Edgar inquired.

“Please tell me what happened. Did you come here through reincarnation or… transmigration?”

Instead of responding, Edgar narrowed his eyes and assumed a mysterious expression. “What are your thoughts?”

“Just respond to me and don’t try to irritate me again!”

“I beg your pardon, Marchioness, but please don’t be angry.” Edgar cracks a joke, which gets a pinch from Cheryl.

“Stop joking!”

“Okay, okay, no more pinching. I’ll explain.”

Cheryl took a breather and adjusted her sitting posture.

“So this is it,” Edgar started. “I’m not sure what the formal name for my arrival is. I arrived here not long after my fight with the royal soldier. But, as soon as I awoke, I realized that I, too, had spent a long time in this body.”

Cheryl smirked. “What does this imply? Is it reincarnation or transmigration, then?”

Edgar cast a gentle glance at Cheryl. “Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it ‘completeness of the soul’ rather than reincarnation or transmigration.”

“Is the soul complete? What are you talking about?”

“I’m not sure I understand either. I heard something about soul completion somewhere. The mechanism is that a person’s soul is reincarnated, but not fully. Some parts of his soul vanish, causing that person to have no recollection of their previous life.”

“Then almost everyone on this planet goes through it, right?” Cheryl posed a query.

“Yes,” Edgar replied. “I, the Edgar Baldwin before this, was the same way. Then, apparently, after the death of “I,” who was the Marquess of Northland, my soul traveled all the way to the future, finding this “reincarnated” body of mine and entering it,” Edgar paused for a moment. “Another possibility is that my soul from the past was purposefully summoned to this time to occupy this body.”

Cheryl was completely surprised by the information Edgar provided. Her brain circuits spun slowly as she processed each word.

“So that’s how it is.” Cheryl spoke after a long silence. ”

“Yes. So, whether I was the Marquess of Northland or a modern-day individual, I am still the same Edgar who loved you, my wife.”

Cheryl was almost drowned in a river of love by Edgar’s gentle words.

“Why is your mouth getting cuter all the time, Edgar?”

“I’m not sure. This appears to be a natural talent “Edgar stated.

Cheryl threw a playful punch to the man’s chest.

Cheryl was thinking about Eugene at the time.

“Wait a minute, if you could enter this world in that way, wouldn’t it be impossible for others to do the same?”

“What exactly is it?”

“I saw Eugene…”

Edgar Baldwin’s jealousy appears to have crossed from time to time. Edgar was immediately dissatisfied when the woman’s tiny lips mentioned another man’s name. He quickly sealed Cheryl’s tiny lips, preventing her from continuing.

“Mmm! Mmm!”

Only a muffled protest could be heard from the woman whose lips were sealed by the man’s.

The man was ferocious. His longing grew stronger with the kiss, especially since he felt they had been apart for a long time.

A kiss that started out as punishment evolved into a passionate kiss.

They both began to pant, and their bodies seemed to miss each other. Harold walked in when the two were almost out of control.

“Master, apologies for interrupting-”

“You know your actions are disturbing, so why did you come?” enraged Edgar.

Harold coughed incongruously. “I apologize; that was not my intention, but the master and madam are on their way here and have entered the villa area.”

“What?”

Edgar went up from Cheryl’s body immediately. He motioned with his hand to Harold, indicating that he understood. After Harold left, he assisted Cheryl in getting up.

“I’m a shambles…” Cheryl groaned when she noticed that all of the buttons on her shirt were missing.

“Please forgive me,” Edgar said. “Please follow me into the room. I’ve got clothes ready for you.”

“Eh? Are you prepared?”

Edgar dragged Cheryl to the third floor.

Cheryl is astounded by her inner appearance as Edgar leads her to a room.

Two large wardrobes were opened, revealing a row of stylish and attractive women’s clothing.

“Would you like to open a boutique?”

Edgar burst out laughing. “What kind of boutique? I prepared everything for you!”

“What makes you so happy to squander money?”

“This cannot be considered a waste of money because it is done to please the wife. Choose your favorite now. Then we’ll go downstairs to meet my parents.”

“Eh? What about your parents?”

“My parents, yes.”

Cheryl was taken aback. She hadn’t expected to meet a “in-law” she hadn’t met in her previous life today. Cheryl was nervous about meeting her in-laws.

“Then… What kind of women do your parents like? A woman of purity? Or are you the elegantly beautiful type? Or are you the virtuous type? Which one is it?”

Edgar smiled broadly as he noticed Cheryl’s nervousness.

“Simply wear whatever you want. You must deal with them as they are.”NôvelDrama.Org © content.

As a result, Edgar reassured his wife.

The newlywed couple came down the stairs holding hands not long after.

A pair of elegantly dressed middle-aged men and women sat on the wide sofa where the two had previously made out. Cheryl became agitated immediately, especially after seeing the agent of the woman who appeared to be very elegant.

Edgar and Cheryl made their way downstairs. The two of them chose the sofa directly across from Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin.

“Father, mother.” Edgar gave a brief, casual greeting.

The long eyelashes of the middle-aged woman fluttered and lifted. Her sharp eyes focused on the man and woman in front of her, then on their intertwined hands.

“Every day, the temperature drops. Is this the way you treat your parents?” Mrs Baldwin chastised.

When Edgar didn’t respond, he grabbed Cheryl’s hand and motioned for her to sit beside him.

Cheryl moved nervously and said, “Good afternoon, father and mother.”

Mrs. Baldwin’s delicate brow furrowed slightly. “Father and mother? Why do you address us as such?”

“This is due to…”

“Because she is my wife. So it’s only natural for her to refer to you as such.”

Mr Baldwin raised his gaze this time. “Wife?”

“She is, indeed, my wife. You must have heard about my marriage registration before you came here, right?”

“We were aware of it.” Mrs Baldwin agreed. “However, this is far too hasty!”

Cheryl’s heart pounded. Suddenly, a legendary drama scene in which the female lead is not approved by the male lead’s parents.

Cheryl’s back was dripping with cold sweat. Her fingers pinched the ends of her clothes, causing them to wrinkle slightly.

“What’s the big deal? Weren’t you the ones who pushed me to get married as soon as possible?”

Cheryl was taken aback. She turned to face Edgar, but he didn’t look her in the eyes.

Mrs. Baldwin, on the other hand, appeared to be frustrated.

“We’re not putting pressure on you; it’s you who wants to get married soon! When you’re in a coma, you keep saying “wife” over and over! Who doesn’t think you’re excited to get married?”

Cheryl’s stunned gaze shifted to Mrs. Baldwin.

“But that doesn’t mean you have to cram a lot of women in order to be chosen as my wife, does it? I have my own personal choice.” Edgar responded coldly to his mother’s words.

“What is your personal choice? So that?” Mrs Baldwin’s gaze was directed at Cheryl.

“Yes, it’s right here.”

Mrs Baldwin continued to speak as if she had not accepted her son’s choice.

“Are you and she really acquainted?”

“Of course,” Edgar replied lightly, “we know each other inside and out.”

Mrs Baldwin appeared embarrassed by her son’s response. She took the pastries that were served to break the awkward atmosphere.

Mrs. Baldwin asked Cheryl the question after removing the awkwardness. She inquired about her name, age, family history, and occupation. Cheryl responded hesitantly.

“Please don’t get me wrong because I’m asking you these questions, Cheryl. It’s simply out of curiosity. As far as I know, my son is an introverted man when it comes to women. Then, right after waking up from a coma, he dashed into this country. It truly astounds me.” Mrs. Baldwin expressed his dissatisfaction.

In Cheryl’s ear, one thing was magnified. “Coma?”

Mrs Baldwin gave a nod. “He was in a coma for several months as a result of an accident. At the time, the doctor told him that his situation was hopeless. He was still sleeping, with no sign of waking up. Just a month before, he had uttered the word “wife”! Can you imagine how thrilled I am to learn that my son may be able to regain consciousness?”

Cheryl didn’t respond, instead giving Edgar a sidelong glance.

Mrs Baldwin went on; “Then I realized he was serious about getting married. So I set matchmaking with several families in our social circle, but no one wanted to marry him after learning he was a comatose man. When he awoke, I asked him if he still wanted to marry, but he just ran into this country without saying anything.”

Mrs. Baldwin’s explanation painted a clear picture of Edgar’s condition prior to Edgar, Marquess of Northland’s “appearance” at his body.

Family gatherings appear to be quite harmonious. They all eat dinner together. Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin said their goodbyes and returned to the hotel.

“Why don’t you join us in the villa, Mom?” Cheryl stated.

Mrs Baldwin burst out laughing. “To disturb a newlywed couple on their wedding night? No, thank you.”

Edgar and Cheryl then returned to the large villa.

Edgar rushed Cheryl into the room not long after.

“Come on, let’s resume our postponed activities!” With a mischievous grin, Edgar said.

“What? What are the activities?” Cheryl tried to act stupid.

Edgar lifted Cheryl’s body and threw her on the very soft bed without saying anything.

He kissed Cheryl passionately. She did not escape the man’s kiss from the brow to the forbidden area.

“Wait, Edgar! I… I have another question!”

“What exactly is it?”

“I’m still intrigued… Will other people be able to enter this world?”

“Hm? Is there anyone else?”

“Eugene. You remember, don’t you? Eugene, Crown Prince-oh, no!”

Because he was irritated, Edgar pierced the defense roughly. “Don’t consider other people. Just think about us, please. We are lovers not only in two lifetimes, but in three.”

–

They had been lovers for three lifetimes, as Edgar had stated.

The endings of the other two times appear to be bad. They tried even harder this time to realize the delayed happiness.

–

The Baldwins held a lavish wedding ceremony soon after their “unexpected marriage.”

As a result, Cheryl and Edgar had to go through the wedding ceremony twice.

They renew their vows to each other in this life.

“I take you, Cheryl Rosanna Rowe, to be my wife, to have and care for each other, from now on and forever; in times of trouble and joy, abundance or need, health and sickness, to love and respect one another, until death separates us, according to God’s law…”

“I take you, Edgar Davids Baldwin, to be my husband, to have and care for each other, from now on and forever; in times of trouble and joy, abundance or need, health and sickness, to love and respect one another, until death separates us, according to God’s law…”
