Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 242

(EP-242.1) Son-in-law? #2

242 – Live-in son-in-law? #2

Looking back now, my encounters with Stella Von Bellhawk were filled with unpleasant memories.

I was the type of person who usually got a good feeling like, ‘Oh, I think I can get along with this person,’ when I met them. But in my few interactions with Stella, there was nothing to be liked nor any goodwill.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

She barged into my room uninvited and made a scene.

She brought the main character’s party to Ark and caused incidents. Mentioning the numerous minor incidents would just make me angry, so I’d stop here.

The elf professor, looking flustered, asked, “Theo-kun, you don’t like it? What do you mean?”

“I mean exactly what I said. Why should I go along with Professor Stella’s little charade?”

“What...”

“I don’t want to have a fake marriage.”

“Y-you mean you actually want to marry me...?”

Stella was unable to keep her composure as she processed my words.

“Hearing that so suddenly, I’m really taken aback, Theo-kun. Well, back when I was a student myself, I did receive love letters and had some popularity— Um....”

She looked silly, fanning her face with her hand or wiping the sweat flowing down her face with her gloved hand. I added one more thing to her.

“I don’t know how you understood my words, but I want to nullify this entire contract of becoming a live-in son-in-law. I have no intention of being Stella-nim’s footstool. This contract needs to be voided.”

A slight threat. Let’s see how she [N O V E L I G H T] reacted.

Panic started spreading like wildfire across Stella’s face.

“No...! If that happens, my plan will be ruined...! I’ve finally managed to grab another chance. If I can’t get married, I’ll be sent to a convent...!”

“That’s not my problem.”

“But if you nullify the contract, what about the Queen’s martial festival? How will you get the money?”

“Stella-nim doesn’t need to worry about that.”

“No, no. What will I tell those senile bunch? What will become of my face if I say I was jilted...!”

Warak-.

With that, she finally got up from her chair and clung to my feet. This scared me, I hadn’t expected her to go that far.

“No, what are you doing? Let go!”

Stella clung tightly to my pants, pulling them down to the point where they were almost off...

Due to the sudden commotion, people around us started looking our way, as if saying, “What’s going on? Is it a fight?”

But Stella was undeterred.

“Theo-kun, no, Sir Theo, Theo-nim! Please help me. Help me...! I don’t want to go to the convent...! There, you have to pray and read the scriptures 24/7...!”

Pride be damned.

This was the epitome of desperation.

Thanks to this, I had a clear understanding of how Stella Bellhawk operated. So, I decided to be harsher.

“Then show me your sincerity.”

“Sincerity?”
