The General's Wife Wants to Leave

Experiencing a suffocating marriage with the man whom she was arranged to marry made Joanna want to leave him. But it was a failure as she died as the wife of the man who abandoned her and her son before they divorced. On the verge of her death, she made a wish to not encounter him again if there was a next life. She wished for the end of their fate only in this lifetime. She wanted to forget everything about him. However, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the room of the mansion of the man she just married. She was awakened by a dream that seemed to be a nightmare of her past life. She didn’t remember completely everything that had occurred in her past life and the dream was fragmented. But deep inside her heart, she only felt one thing. She was adamant about leaving him, to be far away from him. Therefore, she left his mansion just before she met him in person in the present lifetime. However, what she didn’t expect was that the so-called husband pursued her, not allowing her to leave him. Would Joanna be successful in leaving the man in this lifetime? Would fate play the same tragedy as her past life? --- As he pulled his finger away from her soft, warm lips, he said, “It is good you stopped winding up, Joanna. Otherwise, I would have used the other method to make you stop blabbering over the same, boring topic endlessly.” When he noticed the stubborn woman was about to prove herself to be stubborn, the man leaned forward in a swift movement, facing the woman’s stupefied face which was an inch away from his. “Continue to blabbering, don’t blame me if I apply my other method right now,” the man murmured above her breath, trailing his gaze from her quivering eyes to her lips before moving it back to her now widened eyes. --- *Cover doesn’t belong to the author.

Joanna's wondering gaze fixated on the face of the man, whom a few moments ago was in a statue-like state, which caused her to worry about his wellbeing.

It was the second time, on the same day, she was made to worry about the same person, whereas the first time she was worried about him keeping a smile on his face, which made them end up having a prolonged conversation after she initiated asking about his wellbeing.

But now, as Joanna found him smiling with his heart content at her, another question appeared in her mind.

What made him take a long time to give her that answer if he was now smiling as if it were a simple answer that was not needed to ponder too long?

Did he lie to her, hiding the true answer that was hard to tell her? What if he actually chose her because she was a de Lara? And if it was true, what did he expect from de Lara?
