The Villainess Wants a Divorce:Beast Husbands Regret It to Tears-Chapter 118: What He Wants Is Her Heart

About her origins, the true source of the Contract Seal, and the Heart Protection Seal he quietly planted when she was unconscious that night.

Every single thing was a sin he couldn’t confess.

But without telling her, she would never truly trust him.

If he did tell her, he feared she couldn’t handle it.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Gideon Larkin beside Seraphina Caldwell.

Gideon Larkin had his eyes closed, but he immediately sensed the gaze.

He knew Wyatt Yardley was here.

Gideon Larkin originally had his hand resting on her waist, and sensing Wyatt Yardley’s intent, his body suddenly stiffened.

He was certainly unwilling to let go.

This might be the only way to be close to her tonight.

He understood that the other was asking him to move.

But in his heart, he didn’t want to and held on tightly, refusing to let go.

Why?

Why must he retreat every time?

He had saved her too, but whenever Wyatt Yardley showed up, he had to retreat to the corner.

Yet, thinking of how he almost scared her just now, and recalling that his heat was just an act, he ultimately released his hand.

He stood up and retreated to the corner.

The silver-grey wolf form appeared on his body, the fluffy tail wrapped around himself.

Wyatt Yardley then approached, his gaze landing on Isaac Vaughn.

Isaac Vaughn didn’t cling to Seraphina Caldwell like Gideon Larkin, he just quietly guarded her.

Isaac Vaughn patted Seraphina Caldwell’s back and then let go of his arms.

He understood Wyatt Yardley’s nature.

A strong desire for possession that wouldn’t tolerate anyone else touching her.

But he also knew, Seraphina Caldwell needed reassurance, not competition.

So he chose to give way.

Isaac Vaughn’s gaze lingered on Wyatt Yardley’s face for a moment.

He knew Wyatt Yardley wouldn’t easily confess, and knew he was trying to make amends.

But some things, the deeper they’re hidden, the greater the hurt.

He didn’t want to see Seraphina Caldwell hurt again, so even if it meant stepping back, he was willing.

Wyatt Yardley carefully took Seraphina Caldwell from Isaac Vaughn’s embrace.

Seraphina Caldwell moved slightly in his arms, not waking up, but instead unwittingly snuggling closer.

He buried his face into Seraphina Caldwell’s neck.

"Seraphina Caldwell... I spoke too harshly earlier."

What he wanted was her heart, not repayment.

But he knew, those words were too heavy, she might not hear them.

Seraphina Caldwell remained asleep.

She didn’t respond, but neither did she resist.

This made Wyatt Yardley feel slightly at ease.

Wyatt Yardley tightened his arms again.

"Can you... trust me a little more? Whatever you want, I can give it to you. Stop drawing a line between us, okay?"

He knew she guarded against him, but he didn’t want to let go.

"As long as you’re willing to stay by my side, I can wait for everything else."

At this moment, Seraphina Caldwell’s consciousness just returned from the space.

She hadn’t fully come to a realization, being enveloped by the words she heard by her ear, her whole body stiffened suddenly.

What did he just say...

Did he mean that?

But those words coming from him seemed absurd.

How could it be?

He was Wyatt Yardley, the insane villain in the original story who dug out her heart by hand.

His hatred for her was deeply ingrained, how could he suddenly say such words?

That night, the rain poured, he stood in a pool of blood, gripping a blood-stained dagger, glaring red-eyed at her.

"If you dare betray me, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death."

But now, that tone...

The contrast was too stark.

If it wasn’t a facade, then it was even more frightening.

Seraphina Caldwell’s fingers quietly clutched the corner of the blanket, her mind a chaotic mess.

She didn’t dare to think further.

This was Wyatt Yardley, not someone of good character.

Once you have feelings for him, it’s a dead end.

The original protagonist fell step by step, eventually meeting a fate where even her corpse was gone.

That was the storyline node reported by the system.

Seventy-eight hours before the protagonist returns, the villain will fully awaken his original will and purge all "anomalies."

And she was the biggest anomaly.

She had only arrived for about ten days, how could she expect the villains to forget their hatred so quickly?

Moreover, she occupied the body of the original protagonist whom they viewed as a calamity.

No matter how much remedy she applied now, she couldn’t truly cleanse the past.

She wasn’t oblivious to their changing attitudes in recent days.

But once she softened, there was no turning back.

Emotions are the most deadly trap.

Once she dared to move towards genuine feelings, it would be like offering herself up for sacrifice.

When the story restarts, he would unhesitatingly sever all ties, including her life.

Beastkin males are prone to emotional instability around the full moon.

That’s when rationality blurs, instincts take over, even the most hated person might be misrecognized as a partner.

If that’s the case, when rationality returns, perhaps the first action would be to charge at her with a knife.

She didn’t dare to gamble.

If she lost the bet, the price would be her life.

And she had worked hard to live again, how could she foolishly fall into the same pit again?

She didn’t want to repeat the original protagonist’s path.

This time, she must survive.

Now she had space, she had assets.

Her fingers trembled slightly, her father’s face appeared in her mind.

That man once held her while fleeing on a rainy night.

Later he disappeared, leaving behind only a broken Jade Talisman.

If she could find him, she would have backup.

At times like these, the last thing she wanted was trouble.

But the person in front of her was precisely the biggest source of trouble.

Seraphina Caldwell closed her eyes, fatigue gradually washed over her.

Days of non-stop escape, combat, and healing had already drained her energy.

In this moment of warmth and temporary retreat from danger, her body instinctively wanted to rest.

She didn’t struggle anymore and quickly fell asleep.

Before sinking into dreams, she vaguely thought.

Perhaps...

She wouldn’t die tonight.

Early the next morning, Isaac Vaughn approached carrying a jug of clear water.

"Awake? Wash your face first."

He placed the jug on the stone platform by the bed, raising his hand to smooth out her messy hair.

Seraphina Caldwell sat up, grabbed the Beast Skin Towel, and wet it to wipe her face.

The cool water touched her skin, immediately waking her up.

She rubbed her temples vigorously.

"Thanks, I appreciate it."

Isaac Vaughn’s eyes suddenly darkened for a moment.

"Don’t thank me."

"I’m your Beast Husband, these are my duties. I don’t want to hear your thanks again."

Seraphina Caldwell’s hand paused as she wiped her face.

She stared at the half-wet cloth towel in her hand, and her heart suddenly clenched.

If they weren’t villains, if they truly considered her their wife...

She certainly wouldn’t be so distant.

But they, were about to break the contract.

Once the contract-breaking ceremony is completed, they will no longer be each other’s partners.

All of this is just a fleeting Chapter in a contract.

"Mm, I understand."

Seeing her nod, Isaac Vaughn’s eyes finally brightened.

He gently helped Seraphina Caldwell tie the Beast Skin Skirt straps neatly.

"Kaelan Hawthorne is outside cooking breakfast, let’s go over."

Seraphina Caldwell followed Isaac Vaughn out of the wooden house.

She immediately saw Kaelan Hawthorne squatting beside, holding a wooden fork, leisurely flipping the meat skewers.

But the Beast Skin Bag by the fire pit was a lot smaller than yesterday, lying deflated on the grass.

The meat on the rack had also reduced by half.

The prey they caught on the way was already scarce.

Last night’s meal had gone through most of it, today’s breakfast might not be enough.

Kaelan Hawthorne looked up at her and grinned.

"Awake? The meat is running low. How about we make some soup?"

He waved the wooden fork in his hand.

"Last night, Gideon Larkin went out and brought back some red fruit, yam fruit, and pinecones that we can roast."

Having said that, he reached out to break a pinecone; his fingers just touched the shell when Seraphina Caldwell quickly stopped him.

"Kaelan Hawthorne, don’t roast that yet."

She quickly stepped forward.

"I want to try a different way to eat it; can the pinecones be ground into powder?"

She stared at the pile of fruit, her mind recalling the pine nut powder she had eaten in a previous life.
