SOMEONE GIMMIE THE NOVEL CHAPTER OF THE SMEX
Lol it was basically the same as the manhwa. You can find the translation of the chapter under "3rd Book Spoilers" and "the deed" here: https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/the-villainess-lives-twice-%EC%95%85%EB%85%80%EB%8A%94-%EB%91%90-%EB%B2%88-%EC%82%B0%EB%8B%A4.106143/
They kissed in bed and then woke up the next morning ^^; the second time they sleep together will be a long time from now.
Lol "the deed" refers to them sleeping together. The manhwa covers it the same way the novel does--they omit the details and just wake up the next day ^^; Cedric and Tia do like each other though. We also learn that Cedric regains his memory bit by bit. We get a hint of that from ch. 72 of the manhwa too when he says "I should have done this a long time ago" as well as in ch. 73--while Tia is sleeping, he whispers "You are the first and last woman I thought I wanted. Even before and after. Even if another life comes, it will be the same."
The novel is so good. Anyways we not getting any kissy kissy till after she gets kidnapped and he saves her. And that’s after she meets her little half brother too
