(Latest Chapter) Read A Marriage with an Expiry - Chapter 43

Putting the ring into her pocket without returning it meant she was still contemplating, that’s what Hyun Woo thought.

Sori’s decision wasn’t important to him, but since there was a week’s time he had given, he decided not to push her.

Suddenly, he asked to resolve a question that had popped up in his mind.

“Are you scared of me, or are you scared of the Chief?”
“Eh?”
Why is he asking such a question all of a sudden…

Unable to hide her momentary bewilderment, Sori realized she couldn’t avoid answering. Because Hyun Woo was staring at her quietly, crossing his arms in front of her.

Looking at the indifferent eyes expecting an answer, Sori quickly poked Hyun Woo with her index finger and then dropped her hand.

Hyun Woo’s indifferent gaze sharply arched.

He, who was like that, chuckled quietly.

Sori, who had been watching him, looked at him with curious eyes.

“It would be better if it was number one.”
“…….”
“Be prepared from now on. You.”
Ah, this.

Sori looked at him turning his back with a bewildered look in her eyes.

I don’t know why I can’t lie at times like this.

It seemed like a long time since someone came to the house, but the lights were brightly turned on.

“Mom? When did mom come? You were at home?”
My mom had been going down to Jeollado due to a drama shoot recently, barely coming up once a week.

Our busy actress Yoo Su Hyang.

Su Hyang was applying a massage pack to her face in front of the vanity in the main room.

“Why is your voice so bright? Isn’t hospital work tiring?”
“I’m tired. But I’m not tired at all.”
“What the hell does that mean?”
Su Hyang, with a white pack on her face, got up and came out to the living room.

“Did mom have a good shoot?”
“Well, it’s always like that.”
“Uhhuh, I missed you, mom.”
“Why are you like this? It’s disgusting.”
Sori hugged Su Hyang from behind.

I was feeling as if I was floating in midair with the thought of my marriage with Hyun Woo.

When I came home, my heart was especially heavy seeing my mother alone.

“Mom, do you seem a bit skinny?”
“You look hollowfaced, don’t you?”
“As you age, it’s nice to have some fat. Don’t go on diets, you old lady.”
“An actress maintains her figure for life. That way, I don’t appear overweight on the screen.”
Sori and Su Hyang sat side by side on the living room sofa.

The mother who often leaves the house, and the daughter who is just as busy as a doctor.

Since Sori went to medical school, it was uncommon for both of them to be at home at the same time.

“Mom, I have something to say.”
That’s why I thought it would be nice to talk like this when we had the chance to meet.

“What’s the matter?”
“Just, I mean. Marriage…… how would you feel, mom?”
Sori cautiously asked her opinion.

I had no memory of my father.

Seeing that I really had no memory at all, I thought I might never have met him.

I couldn’t even ask because I thought it would hurt Su Hyang’s heart. Because she, an actress with a special job, might have a wound she can’t speak of.

The absence of a husband, she lived bravely many times over, trying to feel no void, doing both the daughter’s and son’s duties with her small body.

But……

Suddenly, marriage.

My mom might be dumbfounded.

Even if I really like him, if my mom says it’s too early, it’s a problem to rethink.

But.

“Marriage is good.”

The simple answer from Soo Hyang, upon her return, left Sori with a slight pang of disappointment.

“I need to think about it a bit more,” she said.
“Why? What more is there to think about?”
“If I get married, I’ll be leaving the house, right? I won’t be able to live with you anymore.”
After all, I was her husband, friend, child…

Seo Hyun Woo was so good, but what about our mother?

Contrary to Sori’s worry, Soo Hyang responded lightly.

“So, how good is it?”
“What’s so good?”
“If I don’t have a nagging person around, it’s heaven for me. I can freely date.”
“Oh my…”
Suddenly, the tears that had welled up in her eyes evaporated lightly at Soo Hyang’s words.

“You talk as if you’ve never dated a guy because of me until now, Ms. Yoo Soo Hyang, the advocate of free love.”
“Because my daughter is single, I couldn’t show it off.”
Sori let out a sigh mixed with a laugh, as if amazed.

Truly an unstoppable mother.

It might be hard to tell who’s the daughter and who’s the mother just by hearing their conversation.

“By the way, why the sudden talk of marriage? Did someone propose to you?”
“Why can’t you think that I received a proposal?”
Because of the constantly irritating Soo Hyang, a flush spread across Sori’s face.

“Could it be… Someone suddenly proposed? Fell from the sky?”
“I won’t tell.”
“I won’t be able to sleep because I’m curious. Tell me now. You brought it up because you want to talk about it, right?”
“No, I didn’t.”
“It’s suspicious… Anyway, I recommend marriage over dating!”
A really surprising mother.

Unknowingly, Sori let out a bitter laugh into the air.

“Why? Let’s ask for some reasons.”
“They say doctors get married early. Because they’re so busy.”
“Just because your daughter is a doctor, where did you hear such a thing?”
“Of course, dear. If there’s a handsome doctor there, snag one.”
“Unstoppable, really.”
“Hyun Woo is good.”
At that name, Sori, surprised, quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

“I was really surprised when I saw the day you were drunk and carried home. It wasn’t Jiu, the actor who should have done it, but Hyun Woo. The atmosphere was soaked in excellence, and his eyes were also good.”
“Was he that handsome?”
Sori, who had asked proudly, felt suddenly shy and bit her red lips.

“Only by words? It’s not just his face that’s handsome. How can he be so polite and courteous? When he carried you all the way here and laid you in your room, I involuntarily held his hand.”
“Why, why did you, our professor, hold his hand?”
“I just did without thinking.”
This woman is really too much.

As Sori rolled her eyes thin, Soo Hyang gave a meaningful smile.

“Why did he bring my daughter instead of just taking her away in a bundle, why?”
“Uh. I must be crazy.”

What the mother and daughter pair did that day!

It must have been a truly distressing day for Seo Hyun Woo. Sori grimaced once again at the memory of her wild actions that day.

“Sori,”

Soo Hyang gently called, stroking Sori’s hair.

“It may be sudden and premature, but… I think it would be better for you to meet a reliable man and live happily than worry about me while working outside.”

Soo Hyang, who had been jokingly throwing jokes, spoke with a serious tone.

“So, if someone proposes marriage, just go. Don’t even worry about your mom.”
“…..”
“Stop thinking about your mom as someone you still have to look after. Our daughter has done enough up to now.”
“Ah, what is this…”

Her eyes started to heat up as if she was unexpectedly attacked.

That such words came from her mother’s mouth.

My mother, who didn’t even eat when I was not there and would come to find me in my room, tossing and turning from insomnia due to articles and comments.

“When did our Madam Yoo Soo Hyang grow so mature?”
“What? Is this about me?”

Sori unexpectedly hugged Soo Hyang.

“Don’t say different things later. Really?”

She felt like she couldn’t reveal the secret behind that marriage.

Mom, I want to try getting married.

No, to be exact, I want to live with the professor.

Now that Mom had given her permission, there was no reason to hesitate in welcoming Seo Hyun Woo as a husband.

Even if it was a marriage that was destined to be shortlived.
