Dahyun got up after Yoonhee left. The employer stood in the dining room as if he had been waiting for her to come out.
“Madam.”
“Yes, sir.”
The employer was casual, as if he knew what she was going to say.
Yoonhee had mentioned that Minhyuk might be coming before she left, as if someone were watching her.
She vaguely knew that Minhyuk had assigned someone to her. But she thought it only applied outside.
She never expected someone to monitor her inside her house.
Dahyun knew there was only one person monitoring her inside her house.
“Did you happen to contact him?”
“… I’m sorry, madam. I thought it would be better to tell you about this. The situation is different from when Madam’s sister came. I was worried that the woman might say something disrespectful to Madam, so I contacted her.”
The employer confessed willingly that he had informed Minhyuk. Dahyun forgot to ask him not to tell Minhyuk, just as she did when Jieun came to visit. Her thoughts were tangled like a ball of yarn.
She had prepared questions for Yoonhee, but she didn’t ultimately get a proper answer.
But one thing was for sure, Yoonhee had recently met Soocheol.
“I’m sorry, madam.”
The employer politely bowed again and apologized to her. Dahyun forced a smile and nodded her head.
“No, it’s not your fault, madam.”
It wasn’t the employer’s fault. He had faithfully carried out the tasks assigned by his employer.
“Madam, would you like to leave work now?”
“Huh? But…”
The employer’s pupils shook as if he hadn’t thought about it at all.
Anyway, Minhyuk would be coming soon, so she told the employer not to worry and leave work.
The employer had no choice but to nod his head.
“…Alright, madam.”
“I’ll talk to Minhyuk.”
The employer was just an employer. He should never cross the line.
The employer bowed and untied his apron.
“Yes, madam. Thank you. See you tomorrow.”
“Yes, see you tomorrow.”
Dahyun looked at the employer with a gentle smile. As the employer went back to the kitchen to get his coat, she moved her steps to the stairs.
Dahyun didn’t send the employer home because she was angry. She considered him a good person and acted considerately.
She didn’t want to cause trouble for the employer.
She was worried that if she left the house, sparks might fly between her and the employer for no reason.
Dahyun couldn’t bring herself to say that they wouldn’t see each other tomorrow.
After Yoonhee left, she looked at the seat she had occupied for a long time.
She was definitely unaware of something. Soocheol knew about her and Minhyuk from the beginning, but he acted as if he didn’t know.
Dahyun knew that Minhyuk had followed her on the day of the accident. Despite that, she didn’t stop to see him.
At that time, she couldn’t judge the situation calmly due to anger and betrayal. Her wounds were too deep, and she didn’t try to look around properly.
Dahyun wondered if she might have misunderstood something.
Even if that were the case, if it was Kim Yoonhee’s child, it would be Minhyuk’s child.
Dahyun wrapped her arms around her stomach as if protecting it.
Is it true, as she said, that the child is in pain and wants to see their dad?
She couldn’t simply turn away from Kim Yoonhee’s child like a fool.
Worrying about others when her nose was bleeding was ridiculously pathetic.
She had no intention of leaving the house early until she met Yoonhee. She wanted to wait. She wanted to know what Minhyuk was thinking, why he married her without revealing the truth and even lied.
It was difficult to understand why he avoided the truth and lied, even though she gave him several chances.
“I can’t stay in this house anymore.”
The house she lived in with him was a lie. It was a false relationship from the beginning, so it was right to tidy things up.
She would tidy up everything with him. Even if things were resolved well, she couldn’t pretend not to know about Kim Yoonhee’s child and be happy with him.
But she couldn’t deny the existence of the child in her womb.
Dahyun chuckled bitterly and went upstairs to a room other than the bedroom.
Closing the door, she took out a 24-inch white suitcase and packed five sets of baby items and clothes that Yul had bought. It wasn’t anything special to call it luggage.
She was leaving almost everything behind. She reminded herself not to force herself, considering her physical condition.
Dahyun wrinkled her nose. After closing the wide-open suitcase, she took out her cellphone from her pocket.
As expected, there was no contact from him.
He didn’t contact her even though he knew she met Yoonhee.
What exactly am I to Minhyuk?
Am I so foolish that he can’t even worry about me?
Is it a message for me to live like a bird trapped in a cage without revealing the truth?
She was sure that he didn’t want his memories to come back.
But Dahyun had no intention of pretending not to know anything as Minhyuk wished.
Her slender hand holding the suitcase handle tightened.
Minhyuk threw off his shoes and rushed through the hallway into the living room.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
