Minhyuk, who didn’t expect Dahyun to be in the living room, was surprised to see her sitting calmly.
She had been waiting for him to come.
“Dahyun.”
But the moment he noticed the new white suitcase next to her, his face stiffened.
“I knew you would come.”
Dahyun stared coldly at Minhyuk, freezing him as he gazed at her suitcase.
As expected, he came home less than two hours after Kim Yoonhee left.
Silently preparing to leave, considering it the last consideration for the father of the child in her belly, she waited until he came.
She planned to let him know about her recovered memories and say a definite goodbye. She didn’t want to delve into questioning or hear excuses.
“I heard it from the madam.”
“Yes. So, I’ve been waiting for you to come.”
In response to Dahyun’s answer, Minhyuk relaxed his stiff expression, forcing a smile at the corners of his lips.
But Dahyun’s heart had already turned, and seeing him smile made her feel nauseous inside.
“Did I appear so weak to you, Minhyuk? So, did you ask the madam to keep an eye on me?”
“No. I wouldn’t think that way. Since your health isn’t good, I asked the madam to take care of you in case something happens to you.”
His anxious face was imprinted in her mind. Her tone had become fiercer.
More than anything, seeing her take out the suitcase suggested that she was determined to leave the house.
“Dahyun.”
“I’m not worried that my memories might come back, are you?”
Dahyun looked up at Minhyuk, who was visibly taken aback. He fidgeted with his hands and his breathing quickened.
“…What?”
His pupils trembled significantly, as if an earthquake had occurred. She didn’t miss the fact that his hands were clenched into fists and trembling.
“What’s in the suitcase?”
“What else could it be? You know, too.”
Even though she knew, his obvious attempt to feign ignorance left Dahyun dumbfounded.
Minhyuk suspected that Dahyun was planning to leave.
She was leaving. He had deceived himself.
“Minhyuk.”
Minhyuk fell silent at Dahyun’s cold tone. Her once smiling eyes were now infinitely cold.
He thought she had changed since she collapsed. Could it be that her memories had returned even a little? He couldn’t grasp how much she knew.
She completed the preparations to leave. Regardless of what conversation she had with Kim Yoonhee, he had to grab onto her.
He had to end it with her. Even while holding his child, she was boldly attempting to leave.
Minhyuk gritted his teeth. He couldn’t leave her alone. Even if she rejected him, he had to shamelessly stay by her side.
Dahyun couldn’t give Minhyuk the luxury of time to think. The luxury had already been spent, waiting for him.
“Why can’t you say it?”
“Dahyun…”
He refrained from saying more, fearing she might be confused.
“Did you leave work early because you were worried, not knowing what Kim Yoonhee said?”
“No, it’s not like that. I left work because I was worried you might collapse again.”
To Dahyun, his words sounded like excuses. His words seemed like nothing but excuses and lies.
“Even if I collapse, you have the madam by your side. What’s there to worry about?”
“If I hear that you collapsed, I feel like I might go crazy.”
She laughed scornfully, tightly gripping the handle of the suitcase. The person who worried about her had hidden all the truth from her. Did he really think it was for her sake?
“I let the madam leave work early today.”
Minhyuk realized there was no housekeeper when he entered the house. If she had been there, she would have known he had come and come out in front of the shoe rack.
And she would have let him know that she was getting ready to leave.
He had asked the housekeeper to report on what Dahyun was doing after she collapsed. It was because he was worried that something might happen to her when he wasn’t around.
It was solely for her sake.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
To her question of whether he had nothing to say, Minhyuk was confused about where to start. Kim Yoonhee was once again ruining his life.
It was entirely his fault that he hadn’t talked about the past. There was no one to blame.
“Minhyuk, haven’t you met our father before?”
Minhyuk’s heart sank at her sudden attack.
How did she know? Even if Su Cheol had met Kim Yoonhee, he wouldn’t have told her about that part.
Minhyuk couldn’t get close to Dahyun, who was sitting on the sofa.
First, he needed to find out how she knew the truth. As Dahyun stood silently without opening her mouth, she bit her lips and stood up.
Minhyuk watched her approach like a helpless stone. It was the first time. He was afraid as he watched her approach.
As she approached, her hatred and betrayal became sharper, and her eyes filled with it became sharp nails that scratched him.
“Don’t think about hiding. I won’t be fooled anymore.”
She raised her chin and smiled sarcastically, looking at him with ruthless eyes.
If you won’t say it until the end, I can only tell the story.
He hoped that they could at least say goodbye to each other without hurting until the end.
But it seemed difficult to end it nicely now.
“I remember now.”
Now she would definitively cut off the emotions she couldn’t cleanly sever before.
Everything was a lie, and it was a fabricated scenario. She was no different from playing on that stage.
Biting her lower lip with bitterness, Dahyun muttered.
Our relationship was discordant and distorted, a twisted and distorted relationship.

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
