When Da Hyun woke up and checked the time, she noticed it was well past the time Min Hyuk usually returns home.
Despite being upset about Ji Yeon, her pregnancy fatigue was overwhelming, and she had succumbed to sleep.
Her queasiness had become familiar to her. In fact, she was more concerned when her stomach felt calm.
“Why is my chest feeling so tight?” Da Hyun wondered, clenching her fist and tapping her chest.
The cause was her mulling over Ji Yeon’s words before falling asleep.
Despite her resolve to focus on prenatal care, she felt she hadn’t done it properly.
With a sense of discomfort, Da Hyun got out of bed and picked up her phone. There were numerous texts and missed calls from Min Hyuk, with a few from Ji Yeon interspersed. Da Hyun deleted Ji Yeon’s texts without reading them, not wanting to start her day upset.
Leaving the bedroom, Da Hyun called Min Hyuk as she headed downstairs.
“Hasn’t he come back yet? But the lights are off.”
Usually, the housekeeper wouldn’t turn off the lights when leaving, so Da Hyun found it strange.
The prolonged ringing eventually led to a familiar voicemail prompt.
“He’s not picking up.”
It was rare for Min Hyuk not to answer, except during meetings.
Even though it was past 8 PM, Min Hyuk usually came home promptly, unless something unexpected happened.
Da Hyun checked her phone again for any unread messages indicating he would be late but found none.
Turning on the living room lights, she felt compelled to head towards the study.
The dark hallway allowed her to notice a faint light seeping through the study door.
“Of course.”
He was home.
Puzzled by his absence on the phone, Da Hyun wondered, “Is he showering?”
She mumbled a light-hearted complaint, “He should have woken me up,” knowing he probably didn’t want to disturb her.
Standing in front of the study, she hesitated, then lightly knocked on the door.
It wasn’t polite to barge in unannounced.
But there was no response from Min Hyuk, nor did the door open.
“Oh right, he must be showering.”
Da Hyun thought Min Hyuk was in the shower and therefore didn’t open the door.
Suddenly feeling nauseous, she quickly covered her mouth.
Turning away from the study, she rushed to the bathroom.
Min Hyuk’s body tensed up at the sound of the knock. A spasm ran along his jawline.
Haunted by the unwelcome memories brought by Yun Hee, he felt disoriented.
He dreaded the thought of seeing Da Hyun’s face now, burdened by guilt.
Knowing she had come for him, Min Hyuk attempted to rise and open the door, but his body remained frozen.
Despite not answering her call earlier, he found himself even less capable of opening the door now.
Fearing what might happen if she entered, he was relieved when the door remained closed.
Although faint, the sounds indicated she had probably rushed to the bathroom due to morning sickness.
Min Hyuk finally exhaled a sigh of relief and washed his face.
Kim Yun Hee had returned. He had thought she would never come back in his lifetime.
In Yun Hee’s selfish behavior, Min Hyuk saw his own reflection.
He knew he had to tell Da Hyun the truth, but he was afraid of how her attitude might change.
He wondered if she would understand even if he explained it as a misunderstanding, given that she remembered nothing.
Honestly, he wanted to live his entire life with her memories never returning.
He knew he had to reveal the truth someday, but his twisted mind made him avoid it.
The shock that Yun Hee had met Da Hyun was significant.
He had let his guard down in the happiness of knowing Da Hyun was carrying their child.
“How does she even know?”
How did Su Cheol know about Kim Yun Hee’s existence?
“The moment you step on Korean soil again, even the old affection vanishes. This is the last consideration I can offer, Kim Yun Hee.”
“Live quietly. Get help from friends there and do your best to carve out your life. Let’s never meet again.”
He had arranged for Kim Yun Hee to leave Korea through a friend. He did this to prevent her from approaching Da Hyun, who had lost her memory while he was in America.
Yun Hee had always craved money since her impoverished childhood. Her obsession with money only grew in adulthood.
She would do anything for money.
But was that all? Yun Hee was also a woman desperate for love.
He had met her because of his mother, Hee Kyung. Hee Kyung brought Yun Hee home out of pity, starting their entangled relationship.
Yun Hee, who obediently followed Hee Kyung’s words, settled into her heart perfectly.
Since then, Hee Kyung had treated Yun Hee as her own daughter, and Yun Hee followed her like a mother.
There was a time he gave in to her persistent pursuit and agreed to date, but feeling no attraction, he suggested returning to being siblings.
But Yun Hee wouldn’t accept it. She clung, pursued, and was relentless.
Yun Hee followed him to Korea not long after he entered the country.
It was a couple of days after he met Da Hyun at Si Hoon’s arranged marriage meeting. Yun Hee persisted even in Korea.

“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
