Their gazes briefly intertwined, understanding each other’s reluctance to answer the calls.
Green was the first to pick up the phone and stepped out of the room.
“Hello…”
Han Moon-taek immediately asked about Seon-woo’s return.
“Yes.”
“You never answer my calls, Father.”
“Three days ago, when Mom was in critical condition. I called you over thirty times saying you should come to the hospital quickly. But you didn’t even send a text.”
“I’m hanging up.”
Green coldly cut off Han Moon-taek’s attempt at an excuse. It was clear it would be just another unreasonable explanation.
Suddenly, Han Moon-taek’s desperate voice came through the phone.
Han Moon-taek’s familiar tone made Green’s skin crawl.
Disgusted, Green immediately ended the call and turned off her phone.
That’s when Seon-woo appeared in the hallway.
“Green, are you okay?”
Confronted with Seon-woo’s concerned eyes, Green suddenly felt overwhelmed.
“No, I don’t think I am.”
“What did Han Moon-taek say?”
“Just the usual nonsense. Nothing worth repeating.”
Ashamed to tell the truth about Han Moon-taek’s demeaning suggestion, Green hid the details. Sensing she was holding something back, Seon-woo misunderstood.
“Did he suggest we divorce?”
“What?”
“Did he say to divorce and remarry someone more manageable, like Juno Tires or Shine Electronics?”
“No, he didn’t mention divorce.”
Confused by Seon-woo’s angry reaction, Green clarified the misunderstanding. Seon-woo calmed down.
“I’ve also been summoned by Father. I haven’t seen him since returning, so I should go. Green, can you drive home alone?”
Green nodded confidently.
“Of course. I’ve always driven alone. How will you go to see your father?”
“I called Kim, my driver. He’ll be here in about 30 minutes, so you go ahead.”
“I could wait with you until…”
Green was about to suggest waiting with Seon-woo, but quickly changed her mind. Every time she met his eyes, she could hear Han Moon-taek’s voice in her head.
“Have Seon-woo’s child quickly… Have Seon-woo’s child quickly… Have Seon-woo’s child quickly…”
Suddenly, Green’s face flushed red, and Seon-woo asked worriedly.
“Are you not feeling well? Your face looks feverish.”
“Oh, yes, I’m not feeling well.”
Seon-woo looked at her with concern and touched her forehead with his palm, then compared it with his own forehead. Unsure of the difference, he gently pressed his forehead against hers.
As Seon-woo’s face suddenly came close, his breath touched Green’s nose and cheeks.
Green’s heart started to pound uncontrollably, and her face naturally flushed with heat.
After a moment, Seon-woo, who had detached his forehead, looked at Green worriedly.
“You really have a fever. It’s better not to drive. I’ll call a substitute driver for you.”
“No, it’s not that bad! I’ll be careful and drive slowly.”
Seeing Green’s persistence, Seon-woo sighed lightly.
“Make sure to call me when you get home. And take some fever reducer.”
“Okay. I’ll call right after I get home, and I’ll take care of the medicine.”
After saying goodbye to her mother in the hospital room, Green managed to leave Seon-woo at the parking lot and exited the hospital alone.
Feeling real muscle soreness throughout her body, Green stopped by a pharmacy to buy painkillers before heading home.
Her body, heavy like water-soaked cotton from sweat, made her want to quickly lie down in bed.
After swallowing two painkillers, Green moved to the master bedroom with difficulty. She hesitated at the bed where Seon-woo had slept the night before.
“Have Seon-woo’s child quickly.”
Han Moon-taek’s voice seemed to echo in her ears again. Green was infuriated not only at Han Moon-taek, who was trying to use her future grandchild for his own benefit, but also at herself for exposing her contact details to her father out of fear when her mother was critically ill.
Regretting that she had contacted her father in the first place, Green berated herself. Had she not done so, she wouldn’t have had to endure the shameful conversation today.
Looking at the bed again, Green felt she shouldn’t stay in the same room as Seon-woo any longer. Fortunately, the apartment was spacious, with two extra rooms besides the master bedroom and Seon-woo’s study.
Green went to the guest room, collapsed onto the bed, and buried herself under the blankets. She unwittingly groaned and fell into a deep sleep.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
