Checking his wristwatch, Kyle’s brows furrowed in frustration.
He had never waited for anyone, even for a minute or a second.
To have his time taken for twenty minutes was beyond infuriating.
Was this feeling beyond anger some form of transcendence?
He felt so incredulous that he could only let out a hollow laugh, as if he had reached a state of enlightenment.
And it was all because of Lee Se-hee.
He had thought he might wait a mere ten minutes, but now, even as she failed to appear at the agreed location, Kyle had been sitting patiently.
But his patience was reaching its limit.
“Where is she right now?”
Kyle muttered to himself, sounding almost like an order, and Dave moved in response.
Shortly after, Dave returned, informing Kyle that Se-hee was currently watching a circus performance at the grand theater.
“Circus?”
So, she likes circus shows?
But to be late on the very first day they had agreed to meet every evening for dinner?
He had clearly mentioned that dinner time was according to the opening hours of the Francois restaurant.
He had managed his extensive work at an accelerated pace just for this appointment.
Kyle let out a cynical laugh.
She would never imagine such a thing.
Even he was surprised at himself for being in such a situation.
He checked his wristwatch again.
The performance should have already ended by now.
Why hasn’t she appeared?
Could something have happened to her?
He was starting to worry.
“Dave.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Is there any further information?”
At Kyle’s question, Dave’s expression turned meaningful.
“Shall I check immediately?”
Dave spoke in a clearly displeased tone.
“If you just instruct me to reinstate the secret surveillance order that you had Captain Marcus cease immediately…”
Kyle’s gaze sharply turned towards Dave.
‘He must be saying this on purpose.’
Dave, noting the displeasure on Kyle’s face, added another jab.
“I think it would be best for you to stop at this point, sir.”
“Dave.”
But Kyle’s face bore an intimidating warning not to cross the line.
Once again, Dave had no choice but to quietly leave the room.
The magician, catering to children with a spectacular fireworks show and romantic magic performances for couples, created various mystical scenes.
He truly lived up to being the world’s best magician.
The changing colored lights and special effects made the show even more thrilling.
Se-hee was completely engrossed in each performance.
She was especially captivated by the bubble show.
She clapped even more enthusiastically than the children when the magician filled the transparent soap bubbles with smoke, resembling mist.
Sung-jae, sitting next to her, watched Se-hee with a happy smile.
Finally, as the magic show concluded, it was time for the finale.
“Now, as our last treat, we’d like to give out chocolates to everyone. If you want one, please raise your hand.”
As soon as the magician finished speaking, not only the child spectators but also the adults raised their hands.
Naturally, Se-hee raised hers too.
“Aren’t you going to raise your hand, Sung-jae?”
She then turned to Sung-jae, who was sitting quietly.
“Ah… I’m not much for chocolate.”
Sung-jae just shrugged his shoulders.
“Still, raise your hand. If you get one, give it to me, okay?”
Se-hee’s eyes twinkled like a greedy child.
“Well, in that case, I better try hard.”
Sung-jae raised both hands enthusiastically.
However, neither of them received a gift from the magician.
The magician had given all the chocolates to the child spectators.
“They should have just given one to everyone.”
Se-hee’s disappointment was evident.
“Hahaha. Are you that disappointed? I’ll buy you one on our way out.”
Sung-jae looked at Se-hee with a playful smile, as if he found her adorable.
“No, it’s different getting a gift directly from the magician than just buying one.”
“Ah… I see. Then I shall capture the magician and present him to you at once, my lady.”
Se-hee burst into laughter at Sung-jae’s playful words.
“It’s already dinner time. I’ve made a reservation at a pretty fancy restaurant. Let’s go have dinner together. I’ll order chocolate fondue for dessert.”
Sung-jae, well-prepared, was about to lead Se-hee out of the theater.
“Ah… What should I do? I’m sorry, but I already have a dinner engagement.”
However, Se-hee regretfully declined.
“An engagement?”
Sung-jae’s face, which had been in a dreamy state, started to show cracks of disappointment.
He knew the person Se-hee was meeting was probably who he suspected.
Sung-jae didn’t want to let Se-hee go to him.
“What time is it?”
Checking her watch, Se-hee froze.
She was in trouble.
She had calculated the time to the end of the performance, but that chocolate…
All because of trying to get a piece of chocolate…
She really messed up.
If only she had gotten a chocolate, it wouldn’t feel so unfair.
Just thinking about Kyle’s personality made her shiver.
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…?
