“Baek Si Heon’s expression hardened in an instant.
Love?
Had such an emotion ever been allowed for Si Heon?
“Unless it’s a contract marriage like ours, love is necessary for marriage.”
Si Heon slowly opened his mouth.
The woman who ruined her life because of love was his mother. His father was a poor man, and his mother abandoned her arranged marriage to elope with his father.
‘It was madness. It’s impossible to abandon money, honor, and family in your right mind. That’s why she came back to me when she regained her senses!’
It was a story Byung Suk had been nauseatingly repeating since childhood.
‘Love makes people crazy. It’s a mental illness. The end is miserable. Just enjoy dating like a game, and marry the person I arrange for you.’
Si Heon had killed his emotions in the midst of a kind and peoplefriendly smile.
He had no intention of becoming a puppet like Byung Suk, but he also didn’t want to make foolish choices while floundering in emotions.
Would he have seemed madly in love with Ye Seul in Byung Suk’s eyes?
Was it crazy to wish that the woman who had no feelings for seven years was with him for at least three months?
No, there was never an occasion where he would give himself over to a clouding emotion. It was just that the timing of coincidentally meeting his wife after seven years was appropriate.
“Did I appear to be feeling such emotions towards Miss Ye Seul?”
At Si Heon’s question, Ye Seul felt embarrassed enough to want to crawl into a mouse hole.
“No. As you said, love is necessary for normal marital relationships, so I just wanted to confirm.”
Stupid Ye Seul. The excuse seemed so lame that her words circled her mouth.
Why was it so clumsy?
Ye Seul realized she had no immunity to such situations.
She didn’t want to seem like a shallow and cheap person, so her bluff seemed to be pierced by sharp, shining black eyes.
“So… I just am.”
Maybe because she had been obsessed with work and never even thought about dating, it was easier to mistake Si Heon’s actions for having feelings.
“I was just asking for confirmation.”
Ye Seul felt her face heating up and pressed it with the back of her hand.
“If it makes you comfortable, I can say that I love you many times.”
Ye Seul narrowed her brows at Si Heon’s words.
The word ‘love’ didn’t suit this fake marriage.
“I don’t need that.”
How oldfashioned must she have seemed to have mentioned love?
“I made a mistake. How could we call it love after seeing each other for such a short time…”
Could it have been some sort of movielike love at first sight story?
The reason this man was nice was because he was nothing more, nothing less than a partner in a contract marriage…
A light relationship that emphasized onenight stands and pleasure.
Even when such topics naturally became the talk among her friends, Ye Seul was a married woman and didn’t particularly care.
Ye Seul, who had no interest in anything but Sebastian and chocolate, was ostracized in that crowd.
“I hate feelings like that, since we’re bound to end it anyway.”
She became aware of her own arm lightly touching Si Heon’s elbow and looked down.
Right, it doesn’t bother you to have our flesh touching like this.
She raised her head, ignoring the fact that her entire nervous system was drawn to that point.
Thinking about it, she didn’t like the feeling of Si Heon going out and spending time with other women, even though she was by his side.
Even though it was a contract, Si Heon and Ye Seul belonged to each other.
“Sigh… Mr. Baek Si Heon. If I think about what we promised at the end of this marriage, I intend to go along with your will as much as possible.”
“The remaining three months for us will be quite enjoyable.”
Si Heon swallowed his bitterness and smiled.
It was a decision made with mutual consent.
Suddenly, her man came to mind. Was it because of the man she left in Paris? He might send Ye Seul back to Paris, saying that he loves her.
It’s disgusting to come now and speak as if he were a husband.
Yet Si Heon felt a stifling feeling, as if something was stuck at the edge of his heart.
This might be petulance, like a child who doesn’t want his thing taken away.
At least for the next three months, they were married.
Why does Baek Si Heon, who is kind and good to everyone, have such bad feelings only for this woman?
There was something in this woman that stimulated his hidden nature.
Chocolatier Chloe.
A woman who, unlike him, makes all her decisions and walks the path of earning everything according to her will.
“I won’t do anything that Ms. Ye Seul doesn’t want.”
Si Heon’s suggestion to Ye Seul to share a bed was somewhat impulsive.
But the face that opened wide eyes, opened its plump lips, turned red as if embarrassed, did not make him want to change the terms of the contract.
“Think of it as a time to create our last memories.”
Ye Seul slightly raised her chin. A lock of hair fell and covered her forehead.
“Both Ms. Ye Seul and me.”
Si Heon moved Ye Seul’s hair slightly behind her ear.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
