“Mr. Baek Si Heon.”
Ye Seul suppressed her surging emotions.
Who are they to be so callous without even listening to my side of the story?
“I will apologize for what I said after the meeting ended. I think I was too harsh.”
Ye Seul moistened her lips as if to speak, but said nothing.
“I’m sorry.”
Why did Ye Seul feel so sad when she heard the apology?
‘Sure, some bosses may let minor mistakes slide, but this isn’t France.’
The injustice of arriving late to the meeting because of Seo Rin’s prank, and Si Heon’s insinuation as if she had been favored by Sebastian in France, made her feel stifled.
“There is no need for you to apologize for my frequent tardiness or mistakes. That’s my fault.”
Ye Seul held her phone tighter.
“The CEO would have had no choice but to act as you did. You can’t possibly look after every employee who makes a mistake.”
“It’s been bothering me all day.”
Si Heon’s voice trailed off.
“If it was a mistake by another employee, I wouldn’t have spent the whole day thinking about it.”
Ye Seul felt a prickling sensation at her nostrils.
How special the chocolatier that the CEO personally brought back from France was treated in the company, Ye Seul felt it in her skin.
“You don’t have to treat me any differently just because I’m the chocolatier from C’Doux. Treat me like any other employee.”
“That’s not it…”
A slightly flustered voice came over the phone.
“You are my wife, Ye Seul, before you are the chocolatier, Cloe.”
She felt a fluttering sensation in her heart, like it had been stroked with a feather.
“After scolding you… It might seem like I have a split personality, but I want to comfort my wife who is depressed from being scolded by her boss at work.”
Ye Seul couldn’t help but smile.
She covered her lips with her cold fingertips in the winter air.
“What are you talking about, Mr. Si Heon? You are so strange.”
“Isn’t this what it’s like between a married couple?”
“Well, I’m not sure since it’s my first marriage, but the comfort from a husband isn’t bad.”
Ye Seul vaguely wondered if this was a sign of reconciliation between a couple.
“So, where are you?”
Si Heon seemed relieved at Ye Seul’s softened tone and asked.
“Pardon?”
“Where are you drinking?”
“Are you planning to come?”
Ye Seul lifted her head as she wrapped her heated cheeks from the alcohol with her cold hands.
“Do you want me to come? Do you miss me?”
“What are you saying… I’m going to see you at home anyway. I don’t miss you at all.”
This man, he’s starting to tease again.
“Then let’s say I’m going because I miss you.”
Was it her heart pounding, or was her head throbbing from the alcohol? Her temples throbbed.
“Tell me where you are. The streets at night are dangerous, and I’m worried about my wife.”
Ye Seul pressed her face with the back of her hand as if to cool down her fever.
Her breath rose in a white puff, but the fever kept increasing.
“Miss Ye Seul.”
Si Heon called her name, waiting for Ye Seul’s response anxiously.
“I’m fine. I’ll take a taxi.”
“What about starting to look for a suitable place for a dinner party near Baek Song Hotel now?”
Ye Seul’s heart pounded even more.
Loneliness creates gaps in the heart, which even disturb rational judgments.
“…… Are you really planning to look?”
“There’s no reason why I couldn’t.”
A languid laughter echoed from the other side of the phone.
The grievances she had against Si Heon and the suspicion related to murder as mentioned by Uncle Chun Ho no longer surfaced.
Her guard against this man kept crumbling.
Dangerous.
Ye Seul brushed her hair with her hand and leaned slightly against the building wall.
((()))((()))((()))
Not long after her phone call with Si Heon, she was greeted by the atmosphere of departure.
“Mister. Please take me to this address.”
“See you tomorrow, Ju Young!”
“Yeah yeah. See you tomorrow, chef!”
Ju Young waved his hand awkwardly.
Ye Seul and Kyu Won put a drunken Ju Young in a taxi and took a picture of the taxi’s number.
“How are you going home, sister?”
“Ah…… Yeah. My house is close from here, it’s a walking distance. Are you taking a taxi, Kyu Won?”
Kyu Won gazed at Ye Seul gently.
“I’ll see you home and then go.”
“I’m fine. I’ll hail a taxi.”
Ye Seul was anxious to send Kyu Won off quickly.
If Si Heon arrives, she might have to explain her relationship with Si Heon to Kyu Won, which was only troublesome.
“I won’t be at ease until I see you getting home safely.”
Was he always this stubborn? Ye Seul tried hard not to show her impatience.
“Thank you. But I’m really fine, let’s hail a taxi.”
Kyu Won seemed to finally give in to Ye Seul’s persistence, nodding his head.
As no taxi arrived to pick up Kyu Won, Ye Seul scrunched up her nose and looked around.
Si Heon was not yet in sight.
“The taxi is not coming. Let’s go to a bigger road.”
As Ye Seul was about to step onto the sidewalk, she momentarily wobbled.
Kyu Won reached out and pulled Ye Seul’s arm.
“Be careful, sister. You seem drunk.”
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…?
