“Mr. Si Heon.”
Unable to understand Si Heon’s intentions, Ye Seul was worried she might have said something wrong.
Ye Seul was curious about the expression hidden by Si Heon’s hand.
“It’s time to go. It’s almost time for work.”
Ye Seul attempted to reach out and confirm, but Si Heon burrowed under the covers and commanded her to leave.
Ye Seul felt uncomfortable.
Raising herself, Ye Seul touched the pillow beside Si Heon’s head and grabbed the end of the blanket.
Bending down, she grabbed the blanket as if to yank it off.
“Miss Ye Seul!”
Si Heon turned in surprise.
Ye Seul’s lips parted slightly.
Seeing Si Heon’s flushed face and unsettled expression, Ye Seul gently covered him with the blanket.
“Sleep well.”
Ye Seul hurriedly bid farewell and exited the study.
Ye Seul couldn’t understand what had provoked Si Heon.
Si Heon’s emotions poured out.
Although she didn’t know why, Si Heon was clearly embarrassed by her small action of pulling the blanket.
She thought he would respond with a casual fake smile or agreement, but his reaction made Ye Seul’s heart flutter.
Baek Si Heon being embarrassed about something.
Si Heon sat up and ruffled his hair.
‘Sebastian was always fair. Sebastian was a mentor and like a family to me.’
When he heard her sweet voice, as smooth as chocolate, criticizing and defending Sebastian with her pretty lips, he didn’t want her to find out just how disgusting and petty he felt.
Ye Seul was wrong.
The reason why he didn’t want to mention Sebastian was clear in Si Heon’s heart.
He had no expectations about his wife, nor did he ever desire tranquility.
Yet, this repulsive feeling that twisted his insides might have been an obsession like the one Byung Suk had taught him.
It was jealousy born out of cowardly selfishness.
For these three months with my wife, I wish she would only look at me.
Knowing there was already someone in her heart, he still wanted it.
He was embarrassed by his childlike feelings.
‘I will not make you like your mother.’
Byung Suk, as his only protector, used physical and verbal abuse to tame Si Heon.
Physical and physiological pain were harsh on the young Si Heon.
Gradually, the rebellion inside Si Heon also subsided.
‘Hehehe. Baek Si Heon. You just need to listen to me.’
Hiding his emotions and laughing, Byung Suk also laughed.
Through it all, he always smiled as if nothing was wrong.
Laughing became a better weapon than ever before.
Showing any emotion other than laughter made him feel incredibly weak and shameful.
All this time, what he himself didn’t even know was exposed so easily in front of her, it felt as if he was naked.
A wife is a dangerous entity.
He might fall helplessly in, just like when he tasted chocolate for the first time.
“I want to eat Chocolat Oh Series.”
With his palm, Si Heon pressed the corners of his eyes and reached out to the tablet.
Today, he had to meet a former Baek Song bakery employee who had stolen the design, and he had to gather evidence for the lawsuit.
Another busy day begins.
((()))((()))((()))
As Christmas season approached, C’est Deux Coeur became even busier.
From hotel guests looking for accommodation to customers who made the trip just to visit, they formed a line every day.
Ye Seul was so happy that she forgot about the fatigue of her body.
Observing the reactions of the customers directly, ideas for new cakes sprung to mind.
Even after closing time, she stayed behind, devoting her time to developing new products.
Today, after closing the store, she called the C’est Deux Coeur family and held a tasting session for the new product in the kitchen.
“This is the cake that will be launched as a special Christmas Day limited plan.”
The chocolate mousse filled between the chocolate sponge made the cake look even more delicious.
It was a cute cake with white chocolate piled up like snow, and a snowman made with white chocolate snow crystals and macarons as an accent.
“Even though you used a lot of chocolate, it’s not too sweet. It’s just right.”
“It melts softly in your mouth, doesn’t it?”
The parttime workers poured out compliments.
“Ye Seul, I want to buy this and take it home. I should eat it with my family.”
Joo Young spoke while munching a mouthful of cake.
“Sister, I want to gift this to my mother too.”
Gyu Won, too, had already finished a plate cleanly.
“The anticipated sales volume is this much, so we can make a little more.”
Ye Seul showed the data to Joo Young and Gyu Won and said.
“Isn’t this going to be sold out by the morning?”
“That would be just perfect.”
“I want to eat a little more.”
Ye Seul cut a piece of cake and held it out to Joo Young.
“Merci. If you go to the French headquarters, you won’t be able to eat this taste anymore, right?”
Joo Young savored the taste regretfully.
“Joo Young, you should be the chef for C’est Deux Coeur. What you make is also very delicious.”
“Yes! I’ll do my best.”
Joo Young clenched her fist with her lips tightly closed.
Ye Seul encouraged Joo Young and thought about the time she had left.
