She was planning to return to C’est Deux after the White Day plan was over.
They were planning to send another chocolatier from C’est Deux as Ye Seul’s successor.
Sebastian was not pleased with Ye Seul’s trip to Korea, and in Baek Song, they wanted to decide on domestic store operations after seeing the results of the Seedu Core Store No. 1, so they set a period of 3 months.
After 3 months, if Ye Seul returns to Paris, they decided to dispatch a chocolatier from Seedu as her successor.
And they were planning store expansion centered around the successor chocolatier.
Operation of the second and third stores were intended to be handled by Korean chefs, including Ju Yeong, and they were estimating this period to be about one year.
When January comes, the store will be relatively free.
When that time comes, she thought she would have to visit her grandmother’s grave that she had been putting off due to work and visit the workshop.
There was a light knock on the kitchen door.
“Chloe. Here’s the plan for the New Year’s chocolate gift set. The contents checked by the CEO are also organized here.”
“Thank you. Miss Seorin.”
Without realizing it, Ye Seul’s gaze followed behind Seorin.
“The CEO is busy.”
Seorin answered as if using some magic even though she wasn’t asked.
“The CEO has more work because he has to clean up after those who are careless with data management.”
Seorin said this in sarcasm, referring to Si Heon handling the Petit Chocolat lawsuit himself.
For some reason, Ye Seul felt unjust and bit her lip.
“Please put an alarm in the sample room. Someone might come to steal chocolates even after everyone has left work.”
As Ye Seul responded with sudden anger, Seorin’s face twisted.
“Hmm. Hmm. I think I made a mistake because I was worried the CEO might collapse from all the work. I’m sorry, Chloe.”
When Seorin apologized, Ye Seul felt rather embarrassed.
“It snowed last night. You might want to prepare.”
The snow that fell at dawn was a little, not too much.
It didn’t look dangerous when Ye Seul was going to work.
“Prepare?”
Ye Seul blinked her eyes and sent a puzzled look.
“When the season of snow piling up on the snow removal material comes, the CEO gets sick once.”
Seorin said as if she knew Si Heon very well with a faint look on her face.
Ye Seul felt a sting as if she had been pricked by a thorn, and her chest felt suffocating for no reason.
“He said he usually doesn’t get sick.”
“Well, that must be him acting tough in front of Chloe. He’s a person who hates showing his weak side.”
At Seorin’s words, Ye Seul somehow became anxious.
The fact that Seorin knew Si Heon well was because she had been watching him for a longer time, and this obvious fact was annoying.
“All animals are like that. Humans also tend to only show their vulnerabilities to those they rely on.”
“Miss Seo Rin. Are you suggesting that I am not a reliable partner for Mr. Baek Si Heon?”
“Well, it’s hard to read the CEO.”
Seo Rin smiled, tucking her hair behind her ear.
“You do not show any signs of weakness in front of Miss Seo Rin.”
When Ye Seul retorted by slightly raising her chin, Seo Rin’s face turned bright red.
“If Mr. Baek Si Heon is sick, I, his wife, will take good care of him. Thank you for letting me know.”
Ye Seul spoke with a relaxed smile.
Although they shared a bed as per the contract after Hyun Ju left, Ye Seul and Baek Si Heon hardly spent time together at home.
Ye Seul left at dawn and returned late in the evening.
Her body constantly slumped on the sofa, drained of energy, like wilted seaweed.
And Si Heon would come home later than her and leave early.
Every morning, when she opened her eyes, the sight of the bed made her feel the presence of Si Heon’s fleeting visits.
Would this be how her married life ends?
If that were the case, everything would end cleanly as initially planned, with her getting what she wanted, but Ye Seul kept feeling a sense of emptiness.
She licked her lips as if to confirm the memory that kept surfacing.
“Isn’t that Chloe’s call?”
Ye Seul reached for the phone she had placed on the kitchen counter.
Seo Rin peeked at the screen and spoke as Ye Seul frowned at the unfamiliar number.
“It’s from Jeok Seol Jae.”
Jeok Seol Jae?
She remembered the stubborn face of Chairman Baek and his bizarre, insulting remarks.
It was a phone call she neither wanted to hear nor receive, but Ye Seul was a social being.
To fulfill her role as a wife, she couldn’t ignore a call from her inlaws.
What on earth could it be?
“Yes, this is Ye Seul.”
The Chairman is calling for you.
“What’s the matter….”
Please come and confirm.
“Right now?”
The Chairman doesn’t like waiting, so you should come quickly.
It was a onesided announcement.
When Ye Seul raised her eyebrows in displeasure, Seo Rin watched her complexion and asked.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine. I guess I have to go to Jeok Seol Jae.”
Watching Ye Seul take off her apron, Seo Rin said with a sympathetic expression.
“Please return safely.”
Seo Rin knew well about Byung Suk’s temperament.
Chairman Baek was mostly the type to get angry or torment others if things didn’t go his way.
Those who had worked at Jeok Seol Jae for a long time said that the only time Byung Suk showed affection to someone was when his deceased wife was alive.
His affection was only for his wife and daughter.
The daughterinlaw who did not divorce on time must have been displeasing.
Surely, he would lose his temper or scold or act out over this matter as well.
Relieved that she was not called upon, Seo Rin grabbed her tablet and left the kitchen.
((()))((()))((()))
The wide garden of Jeok Seol Jae glittered in places where the snow piled up, reflecting the moonlight.
As soon as she entered the mansion, the housekeeper guided Ye Seul as if he had been waiting.
She was guided to a reception room different from the one where she had withdrawn the divorce.
Such a big house indeed.
Ye Seul thought it was surprising that he had accepted the deal with her grandmother, which probably held little value for him.
The accepted condition, despite the loss, had a deadline of 7 years, which Si Heon and Ye Seul didn’t keep.
She couldn’t imagine how upset Byung Suk would have been.
If it was such an issue, they should have firmly expressed their intention to maintain the marriage.
Ye Seul felt her mouth drying out with tension.
“Miss Ham Ye Seul has arrived.”
Instead of calling Ye Seul a young lady, the housekeeper called her by her name.
“Come in, sit down.”
As Ye Seul timidly stepped into the reception room, a familiar face appeared.
“Hello? Chloe.”
Juliette, dressed in an ivory dress and a white cardigan, exuded a sophisticated ladylike aura.
“Have you been well? Grandfather.”
Ye Seul politely greeted Byung Suk and sat across from Byung Suk and Juliette.
In Byung Suk’s hand was a cane made of highquality aged wood.
“Remove the title grandfather. Call me Chairman.”
Byung Suk said, tapping the table with his cane.
The repetitive sound was quite annoying.
“I’ve heard you’ve upset Mun Kyung quite a lot.”
“What do you mean……”
Ye Seul was caught off guard.
It was ridiculous that in this situation, where Juliette was suspected of distorting her relationship with Sebastian to Si Heon and even stealing the design of the Christmas cake, she was making absurd remarks.
“It’s not right to do so while being friends who studied together in France.”
“Grandfather. She had a similar experience in Paris.”
Juliette spoke to Byung Suk with a hint of arrogance.
“It’s just a coincidence that the designs overlapped, but to go so far as to frame it and even file a lawsuit is too much.”
Juliette wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief as she continued.
“I really just wanted a fair competition.”
Ye Seul’s anger surged at Juliette’s pretentious appearance.

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…?
