“Do you have the right to say that to me? A man who calls himself a teacher not only fails to guide a child properly but indulges in debauchery.”
Hyo Jin was more shocked at Gyo Hwan’s reaction, who instead of feeling ashamed, coldly scoffed at her.
“That’s why. If you’re that angry, hit me instead. Why did you vent your anger on a child?”
Seemingly tired, Gyo Hwan sighed and approached briskly, hurrying to resolve the situation before the team leader, who had gone to fetch Seung Yul, returned.
“I didn’t like you from the start. But I trusted Professor Kim Yong Hoon and hired you, and you betray my trust and turn me into a violent father? If you, as a teacher, had taught properly, there would’ve been no need to raise a hand to my precious child.”
Hyo Jin had to step back, her neck almost cracking as she looked up at him, who had come right up to her nose.
“Seung Yul said he wants to be a good child!”
But to hit a child without considering their feelings.
“I’ve heard that there are many problems because he grew up without a mother and under his grandmother’s care. He said that if he had a mother, he could also be a good child. So I became a mother for just one day. Because he said he wanted to do good.”
“But why didn’t you speak honestly then? You fobbed it off as something Seung Yul doesn’t know.”
“That’s because…!”
Hyo Jin was tonguetied as if she’d been stabbed.
“……”
Already, her anger had reached the tips of her hair, worried that the sparks would fly onto Seung Yul.
“Having this conversation today, I think it’s really fortunate that I cut you off now, for the sake of Seung Yul.”
Instead of correcting the child’s misbehavior, you were only concerned about covering it up.
“It’s often the case that the incompetent ones, without any real skills, get carried away by their emotions.”
Gyo Hwan, having a meeting ahead, checked the time on his wristwatch as if he’d wasted time needlessly.
“Listen carefully.”
At least you were someone introduced by my father, so I’m giving you this last warning.
“Our Yul will live a life very different from yours.”
“So…?”
Hyo Jin bit her lip tightly, wondering if he was trying to make her grasp the situation like Mrs. Min Ja Hyun.
“Yul will have to lead a law firm in the future.”
In other words, he meant that he would have to make coolheaded judgments even in the face of murderous workloads and stress that ordinary people couldn’t handle.
“But do you know what happens if you fret over trivial emotions like you do? You become a decisionimpaired person who can’t decide anything and blows the wealth and lives of tens of thousands of people. Do you understand?”
“But, that’s not now.”
Did he really not know?
“Seung Yul is just nine years old.”
Second grade. Biologically, he had only been in the world for eight years, although his age was nine.
“But, as for Seung Yul. When I taught him, there was nothing to teach. I don’t know about you, but…!”
What, you?
When was it that you referred to yourself as ‘you’? Gyo Hwan’s eyebrow twitched at the provocation.
“Whether or not you have important work outside, once you enter this house, your job is to be Seung Yul’s dad. Not a lawyer.”
When he seemed speechless and unable to refute, Hyo Jin didn’t miss that moment and pressed Gyo Hwan.
“Have you ever played with the child after coming home from work? Have you ever read a book to him? Since I’ve come to Sangrimwon, I’ve never seen Seung Yul and his dad spending quiet time alone together. Not even having a conversation between the two.”
“Why would I converse…!”
“Choi Seung Yul, come here. Didn’t I say if you don’t listen, you’ll get punished? One, two! Know that you’ll be scolded if you do it again.”
Mimicking Gyo Hwan’s stern voice as if to shut his mouth, Hyo Jin asked.
“You don’t think that this is a conversation, do you? Nowadays, even dogs aren’t raised like that.”
“Ha, so are you saying you’re a competent teacher being bossed around by a child?”
“I didn’t want to be bossed around by Seung Yul, I wanted to understand his feelings. It’s not catering to his whims, but understanding his feelings!”
“Don’t make excuses. No matter how much you sugarcoat it, to me, it’s just being fooled by a child’s games.”
Hyo Jin watched Gyo Hwan’s back as he turned to leave as if even this time was a waste, her fist tightly clenched.
“It’s okay even if I am fooled.”
“……”
“As long as Seung Yul is happy.”
“……”
“I did it knowing I could be fooled. For Seung Yul, who wants to be a good kid for his deceased mother.”
“What did you say?”
He, who seemed to never turn back no matter what was said, scowled fiercely and looked down sharply.
“What did you just say? For his deceased mother…?”
With strength in her eyes as if to say ‘now do you understand?’, Hyo Jin looked up at his eyes, twitching in shock.
“Seung Yul wanted to be a good boy for his mother. But you, his father, beat him until the cane broke, calling him a bad boy? You didn’t even consider understanding Seung Yul’s feelings.”
“……!”
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…?
