“Of course, I wouldn’t believe! Where would I trust such a guy?”
When Manager Kang retorted, Taehee wore an expression of surprise.
“Manager Kang too?”
“Of course. Honestly, if it only showed from Annette’s perspective, wouldn’t the audience have cursed the male lead? And originally, the male lead is a bad guy. Originally, a bad guy who says, ‘I used to be bad, but now I’m not, so believe me.’ Who would believe such a fool saying that?”
With an excited expression, Manager Kang spoke with emotional involvement.
“And, Director, think about it. Which woman would believe a man who bets on her? How do you know if his confession of love is a bet or not? Isn’t that right?”
“I think the same way.”
Agreeing with Manager Kang’s words, Taehee suddenly had a thought.
If Sajun didn’t know about the promise with his grandfather and didn’t know that he would be facing a matchmaking situation, would she really have believed Sajun’s confession?
It would have been difficult to believe right away, but even so, she probably wouldn’t have outright disbelieved it like she did at that time.
She would have had a more serious conversation, eventually choosing to believe his feelings and starting a real relationship.
Taehee almost let out a bitter smile.
Whether it’s a friend, a lover, or love itself, nothing seemed easy with Sajun.
But suddenly, Manager Kang let out a light sigh.
“I envy you the most right now, Director. Your boyfriend has good abilities, he’s handsome… Wait a minute, did your lover bet on you, leaving you behind?”
When Manager Kang’s imagination took an unexpected turn, Taehee felt a bit awkward.
“It’s not like that. He has no friends other than me.”
“Really? Why?”
“His personality is difficult, and he’s very cautious about strangers. You saw it back then.”
“Ah…”
Manager Kang remembered the time they met Sajun.
“Even so, he relies on me a lot and is quite obsessed with me.”
“Still, he seems to be full of sense. Considering the way he sent you macarons without missing a word I said. He seems more meticulous than he looks. I think your boyfriend will take really good care of you.”
“He is meticulous and takes good care of me.”
Answering like that, Taehee smiled lightly.
She was under the illusion that he cared so much because he genuinely liked her.
Rather than openly showing it, his subtle consideration that tried not to stand out kept shaking her heart.
“Director, I suddenly changed my mind.”
Looking at Taehee as if asking what she meant, Manager Kang spoke seriously.
“I couldn’t believe in the Sebastian in the movie because he’s not my style. But if someone like your boyfriend, similar to Sebastian, confessed that he loves me, pretending it’s a bet, I think I would believe and date him again.”
“…”
“Anything will be resolved with time, right? As we date, won’t we eventually figure out whether that feeling is false or true?”
The words “time heals” deeply resonated in her heart.
However, what Taehee lacked the most right now was time.
Less than three months left.
“If it’s a lie, curse him to your heart’s content, cry your eyes out, and it will be over. If it’s the truth, it’s a happy ending.”
Manager Kang added, laughing and saying she’d like to receive a confession from a handsome chaebol, even if it’s a lie. But Taehee couldn’t join in the laughter.
It felt like she became Annette, deeply in love with Sebastian in the movie.
If Sebastian’s feelings were false, she couldn’t curse and cry like Manager Kang because she didn’t have the strength.
She sighed deeply and changed Sajun’s name in her phone.
Not ‘Kang Sajun’ but ‘Sebastian.’
⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘Don’t come to pick me up on weekdays. If you come to pick me up, it keeps breaking my routine.’
Taehee firmly told Sajun, who grumbled about not being able to drive her home. It resulted in her spending a calm week, free from disturbances.
She left work on time, increased her exercise, adjusted her diet, and applied a face mask before bedtime.
Her daily life, distorted by Sajun, was gradually returning to normal.
And it was already Friday.
After showering, Taehee checked her weight.
The bloated weight had returned to normal in just five days.
“Wow, that’s a relief.”
Breathing a sigh of relief, the phone rang.
With a feeling of disbelief, Taehee looked out the window before answering the call.
The moment she saw Sajun leaning against the newly contracted SUV, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Suppressing the almost overwhelming joy, Taehee answered the call calmly.
“What’s up? Why did you come again without saying anything?”
Sajun, holding the phone to his ear, looked up slowly when his eyes met Taehee’s, and he smiled.
Wow, he’s really crazy.
Standing under the streetlight, Sajun was wearing a suit, perhaps for some important appointment.
His tie was still crooked, but even that looked sexy.
The suit’s textbook was definitely Sajun, and the completion of the suit was the crookedness.
She wasn’t crying, but honestly, she did want to see him.
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…?
