Certainly, here is the English translation of the passage with accurate character names and genders:
“Lady Jeong… I heard there was a man. Not your husband, but a lover.”
In an instant, Tae Joon’s brain seemed to freeze, unable to think of anything.
Due to the enormous tsunami of shock, his mind was almost reduced to rubble.
“Now… What did you say?”
He must have heard wrong.
No, he had to have heard wrong.
But Park Gil Ja, stumbling to speak, once again assured him that there was nothing wrong with his hearing.
“I… know. It’s unbelievable. I can’t believe it myself.”
A man? There was a man with Mother?
Certainly, here is the English translation of the passage with accurate character names and genders:

On weekdays, to the mother who had to take care of Seo Rin 24 hours a day and come home like clockwork on weekends to look after her young son, where on earth did she find the time for that!
He couldn’t believe it at all.
“There’s no way that’s true.”
“I know. I didn’t believe it either.”
“On what basis are you saying such a thing?”
“Well… I didn’t hear it myself, but the coworker who used to work with me said that Lady Jeong had been on the phone with a man in her room several times after putting Seo Rin to sleep. But they said it wasn’t her husband.”
Yeah. It couldn’t have been Father.
Certainly, here is the English translation of the passage with accurate character names and genders:
At night, Father would often be in an intoxicated state at either the gambling den or the bar, making it impossible to have a conversation.
So who on earth was his mother talking to during those hours?
“On a night like that, was there someone she talked to on the phone other than her lover? But one of the butlers told me that if they didn’t know the circumstances, they shouldn’t speak carelessly, and they’ve been monitoring the employees very closely.”

“……”
“Well, it might not be her lover. We really don’t know other people’s situations. That’s why we didn’t report it to the police separately.”
“Who… Who on earth heard the contents of that call?”
Certainly, here is the English translation of the passage with accurate character names and genders:
“Well, it all started with a girl who worked at that house for about three months. She was quite lovely but couldn’t sleep at night, so she went out for a short while and saw someone talking in the garden. And after that, there were a few more people who heard Lady Jeong talking to a man at night. I don’t exactly remember who they were, though.”
“Did you happen to hear what they were talking about…?”
“I couldn’t make out that part. But they said the voice coming from the phone was a man’s.”
“……”
“I know. It’s hard to believe. I feel the same way. Maybe I said something unnecessary.”
Certainly, here is the English translation of the passage with accurate character names and genders:
Park Gil Ja seemed to regret speaking and avoided his gaze with an anxious and apologetic look.
A myriad of emotions churned inside, constricting his breath.

The more he knew the truth, the more it became an unbearable reality, threatening him.
To live in a world without doubts, he had to know the truth, but it felt like it was pushing him further into greater confusion.
And in the midst of this chaos, Tae Joon struggled so much that it felt like he couldn’t even breathe.
He didn’t know how to escape, utterly clueless.
After parting ways with Park Gil Ja, Tae Joon didn’t know in what state of mind he had driven home.
However, even though he had arrived at the apartment parking lot quite some time ago, he couldn’t bring himself to get out of the car and was lost in thought.
The feeling was as if his heart had been pierced by the unbelievable truth. Through that pierced hole, a cool breeze blew, making his heart even colder.
Could there really have been another man in his mother’s life?
As he pondered in silence, emotionally he couldn’t accept his mother’s infidelity, but he acknowledged the theoretical possibility.
His mother, Jung Ok Ja, was still beautiful despite being in her 40s. That’s not all. Life had been harsh enough to warrant complaints, but in his memory, his mother exuded elegance in her actions and mindset.
So Park Gil Ja must have said that his mother had more refinement than the typical affluent housewife.

To such a mother, his father must have been an incredibly heavy shackle. A shackle that would have been shed long ago if not for Tae Joon. His father had used young Tae Joon as leverage against his mother.
So how much would he have wanted to break free?
Perhaps the affair was the only escape for his mother in the suffocating reality of life, where breathing became a struggle.
Now, up to this point, this is just a theory. It’s a theory derived solely from the situation, excluding everything about who his mother is, what kind of person she is.
But emotionally, he could never accept it. The mother he knew would never divert her attention to another man when she had children to care for.
What could the truth really be?
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
