“Completely… you’ve come back?”
Seorin, whose heart had calmed down to some extent, looked at Taejun calmly and asked. Seeing him after a few days brought a moment of joy and excitement, but there was also a fear that he might have come to take the remaining belongings.
Fortunately, he shook his head.
“No, I won’t leave again. Because the reason for me to leave you… has disappeared.”
At his words, Seorin bit her lip tightly.
During his absence, she tried to act as composed as possible, but there was always a fear in a corner of her heart. And before she knew it, she felt his unmistakable presence penetrating deep into her heart.
One day, a man flew in by chance.
And he quietly took his place in her heart, unbeknownst to her.
The day he suddenly declared farewell, the one she thought would always protect her, the one she took for granted, could also… leave first.
“Now, can you tell me? Why… did you try to leave me?”
Taejun nodded at her words.
Now he could tell her. How naive he had been. Or how unreasonably he had believed in words without any evidence.
It didn’t matter if she laughed.
Now she had to know.
“During this time, do you know that I met the people who used to work at your house?”
“Yeah.”
“At that time, there was one common fact. That your mother had a secret lover.”
At his words, Seorin bit her lip as if doubting her own ears and lowered her head to him.
“What did you say?”
“Understand. You can’t believe it, right? I felt the same way. But when three people each talked about it, it became hard not to believe. Besides, they all mentioned that Han Jiseon had been investigating it.”
Her eyes widened in shock and amazement at her words.
But she hadn’t experienced the ‘shock’ of the shock yet.
The real shock was about to begin.
“But one day, pretending to be a coincidence, a man came flying.”
“And he found out the identity of that secret lover when he met Go Yeonghee. Of course, Go Yeonghee said there was no evidence. But she witnessed it with her own eyes and said that’s why she stopped.”
“…”
“That secret lover was none other than… Chairman Baek.”
“What!”
A short exclamation of admiration spilled from Seorin’s mouth as if she was amazed. Then, in an instant, her eyes revealed an indescribable confusion and shock.
Taejun thought quickly that he should hold her. Because he had already experienced such shock and fear.
“I know. It was a shock. But it wasn’t true.”
First, he spoke the conclusion. That way, she might be able to breathe.
As expected, Seorin took a deep breath, drinking a glass of water.
“Really… It’s an unbelievable story. Why did Go Yeonghee say such a thing…”
“So, I don’t understand that intention either. Later, I plan to investigate separately about Go Yeonghee. To find out why she told such unbelievable lies with what intention.”
“You should. If you don’t, I will!”
In response to her enraged voice, Taejun nodded.
“But… How did you find out? How did you know it was a lie?”
Yes, the story starts now. If she hadn’t been there, he would have been deceived by that lie, leading to the collapse of their relationship.
“Ye-Yes, it’s because of you. You… you met Han Jiseon that day, right? That day… was on your way back from the airport?”
Even now, Taejun’s heart crumbled when he thought of that day.
It was the day he met Han Jiseon and declared divorce to her, who had come to the airport to meet him.
“Sorry, I couldn’t help it. Of course, I knew that Taejun hoped I wouldn’t get involved in this. But just letting it go seemed too complicated.”
“Yeah, that’s right. I made an unwise judgment. Still, I boasted that I could distinguish the truth, but I was wrong. I got completely fooled.”
“So, did you talk to Housemaid Han about it?”
“Yeah. She contacted me and told me everything. Chairman Baek, that is, my father, and our mother were never in such a relationship.”
“Ha… Thank goodness. I almost lived my whole life resenting you without knowing the truth.”
“Sorry. But I couldn’t talk to you about the reason for the divorce. I thought it was a burden I had to bear. If I hadn’t questioned the past, it could have been something I could live without knowing. I thought it was my fault in the end.”
Only then did Seorin understand his words on the day he declared divorce, saying they should part because they loved each other. And why Taejun suffered more from suggesting divorce than she did.
This was the reason.
They thought it was an immoral relationship.
Thinking of him bearing all that burden alone with all those secrets, Seorin’s heart also crumbled.
“You, fool. Too sentimental. Why… do you always try to bear all the pain alone?”
“I thought I had to back then. If I told this story, you, who cleared up the misunderstanding about your father, would be angry and resentful for the rest of your life.”
Of course, he thought so. Taejun believed that Baek Seorin knew everything about him, even down to a single cell.
But Seorin shook her head firmly and denied it.
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…?
