She couldn’t miss this opportunity because she was afraid of her own feelings towards him. Retreating without even trying wasn’t her style.
Yes, she would give it a shot. With him.
“You don’t have to come, Tae Joon, but make sure to send your secretary. We need two witnesses to register a marriage.”
However, Tae Joon’s expression sank deeply upon hearing her words. Seo Rin gazed up at his face quietly.
Did he change his mind about postponing the marriage registration because he was busy?
Somehow, it feels like the situation has been reversed.
“Why, did you change your mind? Do you want to… pretend the marriage didn’t happen?”
“No, it’s not that.”
“Then?”
Ah, how should he explain this?
In fact, even Tae Joon found it hard to speak since Mrs. Park’s opposition today was an utterly unexpected situation. But such opposition from Mrs. Park made him reconsider.
He had pushed for marriage out of his own desires without considering how their relationship would appear in the eyes of others.
As if marrying her was his ultimate life goal, he had been too fervent.
In the end, Mrs. Park gave him a great realization today. Not only that, she also left him with a difficult task, persuading Mrs. Park.
He opened his mouth with difficulty.
“The truth is, my mother is opposing our marriage.”
Only then did Seo Rin seem to understand the entire situation, her expression showing realization.
“Ah, so that’s why you left like that. Yes, I thought it was strange. You’re not the type to leave your seat like that in front of others.”
She bowed her head for a moment, lost in thought. A myriad of thoughts crossed her mind in an instant, but the conclusion was the same.
“But it’s okay. I told you. We didn’t arrange this meeting to get permission. So… proceed with the marriage registration as planned.”
It was a firm voice.
But Tae Joon knew. This was not her true feelings.
“No, I don’t like that. You described your mother as an important person last time. If she’s important to you, then she’s important to me as well.”
“What… it’s not like that. It’s just…”
“Baek Seo Rin. Why don’t you know your own feelings while acting as if you know everything about the world? Is your mother… really someone you can dismiss so easily?”
In that moment, Seo Rin was at a loss for words.
In truth, she hadn’t been able to define the exact significance of Mrs. Park in her life until now.
At first, she resented Mrs. Park, who had filled her deceased mother’s place, but as time passed, such feelings had faded.
Instead, Mrs. Park had become someone whose presence made her uncomfortable and pained, but strangely concerned.
But it seemed her subconscious had classified Mrs. Park as an important person in her life.
“Don’t worry. I can persuade my mother. We won’t be late even if we register our marriage later.”
Tae Joon reassured her.
But he could say that because he didn’t know Mrs. Park. She was usually quiet and elegant, but she was absolutely unbending in things she believed were right.
It was the moment when an unexpected obstacle for their marriage was anticipated.
However, someone was watching this comforting scene of Tae Joon for Seo Rin.
The man who had just gotten out of his car and had happened to see the two of them stared at them, doubtfully widening his eyes and squinting, as if questioning his own sight.
Had he seen wrongly because it was dark? Or was it a misunderstanding because of the distance?
However, when Seo Rin raised her head at Tae Joon’s comforting touch, the man’s eyes filled with an unpleasant certainty.
“Isn’t that… Baek Seo Rin?”

My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
