The place where his cold lips had landed quickly turned scorching, and Tae In soon found her senses slipping away.
It was a very strange feeling.
It shouldn’t have been the first time, yet it felt like a firsttime experience.
However, Nok Hyun didn’t give her time to contemplate deeply.
His lips had already reached near her shoulder, and Nok Hyun lowered the strap down past her shoulder as if irritated.
It felt as if she had been stripped.
His firm body was radiating heat.
The strong assurance that it couldn’t possibly be that issue made Tae In feel as if she had been hit on the back of her head.
As the stimulation continued, her lower abdomen tingled.
Suddenly, she felt it was dangerous. She didn’t know why she thought so. It was not a logical thought, but an instinctual feeling.
It was strange. She might have been waiting for this moment, yet Tae In didn’t know why she felt a sense of rejection.
Her body stiffened and soon trembled, as if rejecting him.
Why is this happening? I like Nok Hyun, why, why?
Tae In momentarily opened her eyes that she had tightly closed.
She soon locked eyes with the abysslike gaze looking down at her.
In those seemingly dark, unfathomable eyes, there was no trace of emotion. It seemed he was merely observing Tae In’s condition.
The kiss from a few days ago came to mind.
Nok Hyun gently gazed at Tae In’s trembling lips, lightly meeting her lips with his own.
And then he propped his upper body up.
“Was that your answer?”
At the deeper than usual voice, Tae In gave a small nod.
She seemed to understand now why he wanted to divorce.
Her husband didn’t love her.
Tae In, who fell asleep again at dawn, woke up late in the afternoon.
When she opened her eyes, neither Nok Hyun nor Ee Kyung were in sight.
She momentarily wondered if what happened at dawn was a dream, but quickly dismissed the thought.
The remaining mark on her neck vividly proved it was not a dream.
Whether she closed her eyes or opened them, the image of his cold eyes made her feel suffocated.
She felt like she would go crazy if she stayed home alone.
‘Then, what can I do, I have to go out.’
Tae In took out her hidden disguise tools, disguised herself and left the house.
She put the candy she had stolen again yesterday in her mouth, took all the cash she had in her bag, and left.
She just had to avoid doing anything conspicuous, she thought vaguely.
Arriving at the market, Tae In bought another pair of breathable pants and a few more dog treats.
But no matter how much she looked around, she couldn’t see Jong Don and the puppy.
As she left the market and headed for the main road, she saw the small figure of Jong Don.
Tae In, who was running with joy, stopped abruptly.
The man leaning on the open car was tapping Jong Don’s forehead with his finger, and the woman next to him was giggling and laughing.
And Jong Don was hugging the puppy tightly, shedding tears.
“Hey, just let me borrow it for a moment. I’ll return it after taking a photo.”
“Is this a toy? You’ve been roughly pulling its tail just now!”
With the woman’s words, Jeongdon yelled with all his might.
Tae In felt the blood in her body turning cold.
Just three minutes after deciding not to draw attention, Tae In had jumped out.
Tae In stood before Jeongdon and the puppy, hiding them behind her, and glared fiercely at the man and woman.
“What’s her problem?”
The woman laughed out loud after seeing Tae In’s appearance.
“Let’s go.”
Tae In tightly held Jeongdon’s hand. Jeongdon wiped away his tears and looked up at Tae In.
“Hey, hey, give us that mutt and go. It doesn’t even have an owner anyway.”
Tae In felt irritated at the woman’s mocking laughter.
She felt like she had encountered and confronted such rude people often before.
The old Tae In would have handled it well, but now she couldn’t remember, and had no choice but to act out.
Tae In hurled the snacks she had planned to eat with Jeongdon at the man and woman.
As Jeeha was checking the documents, he pushed himself against the entrance door without pressing the button. Jeeha’s secretary blocked his head with his palm and opened the entrance door for him.
“Attorney, no focusing while walking.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Jeeha quickly skimmed through the documents after replying vaguely. On top of the headache from a merger and acquisition case, he barely had time to eat, let alone sleep, due to taking care of Seji’s personal errands.
He turned on the computer and placed the checked documents next to it.
Jeeha’s eyes narrowed as he read an email from the company.
It was the email login record of Seo Tae In.
‘Gapyeong, Gapyeong…’
Not long after entering the office, Jeeha stormed out of it.
“You should take your keys!”
Jeeha drove his car and moved towards Gapyeong.
The notion that Seo Tae In might be alive was absurd.
Yet, there was only one reason why he obediently went to Gapyeong.
To find evidence of Tae In’s death.
Seji was terribly suspicious. If he had doubts, he would not let it go until the end.
‘He should go himself.’
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
