At the mention of divorce, Nok Hyun’s face hardened in an instant.
As if he had heard something he shouldn’t have.
After a long time staring at Tae In, Nok Hyun forced out a hollow laugh.
“Can’t you understand the situation?”
Nok Hyun wiped off the smudged lipstick at the corner of Tae In’s mouth with his thumb.
Tae In’s body stiffened at his touch for a moment.
Even after hearing the suggestion of divorce, his attitude was still nonchalant.
Nok Hyun slowly uttered his words.
“The one who should be regretful is you, Seo Tae In.”
“…….”
“You learned that you can’t do it alone, didn’t you?”
Indeed, she had learned that, paying a hefty price for it.
Tae In bit her lower lip slightly and looked at Nok Hyun.
It was the cold expression that she had always seen before losing her memory.
“Even though I became the CEO, is there still something left for you to use?”
“The purpose of our marriage was not for me, but for you to become the CEO of Tae Gang.”
Tae In squinted one eye.
Nok Hyun had shown interest in Tae Gang even before their marriage. As for why he was interested in a company with a lower rank and smaller size than his own, Tae In couldn’t understand.
“If you hadn’t hidden me by faking my death, you wouldn’t have lost it.”
“If I hadn’t, you’d be dead already.”
She couldn’t refute it.
Tae In shut her mouth tightly.
Watching Tae In, Nok Hyun opened his mouth with a softer expression.
“When you’re in a situation where you can stand on your own, I’ll let you go.”
“…….”
It was Tae In who first suggested divorce.
But why did her heart sink for a brief moment at his words that he would let her go?
“Think about it carefully, what will benefit you.”
Several days had passed since then. He thought he had given Tae In enough time to think, but there had been no contact from her.
On his rare day off, Nok Hyun didn’t know what to do.
He habitually listened to Tae In’s voice saved in his voicemail over and over again.
‘You are precious to me, and I will protect you.’
Had he ever heard that he was someone’s precious person?
Not from his family, not from anyone else, but it was Tae In who said those words to him.
A strange feeling arose.
Why did it hurt so much to hear that he needed protection from a person who herself looked like she needed protection?
Was it because of Do Hyun’s last words? Or was it because of the guilt of using Tae In?
Nok Hyun wandered around the house with another candy in his mouth.
Tae In’s voice occasionally echoed in his ears, and Tae In appeared before his eyes.
He rationalized that he was seeing things due to lack of sleep, but it didn’t get better.
He felt he was either suffering from a disease of obsession, or experiencing separation anxiety like Stella.
Then suddenly, he entered Tae In’s room.
Stella, who had been sleeping on Tae In’s bed, lifted her head.
Nok Hyun stroked Stella’s head and perched on Tae In’s desk.
Tae In’s belongings brought from Gapyeong remained untouched on the desk.
Arm sleeves in a sun cap, oldfashioned clothes. They were all items that didn’t resemble Tae In.
Despite the fact that Tae In hadn’t used this room for over a month, there seemed to be a lingering scent of hers.
Nok Hyun grazed Tae In’s dustfree desk with his fingertips.
Tae In often worked here late into the night.
With thinframed glasses on, she would work until dawn and then go to work dressed immaculately.
Throughout their marriage, Nok Hyun had never seen Tae In looking disheveled.
Tae In had regained her memory and faced Nok Hyun without a hint of disarray.
From her expressionless face and cool eyes, Nok Hyun could not read any emotion.
Nok Hyun opened a small notebook containing Tae In’s diary entries brought from the villa.
Every day, she had densely written down the emotions she felt and the new memories created.
Most of them were about wanting to eat chicken.
[I like Kang Nok Hyun.]His gaze fixed on that phrase.
At first, he hoped that Tae In would regain her memory quickly.
But at some point, he wished she wouldn’t.
So much so that he felt pathetic for having such thoughts.
Nok Hyun wanted to give Tae In time to think.
In fact, he was confident. He arrogantly guessed that Tae In would eventually take his hand.
During Tae In’s absence, Nok Hyun realized.
That he couldn’t bear even a few days without Tae In.
After parting with Nok Hyun, Tae In went straight to find Arin.
The doctor said it seemed like Arin had an accident while under the influence of sleeping pills.
Fearful that Se Ji might come looking for her, he admitted Arin to a different hospital and stayed by her side for several days.
Arin wept and fainted from not wanting to go home, and when she was awake, she shivered with fear.
With concurrent psychotherapy, Arin gradually improved.
She quickly noticed that Tae In had regained her memory.
“Seo Arin.”
Lying on the hospital bed sketching in her sketchbook, Arin quickly sat upright.
“Uh, yes? Why?”
Arin blinked her large eyes.
“Don’t you hurt anymore?”
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…?
