The presence of a husband was so reassuring that Seol Won gathered more courage.
“And Baek Sara, it seems you’ve forgotten, but there are things I couldn’t even mention back then. If I tell Chae Ha everything, wouldn’t you be in trouble too?”
“Well, do you have any evidence? We didn’t exchange a contract, it was merely a promise. You know what a promise is, right, Min Seol Won?”
“Of course, I don’t have any immediate evidence.”
With a look that said “I told you so,” Baek Sara’s lips curled into a smirk.
Unfortunately, as she said, no evidence remained.
In the critical condition of her mother’s life and death, Seol Won had no room to think rationally.
At that time, she herself was barely surviving.
However, Baek Sara must have also been in a rush, so there surely would be a loophole to exploit.
“I’ll start looking into it now. Baek Sara, what you did to me. Even the things I didn’t see back then.”
Faced with Seol Won’s challenge, Baek Sara finally reached her limit of patience.
Her tongue, like a snake, spat out a sinister and explicit threat.
“You dared to come back after what happened? That’s brave.”
“…”
“I warned you clearly before. Min Seol Won. Do you think I’ll let it go?”
The threats were the same as before, subhuman.
That’s why Seol Won decided to treat her as such.
“If you dare touch us again, be prepared to lose something. And I hope you won’t call me out for such matters again. I find it unpleasant to see your face, Baek Sara.”
No sooner had she finished speaking, Seol Won stood up, a sharp gaze stabbing her back like a dagger.
It would be a lie to say she wasn’t afraid, but now she had much to protect.
She had to be strong.
[Star Icon]“Uju!”
“Mommy!”
Uju’s eyes brightened as he spotted Seol Won, and he ran straight into her embrace.
Feeling his fluffy hair, Seol Won hugged him tightly.
He was the treasure of both herself and Chae Ha, something more precious than anything in the world.
She would do anything to protect this child.
“Mommy, did you come to pick up Uju?”
“Yes. I missed saying goodbye to our Uju this morning.”
“Big Daddy took good care of Uju! Mommy was sleeping, he said.”
“Is that so?”
With a gentle smile, Seol Won locked eyes with her son.
Then, she noticed Jae Yoon standing silently behind them and raised her head.
“Jae Yoon.”
“Hello, Seol Won. Did you come to pick up Uju?”
“Yes. How was your day… manageable?”
“Yeah. I thought I was only good at sailing, but it turns out I can drive pretty well too. Haha.”
“…….”
Feeling awkward, Jae Yoon scratched his head, exuding an uneasy and subtly strange aura.
Eventually, he cautiously asked in a low voice.
“I saw the video. That wastrel, falling for such a ridiculous seduction… Kwon Chae Ha must know everything about our family now, right?”
“…Yes.”
“I’m sorry. I know you didn’t want to tell Seol Won.”
“Why should you be sorry, Jae Yoon? Besides, I was the one who told Chae Ha.”
“Huh?”
Surprised, Jae Yoon’s eyes wavered.
As Seol Won stood up holding Uju’s hand, she reassured him again.
“I felt it was okay to tell him everything now.”
“Ah. Ah… Well, that makes sense. Yeah…”
“Oh? There’s the Rabbit Class teacher! Does Jae Yoon Daddy drive the bus vroom-vroom?”
“Yes, Uju. I’m going to take the kids home now.”
Jae Yoon smiled as he gently patted Uju’s small head, then he bid farewell to them both.
“I must go back to work now! Take care on your way home. Uju, let’s meet again.”
“Bye! Jae Yoon Daddy~”
“Take care, Seol Won.”
“Yes. Bye, Jae Yoon.”
Seol Won watched Jae Yoon’s retreating figure for a moment.
Even though she felt sorry for him, this was the right path for his sake.
She noticed a Rabbit Class teacher handing him a drink as he reached the bus.
Feeling a bit relieved, Seol Won tightly held Uju’s hand.
[Star Icon]“Is that so?”
Chae Ha’s eyes narrowed unusually as he received the report.
He had just heard the unexpected news through Director Jung.
Baek Sara had made contact with Seol Won.
[Yes. I couldn’t get close enough to hear their conversation, though.]“That’s alright. The important thing is that they met. It’s premature to conclude, but it was probably Baek Sara who called her out.”
[It seemed so. Baek Sara’s expression was far from friendly.]“This confirms that there was some kind of secret between the two.”
Chae Ha licked his lower lip.
He had been waiting for Baek Sara to make a mistake.
Her decision to meet Seol Won, risking danger, indicated a crack in the ‘something’ existing between them.
He was now determined to unravel it thoroughly.
“So, where is my wife now?”
“Understood. Thank you for your work, Director Jung. Keep an eye on Baek Sara.”
[I wouldn’t take my eyes off her even if you asked. We can’t let this opportunity slip.]Director Jung’s determined voice came through the phone.
Chae Ha nodded heavily to his resolve.
“People who commit crimes will inevitably face the consequences. I promise on the name of Chaeun.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
