“What… What are you talking about?”
“I told you. Legally, you are still my wife.”
Chae Ha’s firm gaze left no room for denial, cornering her.
As one would expect, he had no intention whatsoever of letting Seol Won go.
“Do you not want to know about your mother’s will, which I have?”
“……!”
For a moment, Seol Won was at a loss for how to react.
Her mother’s will…?
Despite clearly observing Seol Won’s confusion, Chae Ha leisurely turned around, surveying the flower shop.
As if he were now here to sightsee.
Leaving Seol Won, who couldn’t respond, behind, Chae Ha lifted one of the finely manicured pots.
The vibrant leaves on the pot seemed unusually delicate in his hand.
“I sent it to the cemetery according to your mother’s wishes. Aren’t you curious about where it was placed?”
“…….”
Continuing in silence, Chae Ha seemed to conclude that she had no intention of answering.
Even so, his questions continued.
“It’s strange. Min Seol Won. You were dutiful enough to marry me for your mother’s sake, so why didn’t you come to the funeral? Despite being so well and alive.”
His words pierced Seol Won’s heart like a sharp dagger.
Just as he said, Seol Won hadn’t sent her mother off with her own hands 5 years ago.
No, she hadn’t been able to.
“……I told you. I was collapsed on the island. I didn’t even know my mother had passed away.”
“Right. You didn’t remember anything.”
“…….”
“Well, it’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it. Either way, I’m planning to find out everything from now on.”
Contrary to his declarative tone, Chae Ha looked pleased as he placed the pot down.
Then, he strode back towards where Seol Won was standing.
“But your memory loss is really selective. You remember your mother but forgot your husband.”
“……How could I forget my own mother, no matter what?”
Avoiding his gaze with difficulty, Seol Won muttered under her breath, soon staring at Chae Ha with determined eyes.
“What’s going on? The will……”
“She entrusted it to her doctor when she was on the verge of death. I haven’t opened it yet either. She insisted that we must read it together.”
“Where is it? Give it to me now!”
At Seol Won’s urging, Chae Ha’s lips curved upward.
Regardless of what was happening, he was satisfied with the situation where she needed something from him.
“It’s at home.”
“……Home?”
Seol Won’s eyes widened as she looked at Chae Ha, startled.
She had thought he brought it with him, but it seemed she had underestimated Kwon Chae Ha.
“Yes. Our home. The home where you and I always slept together.”
At his provocative smile, Seol Won’s cheeks flushed red.
His words had a dual meaning, clearly intended to fluster her.
Chae Ha clenched his hand in thin air as if he was holding a nonexistent will.
“If you want this, stay by my side for three months.”
“……Three months?”
“That’s right. I don’t plan to keep someone who can’t remember me for long. If you stay by my side for three months, I’ll give it back to you graciously.”
Staring at his hand suspended in the air, Seol Won bit her lower lip tightly.
A will from her mother, it was something she couldn’t have imagined.
Because she couldn’t even say a final farewell to her mother, who had suddenly become critically ill.
And that had always remained in Seol Won’s heart as a deep guilt and regret.
As such, for Seol Won, it was an offer she couldn’t easily refuse.
After hearing that there was a last message left by her mother who had sadly departed from this world, she couldn’t pretend not to know.
Furthermore, with the universe continually expanding, she couldn’t continue living this way forever.
Since she had been found out to be alive, it seemed better to neatly conclude the contract.
Since it had not been properly ended five years ago, after receiving the will, she could divorce.
If that happened, she thought she might not have to live on the run anymore.
At that time, she had a universe in her womb, so she had to burn her body.
For the safety of her child, she had to endure the heartwrenching pain and give up on her mother’s farewell.
Because if she left, they wouldn’t leave her and the universe alone.
The motherinlaw who always saw her as an eyesore and the woman the motherinlaw had chosen as the daughterinlaw long ago.
They, who had even threatened her mother’s life to oust her.
This time, the target would be the universe, which was easy to guess, but Seol Won was different from then.
Three months. It was a short yet long time.
Of course, it would be a lie if she wasn’t afraid, but now she wouldn’t be oppressed as before.
Because she knew better than anyone what the two people who pushed her to the cliff feared most.
If she opened her mouth about the truth of the disappearance, their muchdesired remarriage of that woman and Chae Ha would fall apart.
In the end, Seol Won nodded her head with difficulty.
“……Okay. I’ll do it. But the promise, you have to keep it.”
“You should keep your promise too. Just like what you said.”
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
