“It’s not the King Cat, but the Boss Cat, Wooju.”
“Huh? Boss? Not the king?”
“Come here. Let’s go in quickly. We need to wash your face first.” Seolwon, realizing that she had laughed defenselessly in front of Chae Ha, took the child and headed towards the entrance.
But as she started to enter the passcode herself, Seolwon hesitated and slowed her steps.
May 24. Their wedding anniversary.
Such things should no longer hold any meaning to her.
No, from the beginning, she should have attached no meaning to it. If only she hadn’t….
“Huh…?”
A strange sight entered Seolwon’s vision, as if stopping the tide of her past.
At the very back of the yard, visible from the entrance, a new building had appeared.
To be precise, it was a small prefabricated building, more akin to a small outbuilding.
With no windows and a firmly closed door, it gave off an eerily desolate atmosphere.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed a padlock was secured on the door.

“Don’t worry about that place.”
“Ah…”
Chae Ha, noticing the direction of Seolwon’s gaze, boldly blocked her view.
Hidden by his large figure, the strange building was no longer in sight.
“Don’t even go in.”
“……I won’t.”
Despite the odd insistence not to enter a seemingly locked place, Seolwon simply nodded.
As before, she had no intention of intruding into Kwon Chae Ha’s space, nor any desire to do so.
‘Just for three months…… Pretend to forget for just three months, and leave once I have received my mother’s will.’
With the resolve she had made once before, she reaffirmed her decision in front of the house she returned to after five years. With Wooju, Seolwon stepped inside.
“Wow~ the house is so, so big!”
Once again, with pure admiration, Wooju scurried off towards the expansive living room.
One side of the room was entirely made of glass, offering a full view of the garden.
“I’ve never seen such a big window before, Wooju! It’s so, so big.”
Wooju pressed her hands and nose against the window, looking out as if gazing at a magical scenery.
Sneaking a glance at Chae Ha, who was quietly observing, Seolwon noticed his reaction.
Perhaps he was annoyed by the handprints Wooju might be leaving on the clean window.

The Kwon Chae Ha I knew was not fond of people to begin with.
So, there was even less chance of him liking children.
Having such thoughts, Seolwon quickly went over to the window to remove Wooju.
That was when Chae Ha casually murmured in a tone that held a trace of laughter.
“She seems to like the word ‘huge’.”
“……Around this age, they usually do. Kids use a lot of exaggerated expressions.”
“Is that so.”
A small smile seemed to hover around his lips.
Instead of prying Wooju away from the window, Chae Ha approached the child and whispered something in her ear.
Soon, a spark lit up in Wooju’s eyes.
As if some magic had been cast, Wooju started to follow Chae Ha somewhere.
Just as if she was following the piper, Seol Won also followed him.
The place they arrived at was a room with a pasteltoned door on the second floor.

Had there been such a colored door on the second floor, Seol Won was surprised as Chae Ha swung the door wide open.
“Kid, how about here?”
“Wow!”
Woo Joo quickly entered the room and began to examine the things laid out one by one with sparkling eyes.
From his mouth, he kept exclaiming, “Amazing! Amazing!”
And indeed it was, the room was as big as a playground, and it was decorated like a children’s room seen in dramas.
From the bed to the desk, storage cabinet, table, and other perfectly equipped infant furniture, it was unmistakably luxurious at first glance.
Furthermore, there were fairy tale books filling one side of the wall and all sorts of toys he had never seen before.
It was a room out of a fairy tale, that would have captivated not only Woo Joo, but also the adult Seol Won.
Chae Ha watched Woo Joo, who was rummaging around the room like a squirrel hiding acorns, with a satisfied gaze from behind.
Whenever Woo Joo exclaimed that it was amazing, it seemed like the corners of his mouth were curling up.
“This is your room from now on, kid.”
“Really? Wow! I’m so excited~ Mom! Woo Joo has a room!”
Seeing the child running around happily made Seol Won feel both happy and sorrowful, feeling sorry.

That’s when it happened. Woo Joo beamed and shouted brightly.
“Mister is a good mister!”
At that word, Chae Ha’s brows furrowed slightly.
But he naturally changed the subject so that the child wouldn’t notice.
“We’ve arranged for a helper to come home from tomorrow. You won’t have to do any housework, so you can relax.”
“…Thank you.”
“And I’ve found the best daycare for Woo Joo around here. He’ll be able to start attending from next week. I’ll also arrange a driver.”
“Yes…”
Although she knew he was the successor to the chaebol, she was a bit taken aback by the sudden luxurious lifestyle.
Fortunately, Woo Joo wasn’t old enough to judge such things yet.
He was old enough to believe without a doubt that he was his mother’s close friend.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
