Seol Won gazed at Woo Joo’s small back, who was engrossed in his new toys.
She hadn’t been able to buy him many toys because she had been just getting by on the island.
Seeing the curious child enjoying so much stirred a complex array of emotions in her.
‘…Is it right for this child to live hiding the existence of his father?’
Woo Joo looked a lot like Chae Ha.
His unusually white skin resembled mine, but his shiny black hair, distinct nose, and eyes were Chae Ha’s.
Even when I looked at him, his face reminded me of him, to the point where it felt like my heart was being pricked. I wondered if I could deceive his sharp eyes.
Even so, there was no choice now. I had to try my best.
Lost in thought, Chae Ha quietly whispered to her.
“Now, we’ll leave the kid here to play for a while, and we’ll go somewhere else.”
“Another place?”
“Yes. I have to guide you to the places you’ll use.”
Being right, Seol Won asked the universe to play and then followed Chae Ha out of the room.
In this large house, she didn’t use much space anyway.
With that reassurance, Chae Ha suddenly stopped in front of Seol Won, who was moving.
“First, your dressing room.”
“My dressing room…?”
Did I have a separate dressing room? Seol Won tilted her head.
Then, Chae Ha opened a door wide as he did earlier for the universe and showed it to her.
When Seol Won looked inside, she was so surprised that she almost screamed.
If the universe’s room had moved a showroom, this dressing room seemed to have moved a department store intact.
From all sorts of glamorous dresses to casual clothes, a countless amount of clothing was hanging densely on both sides, and bags and shoes were laid out in each compartment on the innermost wall.
That was not all.
Inside the long glass cabinet in the middle, all sorts of accessories and jewels were shining.
“What is this…”
Seol Won barely squeezed out a voice lost in astonishment and looked at Chae Ha.
Then he shrugged his shoulders and kindly explained.
“Don’t you remember? They’re all yours.”
“When did I…”
“You might not remember.”
Suddenly, Chae Ha took out one of the dresses hanging and held it against Seol Won’s body.
It was a very tempting dress with a vivid red color.
“They are all things you liked.”
“….”
For some reason, she had the illusion that Chae Ha’s gaze on her was as red as the dress, but Seol Won quickly regained her senses.
She had never bought such expensive items, and all the things in front of her seemed brand new.
But if she pointed that out, it would be tantamount to revealing that she remembers the old days.
Seol Won had no choice but to refuse a little vaguely.
“I don’t really have anywhere to go, I don’t think I need these things.”
“Why wouldn’t you need them? You are my wife and the little mistress of Chae Un. And…”
Chae Ha suddenly touched his throat and took something out of his shirt.
“Here, your ring. It seems you forgot.”
“…A ring? Why…”
Seol Won briefly looked down at Chae Ha’s hand.
Then she saw the ring he was wearing on his fourth finger.
It was their wedding ring, which Kwon Chae Ha had never worn before.
“Why? We were a couple who never took off their rings for a moment. It’s natural to return it because the owner has returned. The bezel was a little bent, so I fixed it. It might not be very noticeable, but if it’s uncomfortable, tell me.”
“….”
“I’ll put it on for you.”
Instead of urging the dazed Seol Won to take it, Chae Ha caught her hand and carefully put the ring on.
Needless to say, the ring fit perfectly on Seol Won’s slender finger.
Seeing that, Chae Ha’s mouth drew a line of satisfaction.
“See. Min Seol Won, you are undoubtedly my wife.”
“…Let’s go out now.”
“Right. It’s a good timing after all.”
Feeling like her confused state of mind would be revealed if she didn’t get away from this place quickly, she thought his actions resembled a marriage proposal.
Moreover, it felt strange to exchange wedding rings again, out of the blue.
While she was lost in her thoughts, Chae Ha took Seol Won to a different place than she had expected.
“Where is this…?”
“This is our room. You can use this place from today.”
“Our room…”
Her voice, full of fear, was hardly concealed.
The place Chae Ha took her to was none other than their bedroom.
She had naturally thought he would give her a different room; her assumption was completely off.
What’s more, right in the middle of the bed were two pillows, as if to boast.
When Seol Won’s gaze landed on the pillows, Chae Ha’s lips curled into a full smile.
“No need to be shocked. We used to sleep in this bed every night, snuggled together, just like these pillows.”
“……”
She had to deny it, but couldn’t.
Of course, they had shared the bed, but they always kept a decent distance.
But he dared to lie to her without batting an eyelid.
Her cheeks began to flush at his preposterous lie.
During that moment of embarrassment, suddenly, she felt the warm, large sensation of a hand on her cheek.
“……!”
Without realizing it, Chae Ha had stepped close and gently stroked her cheek.
His affectionate touch made Seol Won’s eyes flutter.
Had this man ever looked at her with such eyes? Was he capable of expressing such tender and loving gaze?
Suddenly, the confusion was unbearable.
Within that gap of confusion, Chae Ha’s deep voice settled eerily into her ears.
“It’s okay if you can’t remember.”
“……”
His lips slowly moved past her ear and approached right up to Seol Won’s lips.
Unable to breathe, Seol Won merely blinked her eyes.
His red lips, that seemed about to touch her any moment, opened and he whispered against her lips.
“I will make sure you remember.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
