On the other hand, Chae Ha continued with his calm demeanor.
“It’s a job for the dad… no, for number one.”
“What…… you’re a busy person. I heard you’re now a vice president.”
“There’s something called priority in the world.”
Saying so, Chae Ha looked at Seol Won with a blindly devoted gaze.
Why? His gaze seemed to say that she was his priority, and her heart strangely fluttered.
Thinking logically, accepting his offer was undoubtedly a stretch.
But Chae Ha was faster this time too.
Reading her hesitant expression, he quickly proposed a compromise.
“Let’s just try it on the first day and decide.”
“Then I will also……”
“No, just Uju and I will go. How about it, little one?”
“I love it! Mom, I want to go to kindergarten with the giant uncle~.”
There was nothing more to say when Chae Ha looked at Seol Won with a triumphant face.
She had no choice but to nod her head.
Although she couldn’t understand his intentions, Kwon Chae Ha was always a difficult person to read.
There was no way to stop him anyway, now that it was known that Uju was his son.
However, a sense of unease suddenly welled up in her heart, making her question whether her decision had been too hasty.
She had thought that even if Kwon Chae Ha found out that Woo Joo was his child, he would remain indifferent.
Once the agreed period ended, she thought she would send him and Woo Joo away without any lingering feelings.
Yet, his current attitude was completely different from what Min Seol Won had expected.
“What are you thinking about so deeply?”
“…Nothing.”
Seol Won quickly averted her gaze to Woo Joo, who was snuggled next to Chae Ha and smiling brightly.
She couldn’t believe that Woo Joo would choose to be beside such a cold and indifferent person like Chae Ha….
With only three months left before they had to return to the island, it would be problematic if they developed any feelings.
“Woo Joo, stop bothering him and come to mommy’s side.”
“….”
Chae Ha looked at me with a subtle gaze, Seol Won made an effort to ignore it.
She knew very well that if she became attached, it would be more troublesome for her than for Woo Joo.
Because it was too painful to love him, she chose to pretend not to know.
Despite the mounting tension, the weekend passed relatively peacefully.
During the day, thanks to the maid, she didn’t have to lift a finger for any minor chores.
In the past, she had to share half of the chores because Heo Young Joo was always hinting at her to help, even though she was playing at home.
Now that they were living separately, this was Chae Ha’s house entirely, and she didn’t have to worry about that.
However, another tricky situation arose.
Chae Ha, who usually lived in the office even on weekends, for some reason, was lazing around the house all weekend.
Looking up children’s room interior designs or reading parenting magazines that didn’t suit him at all.
Feeling awkward, Seol Won went downstairs to the first floor while Woo Joo was napping.
“It’s warm.”
Seeing the bright sunlight pouring in through the living room windows, her heart finally relaxed a bit.
This window, which provided a full view of the garden, had always been Seol Won’s favorite place.
Whenever she felt trapped alone in a big castle, she would stare out of this window.
It felt like it made her breathe a little easier.
While looking beyond the window, Seol Won suddenly noticed many empty spots in the garden.
Due to her leaving everything as it was, the places where the plants had withered were left vacant.
Seeing that, she suddenly felt the desire to tend to the garden.
She had cared for flowers on the island, but having her own garden felt different.
Moreover, this house’s garden was a very special place for Seol Won.
The first garden that Chae Ha prepared for her when she moved into the Cha household was half trampled by Heo Young Joo and half papered with flowers that she liked.
So, this new garden, which appeared after they separated, could truly be considered her space.
The only place of rest, the only comfort in her lonely house.
“Should I plant some flowers….”
With a decided mind, Seol Won stepped outside, intending to at least tidy up a bit.
Being alone this time, she was able to take a closer look at the garden.
There had been remarkably no change. Except for one thing.
Seol Won’s gaze suddenly shifted to the small outbuilding at the far end of the yard.
‘Don’t worry about that.’
‘Don’t even go in.’
The words were delivered in a familiar indifferent tone, but somehow, from Chae Ha, who spat them out, a subtly different energy was felt.
The firmly closed door seemed as if it was hiding something important.
“……”
For a moment, Seol Won hesitated.
It had been less than two days since she had resolved not to step into Chae Ha’s world, but her curiosity was starting to bubble up now that she had relaxed a bit.
It was strange. Seol Won had never defied his words before.
However, that building, standing boldly inside the garden she had tended, somehow kept bothering her.
‘Should I take a quick peek…….’
With that decision, Seol Won glanced inside the house through the exterior window.
There was no sign of anyone in the living room. It seemed like there would be no other time to check.
Moving stealthily so as to make no sound, Seol Won approached.
But, as expected, the door was firmly locked.
“It’s locked……”
“So, are you disappointed?”
“Eek……!”
Surprised, Seol Won stepped back, but soon bumped her head.
Irritatingly, the place she bumped into was again Chae Ha’s firm chest.
“Why are you out here alone?”
He was expected to be angry, but he looked down at her with a slight smile.
“Ah, I’m sorry. I just wanted to do a bit of gardening……”
“Why would you be sorry? It’s your house. I came out to help because it seemed like you needed it.”
Responding calmly, Chae Ha pointed to the gardening box placed in the corner of the outbuilding with his eyes.
Feeling as if she had committed a sin, Seol Won hurriedly tried to pull herself away.
Suddenly, Chae Ha swung her body around and pulled her against his chest.
Caught by surprise in his embrace, Seol Won’s eyes widened.
“……Mr. Kwon Chae Ha?”
“Thank you. For being alive……”
“……Yes?”
The heartbeats coming from his chest against hers quickened.
Just as she tried to pull away from him, realizing that they were too close, Chae Ha’s trembling voice fell from above her head.
“I’m grateful that you’re alive…… It’s a relief. Truly, it’s a relief, Min Seol Won.”

“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.

The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
