They stroked his hair that was soft as cotton and stretched his plump, fair cheeks, continuing to exclaim “Wow! Wonderful!”
“He’s exactly like his mom and dad!”
“How can he resemble both of you so perfectly, you must be very happy.”
“Ah, yes……”
Seol Won, feeling awkward, couldn’t even dare to look at Chae Ha standing behind her.
It seemed they recognized him as her son immediately, and it wasn’t something she needed to hide in the first place.
Then, it happened.
Whether inspired by the presence of the child or not, Lora chuckled, something evidently popping into her mind.
“But, Miss Seol Won. Did you use the wedding gift we gave you back then?”
“……Pardon?”
“Why, the pinkwrapped lace……Eh!”
James’ eyes went round with surprise at the sudden large piece of rice cake that entered his mouth.
“Ah…… Hahaha. This rice cake is really delicious. James loves rice cakes.”
However, Lora seemed unfazed by Seol Won’s diversionary tactic.
She raised the intensity of her speech, switching her focus to Chae Ha.
“How was it? The gift we gave. Chae Ha, you must have been really surprised.”
“……!”
This time, Seol Won’s mouth opened wide, even without biting into the rice cake.
Given their memory skills, the gift was too dangerous an item to simply be marveled at.
Lost as to how to handle it, Chae Ha began to descend the stairs one step at a time.
He then responded to their questions with a very gentlemanly smile.
“Yes. I was really freaked out.”
“Oh my god! I knew it!”
“See, James. Didn’t I tell you that gift was the best? Ho ho.”
Alternately looking at the two people who were too delighted, and Chae Ha with an unreadable expression, Seol Won finally dropped her hands.
The situation was already beyond repair.
After Laura and James left, Woo Joo fell asleep early.
He must have been exhausted from running around with the two hightension individuals.
Looking at the child’s face wistfully, Seol Won recalled Chae Ha’s demeanor earlier.
She had thought he didn’t like mingling with others, but surprisingly, he got along naturally with Laura and James.
James chattered away about how he thought a Hollywood actor had come to the flower shop when Chae Ha first visited.
Laura also expressed her regret about not being able to see their yettohappen wedding.
The unexpected one was Chae Ha.
As the topic naturally shifted to flowers, he asked Seol Won why she liked flowers.
He remarked that he hadn’t heard the story yet even though his wife was a florist.
Of course. He couldn’t have heard it as he had never asked.
There was no reason for her not to answer, so Seol Won told him about why she came to love flowers.
There was a big field where her parents had first met and established their family, and many wildflowers bloomed there.
So, naturally, there were always flowers in the picture of her happy family.
‘So, your favorite flower would be chrysanthemums, right?’
‘Yes, that’s right.’
Since she always planted chrysanthemums all over the garden, even Chae Ha could not have missed this.
Then Laura, seeming curious, asked Chae Ha what kind of flower he liked.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he said ‘baby’s breath’.
“Are you still awake?”
After stroking the sleeping Woo Joo’s soft cheek once, Seol Won checked the clock on the wall.
After all, he had invited the two of them for her, so she wanted to express her thanks.
Knock knock, as she knocked, instead of a reply, the door swung open.
Chae Ha, leaning on one arm in the opened door, gently looked down at Seol Won.
Her breath hitched under his gaze, and Seol Won quickly opened her mouth.
“Mr. Kwon Chae Ha.”
“There’s no need to knock every time you come into the room. I told you, this is our room.”
“But still…….”
“And don’t always call me ‘Mr. Kwon Chae Ha’ so stiffly. I told you, you used to call my name very affectionately.”
“I don’t remember doing that…….”
Seol Won, who was trying to make an excuse, faltered for a moment.
Having met Laura and James, I was so taken aback by my joy that I forgot to greet them, oblivious to my memory loss.
Yet, Chae Ha didn’t seem to mind that much.
“It’s okay. I know you’ve only forgotten me from your memory. I guess there’s nothing I can do if my wife can’t remember me. I need to make more of an effort.”
“……”
“What do you need? If you don’t have a specific reason, you’re still welcome.”
Seol Won struggled to find words, but she felt she had to say something, so she rushed to express her purpose.
“Thank you for today. I didn’t know you’d call Laura and James. Thanks to you, I met people I was happy to see after a long time.”
“No big deal, if it’s for you.”
“Well then… rest.”
“Did you come into the room just to say that?”
Just as Seol Won seemed about to leave, Chae Ha quickly grabbed her wrist.
His gaze was more smug than intense.
“Why… do you look at me that way?”
“I’m curious.”
“What? About what?”
“The wedding gift. The one Laura and James gave you.”
“……!”
Seol Won closed her mouth tightly, and with her wrist still in his grip, Chae Ha stepped a bit closer.
Their distance was now close enough to touch any moment.
He tilted his head slightly, making eye contact with her and asked again.
“What on earth is that gift? The one that’s wrapped in pink lace, the one that you said would drive me crazy?”
“Well, I don’t know. It’s something I can’t remember.”
“Really? Despite having no memory of it, why did you hurriedly stuff rice cake into James’s mouth?”
“That’s because… I suddenly remembered that James likes rice cakes…”
“Hmm. Surprisingly good memory for someone who has forgotten about her own wedding.”
“……”
Feeling trapped, Seol Won couldn’t even contemplate escape.
Like a lion delighted to have captured delicious prey, he slowly licked his lips.
“Your reaction makes me even more curious. I doubt you’d have thrown away the wedding gift. Shall we find it together?”
“Find it together?”
“It’s too much of a waste to leave it to rot. In my opinion, it was quite a risqué gift.”
His hand, which had been holding her wrist, had somehow made its way up her arm and onto her shoulder.
Then he lightly brushed aside her long hair that had been flowing over her shoulder.
Her white and tender skin was left defenselessly exposed to his gaze.
Soon, a suppressed voice emerged from deep within his throat.
This time, it was a clear intensity rather than a smugness.
“How about we use that gift tonight.”

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
