“There’s no other choice then. I’ll have to try harder to make our relationship memorable. So, what I’m saying is”
“Yes? Ah……!”
Just as Seol Won was about to flinch from the tickling sensation.
Chae Ha turned her around to face him, lifting her chin slightly to meet her eyes.
His gaze landed on Seol Won’s cheeks, which were surely still flushed.
After a moment of staring, Chae Ha murmured in a languid voice.
“Actually, I came in here to seduce you.”
“Seduce……?”
“Yes, seduce.”
His expression as he replied was indeed irresistibly seductive.
A smile playing on his lips, he broached the main subject.
“Min Seol Won. How about we share a room from now on?”
“……Didn’t we talk about this? Woo Joo……”
“Woo Joo promised me that he’d be okay alone if he had his glowinthedark stars.”
“But……”
Ignoring Seol Won’s attempt to find another excuse with a troubled look, Chae Ha didn’t give her a chance.
“What are you hesitating for? I told you. We used to sleep together every night. Right next to each other.”
“……”
“I’m your husband, and you’re my wife. Isn’t it normal for a married couple to share a bed?”
Seol Won’s eyes, which had been rolling here and there, finally fixed on Chae Ha.
Then he smiled even wider, his smile full of implications.
Overwhelmed by his seeming naturalness, she found herself out of further excuses.
“And.”
In due time, an incredible statement flowed from his lips.
“Especially when the two are in love.”
On the way back, perhaps tired, Woo Joo fell asleep in the backseat as soon as he got in the car.
Meanwhile, Seol Won, sitting in the passenger seat, was lost in thought.
‘In love with each other.’
That’s how he had described their relationship.
Love… Did that word really fit between them?
During the softly snowing winter.
Although they had shared a heated bed, she had never considered their act to contain love.
Therefore, the words thrown by Chae Ha caused a great ripple in Seol Won’s heart.
If what she could share with him was love, how wonderful it would be.
If they could be an ordinary couple sharing their hearts.
However…
‘Pull yourself together, Min Seol Won.’
Seol Won shook her head from side to side.
She was reminded of Heo Yeong Joo and Baek Sa Ra, whom she had encountered as soon as she returned here.
They would never allow her to stay by Chae Ha’s side.
Given how bitterly they had treated her in the past, she couldn’t be more cautious now.
Now Woo Joo was with her as well.
She had a duty to protect the child who was more precious to her than anything in the world.
Exactly three months later, her long contract marriage with Kwon Chae Ha would finally come to an end.
There would come a day when she would forget him before she died.
Even if she couldn’t forget, she could somehow manage to live on.
The truth of the world, that out of sight is out of mind, wouldn’t pass by Seol Won either.
“What are you thinking so hard about? You look gloomy.”
“Mr. Kwon Chae Ha.”
At her dry tone clearly expressing distance, Chae Ha glanced at her through the rearview mirror.
Struggling not to meet his gaze, Seol Won forced out the words.
“Let me be clear once again, Woo Joo and I will leave as promised after three months.”
“Is that your response to the temptation I mentioned earlier?”
“After hearing from… Mr. Jae Yoon who you are, after hearing that you are my husband and Woo Joo’s father, I looked up a bit.”
“What do you mean?”
“I saw it in an article. You’re about to marry Baek Sa Ra, the youngest daughter of Baek Yeong Group…”
“Min Seol Won.”
His voice, devoid of any modulation, revealed nothing but raging anger.
Chae Ha bit his lip as his knuckles turned white on the steering wheel.
“Why are you listed on my family register as my wife if I’m supposedly getting married to someone else? What do you think today’s wedding photoshoot was for?”
“Kwon Chae Ha, sir.”
“I must have told you. I, Kwon Chae Ha, will do everything for you, Min Seol Won. All you need to do is remember. That’s all.”
Chae Ha landed his final blow, leaving Seol Won unable to respond.
“On this occasion, I should add Woo Joo to the family register. I’ve been wanting to do this immediately, but I’ve been patient. However, since you seem to be only thinking about running away from me, I guess I need to think about how to tie the two of you together.”
“…”
“Min Seol Won. You are mine. You can’t run away anymore.”
Why did her eyes well up with tears at his words, which were full of possessiveness? Seol Won turned her gaze to the window.
If she could really stay by his side, she wouldn’t need to be so distressed.
That evening, as soon as they returned home, Chae Ha prominently displayed the family photo they took with Woo Joo in the middle of the living room.
To anyone who looked, they were a couple, and the three of them were a family.
Looking at the happy smile in the photo as if it was unfamiliar, Seol Won felt a sting in her heart.
Because she, more than anyone else, desperately wanted the smile, the happiness in this photo.
“Secretary Jung. Long time no see. How have you been?”
[Isn’t this our Vice President? I’ve heard the rumors. I was actually going to visit you soon. They said the young lady returned, I couldn’t just sit still.]
“You’re always welcome. However, there is some information you should bring when you come.”
[I’m not as good at gathering information as I used to be.]
“No. You, Secretary Jung, are the most suitable person. Please investigate the movements of our mother and Baek Sa Ra from 5 years ago.”
[Your mother and Baek Sa Ra from Baek Young Group?]
“Yes. Please thoroughly investigate even the smallest things.”
After hanging up the phone, Chae Ha let out a long sigh on the bed alone.
His wife, Min Seol Won, who has always been cautious and kept a distance from him.
Min Seol Won, who clearly remembers everything but clumsily pretends not to.
Investigating her background seemed to be the most urgent thing right now.
To open the tightly closed door to her heart.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
