“Duty of a couple….”
Chae Ha’s words were softly echoed by Seol Won.
Despite her intent not to pay attention, her gaze was drawn to his lips resting on the back of her hand.
Surely by the duty of a couple, he couldn’t possibly mean….
“What are you talking about, coming all the way here?”
“Hmm. What does it matter where we are? It’s just you and me now.”
“Even so….”
“You came to a couple’s party with your husband and let him be the only one wearing a wedding ring, isn’t that too cruel?”
“Well….”
Hearing this, Seol Won’s eyes shook violently in the air.
“My original plan was to come here and announce to the world that you are my wife. But my careless wife didn’t even wear her ring.”
“….”
Contrary to Seol Won’s trembling eyes, his eyes were burning with a peculiar desire.
Soon, Chae Ha pulled her waist tightly towards him.
“Why, why are you doing this?”
A flustered Seol Won struggled to pull her hand from his grip.
But the hand adorned with the ring could not escape from his grasp at all.
“You’re even cuter when you’re flustered. You have no idea how insanely lovable you are right now, do you?”
Chae Ha’s directness amplified Seol Won’s flustered state.
She had never heard anyone call her lovable before.
While she was at a loss for words, he gently lifted her hand like a feather.
Following her raised hand, Chae Ha’s gaze also rose towards her.
As he gazed at the surprised Seol Won blinking her eyes, Chae Ha softly whispered.
“I was thinking of making a ring, in my own way.”
As soon as his whisper ended, Chae Ha’s lips landed on Seol Won’s finger.
“….!”
Seol Won watched the scene as if hypnotized, disbelief in her eyes.
His soft lips slowly moved, brushing each of her slender fingers.
Eventually, his lips halted on the particularly tender fourth finger of hers.
Indeed, no kiss could have been more intense than this.
With his warm breath, a red and deep ring mark appeared on her empty finger.
Could it be because of the lavish chandelier, the elegant dress, the pleasant aroma that filled the party venue?
She could not believe that the sincerity imprinted on her finger was a lie or an act.
She hadn’t taken a sip of champagne, but Seol Won already felt intoxicated.
All because of a man who so openly expressed his desire to possess her.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Are you also here to chime in on your mother?”
The evening after the party.
Upon the sudden arrival of Chae Ha, Hyeong Joo snorted even louder.
She had already had an earful from Chairman Kwon Kang Ho.
And it seemed as if the second round was about to begin.
It was probably more than her husband, to her son who could not be worse off.
“Do you realize what you’ve done wrong? To the extent of lying about an issue arising with the ancestors’ estate, of all things.”
“Yes! I sold our ancestors short! So what? Don’t you know it was all for you, Chae Ha?”
“Sigh…”
Chae Ha let out a long sigh towards his mother, who was openly expressing her disdain towards me.
If he hadn’t married Seol Won, I could somewhat understand his obsession with Baek Sa Ra.
After all, I was aware of his mother Huh Young Joo’s inherent lack of affection and compensatory feelings due to her son.
But the situation had completely changed, and as her child, he couldn’t understand her, who just wouldn’t accept that.
“I’d like to seriously ask. Why are you trying to separate a perfectly fine couple?”
“What?”
“It’s been a whopping 8 years since Min Seol Won and I got married. Mother. Yet, why can’t you give up?”
“You, you……”
Huh Young Joo’s eyes glared with longheld anger.
She couldn’t hold back anymore and started to vent her anger.
“Yes! You’ve said something right. You don’t love that woman! Have you ever cared for her in the three years since your marriage? Being in the same room doesn’t make you a couple! Do you think I wouldn’t know whether there’s affection or not?”
“……”
“And another thing! You were fine even after she died! Have you ever shed a tear over your wife’s death? All you knew for five years was work!”
“……Mother.”
At Chae Ha’s deep voice, Huh Young Joo involuntarily closed her mouth.
His somber gaze, as he roughly raked his forehead, seemed to pierce through Huh Young Joo.
That gaze held no trace of politeness or sympathy towards his mother.
“Sure enough, you know nothing about your children. Well, that’s why you treated my brother the same way.”
“What… what?”
Huh Young Joo’s eyes, struck by a huge blow, widened in shock.
With an expression asking how he could say such a thing, she merely moved her trembling lips.
“If you had listened to my brother Tae Ha’s sincerity even once, that tragedy wouldn’t have happened.”
“Hey! Kwon Chae Ha!”
Huh Young Joo, unable to hold back, finally shouted.
She waved her arms wildly in the air, as if she had lost half her sanity.
“Do you want to say that Tae Ha died because of me? Huh?”
“I never said that.”
“That’s what you mean! How could you say such a thing to me? Tae Ha became like that because of that lowly girl! Because of that wicked woman…!”
“What’s all this commotion!”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
