Her lips began to move on their own.
“……Actually, I think there’s been a misunderstanding. So, my sister Min Ah. Ah, Min Ah is my younger sister. So, my sister was driving at night. Hmm the car of all things seems to have no insurance. But…… Min Ah. Min Ah passed the civil servant exam recently……”
“What a pity.”
“Yeah…… So, if this incident might cause a problem with her appointment……”
“That won’t do.”
The words she was uttering in front of the man she was meeting for the first time in six years were just too ridiculous. The knuckles of her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes were turning white.
“But after listening to the story…… it seems like she didn’t do anything wrong. Ah, of course, the fact that someone got hurt……”
It was embarrassing. The heavy, stonelike breath barely passed, and her words choked up.
Eun Jo bit her lip hard enough to bleed.
“Eun Jo.”
“……Huh?”
“Just one word will do. Ask for help.”
“……Help, please.”
Jae Ha’s pitchblack eyes grew even darker.
Looking at her as if she were a pitiful animal, he dropped his eyelashes and tilted his head slightly towards her, as if he hadn’t heard.
“What?”
“Help me, please. I’ll…… do anything.”
“Nice to hear.”
“……Huh?”
“I like hearing pleas.”
The moment the sharp opening and closing sound of a lighter struck her ears, Eun Jo knew. She knew why he had shown up.
The gaze that reached her across the blue smoke, what was faintly layered in it was clear. It was hatred.
“You know? I’m a soft touch. Exclusively for Yoon Eun Jo.”
“……”
“But, since you said you’ll do anything. It’s enticing.”
Kwon Jae Ha looking at the woman’s face that turned red under the cold moonlight. His voice, dripping under his frosty gaze, was remarkably tender.
“Are you naive, or just pretending? Even after having a child.”
“A child? Oh, our……?”
Our? Jae Ha, who had momentarily raised the ends of his eyebrows, furrowed his brow.
At first. That is, a long time ago, he had mistakenly thought for a moment that the child might have been ‘our’ child.
Because even on that dawn when they were facing parting, it was exactly that ‘us’ that had stained the sheets with a cross of affection.
“Yes, a child.”
Tsk. Kwon Jae Ha, who lightly clicked his tongue, shook his head restlessly.
Watching his figure, Eun Jo, covering her tightly dry lips, asked.
“Don’t worry and go.”
“……”
Two entangled gazes. Due to the swirling dark blue eyes, Eun Jo couldn’t budge.
Over there Jae Ha pointed somewhere with a nod of his head.
It was Min Ah. She was leaning against a pillar near the entrance of the police station, looking in this direction.
“Ah……”
Eun Jo, exhaling a deep breath, hesitated.
“She’s waiting.”
“So, then I’ll……”
“You go.”
It was a gaze as if to say, what are you going to do about it?
“Anyway, thank you for coming. And the lawyer……”
“Go on. Let’s talk about ‘anything’ next time.”
Eun Jo, who nodded like a child, turned her body. She distanced herself just like when she arrived, fluttering in the wind like a petal.
Kwon Jae Ha, who watched her figure to the end.
Anything……. Yes, I’ll take it all.
I’ll swallow everything, even the breath you exhale.
Although the lawyer said he would handle everything, Eun Jo and Min Ah naturally headed for the hospital.
On the second day of standing vigil in the hospital room, they encountered the two nasty sons again.
For some reason, those two with their bustling eyes were keeping their mouths tightly shut.
[Korea is still a good place to live.]If you have money, that is. Only now could they accurately read what was left out at the end of that phrase.
There will be a way. Eun Jo tightly grasped Min Ah’s drooping hand.
The grandmother, who was insistent on the emergency room while saying she was dying, didn’t try to open her eyes even after moving to the VIP ward.
It was bad luck.
The gangster who ran a food truck got caught. That the grandmother, who was picking up trash at dawn, happened to pass by that place. That the grandmother had two sons who were illtempered.
“……”
“We’ve done all the tests. The results are all clear, but as long as the patient is complaining of pain, we have no choice but to observe her condition.”
The attending doctor, who provided a detailed explanation, didn’t say in his own words that the patient was faking her pain.
However, the grandmother who was crying that her waist was broken seemed to have quite a good appetite.
The VIP ward, and the special meals filled on the tray were always neatly emptied.
Eun Jo decided not to go to the hospital anymore.
Two days later.
It was an afternoon when the sun was just hiding between the buildings when she received a call from an unfamiliar number.
A man who introduced himself as ‘Edward Kang’ offered a friendly greeting.
And he conveyed notsofriendly information. That the CEO, in other words, Kwon Jae Ha, had summoned her.
[No. You don’t need to bother. 6:30 at the company’s main entrance, is that okay?] “Huh? ……Yes. I understand.”
For nearly two hours after that, her heart was beating so fast that it was hard to breathe.
She couldn’t concentrate on her work, and for some reason, the clothes she usually wore felt uncomfortable.
The blouse seemed too white and thin, as if it were seethrough, and the skirt seemed to cling particularly tightly.
.
.
6:20 PM.
Before heading down to the first floor, Eun Jo, who stopped in the bathroom, neatly tied up her hair, which waved voluminously above her lower back.
She smeared her thick lips with a pink lipstick and then blotted it with a tissue.
Now, the woman in the mirror had a bland and pale face.
[It was just bad luck. It’s definitely not your fault.]The words she kept saying to Min Ah came to mind.
Maybe.
She thought that she might really have fallen into an unlucky situation.
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…?
