“Eunjo, it’s okay… Calm down.”
Jaeha, who held Daonie in one arm, reached out with the other.
After a brief moment of surprise, he already had a calm and gentle expression.
Ha… When the blocked breath opened, and the stiffened body began to loosen,
“Uncle! Huaaah— I missed you.”
Daonie, clinging tightly to Jaeha’s neck, burst into tears.
“Yeah, my little buddy. I missed you too.”
“…”
“I’ve been curious if you’re doing well… I wanted to see you a lot.”
It’s sincere… I wanted to see you. Jaeha’s gaze, gently comforting the child, didn’t realize it would stray from Eunjo.
“Why— Huaaah, why didn’t you say anything and moved? Uwaaah.”
“Sorry. I was wrong. Stop crying, okay?”
A large hand gently patted the child’s back.
Whimpering and clinging even more to Jaeha, the child expressed longing, regret, and love with his whole body.
How much of my emotions should I show, and how will the other person react? Instead of considering and hesitating, there was no hesitation at all.
Eunjo envied such a child.
All the thoughts she had over the past 10 hours were useless.
Still…
Eunjo’s sharp gaze, which had been rising, turned toward the woman who approached Jaeha.
This time, it wasn’t a blonde but an Asian woman.
“Oh, this way…”
“Wow! You’re Daonie! Much cuter than in the pictures!”
Than in the pictures?? Now Eunjo’s eyes couldn’t get any bigger, and they even had a fierce gleam.
Resentment resurfaced in her heart, trying to soften slightly. It was inevitable. She bit her lip, seemingly determined not to speak first.
Jaeha’s eyes, full of tenderness, were caressing Eunjo.
“…Eunjo, this is Ms. Park Sang-ah, who works with us.”
“Hello, I’m Park Sang-ah.”
Park Sang-ah, with a childlike face, extended her hand to Eunjo. Her gentle expression resembled that of a teacher.
“I’m Yoon Eunjo. By the way, I have no relationship with Kwon Jaeha, not a thing.”
With a courteous greeting and unnecessary remarks, Eunjo briefly held and then released Park Sang-ah’s hand.
And with a surprised expression, she sent a warm gaze to a bewildered Jaeha. Not a thing? He surely hasn’t forgotten, right? Hmph.
So, about three minutes passed with Eunjo’s spirited expression.
“Uncle, I missed you so much.”
Whether the tears had subsided or not, Daonie started again.
As if telling Jaeha alone, the whispers to his ear were clearly audible.
“Yoon Daon, stop it. Come down now.”
Is ‘stop it’ the phrase used in this situation? Whenever Daonie sincerely confessed his longing, Eunjo felt her cheeks burn.
“It’s okay, it’s not heavy at all.”
Daonie’s little arms visibly gained strength at Jaeha’s affectionate voice. The boy now treated Eunjo as if she were a nonexistent person.
“Daonie, you should go to Mom now.”
“I’m going to live with Uncle!! I don’t like babies! I don’t need a little brother!!”
“…!”
“I hate Mom! Uwaaah.”
Surprised Eunjo covered her mouth with her hand, but—
“You got a little brother? I’m jealous! Aww, so cute!”
Unaware, thanks to the sharp remark from Park Sang-ah, cold sweat broke out.
“Daonie is so cute, Jaeha, he wants to live together right away! Oh, what’s with that expression?”
“…Well, I’d like to live together a hundred, a thousand times more.”
“Really?”
Daonie, with sparkling eyes, asked while bouncing.
“…Yeah, really.”
Jaeha’s eyes looking at Eunjo contained a profound sincerity.
Oh my. What on earth is this situation? What are the two adults doing with a child in between?
Eunjo wiped her heated forehead with the back of her hand.
“I’ll bring some refreshing drinks and cake.”
Park Sang-ah tactfully moved away from her seat. Watching her retreating figure, Eunjo swallowed her dry saliva.
It’s true that her throat felt parched.
Unaware, Jaeha, who didn’t know anything, gently put sobbing Daonie back on the floor and embraced him tightly.
“But why do you dislike babies? If you have a little brother, Daonie, you should bravely protect him, right?”
“I don’t like it! I hate twinkles and cleverness too! Mom thinks about the baby every day, and now Daonie is…”
“Oh, baby! Daonie, come here. Come to Mom, okay?”
“…I heard that Mom is pregnant.”
Jaeha, wiping Daonie’s tears, cautiously spoke.
“What? What did you hear?”
“Choi Seon-woo. I met him by chance a while ago.”
“…!”
Eunjo took a deep breath and scanned her surroundings. She wanted to sit down; her legs wanted some relief. Or maybe she should just leave the store now.
“Daonie, shall we go to Auntie now?”
No[대쉬]no[대쉬] Daonie firmly shook his head.
It’s awkward. She had planned to announce the pregnancy calmly and calmly[대쉬] but like this…
“Daonie, shall we go to Auntie now?”
No[대쉬]no[대쉬] Daonie firmly shook his head.

“That… I didn’t know that we’re coming here for dinner with Jenice, ah, didn’t you know that? I thought Jenice informed you…”
“…”
Slowly standing up by unfolding his crossed knees, Jaeha sighed.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
