His acceptance of her decision was unexpected.
Surprised, Chae-Yoon looked at Ji-Pil with widened eyes. Meeting her gaze, Ji-Pil smiled kindly.
“You’ve been through a lot. Now, live life the way you want.”
His expression conveyed unwavering support, regardless of what she chose to do.
Chae-Yoon’s eyes blinked confusedly.
‘Is that all he has to say?’
Ji-Pil, rather than reprimanding Chae-Yoon for her behavior that led to the photo or mentioning anything about Hyun-Min, remained silent. Wondering if Ji-Pil hadn’t heard from Jae-O, Chae-Yoon nervously asked, “Did you hear anything from my brother…?”
Ji-Pil had suspected something when Chae-Yoon entered, apologizing and crying, but her question confirmed it. Chae-Yoon had told Jae-O that she was in a relationship with the man in the photo. Yet, Ji-Pil had no intention of scolding her or probing about how things turned out that way.
“What are you talking about?”
Feigning ignorance, Ji-Pil prompted Chae-Yoon to continue.
“I…”
“Chae-Yoon.”
Interrupting her, Ji-Pil spoke with the same warm smile from earlier.
“People’s hearts don’t always follow their will. Why else would problems arise?”
“…”
“You’ve done enough.”
‘Done enough? Does he know…?’
“Did you know?”
“How could I not, when your eyes always followed Jae-O?”
Since Ji-Pil learned about Chae-Yoon’s feelings for Jae-O, he noticed her gaze always followed Jae-O. Over time, her looks became less frequent and turned bittersweet, culminating in talk of divorce. The man in the photo was a recent acquaintance, but Ji-Pil sensed Chae-Yoon’s weariness long before. He felt no need to reproach her.
In fact, he thought it was for the best. Chae-Yoon, in her prime, shouldn’t waste her life in a meaningless marriage, always looking at the back of an indifferent man.
Feeling sorry for holding her back because of his grandson, Ji-Pil respected her choice.
“So, stop worrying and start living life as you wish. Meet someone nice.”
Hearing this, Chae-Yoon realized Ji-Pil knew everything.
‘And still…’
Feeling grateful and apologetic, tears filled her eyes again.
“I’m sorry, Grandfather.”
With only those words to offer, Chae-Yoon cried again in front of Ji-Pil.
[Star Icon]Meanwhile, Jae-O, left alone in the conference room after Chae-Yoon’s departure, remained motionless for a while.
[Dash]”I’m not in that kind of relationship with Manager Lim.”
He had expected her to deny it to the end. But in the end, Chae-Yoon admitted it.
Initially, Jae-O suspected they were in a relationship. But when Chae-Yoon confirmed it, he felt as if he’d been doused with ice water. The relief he felt at her initial denial vanished, engulfed by overwhelming anger and betrayal.
Unable to think rationally, Jae-O pressed his temples, trying to alleviate the throbbing headache.
“Sigh…”
Exhaling a heavy breath, he tried to clear his troubled mind, but to no avail.
He couldn’t understand why he felt so betrayed and angry.
‘I’m just a nominal husband, so why am I this upset…’
Confused and overwhelmed by emot
“Ah, why am I like this? Really.”
Caught in a whirlwind of unrelenting emotions, Jae-O pondered whether he had truly trusted Chae-Yoon to this extent. Otherwise, how could he explain feeling such profound betrayal?
Struggling with these inexplicable changes in his emotions, Jae-O found himself contemplating about Chae-Yoon for the first time.
‘Song Chae-Yoon.’
Mulling over her name, his gaze deepened.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
