“How was the atmosphere?”
Woo-jin asked Director Park, who came down after delivering the gift. In response, Director Park turned around and opened his mouth.
“Well, while I was moving the gift from the elevator to the entrance, I heard a woman’s voice shouting inside the house. I couldn’t hear what she was saying, though.”
“I see.”
As expected. He had anticipated this and confirmed the situation.
“But after delivering the gift, did the atmosphere change dramatically? Especially, did the lady there really like it?”
“I’m not interested in how others reacted. What about Min Tae-eun?”
“Miss Min Tae-eun… Well, she seemed quite surprised, unexpected, you know.”
“Did she like it?”
“Well, I can’t say for sure…”
Director Park smirked.
Haha, as expected. It was likely that she, who ran away without answering the marriage proposal, was not pleased with his actions. So, this behavior of his might not sit well with her.
However, he had no regrets about his actions. If he hadn’t done this, she might have endured an unimaginably painful night.
Just by giving her a comfortable night,
“Now, go.”
“Yes, sir.”
It was well worth it.
After showering, Tae-eun sat on the bed without even thinking about drying her hair. Though her entire body felt exhausted as if it were melting away, strangely, her mind couldn’t stop thinking about the man.
She couldn’t escape from the awkward gaze of the man who had been watching her throughout the blind date at the restaurant.
“I’m not suggesting that I love Miss Min Tae-eun. It’s about getting married.”
He had said and acted so indifferently, but then he even sent a gift to her home.
The man probably had no idea what impact his actions would have. However, his kindness completely changed her harsh night. Thanks to him, Ji-eun’s fitful outbursts came to an abrupt stop.
She was grateful to have a peaceful night, but this peace felt as terrifying as a stormy eve.
Then, a knocking sound was heard.
Knock, knock.
“Yes.”
“Aren’t you asleep yet? Oh, you just took a shower, I see. Well, are you tired? You must be. You said you didn’t eat properly tonight. Still, I sent you abalone porridge, so you should eat it before going to bed.”
Ji-eun brought the abalone porridge that the man had sent. Despite Ji-eun’s voice, which sounded as if she had just crawled out from somewhere, Tae-eun nodded. It was unfamiliar and frightening kindness.
“Well, then, sleep well.”
After Ji-eun left, a silent stillness settled in, but Tae-eun felt her breath catching. She felt like she was trapped in a fragile glass castle. She had to escape before it collapsed, but she couldn’t find an exit. If she were alone, she might have collapsed and sat down on her knees.
But what about her grandmother? What about our poor grandmother?
-If we get married, there won’t be such things happening in the future. I will take responsibility for everything, including your grandmother, of course.
Although it was daytime, the man’s confident voice echoed like a charm. Perhaps the man could be the only unique escape route. The brief moment of peace he brought was incredibly sweet. It was irresistible, to the point where she couldn’t resist the temptation.
Of course, there was undoubtedly a risk. A loveless marriage. And infertility.
However, she couldn’t avoid contemplating the fear of the hell that might come at the end of this uneasy peace. The contemplation could only be put to rest when the faint dawn of a new day arrived.
Even this short-lived peace was enough for her to want to put an end to a life where she couldn’t fully enjoy it. And the solution to this complex and challenging problem was right in front of her.
In the end, she decided to take the man’s hand.
In the thought that any other option would be better than the current situation.
There was contact from Min Tae-eun. Despite expecting it to take a bit longer since it seemed impenetrable, the woman’s judgment was surprisingly quick.
It was a fortunate event for Woo-jin. He needed to redirect the attention of reporters, still keen on Park Seo-woo and his subsequent actions, to his marriage as quickly as possible. However, strangely, another reason to hasten the marriage unexpectedly emerged.
After hearing Director Park’s words yesterday, he had him investigate a bit more. The information received in the morning slightly raised his blood pressure.
There was a record of Tae-eun staying in an orphanage for a month, albeit briefly. She was six years old, and her biological mother had passed away not long ago. With just this short line of history, Woo-jin could guess a story.
“You… abandoned your own daughter?”
Only now did he understand why the grandmother had taken care of her for a while. The more he thought about it, the more stunned he became, and he couldn’t delve any further into her history. With just a few sheets of paper, he couldn’t accurately summarize her life, but he knew enough about how difficult it must have been.
Could he abandon his daughter once again?
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
