The Bad Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
After returning home from the nursing home, Tae Eun took a shower. Then, purely by chance, as she sat at her vanity to do her skincare, she turned her eyes toward a message alert and read Seo Woo’s text.
The message that popped up on Woo Jin’s unguarded phone pierced sharply into her vision.
-“Oppa, are you doing well? I miss you.”
Though Seo Woo’s name and the message briefly flickered before vanishing again into the darkness, Tae Eun found herself frozen in place.
Even though all misunderstandings about Seo Woo had been resolved, Seo Woo was still far from someone Tae Eun welcomed. Especially not when she sent messages to Woo Jin so casually like this.
Did that mean the two of them were still exchanging messages, despite claiming they were nothing to each other? Or perhaps it was precisely because they were nothing that such messages were even possible.
Yet without realizing it, Tae Eun reached out toward Woo Jin’s phone.
Woo Jin had always left his phone unlocked and exposed in front of her. Thus, even if she didn’t want to know, she could easily unlock his phone—and reading their exchanged messages was no difficult task.
The moment she lifted his phone and brought it before her eyes, she flinched in surprise at the reflection staring back from the black screen. Her eyes, usually calm, now blazed with an uncharacteristically fierce sharpness.
Startled, she looked up at her own reflection in the vanity mirror. It felt as though she were facing a stranger. Though she firmly believed she trusted Woo Jin without a doubt, the woman in the mirror radiated suspicion, as if still questioning everything.
Only then, confronted with her true self, did Tae Eun jump in alarm and quickly set Woo Jin’s phone down.
“Why am I…?”
She couldn’t believe it. She’d become the kind of wife who snoops through her husband’s phone.
Shocked by this ugly side of herself, she closed her eyes for a moment, as if dazed.
-“Never again… I’ll never do something like this again.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
