The Bad Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 78

“No, what on earth is going on? Really?”

As the front door opened, Hye Jin stepped in with a worried expression and wrapped Tae Eun tightly in her arms. Seeing how much thinner she’d become in just a few days, Hye Jin’s eyes welled up.

Several days had passed since the article about Woo Jin’s alleged affair broke, yet nothing had improved. People had taken that scandalous report at face value, and almost overnight, she’d transformed from the supposedly at-fault spouse into the victim.

Yet, somehow, it almost felt better when I was the one suffering. At least infertility had been the truth, and sooner or later, everyone around her would have found out anyway.

But it wasn’t the same for Woo Jin. She’d doubted him once, too, but now that all misunderstandings had cleared, she knew it was all lies. It was simply that circumstances had turned against him—it absolutely wasn’t true that he’d had an affair with Park Seo Woo.

It was sushi. But the moment Tae Eun saw the logo on the shopping bag, her eyes reddened again—the logo felt painfully familiar, stabbing straight into her heart.

It was the logo of the restaurant she and Woo Jin used to visit often. She loved their sushi so much that after their marriage, they’d gone there religiously once a month.

“Did… did Woo Jin send this?”

“Huh? Oh! Right, yeah! Why would I hide anything? Yes, Woo Jin called me. He said you haven’t been eating properly for days, so he asked me to come by and have a meal with you.”
