Her attitude was certainly different from when they had met at the mall. It didn’t seem to be because of their past relationship, but rather because she had clearly learned during dinner that he was Min Woo’s rival. After all, she was on Min Woo’s side.
Although they were technically cousins, there was always an invisible wall between Je Ho and Min Woo. As time passed, the wall thickened and prickly thorns sprouted. At some point, the thorns became sturdy and sharp enough to pierce each other. Eventually, one of them would bleed from a pierced heart.
It was an inevitable fate she tried to avoid.
Everything had gone too far to turn back now.
“Hmm.”
Je Ho smirked as he watched Yul Li recede into the distance.
((()))((()))((()))
“Yul Li, didn’t you say you were going to the Arcadia Mall today?”
As Yul Li entered the hallway, it seemed like Lady An had been waiting for her. She had seen the news but hadn’t bothered to confirm by phone like Hyun Kyung. However, she didn’t seem upset. After all, her relationship with Lady An was just that.
They treated each other politely, but it was neither more nor less than that. A tolerable coexistence between a former daughter and a new mother.
Of course, their relationship wasn’t like that from the start. There was a time when they were very close. They confided in each other, leaned on and relied on each other. It was not much different from any motherdaughter relationship until the twisted lie revealed its true face…
“Yes, I had planned to meet a wedding planner there.”
While taking off her shoes, Yul Li responded calmly.
“The news said there was a riot. Were you there at the time?”
“Yes.”
“Did you get hurt?”
As if worried, Lady An’s voice trembled slightly. Whether it was truly out of concern or a learned response, Yul Li didn’t know. Frankly, she didn’t want to know. Whether she was genuinely worried or not, it didn’t matter.
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“Phew, that’s a relief.”
Lady An let out a sigh of relief and stroked her chest. To an outsider, it would seem like she was genuinely relieved. Her acting was that good.
With her excellent acting, she deceived my mother, deceived me, deceived everyone.
In the blink of an eye, she went from being an aide to the lover of Congressman Chae, and eventually took over as his wife.
After learning about the secret relationship between her father and Lady An, Yul Li had cried tears of betrayal. But now, it didn’t bother her anymore. Her eyes were too dry to even cry. Yul Li blinked slowly, feeling the dryness in her eyes.
“The Congressman heard about it and was worried, so he called.”
The Congressman was currently attending an emergency National Assembly plenary session and hadn’t been able to return home for several days. He would be able to return home only after the plenary session ended. He probably hadn’t seen the news himself, but was likely informed by his aides.
I wonder if father was shocked when he heard the news? Or did he just pretend to be shocked?
With a bitter smile, Yul Li neatly arranged the shoes she had taken off.
“But what about Min Woo? Isn’t he responsible for the mall?”
As Yul Li walked past the living room, Yuri, who was watching TV, asked nonchalantly. Yul Li stopped and turned her head, and her 3yearold toddler sister, Yuri, gave her a big smile. However, Yul Li couldn’t smile back.
“He’ll handle it well.”
“That’s good. It’d be bad if a scandal broke out before the wedding.”
“Yeah.”
Yul Li gave a brief reply and started moving towards the stairs. Today had been longer than usual, and a lot had happened. She didn’t have the energy to deal with Yuri right now. Dealing with Yuri required a great deal of patience.
There was a time when her sister was more precious than anyone in the world, but not anymore. The day their mother left this world, Yul Li had promised to look after Yuri as an older sister. But the day Yul Li learned the secret of Yuri’s birth as a halfsister, that promise turned into a piece of trash.
Yul Li understood that it was not Yuri’s fault. Yuri hadn’t chosen to be born this way, nor did she choose her parents.
She didn’t hate her sister either. But she couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable about Yuri’s existence as a child born out of wedlock. Occasionally, she resented their mother, who had left for the heavens without saying a word.
The incident at the shopping mall, the unexpected reunion with Je Ho, the suffocating dinner, and many other things made this day even more so.
But she shouldn’t blame anyone. The one who was hurt the most must have been their mother.
Upon arriving at her room, Yul Li headed towards the bathroom, rubbing her dry eyes with the back of her hand. A strange piece of clothing hung on the bathroom wall caught her eye as she walked towards the sink. It was the jacket that Je Ho had put on her at the mall.

really disliked him
