“Why?”
Yeonju said with a bitter expression,
“Just… How much did she want a child to tell such a lie.”
Reading regret in her eyes, Jinwook said coldly,
“Don’t try to understand that woman.”
“…”
“She’s just a crazy person. A dangerous woman with absurd thoughts.”
Considering what she had planned to do to Yeonju, one couldn’t possibly feel sorry for her.
Jinwook sternly warned Yeonju, hoping she would never cross paths with that woman.
“So, don’t get involved in any more trouble from now on.”
Slightly taken aback by the stern warning, Yeonju nodded.
“I understand. I didn’t like running into her anyway.”
“Then that’s good.”
Jinwook reached out and wrapped his arm around Yeonju’s waist. Gently pulling her towards him, he seated Yeonju on one of his legs, finally facing her as their eyes met.
“Now, stop thinking about that woman. You’ll unnecessarily get depressed, even with radishes.”
“Even if she wasn’t someone I liked, hearing about the divorce doesn’t make me feel good. After all, we were still a family.”
“So, how can I make my wife feel better?”
Jinwook, with affectionate eyes, embraced her waist.
“I do know one definite way to improve your mood.”
Sensations of warmth were felt at the touch of his caressing fingertips. Jinwook, who had been gazing tenderly at Yeonju, briefly lowered his gaze towards her belly and, with a hint of regret, said,
“It’s really because of this little one.”
Upon hearing this, Yeonju hesitated for a moment before gently suggesting,
“The doctor said it’s okay as long as it’s not too intense… so…”
“…”
“Can we give it a try?”
Facing the blushing Yeonju, Jinwook’s gaze wavered. After a moment of stiffness, he managed to control his surging desire and said,
“No. It’s been advised to avoid it until at least the 11th week.”
“…”
Yeonju widened her eyes in astonishment. It was truly unfathomable how someone with such strong restraint couldn’t hold back before pregnancy.
“But even without surprising the baby, I do know a way to make you feel good.”
“?”
With a smile, Jinwook embraced her.
“Hold on tight.”
To maintain her balance, Yeonju placed her arms around his shoulders. Jinwook’s steps unhesitatingly moved towards the bedroom.
Minhee was packing her belongings into boxes and organizing her workspace.
Watching her from a distance, the secretaries whispered to each other.
“Why is Chief Secretary suddenly quitting?”
“Yeah. Even if we don’t know about others, Chief Secretary seemed like she would stay by the CEO’s side until the end. She was the only one who endured the CEO’s personality all this time.”
“Rumors say she didn’t quit but was fired. Quitting abruptly without a proper handover doesn’t make sense.”
“No, then what could Chief Secretary have done to get fired? Where can you find a loyal person like Chief Secretary?”
“That’s right. Since she won’t answer when asked, we can’t know.”
Ignoring the secretaries’ murmurs, Minhee continued to tidy up her space.
It had been three days since she had confessed everything to Jinwook. Minhee was preparing to resign as promised. There was no regret. Instead, her heart felt lighter.
For over two years, it had been stifling and heavy as if her chest were blocked. Now, she felt like she could finally breathe properly.
Almost done with the organizing, Minhee picked up a file she had placed aside. Then, she walked towards Jinwook’s office.
Standing in front of the office, Minhee adjusted her disheveled clothes. As it could be the last time she faced Jinwook, she wanted to present herself in the most presentable manner possible.
Minhee, who took a long deep breath, knocked on the door.
Soon, Jinwook’s voice came from the office.
“Come in.”
