After Lajin disappeared, he went to “Sodamjeong” only once with his grandson. Chairman Seo Seongjae wanted to feed Jaehun, but Jaehun followed along to ask Yunsil about Lajin’s whereabouts.
“How could I have known that? I don’t even know the person who was closest.”
After hearing Yunsil’s response, Jaehun also stopped going to “Sodamjeong” and devoted himself to finding Lajin.
“I should send some food to Jaehun.”
Even though he wouldn’t eat, he had to do something for his grandson.
As he tried to turn on his phone to make a reservation, Kim Seokcheol, the team leader, received a call [Dash].
“Yes, Secretary Jeong. Really? Is that true? Okay, wait for a moment. I’ll go right away.”
The face of Team Leader Kim Seokcheol hardened after ending the call.
“Why is that?”
“Chairman, it seems that Director Jeong didn’t attend the meeting.”
“What? Is that possible? It’s the last competition before the launch of the new product!”
“While on the way to the meeting room, he received a call from someone, asked Secretary Jung Yoon-hee to bring a tie from the office, and then disappeared. He hasn’t answered any calls, so it seems to be a difficult situation.”
Chairman Seo Seongjae immediately called Secretary Jo Cheol-woong.
“You go back and handle it quickly for now.”
“Yes, understood.”
As Team Leader Kim Seokcheol left, Jo Cheol-woong entered the office.
“Find out immediately where Jaehun went.”
Seeing Chairman Seo Seongjae urgently calling Secretary Jeong Yoon-hee, Yunsil approached him with a relaxed expression.
“Long time no see.”
“I heard Jaehun came here…!”
While Chairman Seo was urgently asking, unlike the anxious Secretary Jo Cheol-woong, Yunsil was very relaxed.
“Where is he? Has he already left? Why did he come here?!”
“The grandson looks quite like you. Quick-tempered, seemingly thorough, but also showing gaps.”
Especially for the person he loved the most.
The grandfather didn’t know his grandson well, and the grandson didn’t even know if he loved the woman I left.
“Uh, does Secretary Jeong really come here?”
“It’s unlikely. If she did, would the undercover agents I placed near the store leave her alone?”
“Oh, that’s…”
Seeing Chairman Seo Seongjae’s troubled expression, Yunsil chuckled.
“That’s what happens. It would have been better to do well when she was here.”
“… That’s true. Why didn’t I realize it back then, that I should have treated her well and kept her then?”
“Director Seo came here earlier. He’s probably leaving Seoul by now.”
“Leaving Seoul?”
“Don’t worry. It’s not too far.”
Yunsil smiled meaningfully.
“He seems to have come to his senses.”
Led by Sunhye’s guidance, William visited the secure mansion and exchanged a joyful hug.
It was a light hold and release of each other due to the pregnant belly.
“Oh, the baby will be born soon!”
“Yes, I hope the baby is born healthy.”
“Surely it will be. When the baby is born, come to New York.”
“When I can take a plane, I’ll come right away.”
“You can come and play, or you can come right away.”
Lajin opened her eyes wide.
“I heard from Mr. Jeong before. You mentioned that you are considering leaving Korea.”
“…Yes. I am considering it for the future, especially when the child is a bit older. There are no eternal secrets in the world, after all.”
If the child were to be taken away, she couldn’t continue to live. Just the thought alone squeezed her heart.
“When I was young, thanks to the Korean nanny who stayed by my side, I could go out and see the big world. I promised myself that I would repay the favor by being that person for someone else.”
William’s eyes deepened as he remembered the nanny.
“I want to be that person for Lajin and Lajin’s child. Also, although my father was alive, I had to consider him as a non-existent presence. I can understand the child’s heart better than anyone.”
His sincerity was deeply felt. Grateful, Lajin nodded.
“I will seriously consider it. For now, I’ll concentrate on Tteun-tteun being born safely.”
“Oh, right, Tteun-tteun was the fetal nickname, right? No, Twoun. Twoun.”
Although William’s Korean pronunciation was very fluent and accurate, the word ‘Tteun-tteun’ did not seem to be pronounced well.
“I’m sorry, haha. If we give the baby a name, I will pronounce it correctly. Please understand.”
Of course, she nodded, and Lajin’s gaze turned to William’s hand.
“Is that, by any chance.”
“Yes, it’s the food I brought from the restaurant that Lajin mentioned.”
Lajin’s expression brightened. Sunhye smiled and put her arm around Lajin.
“Shall we go to the kitchen quickly? Lajin and Tteun-tteun must be hungry.”
“Oh, no! I was too thoughtless. Where is the kitchen?”
The three of them headed to the kitchen. When they took out the dishes from the container and opened the lid on the dining table, Lajin’s eyes lit up.
“I made it mainly with dry side dishes. It’s not tasty when it gets cold. Oh, and I separately prepared bulgogi, thinking Lajin would like it.”
Lajin couldn’t hide her joy. Even though she had made bulgogi not long ago, she was a bit disappointed because it didn’t compare to what Sunhye had made.
“Um, Chef. By any chance… Did Mr. Jeong notice?”
“Oh, don’t worry about that! Except for Sous Chef, no one knows that I arrived in Korea a week earlier. I agreed with Geonyeong Food the day before I arrived, and no one was around the restaurant. Ah, I did feel like I was being followed, though.”
Lajin’s face tensed with nervousness.
“I deliberately stopped by the hotel and came out, and he was gone. It seems it was just my misunderstanding. Well, I felt a bit strange when a taxi driver stared at a foreigner getting off in the middle of nowhere, but I soon felt relieved when Sunhye came to pick me up.”
Only then did Lajin breathe a sigh of relief.
“Yeah, he still wouldn’t be able to find me. Even if he searches, he will never discover me here.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
