Jaehyuk’s hand, which was stroking Arin’s hair, stopped.
“Oppa?”
When Arin no longer felt the gentle touch, she looked up at Jaehyuk. His expression was unusual.
“Arin.”
“Yes?”
“I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“Yeah. It’s something you need to know about Rachel.”
With a complex expression, he looked down at her.
“Arin, there’s something you must know about Rachel.”
He sent a message to Euna.
-The day I mentioned before has come today.
After sending a brief message, Jaehyuk raised his head and looked at Arin.
‘How should I say it, so you can be less hurt? Even though I’m not the one involved, do I have the right to speak the truth?’ His hesitation was not absent from his mind. He feared that revealing his stepmother to her might cause more pain.
However, Jaehyuk remembered Euna’s words to him.
[I am not a qualified mother. How dare I stand in front of that child.]Arin didn’t leave Jaehyuk’s side after he woke up, except for one day when she was absent. It was when Jiyoon and Mrs. Seo came for his hospital visit.
Jaehyuk, along with Jiyoon and Mrs. Seo, had lunch and sent Arin away, almost as if scheduling an appointment. It seemed coordinated, as Euna and Liam came to visit him.
Jaehyuk recalled that day as he looked at Arin.
A few days ago.
“Is your body okay?”
Euna approached with a worried face. Her husband, Liam Lewis, was by her side.
When Jaehyuk tried to sit up, Liam and Euna restrained him.
“Lie down.”
“Thank you. Then I’ll greet both of you like this.”
“I owe you a lot. Thanks to the Vice Chairman, no, now thanks to the Chairman, I’m alive.”
Before Euna could finish her sentence, Liam interrupted.
“Whatever it is, tell me. I can’t repay you for saving my wife, but I can give anything to the Chairman.”
Instead of answering, Jaehyuk looked at Liam.
He knew Liam would give whatever he asked for, no matter what it was.
He, too, could give anything willingly to the person who saved Arin.
Liam would probably be the same.
‘If I carry the largest asset management company in the U.S. on my back, there’s nothing to be afraid of. But…’
Jaehyuk didn’t expect anything from Euna. He hadn’t saved her for any particular reason.
Rather, remembering Euna’s words, he felt that he wasn’t worthy.
Euna, her lips trembling, said, “You probably expected this.”
With a serious expression, Euna hesitated for a while and then closed her mouth. Jaehyuk patiently waited for her words.
Somehow, it seemed like now was the right time.
With determination, Euna looked up.
“As Vice Chairman expected, Arin is my daughter.”
Thud, Jaehyuk’s heart dropped.
Of course, he had expected it.
He thought that Arin and Euna might have a ‘family?’ or a deeply entangled relationship.
However, hearing an enormous fact directly from Euna’s mouth, he lost his words. Despite anticipating it, he was shocked.
‘So that’s why I wanted to save this person.’
The one who was most surprised was himself, who was usually indifferent to other people’s affairs.
‘This person saved Euna because she gave birth to Arin.’
Only now did Jaehyuk realize why he involuntarily moved towards Euna.
“What will you do if I tell Arin what you said today?”
“I hope you didn’t tell her. It will be a shock. No matter how bad of a mother Yoon Kyung-sook is, if Arin knows that she’s not her real mother, it will be very difficult for her.”
Jaehyuk remained silent at Euna’s words.
‘I hope Arin doesn’t cry anymore. If Arin becomes aware that this person is her biological mother, will she be happier than now?’
Of course, Arin could live her entire life without knowing that Euna is her biological mother. However, there was no eternal secret in the world.
Someday, Euna might find out that she is Arin’s biological mother. At that time, if Euna realizes that she is not a person in this world due to an accident, how sad will Arin be?
Jaehyuk thought about that first. He saved Euna because she was Arin’s biological mother.
So, saving Euna didn’t mean he expected something in return.
Jaehyuk thought that way.
‘What does Arin want?’
After a not-so-short silence, Jaehyuk looked Euna in the eyes.
“If there’s anything else you want, just say it. I’ll listen to whatever it is.”
Euna spoke as if she was prepared to give anything.
“Do you seriously have no intention of revealing to Arin that Rachel is her family?”
“…That.”
“Arin loved her family. Even if that family only gave her pain and wounds.”
Euna fell silent at Jaehyuk’s words.
“Arin knows that she is not my biological daughter.”
However, her silence didn’t last long.
At Jaehyuk’s words, Euna trembled in her hands.
“W-What does that mean? A-Arin knows?”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
