재혁 replied shortly and then started to fiddle with his cufflinks. 아린 realized from his expression that 정 여사 had intended her to bear the brunt of the decision. ‘After all, you’re leaving anyway, so it’s okay to be the bad guy…’
For 아린, 정 여사 was a malicious mother-in-law, but to her son, she was entirely devoted.
In his presence, she always showed a kind and generous mother-in-law’s demeanor, but her attitude changed dramatically in his absence.
Her fists trembled slightly.
She didn’t want to be hated anymore, but she had no choice.
Biting her lower lip tightly, 아린 handed the papers she had placed on the table to 재혁.
“Let’s end it, us.”
Perhaps due to the hundreds of rehearsals in front of the mirror, the real deal was a success.
Her voice, declaring ‘the end’, was calm and composed.
“What is this?”
재혁’s hands stopped while adjusting his cufflinks.
“What’s this?”
아린 gestured for him to take it and see for himself. Taking the document, 재혁’s eyes darkened.
“I’ve already filled out my part. You just need to complete the rest.”
After a brief silence, he spoke.
“Is this from mother? Or your mother?”
His tone was sharp.
His face hardened suddenly, his eyes demanding an explanation.
But 아린 did not avoid his gaze.
“No, it’s my decision.”
“최아린.”
재혁 grabbed 아린’s shoulders.
“I just want to live comfortably.”
“…What?”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“It’s not sudden. I’ve been thinking about it.”
“…”
“This place is too overwhelming for me. I hate how everything I do becomes a topic of gossip.”
재혁 looked at 아린 with a dazed expression, as if he’d been hit on the back of the head.
“I also hate being harassed about the child issue.”
While 아린’s eyes seemed calm, her heart was in tatters.
‘I hoped you wouldn’t ignore and despise me like everyone else. I couldn’t hold my head up as my family kept demanding money from you.’
That’s why.
She wanted to let go of everything. She didn’t want to cling to a life that wasn’t getting any better, no matter how hard she tried.
“I’ll talk to mother about it. Don’t worry about the child issue.”
재혁 crumpled the divorce papers and threw them on the floor. 아린’s gaze fell on the discarded pieces.
“Don’t do that.”
Whenever 재혁 confronted her, 정 여사 would cunningly and thoroughly trample her where he couldn’t notice.
Except for 현유정, who was appointed as her attendant, nobody in the house was on her side.
아린 picked up the divorce papers, smoothed them out, and handed them back to 재혁.
“I want a divorce. My decision won’t change.”
At 아린’s words, 재혁 looked at her in stunned disbelief.
재혁 was her one and only love and the savior of her fallen life.
She faintly knew it was impossible to find another man she could love more than 재혁, not in the past, now, or ever.
“Why are you doing this now after all this time?”
“…”
“Is it because mother is forcing you to go to the fertility clinic?”
No, it wasn’t as simple as that, it was all over now.
You really didn’t care about me.
The last thread of emotion she held for 재혁 was released.
아린 spoke calmly.
“No. I’ve already been there.”
“What? You went?”
“Yes. I got all the tests done, and Dr. Kim said it’s difficult. So.”
“최아린.”
It felt like something straight out of a morning drama.
A marriage of convenience, contempt and mistreatment from in-laws, tyranny from the mother-in-law.
She thought it was all exaggerated for TV. But it was all her reality.
“Yes.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
How could I?
How could I tell you, who treats me like I’m invisible, that your mother is dragging me to the hospital? What would you say to that?
The unspoken words swirled in her mouth.
Yes. Once, she hoped for such a response from him.
‘Maybe he’s developed feelings for me. Maybe he likes me a little.’
[재혁 has loved another woman since he was young. You must have heard about her.]‘If mother hadn’t told me that, I would have completely deluded myself.’
As a young child, when he presented her with a yellow flower and promised to marry her when they grew up, she couldn’t forget that and almost harbored hope.
[Don’t complicate things. Just stay there.]재혁 often said that. Despite knowing, the hope she held was always shattered.
Just like now.
“I can’t divorce.”
“재혁-ssi.”
재혁 twitched his lips and turned his head away.
“Don’t be so extreme.”
아린 couldn’t understand his reaction.
Why?
Wasn’t divorce what he wanted?
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
