True Marriage After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 43
“It’s unfilial for a child to speak like this, but I’ll be honest with you. You don’t have much time left, Father. Yes—I know it’s selfish, but the company is my life’s goal and my only hope.”
“……”
Just as he’d expected, her expression softened slightly.
“I’m not asking you to stay with me for the rest of your life, as I once said. I know better than anyone that having you by my side brings you nothing good, so I can’t ask you to mortgage away your own life. Our relationship—it’s just a contract dating arrangement.”
Even as he spoke, his mouth tasted bitter.
“Please think it over once more. Yes—I understand it’s natural for you to think, ‘Why bother?’ I’ll make it as quick as possible, but just stay by my side for one year. Then…”
He felt shamelessly desperate, filled with self-loathing.
“I’ll give you everything. After all, you and I are only in a contract dating arrangement.”
Yes—even if you accept my proposal, this is nothing more than a contract.
The reason he kept repeating the phrase “contract dating” was simple: even if she stood by his side, it was his way of warning himself not to mistake it for genuine feelings.
“You’re handing me the VAN Group—I’ll give you anything else you want, too. Whatever it is, just stay by my side.”
So please, don’t refuse me now.
After a moment of silence, she finally spoke.
“If I’m not supposed to interfere in your personal life, does that mean I’m allowed to interfere in yours, Mr. Ban Jae Hyuk?”
He gave her a faint smile and nodded.

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
