Unable to move forward and still hesitating, a hand silently reached out in front of Eunjae. The warmth of his hand overlapped with her small hand, which had a flush on her face that was tense until a little while ago.
Looking at the name carved on one side of the wall and the smiling photo of Dad, Eunjae smiled brightly.
“How… have you been?”
From her parted lips came somewhat cliché words. There was also a somewhat cliché excuse.
“I tried to come quickly, but I haven’t been feeling well.”
Perhaps, he lived an unhappy and pitiful life that couldn’t get close to us for fear that we might suffer because of him. Dad, who made a lot of efforts to protect Mom, me, and everyone else.
He must have been watching from above, but those who tormented us for a long time because of this person are struggling in a hell they have never experienced.
Those who ignored his sin, those who tried to cover it up, those who conspired with him, each is receiving punishment in proportion to the weight of the sin they committed.
“Kwon Seungcheol works at Yeomjeon. He probably won’t be able to leave there until he pays off all his debts.”
Not long ago, he ran away to Seoul but came back on his own. It seems there was a man in Seoul looking for him. It wasn’t for a good reason. That man also lost all his property because of Kwon Seungcheol. In the end, he returned to Yeomjeon. There was no other place for him to go.
Would that person who was abandoned by everyone be suffering and agonizing by now? Would he be very miserable? He should be. Please, he should be.
“So now, don’t worry about me. I’m really happy these days.”
With teary eyes, Eunjae smiled brightly at the flowers and placed a sonogram of the fruit next to them.
“Let Dad protect our fruit so that it can grow up healthy.”
Thank you for protecting Mom and me. Thank you for keeping the promise with this person.
“I’ll come again in the spring.”
And thank you for sending this person to me.
“I missed you, Dad.”
And I love you.
Eunjae thought that seeing Dad would make her feel comfortable, but an empty something kept making Eunjae’s chest feel tight.
In the car, which had stopped for a while until the heater came out, Eunjae kept sighing. Suddenly, she snapped back to reality. She rummaged through a convenience store plastic bag on her knee and handed a triangular kimbap to Sunwoo.
“Eat this.”
“Are you sure about this? We can stop by a rest area.”
“I bought it because I wanted to eat it.”
When Eunjae took a bite of the kimbap and took a sip of warm yuja tea, a brown envelope was placed on Eunjae’s knee.
“W-what is this again?”
“Open it, yourself. It wouldn’t be fun if I told you in advance.”
Eunjae reluctantly handed the document envelope back to Sunwoo. Just looking at that brown envelope now made her feel like getting a nosebleed.
“I won’t take anything from you, Mr. Sunwoo.”
“What are you thinking again?”
Sunwoo, who had narrowed his eyebrows as if he felt uncomfortable, took out the paper from the document envelope and placed it back on Eunjae’s knee.
“It’s not settled yet.”
With a long sigh, Eunjae’s hand, holding the paper, trembled slightly. The document he handed her was Dad’s retrial request.
“Mr. Sunwoo…”
“It will take a long time.”
“It’s okay, even if it takes a long time.”
Sunwoo looked directly into Eunjae’s watery eyes and asked.
“Do you trust me this time too?”
Eunjae nodded continuously with teary eyes.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
