At Ye Rim’s question, Sun Woo narrowed his brows briefly, harboring an ominous hunch. It stemmed from the fear that Eun Jae might have let slip something about the contract.
Sun Woo, who lightly dispersed his breath into the void, broke the brief silence to ask what she meant. The response he received was unexpected.
[I’ll take her home. I also know your apartment address.] Despite her consistently curt tone, Sun Woo did not betray any sign of discomfort.“Is Eun Jae with you?”
Pulling out the car keys from his pocket, Sun Woo quickly moved towards the parking lot where he had parked his car.
“…Where are you? I’ll come.”
Despite Ye Rim’s insistence on taking a taxi again, Sun Woo was adamantly against it.
In the end, it was Ye Rim who capitulated to Sun Woo’s obstinate demands.
As Sun Woo got into his car, he didn’t put down his phone even as he started the engine.
A short melody echoed in the quiet car interior soon after. Sun Woo quickly checked the address in the text and pressed his foot deep on the accelerator.
“How much did she drink to be unable to answer the phone?”
His mind was in a whirl as he drove towards where Eun Jae was. At a traffic light, Sun Woo slowly ran his hands through his hair.
“Do you want to come and pick her up? Oh, aren’t you that close?”
A tone of voice tinged with a sneer, as if she knew everything.
Caught off guard by the unexpected question, he was momentarily taken aback. But as always, he regained his calm quickly.
Sun Woo was good at hiding his emotions.
He didn’t have a tendency to be swayed by emotions easily. He was always composed and careful.
No, on second thought, he had never managed to be so in front of this woman.
When he had rescued her when she was first cornered, when he let her into his house without a second thought despite not knowing her well, when he had ran towards her without thinking when she was surrounded by loan sharks, those were not actions moved by logical judgement.
Next to her, there was always an impulsive and irrational Yoon Sun Woo.
The way Sun Woo handled the steering wheel was rough. Every time the traffic light came on, he would impatiently tap his forefinger on the steering wheel and continually ran his hand through his hair.
It was an image of Yoon Sun Woo that was not normally seen.
Ye Rim concluded the somewhat long conversation with the man, promising to send the address through text.
Looking at Eun Jae leaning on her shoulder, as heavy as a waterlogged piece of cotton, Ye Rim let out a deep sigh.
Worry, perhaps distress.
Even after Sun Woo arrived, Ye Rim, who was glaring at him with displeasure, was worried about sending Eun Jae alone to that house, and eventually decided to accompany them.
In the back seat, Eun Jae who had fallen asleep on Ye Rim’s lap was curled up as if she was cold even after being covered with a man’s suit jacket.
She was particularly sensitive to the cold. If she was exposed to cold wind for too long, she would catch a cold.
“Ye Rim, should I tell you a secret?”
“What secret?”
“Actually, all of this is fake.”
With that last statement, Eun Jae’s head fell onto the table. That was all she was able to say before she passed out.
The fact that I was worried by Eun Jae’s sudden declaration of marriage was true. But I was relieved at heart seeing her seemingly doing well, making those worries seem pointless.
But to think it was all a lie.
From the moment she suddenly paid off that huge loan debt, no, from the moment she decided to marry a man she’d never seen or heard of before. Perhaps I should have persistently questioned her then.
I had the thought that there might be some sort of transaction between the two of them. For instance, he could have demanded marriage in return for paying off the loan debt.
‘It’s absurd.’
Ye Rim closed her eyes tightly, shaking her head vehemently, hoping that her imagination was false.
Until before she was drunk, Eun Jae was talking about the man and blushing.
The look in your eyes when you spoke about that man was not a lie. It was definitely sincere.
With a pitiful look, Ye Rim, who was looking down at Eun Jae, pulled up the jacket that had slipped off when the car hit the speed bump.
The image of the man, who found Eun Jae at a glance upon arrival and carefully examined drunk Eun Jae, covering her shoulders with a jacket, came to mind.
Every action of the man exuded sincerity, making it hard to believe it was all a lie. No, he might just be an excellent actor.
Eun Jae said it was all fake.
“Eun Jae taught me before. The address of that studio apartment.”
In the quiet car, where only Eun Jae’s breathing could be faintly heard, Ye Rim broke the uncomfortable silence first.
“Around two months ago, she taught me that address and told me to report it if I couldn’t get in contact with her.”
“There seems to be a misunderstanding.”
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…?
