To Seo-yeon’s question, Ye-rin vigorously nodded her head.
“I understand it now. Yes. That’s right! Miss Han Seo-yeon is just living with Oppa’s shell without love. Do you now see how pitiful and pathetic Miss Han Seo-yeon is? Why on earth aren’t you getting a divorce? Don’t you have any self-respect?”
Seo-yeon was amazed by the shameless and confident assertion of the woman. How could she boldly say that she was having an affair? Would slapping her across the face make Seo-yeon feel better?
“That’s enough. Please come to your senses and stop now!”
Around Seo-yeon, there were many people who boasted about maintaining an extramarital relationship while still being married. She also knew that attractive individuals approached her husband even after marriage.
However, guessing and facing the reality were different levels of shock.
“Pitiful. That’s how it looks to Ye-rin.”
“Yes, it’s really pathetic.”
“But then, what can you do? Seong-jun’s wife is just me, and Ye-rin is just a mistress getting pointed fingers at by the world anyway.”
“What, what did you say?”
The woman seemed genuinely shocked, and her face turned pale. Seo-yeon, mocking her, said,
“If you want a divorce, tell Seong-jun. That would be simpler. I have no intention of stepping back. Anyway, my marriage to Seong-jun was not out of love. So, even if Ye-rin exists, it won’t change anything.”
With that, she stood up. Although she casually mentioned in front of the woman that infidelity like her husband’s didn’t pose any problem in their married life, deep inside, she felt a significant sense of betrayal towards Seong-jun.
It was indeed challenging at that time, but now, Seo-yeon, who had gone through various hardships, had become extremely pragmatic in her personality.
As long as she could safely meet the child who was miscarried in the past, she could easily turn a blind eye to her husband’s infidelity.
In her past life, she learned the lesson that no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t get everything she wanted. So, in this life, she just wanted to meet the child she wanted most.
However, seeing her husband’s fiery anger, she felt that she might have made a mistake. After reminiscing, a sigh escaped from between Seo-yeon’s lips.
“I should have pretended not to know until the end like I used to.”
Seo-yeon muttered with a serious expression. Suddenly, a choked feeling overwhelmed her. Staring at the empty space where Seong-jun used to be, she said resentfully,
“Who should be angry, really.”
In this life, she only wanted to live for herself without being manipulated by her husband or family. She even refrained from revealing the fact that she knew her husband was already committing wrongdoing.
“But why are you getting angry?”
As it turns out, her husband was a shameless man beyond what she had thought.
She had vowed not to be hurt by her husband this time. As time passed, however, her husband’s shamelessness seemed to seep in more.
However, she couldn’t just step back quietly. Somehow, she would convince her husband.
Seong-jun, who arrived at the company, was in a low-pressure system. The extent of how gloomy his expression was indicated to even the lowest-ranking employees that Seong-jun was in a terrible mood. And this mood plummeted even further upon receiving a message from his wife.
[“Did you get to work well? I lied yesterday. I’m sorry. As an apology, I’ll prepare dinner tonight. You’ll come in early today, right?”] And he had no choice but to admit it.He had felt great expectations and excitement about the fact that his wife, who had avoided him like a sinner until now, initiated the conversation first.
What kind of story does she want to tell?
He couldn’t even guess, but it seemed like that was all he thought about while driving.
And when she expressed the wish that the relationship between the two would change from before, it felt like my heart would truly explode.
I thought she was uncomfortable with me.
Whenever I tried to say something, she would always avert her gaze or bow her head.
But it turned out to be my misconception.
And when my wife confidently mentioned to Seong-jun that she hoped they could share the same room, in that moment, he observed his wife’s face in detail for the first time in a long while.
Large, round eyes.
Soft and smooth cheeks.
Plump yet red lips.
All the things that usually went unnoticed suddenly became engraved in Seong-jun’s vision. And all of those things couldn’t have looked so beautiful.
In an instant, his heart warmed up.
“Instead, I won’t demand or expect anything from Seong-jun as a wife. If he has a woman he loves, he can meet her as much as he wants. I’ve even written it in the contract.”
And that excited feeling in Seong-jun’s heart cooled down abruptly at Seo-yeon’s words.
