As Jeannie gently stroked its scarce fur, Toto gradually calmed down.
“What about Heeju?”
Jaemin sighed deeply when Youngja asked.
“She’s refusing even though I offered her half of the property.”
“Oh my, that’s serious. We can’t leave our grandchild outside like this.”
“I don’t understand why she’s being so stubborn.”
“Let’s be as nice as possible this time. Don’t be too harsh, be kind and gentle.”
“Do you think she’ll listen?”
“She’s not inherently a hard person. If you cajole her differently than before, she’ll definitely agree to sign.”
While stroking Toto, Jeannie looked puzzled.
“Didn’t she say she doesn’t remember much after the accident? If she’s resisting the divorce because of that, shouldn’t you take her to a hospital to regain her memory?”
“You believe that? Seeing her walking around, it seems like she did get compensation from the accident, but forgetting is just a lie. Otherwise, how did she find this house? And she knows all about divorcing Jaemin!”
“Ah, I see.”
“Of course! She’s pretending not to remember, just being stubborn. We need to convince her to sign the papers.”
Jeannie nodded, understanding Youngja’s logic. Jaemin, still looking serious, bit his lower lip before speaking.
“But what if she still refuses?”
“Then!”
Grrr. Woof woof woof woof!
“Can you get rid of that dog? It’s so noisy.”
As Toto became more aggressive with Jaemin’s shout, Jeannie pouted and stood up.
“Fine, let’s go!”
Jaemin sighed and turned back to Youngja.
“I need to make sure she signs tomorrow. Otherwise, I don’t think Rona will let this go.”
“So, we absolutely cannot achieve it by doing it the way we have been. You understand what I’m saying, right?”
“Yes. Then what should we do specifically?”
Mother and son brainstormed together for a long time. Jaemin nodded several times to Youngja’s words, and the sound of the dog barking continued deep into the night.
Chaewon, looking at the vital sign monitor, turned her gaze towards Heeju, who lay with a pale face and closed eyes.
“I resemble our mother, and you, sister, are said to resemble our father.”
Though Heeju’s heart was beating, she remained unconscious. Chaewon consistently talked to her.
“Mom said our personalities and behaviors were very different, even though we’re twins.”
What was our father like?
There was still so much left unsaid between them, but Heeju lay motionless, her lips tightly closed.
Chaewon regretted not asking more, sharing more stories, and giving more affection. After encountering Heeju’s in-laws, which were entirely different from what she had heard, Chaewon felt guilty for not being there for her more.
“Fortunately, James is a good man. Even after mom passed away, he didn’t abandon me and took care of me.”
It almost felt like Heeju was talking to her as Chaewon looked at her. Staring for a long time, it seemed as if she could see faint expressions on her face, as if she was smiling or crying…
“I went on a blind date arranged by James, and guess what, it turned out the guy is related to your sister-in-law. I was really shocked; I’m not usually easily surprised.”
Don’t be too shocked; I handled it well.
Fortunately, it was a good offer for both of us, so I made a deal with that man.
So now, for a month, I have to date him every day… Oh, what kind of man is he?
Chaewon, drawing in the air and murmuring to herself, opened her phone and showed the picture taken today to Heeju.
“Nothing much. He’s very tall, handsome, capable, and sexy…”
Chaewon paused in the middle of speaking casually and looked at his picture for a long time. His unique aura was palpable even in the photo.
“See, how mean he is for staying a step behind in the picture? Wow… I was really surprised. But don’t worry too much. Despite that, there’s not much difference.”
Chaewon shrugged her shoulders and again looked at the picture silently for a long time.
“But, this man and I, we seem to match quite well…”
While thinking this, she shook her head vigorously. The picture must have been too good, leading her to strange thoughts.
“I’ll stay sharp. If he can show such romantic eyes without any acting training, he’s no ordinary man. And who am I? I’m Kim Chaewon. I’ve rejected countless men’s advances. There’s so much I want to achieve to be tied down in a relationship.”
Despite her chattering, the sight of Heeju remained unchanged.
“I hate owing favors. Wake up soon and pay me back. You’re the only one I can talk to about dad now.”
As her eyes began to moisten, Heeju’s phone rang loudly. Chaewon turned her head, saw Noh Jaemin’s name on the screen, and pressed the call button.
“Yes.”
“Tomorrow’s Saturday. You’re coming, right?”
It was already the umpteenth call from Noh Jaemin. He never seemed to understand even after being told once, a tiresome type who bothered people.
Chaewon sighed softly.
“Then roll out the red carpet for me.”
Jaemin’s protesting voice disappeared as Chaewon ended the call.
Looking at Heeju, who still hadn’t woken up, Chaewon stood up with a special determination.
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:

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.

3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
