Feeling that she couldn’t stay like this, Seol Won carefully removed her hand so as not to wake Chae Ha.
Then she got up and headed for Woo Joo’s room.
The silence indicated he was still sleeping, so Seol Won turned her steps towards the living room on the first floor.
That’s when it happened. The phone in her hand vibrated.
The caller was Jae Yoon’s mother.
“Hello.”
[Seol Won, is that you? It’s me. We’re in Seoul with Jae Yoon for the weekend. Do you have some time now?]
“Time?”
[Yes. We just got here, and we can’t bear not seeing Woo Joo!]
“Ah….”
[I called to ask if you could join us for a meal. Can you and Woo Joo come out? We’re nearby.]
There was no way she could refuse.
How could they not welcome the ones who had helped bring Wooju into the world?
Taking a quick glance at her watch, Seolwon promptly replied with an affirmation.
It seemed that if she woke Wooju up now and had him wash, they could more or less align with the timing.
Fortunately, Chaeha was also deeply asleep, so she intended to quietly leave and return.
“Seolwon! Wooju! Over here, here.”
“Madam. Sir.”
“Wow~! Grandmother, grandfather! Jaeyun’s dad is also here~.”
“Wooju. Have you been well?”
Watching the three people dramatically hugging Wooju as if they were separated families reunited, Seolwon wore a smile.
Perhaps it was because they didn’t have their own grandchildren yet, but Jaeyun’s parents were so fond of Wooju that it wouldn’t hurt even if they were to put him in their eyes.
In the arms of the grandfather, there was a hearty pleasure on Wooju’s face who had nestled comfortably.
For a young child, not seeing the people they saw every day was quite a significant change, so it was understandable.
“Our baby, seems to have become a bit chubbier?”
Jaeyun’s father swayed chubby Wooju back and forth, smiling from ear to ear.
His face was quite tanned due to hard work on the ship, and his wrinkles became prominent when he smiled, but his smile always eased Seolwon’s heart.
“He’s been eating very well.”
“Seolwon, you also look better.”
“Ah……”
Feeling a bit awkward at that comment, Seolwon stroked her cheek.
Only then did Jaeyun approach Seolwon to greet her.
“It’s been a while. You seem to be doing well. As my mother said, your complexion seems to have improved.”
“Well…… I’ve been getting by.”
“Let’s stop chatting here and go eat. Jaeyun has made a reservation and came up.”
Interrupting the endless greetings in the middle, Jaeyun’s mother led the way.
Following her, Seolwon and Jaeyun walked side by side, catching up with each other’s news after a long time.
Although they had called a few times, most of the calls were made by Wooju, so it was a long time since they had a conversation just the two of them.
“I’m glad nothing major happened.”
“Yes. Thanks to you. Jaeyun, you’ve also been doing well without any issues, right?”
“Well, I’m always the same.”
With a melancholic smile that resembled his father, Jaeyun responded casually.
Though he looked a bit uncomfortable, maybe due to her mood, Seolwon didn’t delve deeper.
Since she decided to return to Chaeha with Wooju, there was admittedly an awkward vibe between them.
Soon, the group arrived at the restaurant where they had made the reservation.
“Come on, our Wooju. Eat a lot.”
“Yes~ Grandma and Grandpa should also eat a lot~.”
“My goodness. Our baby is so filial, so filial.”
Overflowing food was matched with a heartwarming conversation that was just as plentiful.
Having often eaten together while living on the island, such everyday happenings were very familiar to Wooju.
Perhaps that’s why Wooju naturally accepted Jaeyun’s parents as his grandparents.
Outwardly, it would seem like a perfectly ordinary family, Seol Won suddenly thought.
In contrast, the mere thought of Heo Young Joo and Kwon Kang Ho left a bitter taste in her mouth.
The two were truly the cosmic grandparents, but something about them felt discordant.
Even if Kwon Kang Ho was tolerable, didn’t Heo Young Joo always glare at me with her eyes wide open whenever we met?
It was clear that she did not find my child, Woo Joo, appealing either.
But why she had come all the way to the daycare to give snacks was beyond me.
It was certain it was not for a good intention, so I could never let my guard down.
“What are you thinking about so seriously all of a sudden?”
“Ah…”
Coming back to reality, I noticed Jae Yoon looking at me with a worried expression.
Seol Won quickly loosened her face and put on a smile.
She had opposed coming here in the first place, and she didn’t want to worry Jae Yoon unnecessarily.
“It’s nothing. On the other hand, Jae Yoon, you should eat more. The food here is delicious.”
Seol Won carefully put food onto Jae Yoon’s plate.
His parents watched them, as if they had made a pact to do so.
Then, as if she had made up her mind, Jae Yoon’s mother opened her mouth.
“Seol Won.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
“I heard from Jae Yoon. You’ve decided to stay here for three months due to some circumstances.”
“Yes… That’s how it happened.”
“You’ll come back, right?”
For a moment, Seol Won was lost for words.
As her response did not come quickly, all eyes were drawn to her.
It was strange. All she had to do was say she would, or just nod her head.
Like chopsticks suspended in midair, Seol Won’s lips also stopped moving and did not part.
Then, Jae Yoon’s father implored in a newfound stern tone.
“Come back. Seol Won, you, Woo Joo, and we should live peacefully on the island, without any turmoil.”
“Sir…”
“Your father sending you to us, it must mean to protect you till the end. Just as your father did. We cannot bear to see you and Woo Joo in a hard situation.”
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
“That’s right. I always say this, but think of us not as others, but as family.”
“Yes, Ma’am, Sir. Thank you.”
“The one who should be thankful is us. No matter what we do for you, it wouldn’t be enough.”
Even though he didn’t join the conversation, Jae Yoon’s eyes were deeply sunken.
The question of whether she would return was probably what he most wanted to ask.
And there was no doubt that Seol Won’s answer would miss his expectation.
In the midst of a mix of gratitude and guilt, Seol Won also couldn’t understand her own feelings.
Why was it that Kwon Chae Ha’s face she had seen this morning was the first thing that came to her mind at that question?
Why was it that the man who had made her leave five years ago was now the reason it was hard for her to leave?
She was confused. Very much so.

Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
