At 8 p.m., Dajeong parked the car in a dark parking lot and gazed out through the front windshield. When she looked at her husband’s veranda, the lights were brightly lit. Dajeong heaved a heavy sigh and rested her forehead on the steering wheel.
She didn’t think that Seongja would easily back off from the request to go back. If he were likely to, he wouldn’t have barged in so insistently without any formalities.
Still, she earnestly hoped that this uncomfortable situation would end quickly. It seemed so undesirable to enter the house like this.
Dajeong swallowed a sigh and turned her gaze to the rearview mirror. Siu, who had fallen asleep, was yawning continuously.
Continuing to linger in the parking lot was pointless. Dajeong got out of the car, holding Siu’s sleepy hand, and headed towards the house.
Upon reaching the front door and opening it, loud music emanated from the TV.
“Huh?”
Entering the living room, Siu blinked at the unfamiliar scene and then bent his waist casually.
“Hello, Grandma.”
“Oh, you’re here? Huff, huff.”
In response to Siu’s greeting, Seongja briefly responded, breathing heavily and actively moving her body. In the middle of the living room, she energetically followed an aerobics routine airing on a health channel.
Siu quickly turned his head and looked at Dajeong. His face expressed a desire to say, “She shouldn’t jump around like that.”
Seeing Seongja rolling her feet with a thump-thump sound, Dajeong was worried that complaints about noise might come in due to the sound of footsteps between floors. However, Dajeong simply nodded her head without saying anything. She didn’t feel like saying anything.
Although Siu’s grandmother and Junghyuk’s birth mother, she didn’t want to think this much, but she wasn’t someone who showed any consideration, even if she looked with her eyes closed.
After washing up and lying down on the bed, Siu fell asleep immediately. It seemed like the intense battle with Geumdong had taken its toll.
After putting Siu to sleep and leaving the room, Seongja, who was lying on the sofa panting, waited as if she had been waiting to reproach.
“Hey, what’s this kid doing?”
Dajeong responded dryly.
“What are you talking about?”
“If you came, you should’ve at least watched the evening news. In your eyes, do you only see your kid?”
“Are you saying you haven’t eaten until now?”
“Well, there’s no one to cook for me. How can I eat without someone preparing it for me?”
Dajeong looked at the wall clock. It was nearly 10 o’clock.
“Oh my, you’re starving your daughter-in-law to death just because you have one.” Although there was a moment of concern, Dajeong’s eyes were drawn to the kitchen scene. Next to the water purifier, cups used once were piled up, coffee mix peels were scattered everywhere. Moreover, on the dining table, the side dishes prepared by Sunhee were scattered, and the rice cooker, which seemed to have been scraped with a ladle, had dried rice stuck to it. Even after taking out a large side dish container, she didn’t bother to scoop it out properly, and after eating it all, she left the lid open.
In an instant, the pity that had sprouted at the mention of skipping dinner collapsed like a landslide in Dajeong’s eyes.
“Hey, aren’t you craving something spicy? If you’re good at making monkfish stew, order that. Also, bring a bottle of soju.”
Dajeong closed her eyes tightly, then opened them and turned roughly before coming out to the living room.
“What exactly do you want?”
“Monkfish stew and soju.”
“Don’t play word games. When you barged in so unceremoniously, there must be a purpose.”
Dajeong’s questioning tone revealed her clear excitement. Seongja, who had been staring intently at Dajeong, frowned in annoyance.
“Oh my! Look at this one, her eyes are open! Fine, while we’re at it, let’s settle this. Do you not like me as a daughter-in-law? I don’t like daughters-in-law like you either. But there’s nothing I can do. Do you want to leave my son, Jung Hyuk, or not?”
Dajeong laughed incredulously.
“What did I do to leave him?”
“Look at this cheeky one. Do you think I don’t know that you’re using the child as an excuse to bring in and hold onto our Jung Hyuk? Dream on. As long as I’m awake, there’s no chance. Who is Jung Hyuk to be stuck with such a trivial girl like you? Do you think I’ll allow it? Does Jung Hyuk even know? What does his mother say?”
Dajeong, finding the situation ridiculous, burst into laughter.
“What did I do to deserve being thrown out?”
“Look at this audacious one. Do you think you haven’t ensnared Jung Hyuk with the child as an excuse? Don’t even dream. As long as I’m here, he won’t be tied down by an insignificant girl like you!”
“What kind of serious misunderstanding is this? I haven’t once interfered with Cha Jung Hyuk’s life using the child as an excuse. And above all, I’m not married to Cha Jung Hyuk. I have no intention of becoming anyone’s daughter-in-law. So, please stop worrying and just leave.”
“Oh-ho, you won’t get married?”
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…?
