While sipping tea, Yeonju and Mina enjoyed some leisure time after a long while.
Setting down her teacup, Mina said, “This place is really nice. Let’s come here often.”
“Yes, indeed. The kids love it too. We should have come earlier.”
Looking at Inhyuk and Jinwook in the swimming pool, Mina asked, “How about Jinwook? Is he still taking good care of you even after having the second child?”
“Yes, he takes good care. Especially, he can’t move at all when it comes to Yeonwoo.”
“Yeah, it looks like it. Hehe.”
Mina laughed and added, “Inhyuk is the same. He’s a daughter’s fool. Hayoon asks for something, and he tries to do everything for her, which is a problem.”
The two of them laughed while looking towards the swimming pool. The two daughters’ fools were being cautious and holding their daughters carefully to avoid splashing water on their faces.
“I think we made a good decision to get married.”
Mina said, watching Inhyuk and the children with a smile.
“Living through it, I realized that marriage is worth considering. It seems I got scared for no reason.”
“…….”
“Now, I can’t even imagine how it would be without Inhyuk.”
Watching Mina’s expression, Yeonju sighed with relief. Seeing her happy, Yeonju felt at ease.
“See? Grandpa said he would be a good dad.”
“Yeah, he did. Thanks for letting me know. And… I’m saying this now, but, to be honest, Jinwook played a part in making up my mind to marry Inhyuk.”
Yeonju widened her eyes.
“What did Jinwook do?”
“He didn’t do anything for me, but seeing how he treats Dongseo made me have a change of heart.”
Mina spoke with a contemplative expression.
“He used to say he felt suffocated at home to the point of wanting to run away, which is why he came to Rome where I was.”
“…….”
“Trying to regain Dongseo, and consistently seeing how well he treats him afterward, and watching Dongseo being happy… Maybe for the first time, I thought marriage might not be such a bad idea.”
Leaving Rome and living with Jinwook again, Yeonju’s face changed. A bright energy always lingered on her face, and she smiled more, spoke more.
Jinwook was the one who changed Yeonju, and Yeonju was the one who changed Jinwook.
Watching the two living together, supporting each other, Mina thought she could live like that too.
So, just like Jinwook, she decided to marry Inhyuk, who expressed his feelings consistently.
Looking at Yeonju affectionately, Mina said, “Thank you for living well.”
“…….”
“Thanks to you, I’m also living very happy days now.”
Yeonju’s heart resonated with Mina’s words, and her eyes became moist.
She looked at Jinwook with tender eyes.
As Mina said, he was once a man who felt suffocated.
He found it difficult to say a word, and his gaze was always cold.
He was a man who didn’t understand my heart at all and eventually became the man who made me tired and left.
But not anymore.
Now, he has become a loving dad to two children and a reliable husband.
He has become an indispensable existence in this world, and even a short separation makes him a missed presence.
Now he is the reason and everything in my life.
It was at that moment when Yeonju felt a lump in her chest, watching Jinwook.
“Mom!”
Seojun was waving his hand towards Yeonju from the swimming pool.
“Mom!! Come over here!!”
At Seojun’s shout, Mina said, “The break is over.”
Then Seojun shouted again.
“Grandma too!!”
Saying it’s over for me too, Mina got up from her seat. The two walked towards the swimming pool together.
In the spacious swimming pool, the children were playing with tubes and life jackets. Yeonju approached Seojun, who was swimming with a tube.
“Seojun. Why did you call Mom?”
“Mom, come in here too!”
“But Mom didn’t wear a swimsuit, so I…”
At that moment, Jinwook lifted Yeonju and wrapped his arms around her waist. Holding Yeonju with both arms, he walked straight into the swimming pool.
“Splash!”
With a splash, the water in the pool overflowed and created waves.
Yeonju, who had suddenly entered the pool, was startled and playfully hit Jinwook’s chest.
“What’s this! Seriously~!”
Jinwook, finding it amusing, laughed heartily even after being hit.
The children nearby burst into laughter as well. Seeing the kids laugh, Mina and Inhyuk couldn’t help but join in.
Laughter is said to be contagious, and soon everyone’s faces were adorned with smiles.
The laughter echoed, reaching even the sky.
It was a moment of happiness, a preview of countless joyful days to come.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
