She had thought Jinwook would naturally ask for a divorce when he learned the truth. She was a person who had nothing to offer him.
It would be faster for Jinwook to marry another woman and have children. Being cold and calculative, he knew what was the most rational choice.
Yet, Jinwook now wanted to conceal the truth and keep her by his side. An unwise and irrational approach. An uncharacteristic choice for him.
She didn’t have the honesty to tell him he was wrong. She was too weak and constrained for that.
Yeonju couldn’t fully understand Jinwook’s intentions, but her only option was to follow his lead. As long as he held her hand, she would not be the one to let go first.
Because not only her future but also Mi-hyeon’s was dependent on that hand.
“Okay. I’ll do as you say.”
Yeonju spoke calmly.
“I won’t tell anyone and will continue as usual.”
Just living as usual. Keeping everyone’s whims in check while living quietly like a doll. It wasn’t unbearably difficult. She had lived that way since her childhood in Daehan’s house.
Jinwook looked at her for a moment, then turned his gaze forward and said,
“You go inside first.”
“What about you?”
“I have some work left at the company.”
“When will you…”
“I’ll be late.”
It was a sign not to wait for him.
“Then I’ll go in…”
At that moment, Yeonju saw Jinwook’s phone ringing. She also saw the name displayed on the phone screen.
[–] Ju Minhee [–]
Jinwook immediately answered the call.
“Hello.”
[Director Jinwook, it’s Secretary Ju. Are you available to talk right now?]“Speak.”
“While you were out, Governor Lee Jung-tae called. He mentioned he has something to discuss regarding the theme park project.”
Jinwook’s expression turned serious instantly as he continued his conversation with Minhee. As soon as company matters entered his mind, Yeonju seemed to fade from his focus.
Yeonju watched him talking and slowly opened the car door.
After getting out and closing the door, she watched the car slowly move away. Through the window, she could still see him, engrossed in his phone call.
His figure gradually receded and disappeared from her sight, his gaze never once meeting hers.
The hand that had been poised to wave in farewell awkwardly hovered in the air before dropping.
“Rrrrrr[–][–][–], Rrrrrrr[–][–][–][–].”
The ringing of her phone woke Yeonju.
Half-opening her eyes, she picked up the phone and looked at the screen.
[–]Mother[–]Upon seeing the name, Yeonju sat up abruptly, cleared her throat, and answered the call.
“Yes, Mother.”
Though she tried to sound calm, her voice was still heavy with sleep. Aeran’s voice came through.
“Were you sleeping?”
“Ah… Yes.”
“How can you still be sleeping at this time?”
Yeonju glanced at the wall clock across from her. It was 7:50 AM. It was later than usual, but not so late as to be considered lazy.
“Then you haven’t had breakfast yet. You need to eat regularly to take your herbal medicine on time.”
“…Yes.”
“It’s not just that. Last night, I dreamt of a big carp appearing, and as you know, dreams of carps often signify a pregnancy omen.”
Her voice held a slight hint of expectation.
“I was wondering if… there might be some news.”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
