She spent days clinging to vain hopes, enduring a dismal everyday life. Jinyook clearly had no idea that there were countless moments when she wanted to leave this house if not for Mi-hyun.
“I finally voiced what I had been holding in my heart.”
“…….”
“It may seem sudden to you, but for me, it was inevitable.”
An indifferent husband. Disparaging in-laws. Her meaningless existence in that place.
To Yeonju, her marriage life was something that could end any day. Even if Jinyook suddenly said they should separate, she was ready to leave without any objections.
Yeonju looked at Jinyook seriously.
“You know in your head that this is the best way.”
She continued in a calm yet firm tone.
“I’m unlikely to have children, and staying by your side won’t help. I might even be a hindrance.”
“…….”
“For both your sake and mine, divorce is an unavoidable choice, the most logical solution.”
Having said enough for Jinyook to understand, Yeonju picked up her suitcase again.
“Once you’ve prepared all the documents, let me know.”
As she was about to leave the room, Jinyook snatched the suitcase from her and raised his voice.
“Who says this is the best way?”
For Jinyook, divorce was the worst option, the absolute last resort he never wanted to use.
Yeonju quickly changed her clothes. Checking the time, she realized it was almost when the housekeeper would arrive.
She knew the conversation Jinyook had with the housekeeper yesterday.
“From now on, if anything happens to my wife, contact me immediately.”
“What do you mean by anything?”
“Yeonju is in a good condition now, so she’ll stay home for a while. If Yeonju tries to leave the house, contact me immediately.”
She needed to leave the house before the housekeeper arrived. Dressed in comfortable clothes and a coat, Yeonju headed towards the entrance. She put on her shoes and was about to leave the house when she turned to look inside one last time.
The empty house came into view. There was hardly anything packed, so the interior looked unchanged.
The house wouldn’t change just because she was gone. She was determined to leave without any lingering attachment.
Yeonju quickly turned her head and opened the front door.
“I don’t care if we can’t have children.”
Jinyook had said it didn’t matter if they couldn’t have children, but that was a lie. Even if he was fine with it, his family would never leave her in peace.
“I have no intention of divorcing you.”
She couldn’t understand why he refused to divorce her, but she didn’t need to dwell on his reasons.
Yeonju had no attachment to him or his family. No matter what he said, she was determined to leave.
As Yeonju opened the front door and quickly passed through the garden, she was about to open the gate when she came face-to-face with a man in a black suit. The rather large man bowed his head and greeted her.
“Good day, ma’am.”
Yeonju narrowed her eyes and asked,
“Who are you?”
“I am Seok-ho Park, assigned to protect you starting today.”
What…?
Yeonju’s expression hardened. The man noticed the large bag in her hand and asked,
“Are you going somewhere?”
“Just a short trip. I’ll be back soon.”
Yeonju tried to walk past him, but the man immediately stepped beside her and said,
“Sir has instructed me to accompany you wherever you go. I will drive you.”
He politely extended his hand and said,
“Let me carry your bag. It looks heavy.”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
