The Hyun Seo of the past was a person who felt moved and delighted even by the very trivial things he showed her.
“It seems that to you, our married life was not so great. So much so that you don’t regret leaving, you must have been trembling in fear.”
Hyun Seo was just fiddling with his water glass with meaningless gestures. He looked as if he was about to collapse emotionally, not knowing what to do.
“Director Chae, stop it now.”
She didn’t understand what this man was saying. It was all unbearable.
“Since it seems you know well that it’s useless to say anything, please don’t say anymore.”
“……”
At her words, Do Ha stopped speaking.
Hyun Seo stood up from her seat, disliking the painful gaze of him staring at her directly.
“I think I should go now. I’m sorry I couldn’t stay till the end.”
In the end, she finished her time there with a businesslike tone and picked up her bag.
Even as she left, she could feel Do Ha’s gaze following her, but she didn’t look back.
She didn’t know how the past few days had passed.
After the meeting with Chae Do Ha, she kept zoning out like a person drained of spirit.
The conversation that day was so unrealistic that she felt as if she had dreamed it.
Hyun Seo had to consciously try to erase that thought.
In such a dazed state, she greeted Saturday. It was an off day, but a surprise guest arrived.
“Huh? Lucas! What brings you here?”
“I wanted to hang out with Do Hyun and tried to contact him, but he wasn’t responding. I thought he’d be at home since it’s still morning, so I dropped by.”
“Really? Did you call? Ah, was my phone on silent? Come in, first.”
“This is the bread that Do Hyun likes.”
“Why did you buy something like this? Thank you!”
Hyun Seo was looking for her phone belatedly, pacing around the house, and Lucas went into Do Hyun’s room with a bright smile.
“Our cute little Do Hyun, let’s go play with dad!”
“Woah, where?”
“Since the weather is nice, shall we go to the playground?”
“Yeah! Do Hyun wants to go!”
“Lucas! Again, you said dad!”
From the morning, Do Ha drove his car out.
After the conversation with Hyun Seo a few days ago didn’t go smoothly, he had been spending time aimlessly for days.
There were no appointments unusually for this weekend. So, his head was even more complicated.
Once in the car, Do Ha didn’t hesitate much. As soon as he started the car, he drove to the old neighborhood almost out of habit.
When faced with unresolved concerns, he would occasionally go to that place, and he was going there again today.
The resolution not to go was useless.
Even though going to the old neighborhood didn’t provide any answers. Even though Hyun Seo was not living there now.
Where on earth was Hyun Seo living now?
With various thoughts about Hyun Seo, Do Ha was vaguely heading towards the front of his old inlaws’ house.
“Do Hyun wants to go to the playground!”
“Do Hyun, do you want to go?”
Hyun Seo looked out the window with a smile. The weather was indeed good.
“If you’re tired, Hyun Seo, I can take him out and bring him back alone.”
“Do you think you can handle him alone for a few hours? You’ve never raised a child.”
“Do Hyun is okay being away from his mom, it’s fine. I can give him a great time.”
“Thank you, but I should go with you. Wait! I’ll get ready too.”
At her words, both Lucas and Do Hyun let out a cheer at the same time.
“Woah, Do Hyun! Today we can go play with both mom and dad! It’s exciting!”
“Wow! Hehehe.”
Do Hyun, too excited to know what to do, burst into an innocent laugh.
“Let’s go quickly, mom!”
“But before that, our Do Hyun needs to eat, right?”
Hyun Seo quickly went to the kitchen and prepared Do Hyun’s breakfast. With her nimble hands, Hyun Seo quickly filled the dining table.
“Lucas, do you want to eat together?”
“I’ve already eaten. We can eat lunch together later.”
“Okay.”
“Wow, but Do Hyun’s breakfast is a feast. Hyun Seo is indeed a good cook.”
Looking down at the table, Lucas’s eyes widened. Then, Hyun Seo smiled awkwardly.
“Recently, I’ve been cooking with the babysitter, so I’m slowly learning.”
“And it’s at this level? Do Hyun is lucky.”
Before the divorce, she used to prepare meals for her inlaws with such care every day, and there was no way that Hyun Seo, who was like gold to her child, could neglect the task of feeding her child.
No matter how busy she was, she made constant efforts to provide Do Hyun with a balanced diet.
“Do Hyun needs to eat a variety of foods.”
Moreover, the child was much smaller than other children of the same age, so she had no choice but to do so. He had been born small and still was.
“He’ll grow soon, don’t worry.”
“I know……. But I always feel sorry as a mother.”
Hyun Seo always thought that the child might not have grown much because she had a hard time when she was pregnant with Do Hyun.
“Hyun Seo is not short either, so he’ll grow well. Unless Do Hyun’s biological father is short…….”
“…….”
Suddenly mentioning the person, Hyun Seo felt a sudden discomfort in her chest.
Losing her words while placing the side dishes, Lucas tilted his head and asked.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
