Weekly Chapter 2/3

She instructed the nannies to depart.

Then she entered her children’s room and kissed them as they slept.

Jumi, who silently looked at the note listing the food the children had eaten, shifted her gaze to her watch. The nights were now too long.

Even though her children were in the house, she felt empty.

After she had showered, she entered the room.

Had his heart truly deserted her?

He probably had another woman. He was a man who didn’t even blink when she hit him. He was a man who considered weakness ridiculous. No matter how much she rejected him, he always came back.

She feared that another woman had replaced her. But she didn’t think Yoongyo would abandon her like this. Just because she didn’t want to have s#x? Wouldn’t it be better if he locked himself in a room with a housekeeper? Yoongyo had changed.

His new behavior caused her anxiety.

He knew it was an excuse that he had left her alone for her to rest.

Yoongyo had licked her body several times while she slept.

But now he was leaving without even approaching her.

She had hoped that the man would enter the room, but he never did. Jumi finally left the room. She walked past the places where he was absent, to the front door. First, she looked for his shoes.

Fortunately, his shoes were still there. No, he had dozens of pairs of shoes. He didn’t need them. It was silly that she would have been relieved.

Jumi stared at his shoes.

“……”

She felt more and more depressed.

When she looked down the hall, her heart almost stopped.

The man was standing at the end of the corridor leading to the drawing room. He was looking at her. In his folded arms were many papers that looked like documents.

It seemed to Jumi that he had a disinterested look on his face.

She felt aggrieved. This man had turned her into this. Now she couldn’t live without Yoongyo. She couldn’t do anything to erase the anxiety that invaded her.

Her body could not live without him. She felt sad.

Only Yoongyo had the answer to the three days he had ignored her.

“Stop looking at me. Are you looking for something?”

He had an indifferent expression on his face. Even his messy hair looked sultry today. She was annoyed. When it came to this man, anything could annoy her. She didn’t like that. Especially today.

“Who said I was looking for something?”

“Then pretend I’m Jiho.”

She wanted to yell at him because of his haughty attitude.

When she returned to the room, Jumi walked past him. She hid that her heart had turned black during the days she had seen him. He didn’t follow her this time either.

Jumi entered the room but could go no further. She stared at her toes until the door touched her back. When she turned around, she was surprised.

The man was looking at her with cold eyes.
