He could not care less about it at all. The woman continued to grab whatever she could get her hands on, throwing all of it at him in a bout of insanity. Pillows, phones, the calendar, pens… She threw everything she could at him. He was not afraid of any of those, but suddenly he saw a fruit knife on the dressing table. In an instant, his heart turned to panic.“I’ll leave! I’ll leave right now. Sweetheart, calm down and tomorrow… tomorrow we can talk about this again.” He was really worried th
Sean did not want to ask for help, but his heart was already flustered.Love really was not something you could earn by force.He sat on the edge of Jane’s bed. The calming aromatherapy was still wafting around the guestroom as he looked at the woman on the bed. There was no way for him to voice the exasperation in his eyes.He gave Elior a call. It was already late in the night, but Elior drowsily picked up anyway, listening carefully to everything Sean told him about his relationship with Jane.Sean’s deep voice sounded so lonely in the quiet of the night and the silence of the room.Elior heard him out and was silent for a moment.He did not really understand love either.However, he definitely understood Sean, his best friend.When he heard Sean explain what had happened that night, Elior could clearly sense that Sean was intentionally hiding something from him.Even so, he could still feel the man’s pain and bitterness just by hearing his deep voice over the phone.“All
The next day“I want to move out,” Jane said to the well-dressed man next to her, putting her bowl and chopsticks down onto the table.Her heart pounded in his chest. Considering how forceful and stubborn he could be, she…“Okay.”There was a clink of the silver spoon falling into the bowl as the man replied without hesitation.“...” Jane was stupefied for three seconds before she looked at the man in suspicion.When was he so… easily convinced?“How about the condominium at Ginza Garden?”Sean had a habit of drinking black coffee in the mornings, so he gracefully took a sip as he looked at the woman opposite him, saying, “You can move out, but I have to ensure your safety. The condo at Ginza Garden is close to your company and one of the safest in the entire city.”Jane was about to protest when the man put his cup down. “Sweetheart, you have to know this, but I don’t really want you to move out at all.”Letting her live outside was already the most he could compromise.Alt
The boy had a slender body and chestnut-colored short hair tucked under a cap worn backward. His face was fair and pretty, but right now it was filled with impatience.As for the beautiful woman, she had a pretty oval face, a delicate nose, and light pink lips. She did not look more than twenty-five or -six.From the moment she told the boy that Jane was his older sister, Jane understood who they were—products of her father’s adulterous ways.The nausea assaulted her in waves.Although Josep
The beautiful woman jumped when that cold voice suddenly yelled at her like that. It was not that she had not noticed that exceptional-looking man at the table when she came in. In fact, when she first forced her way into the house with her son, the first person she saw was not her target— that thin and plain-looking woman at the table.No, it was the proud and unnaturally handsome man behind the table.Yes, she was jealous. All women secretly made comparisons. The prettier the woman, the mo
She stood in Jane’s way. Even so, Jane did not holler Dos and the rest to chase her out. Instead, she cast a subtle glance at the woman kneeling on the ground and sized her up silently. She could not help finding this absurd. What gave this homewrecker the courage to approach the rightful wife’s daughter to plead for mercy?What gave her father’s little lover the confidence to think that she, Jane, was easy to talk to!Jane looked at the beautiful woman kneeling in front of her and said with a
At the thought of that, Sean tightened his grip on Jane's shoulder, pulling their distance closer together."M-Mrs. Stewart." The beautiful woman was seemingly trembling in fear. A stream of tears flowed out of her aggrieved eyes. She peered at Jane’s face with her watery eyes as well as the man beside Jane… Sean."My name is Ginnie, Mrs. Stewart. Augustine shares the same surname as your father—Dunn. His name is Augustine Dunn. I know that it’s rude for me to barge in like this today, but I h
Jane was mentally prepared. Perhaps Ginnie would demand an exorbitant amount, or perhaps she would ask her to persuade Madam Dunn to draw in her claws. However, Ginnie’s request was one that she had never expected!She stopped talking, but this only made Ginnie more anxious. She clarified with Jane in a haste, "I don't want anything else, I’m serious. I just hope that Augustine can show up in public as a lawful child.“I don’t want a single cent from the Dunn family.“Returning Augustine to his rightful family is more important than anything else. "Jane listened as Ginnie said sincerely, "Please understand, Mrs. Stewart. You can treat it as a mother who is being selfish."Suddenly, she was speechless.Standing next to her, even Sean was nonplussed.He studied Ginnie’s face after listening to her appeal.He lowered his head and stared at the expressionless face of the woman in his arms. In his heart, he knew that she had figured out everything that he was also thinking about.
