kabanata 30 el filibusterismo

결혼한 지 5년, 남편의 첫사랑이 인스타그램에 등기권리증을 찍은 사진을 올렸다. 그리고 이런 글을 남겼다. [강진 오빠, 집 선물해 주셔서 고마워요.] 나는 그 등기권리증에 적힌 주소를 보고 깜짝 놀랐다. 그리고 댓글에 물음표를 하나 남겼다. 그러자 조강진에게서 바로 전화가 걸려왔다. [가연이가 혼자서 애 키우느라 얼마나 고생인지 너도 잘 알잖아. 우리 집을 잠시 넘겨준 것뿐이야. 우리가 사는 덴 아무 영향도 없을 거야.] [너는 사람이 왜 그렇게 차가워? 정말 동정심도 없는 거야?] 핸드폰 너머로 강진의 첫사랑, 조가연의 울음소리가 들려왔다. 30분 후, 가연은 다시 인스타그램에 글을 올렸고, 이번엔 나를 태그 했다. 그녀는 2억이 넘는 고급 벤츠 사진을 올렸다. [일시불로 샀어요. 남자는 역시 사랑하는 사람한테 돈 쓰는 걸 아까워하지 않네요.] 이건 분명 가연을 달래주기 위해 산 선물일 것이다. 이걸 본 나는 마음속으로 강진과 이혼하기로 결심했다.

"Elle, if you run, I chase, and if I catch?" He took her by the waist and pulled her to him. Their body was so close that his hot breath fanned her neck turning her red. Ethan's hand tightened around her waist "You make me lose my sanity Elle, do you know that?" He bent toward her inhaling her sweet scent that always invaded his senses. Elle's eye's turned wild "Let me go this instant!" Ethan's eye's darkened when he gazed down at her luscious red lips. Before he knew it, his mouth captured her lips in a warm sweet kiss.
