His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 129: Did my ladies miss me?

"Mommy, when will daddy come?" Little Hae asks her mother in her room.

Kyuri doesn't know who Little Hae wants to see. "Always playing with only daddy... what about me? Little Hae doesn't love me more than she loves her daddy."

"Mommy, Little Hae loves you." Little Hae is trying to make complete a puzzle picture. A piece doesn't seem to fit no matter how much she tries. "Little Hae loves Daddy more."

'Who do you love more?' Kyuri wants to ask Little Hae. She also knows that she won't be happy to hear either name. She mumbles, "Little Hae, I am sorry."

Little Hae doesn't hear her. She is occupied with the puzzle. Annoyed, she puts away the puzzle piece that couldn't fit and looks for the other one that could fit.

Young Hwa opens the door and walks in. He grins at them. "Did my ladies miss me?"

Little Hae jumps on her feet. "Daddy is here."

For some time, Young Hwa has been busy. At first, it was his father's sickness. When things got better, there were some emergencies in business. He couldn't spend much time with her. He swings Little Hae around and gives her a bear hug.

Kyuri watches them laugh. She walks out of the room, leaving them alone. Young Hwa notices her resigned expression. Afraid, he puts down Little Hae and tells her to play alone for a while. She nods at him. She also wants to finish the puzzle to see the complete picture. She runs back to finish it first.

Young Hwa goes to her room. She is standing near the window with an unreadable face. He sits down on the bed and watches her back.

He wonders if he should just tell her the truth. It's hard to face her. Can he stand next to her tomorrow with this guilty heart? Maybe she can already sense it. The bandage around her head is another question. If she met Jae Kyung, then... "How did you get hurt?"

"Cancel the wedding," She tells him with a monotonous voice. "I can't marry you."

His heart drops to his stomach. She knows. Jae Kyung must have said something. Then, it's Jae Kyung who hurt her. "What did he do to you?"

She turns around and looks at him. Under her penetrating gaze, he feels heavier. "Young Hwa, let's stop."

"You aren't answering my question." Young Hwa raises his voice. "What did he do to you and why?"

"He texted me using your phone. He called me to his room. He's the one who did this and I am the reason why he's at the hospital. He will not wake up." She has done the same thing to the time-crystal plant. That old thing didn't leave. She has no doubt that Jae Kyung wouldn't live either. She doesn't know how to save him either. "How about you become honest with me? You are not meeting my gaze."

He covers his face and lets out an exasperated sigh. "Jae Kyung did something to my drinks. I don't know why Yeon Seo came to that room. I thought that she was you."

She leans against the wall. She's not angry or hurt. She did feel torrents of emotions last night. After seeing Young Hwa, she's calmer. That's why she knows that it's not working out. She's been forcing herself to love him for the sake of Little Hae, thinking that love would happen eventually. She did rely on him. She also likes him.

"Kyuri, don't cancel the wedding." He walks to her side. "It was Jae Kyung's plotting. He used Yeon Seo against me. Please believe me. I would never cheat on you."

"I believe you. Still, I don't want to go ahead with the wedding." She pulls away from him. "Young Hwa, I am not canceling it because what happened between you and Yeon Seo."

Jae Kyung must have done something. She understands that much.

"Why?" He stares at her with his creased forehead.

"When I found out, I was relieved." She looks into his eyes. "As your wife, I should not be relieved that you slept with someone else. However, I am. I don't feel jealous. I was unhappy last night, but it was not the pain that a woman suffers when she finds out that her husband was with someone else. I tried, but I am incapable of..."

"Loving me." He finishes her words. He has been afraid of telling her. She didn't feel anything about it. She's right. She shouldn't be calm after hearing about what happened. She should be angry or beating him up.

"Then, do you love Kang Si An?"

"I don't," She replies with an unwavering voice. There's not a moment of hesitation. Whatever it is between her and Kang Si An, it is only a lingering attachment. That's it.

"Then, I still have a chance." He is not giving up. He won't let one night to ruin everything he has with Kyuri. "Let's cancel the wedding. Come to my house with Little Hae. We have been caring about the formalities too much. You and I are already married. Maybe you cannot feel like a wife because you and I haven't been living like one."

"Young Hwa." Kyuri frowns at him. "I don't think that we would work out."

"We didn't try enough." He holds her hands. "I apologize for what happened last night. I will never do it with a sane mind. The woman I want to be with is you. A second chance for us... Kyuri. We will live together without anyone's interference. Then, it will become clear whether we can work out or not."
