CHAPTERS
Now that I was no longer expected to take part in the conversation, I let out a quiet sigh of relief. It seemed I’d made it through unscathed. I had no idea what Baek Jinseok was really thinking, but he certainly looked pleased, and that was enough. Dinner was relatively cheerful. Though Baek Jaehan and Baek Sujin would usually bare their teeth and snarl at each other the moment they met, they were on their best behavior in front of Baek Jinseok. They exchanged meaningful barbs, scratched at…- 281.3 K • Completed
- Both of Baek Sujin’s sons were alphas, and her eldest, Baek Unhyeon, was not only good-looking and intelligent, but also a model student who never caused trouble. Although Baek Sujin usually attended family gatherings alone, it was said, ironically, that she actually had a fairly decent relationship with her ex-husband. Considering she had kept him, a former chief prosecutor, in charge of the legal team at the distribution division, there were even rumors that their divorce had been for show. At…

- Even if having an affair was physically impossible, sabotaging Jeong Suchan’s business was entirely within reach. One way to do that was by going after the scandal-ridden private life of Jeong Guhyeon. Jeong Suchan knew that perfectly well. He blamed his eldest son for messing up again, then cursed his younger son for failing to appease Baek Mugyeong. “I hope we won’t have any more unpleasantness between us.” After issuing his final warning, Baek Mugyeong didn’t even touch the tea Jeong…

- Baek Jaehan did not want Baek Mugyeong to gain power through marriage with a well-connected family. So when the chairman of the Daesong Group asked him to look into a marriage partner for Baek Mugyeong, he found me. My background was nothing special, just a modest mid-sized company, and my biological father’s declining business certainly wouldn’t have caught the chairman’s eye. But the Jeong family bloodline had one special trait. Direct-line omegas were guaranteed to give birth to alphas…

- Baek Mugyeong must have picked up on the sharp look in my eyes. “Is something wrong?” “Do you really have to ask… Haa.” My trembling voice felt so humiliating that I let out a deep breath. I couldn’t afford to be emotional at a time like this. “Jeong Minchae?” “I’m just… not feeling great. Thank you for the gift.” I suppressed the urge to tell him to shove it and instead calmly offered my thanks. Then I stared straight at him. It was my way of saying, You threw…

- The lunch menu was steak at the hotel restaurant. Choi Jaeha, who swore the meat here was excellent, looked a complete mess from a hangover. “I feel sick…” But instead of touching the steak he’d boasted about, he just spooned a bit of soup and wore a miserable expression. We’d had a time like this in the previous timeline too, after drinking way too much and suffering the next day. I smiled quietly. Even then, Jaeha had sipped soup and whined in a half-dead voice about how his stomach…

- “Did you… hear about my academic background too?” I squeezed out the courage to ask. Since Baek Mugyeong had clearly caught on when Jeong Guhyeon mentioned the Carva Hotel, then surely he’d also heard about my education. It was deeply embarrassing, but I had to confirm it. Honestly, if this could be grounds for divorce, I wouldn’t mind. Baek Mugyeong, who had been setting his phone down on the table, looked at me. I’d always thought this, but his sharp gaze felt like it could see…

- “Do you need me to explain any further?” Baek Mugyeong’s tone came off extremely unpleasant. Maybe I was just being sensitive, but it felt like he was saying If you don’t get it, you must be an idiot. Honestly, I understood what the situation was. But before the regression, when I used to hang out with Choi Jaeha, no one stopped me. Or maybe, I had just failed to notice. Back then, I was pretty much a fool who took everything at face value, unable to grasp what was really going on…

- Choi Jaeha, who had just made the ultimate statement of lookism, took another sip of his drink. As he said, not just alphas but most omegas tended to have good physiques by default. Still, it was also true that someone as good-looking as Baek Mugyeong was rare. I had to admit objectively that Baek Mugyeong was handsome, but it was also a fact that his looks were as sharp as his personality. There was a reason why the wedding photographer had joked that he looked like he might pull a gun. If it hadn’t…

- To be honest, my biological father had pressured me outright, asking if I could attend the church event with Baek Mugyeong. But I flatly refused, saying I had asked Baek Mugyeong and he said no. Of course, I had never asked him. My father nagged, asking how I couldn’t even sway my own husband’s heart despite being newlyweds, but I let it go in one ear and out the other. “So… do you and the guy you married not do anything for Christmas?” My younger brother glanced at me nervously and asked…
