Chapter 252:

Caught off guard by the unexpected situation, Lee-yeon was rendered speechless by the document in front of her.

A marriage registration form?

Tears that were about to surface retreated.

Fill in the blanks nicely and sign it when you speak nicely.

Are you threatening me?

Once, she had been forced to sign in a similar way by Kwon Kiseok, accepting the role of a puppet. Of course, the circumstances were entirely different from back then, but her body couldnt help but shiver at the memory.

At the moment when subtle discomfort began to surface on her face, Kwon Chae-woo sat by the bedside and gently smoothed her hair, trying to comfort her. However, his lowered gaze was strangely eerie.

Lee-yeon, I will live like your servant.

!

Instead, I need to make sure you become my master first.

Because if I make a mistake, Ill end up like a dog chasing a chicken.

Kwon Chae-woo grabbed her soft hand and pressed it against his neck as if to show her.

Lee-yeon, dont hesitate and hold me..

!

His throbbing pulse brushed against her fingertips.

I really wanted to live decently. But, as you can see, it didnt work out well.

Kwon Chae-woo didnt want to recall Kwon Kiseok in this way, but in the brief moment when the light vanished from Lee-yeons eyes, he felt the impulse to forcibly claim her soul, to imprison her and render her unable to do anything.

If even sunlight could provoke her, he was ready to block off everything around her.

Yet, to avoid following Kwon Kiseoks fate, he struggled and wandered, searching for his own answer. The document he brought was his attempt to find that answer.

The night sky was strangely red. The whole world seemed like the apple of his eyes.

Still, wait and see; Ill never leave you alone.

As he uttered these words, the dreamlike remnants buried in Lee-yeons dream seemed to vanish instantly.

Even if I die a hundred times, Ill live and die as your husband.

He declared with bloodshot eyes.

Even though his relentless grip made it hard to breathe, the unfamiliar comfort that permeated her entire body felt like nothing she had ever experienced.

Lee-yeon finally wanted to stop the bridge that had been floating for a long time in this place.

Her eyelashes slowly moistened.

The words I wanted to say to Mr. Chae-woo are

He swallowed nervously as if tense.

Thank you for saving me.

!

Until the end, for not leaving her alone in the flames. It was a mix of dreams and reality.

Thanks to you, Mr. Chae-woo, I survived.

Even if Lee-yeon was mercilessly exiled from somewhere in her world, Kwon Chae-woo was a man who would gladly embrace her ugly and dirty self.

With confidence in his heart, Lee-yeon wanted to build a new home for them. Her little family.
