Chapter 66

HAPPY READING

Jungkook was in a good mood because he was going home early.

'Today, we can have dinner and take a walk together.'

When they were in Roam, they regularly ate dinner together but nowadays, it was difficult to do even that. He was needlessly busy with something.

When he got home, there was a lot of work to do. At that thought, his mood darkened slightly but still, he liked the fact that he was going home so his mood quickly lightened up.

He would have felt even better if he didn't meet a certain person when he turned at the corner of the hallway.

'Somehow, today is a bit annoying.'

Jungkook thought as he looked at the woman, Yoonjung, who was looking at him with wide eyes. He didn't want his return to be disturbed twice.

Yoonjung called out to stop Jungkook as he was simply going to pass by.

"Your Grace. I hope you have been well. It has been a long time."

Jungkook was forced to stop as he could not outrightly ignore her in a public.

"It is late, but congratulations on your marriage." 

"Congratulations from me as well. I heard you have become a Countess."

Count Alvin, the man Yoonjung married, was a rich merchant. In the economic field, he was ranked quite high in terms of importance. Since Jungkook steadily got information about influential nobles in politics, economy and so on, he had already heard that Count Alvin had gotten married to the daughter of Baron Lawrence.

"...Yes. Thank you...for the congratulations. I am in the palace today to meet Her Highness the Queen."

Jungkook was not interested in whatever business Yoonjung was visiting the palace for. His mind was focused on rushing home.

Yoonjung was still as beautiful as ever. Those passing by could not take their eyes off her. Yoonjung's beauty drew the attention of both men and women. After experiencing the pain of heart-break, a sense of melancholy was added onto that beauty, shaking up the hearts of men. Even though she was married, Yoonjung still received the love letters of many men when she attended balls.

Yoonjung's beauty did not enter Jungkook's eyes. His eyes could see Yoonjung but his head was filled with the thoughts of his wife. On the contrary, the more he talked with the woman, the more he missed his wife. He did not see Yoonjung looking at him with a sad look in her eyes.

Seeing his cold red eyes, Yoonjung was shocked. She was yet to abandon her lingering affection, always thinking 'maybe...'. She harbored expectations that maybe if they met again after a long time, he would also be slightly shaken by memories of the past.

However, his attitude as he offered his congratulations on her marriage was clean without a doubt. She was only one that spent long sleepless nights, and was unable to let go even after marriage.
