—— They Are Really Her Husband And Child !

She anticipated his denial, perhaps he'd show some surprise, or ask why she asked such a ridiculous question. However, none of that happened. In the end, his answer was simple and crude.

She was really his wife. The man who was still unfamiliar to her was her husband, and she also had a child with him. "You... What did you remember?" He looked a little solemn, tone seemed tense. This kind of nervous demeanor should not have appeared on a man like him. 

He was the calm and poised kind who could handle all disturbances with ease. But, strangely, like her elder sister, he was afraid of what she'd remembered. Lisa closed her eyes and shook her head. "It was just a fragment. I was sitting in a room, drinking. I had a cigarette in my hand, Jae-joon ran over, I tried to push him away, but the cigarette butt burned his arm. I heard him call me mommy... there's just this one fragment."

He did not speak, and the car fell into a repressive silence." I'm wondering since I am Jae-joon's mother, why does he pretend not to know me?" She looked up at him and said, "Why does Mr. Jeon pretend not to know me?"

He smiled a faint smile, so faint that it was almost impossible to see that he was smiling. "It's not necessary."

"Why is it not necessary?" His narrow eyes fell on her, deep and dignified as if to gauge the depths of her soul. He said, "You hate me and also Jae."

Lisa, "—"

He added. "I don't want you to know about our relationship. I'm afraid you're thinking about your hatred for us, but we still want to be close to you, so we can only do as such." There was a heaviness in his voice as if it was pounding the heart.

Hate him... hate Jae?

"Why would I hate?" He leaned his head against his seat and looked at the roof of the car, his smile seemed to be mocking himself. "Probably because you want a divorce and I've always disagreed."

Too strange, everything he told her is simply too strange. This is just a dream, an unrealistic dream, how could she intersect with such a man? Hate him... hate Jungkook? This outstanding but unreachable man, not only did she hate him but also wanted to divorce him?

It was as if these things were happening in another world, a world that had nothing to do with her, one she could not understand and was baffled by. "Then how do we know each other?"

"Met by chance, and then we were together."

"Is that all?"

"That's all." Lisa couldn't believe it. She had suffered a misfortune five years ago. Jae looked almost three or four years old. If she really wanted to marry him and have children, she would have had to know him and marry him almost immediately after her misfortune.

If, as her elder sister told her, she was betrayed by her first love and friends when her life fell to a low point, how could she come out and find someone to marry in such a short time? Was it because she was hit so hard that she wanted to find someone casually for her life? However, she absolutely did not believe that she was such a person.

And a man like Jungkook was not the kind that any girl could climb up to. He had a bright mind and a unique vision. He had been only 20 years old when he had taken over the family business ten years ago. However, despite his young age, he was able to make the company bigger and stronger step by step, and even successfully go public. His vision and methods were absolutely incomparable to ordinary people. How could such a bright entrepreneur decide his marriage so casually?
