The Villain's Wife

55

"Nancy, this is not about you," Kai said calmly. "It's for our child. You can always attend events after you give birth, but now you're at a crucial phase of your pregnancy. We need you to be extra careful."

"Hmph!" Nancy crossed her arms across her chest and looked at Chaerin. "I will try and convince Father to give Hongjoong the CEO position as soon as possible." Won-Young doted on Nancy so much. This was a fact that everyone in the family knew; this was also the reason why Chaerin wanted her daughter to help her convince her husband.

"It's just the start of the third quarter, and Kim Industries are showing some signs of progress. I doubt Father would agree to your requests that easily. He would want to make sure that the company would run smoothly first," Kai said.

"Just whose side are you on?" It was Nancy. She had not missed her husband calling Jennie by her first name. Remembering Jennie's smile made Nancy more furious. "That woman is already married! And I bet she married an old, influential man to back her up, so you better stop this nonsense!"

In response, Kai let out a sigh before shaking his head. He then shoved his hands into his pockets. "I will go get ready for work. I already asked the attendant to make your favorite breakfast," he said before leaving Nancy and Chaerin by themselves. He had every reason to be irritated, but he knew Nancy's jealousy was fueled by the fact that she had been insecure lately. Plus, his mother had been visiting the house daily, making his wife more uncomfortable as a result.

....

Nancy glared at Kai's retreating back before looking at her mother. "Jennie must be very happy that she caused us a lot of stress!"

"Nancy... I think you are too much. You should treat your husband well. I can see that he is exhausted too," Chaerin said while stroking Nancy's hands. "I know that he spoils you a lot. But I don't want Lina to say something about you bullying your husband," she smiled at her daughter. Now that the Lee Family was done for, only the Kim/Yang Family was supporting the Kim Family.

In response, Nancy slowly nodded at her mother's words. To be honest, she could feel Kai's exhaustion from taking care of her but for some reason, she still felt that he deserved her wrath for withholding information from her, causing her to be humiliated in the process. To Nancy, she was just punishing her husband, ah.

Of course, this did not mean that Nancy was faking her irritability. She really was irritated, and this was because every now and then, Jennie's smiling face would show up inside her mind. What was more irritating is that her husband would just agree to whatever she said, nodding his head and stroking her back like a robot! Who wanted to talk to a robot? Certainly not Nancy.

But this didn't mean that she wasn't guilty. Lately, Nancy had been very demanding. She would want for Kai to cook her favorite food and sometimes feed her. She would also ask him to massage her swollen feet and do other menial things that she could think of. Though Nancy knew that her husband was exhausted from work, this did not stop her from 'punishing' him.

Nancy let out another sigh as she thought about how her husband had been spoiling her lately, giving her all that she wanted. While she, Nancy , had been acting like a stupid, spoiled wife. Of course, she blamed all of this on Jennie. If it weren't for Jennie, none of this would have happened.

"I will arrange for dinner tonight. Please tell Father that I want the two of you to come," Nancy said.

Chaerin softly nodded before she asked, "Are you planning to attend the launch?"

"I am still thinking about it. If I don't show up, that woman might think that I fear her," Nancy said. "Mother... this is just... I don't know! I hate her, and I want to tear that smile off her face!"
