The Bumpy Road Of Marriage [S2] | Taerose

Chapter 3: Flashback

Six years ago (Past)

The sea breeze blew lightly and white silk curtains gently danced in the breeze.

There was a woman sleeping on the elegant princess bed with her arms placed on her lower abdomen.

Bai Ying leaned against the bed, snoring gently. She woke up when the servants came in.

"Madam."

"What time is it?" Bai Ying frowned and reached out to check the pulse in Chaeyoung's wrist.

"It is already three o'clock," the maid replied as she helped Bai Ying get out of bed. "Why didn't madam inform Mr. Kim that the young mistress is still alive?"

"If a person can't even explain himself clearly, how can he remember this if I don't let him learn his lesson first?" Bai Ying asked tartly as she got out of bed and put on her shoes. She turned around and looked at Chaeyoung who was still lying in bed.

She frowned as she stared at Chaeyoung.

She had not found In-sung yet. Even though Mark was dead, the elders were not people that she could easily deal with on her own.

Moreover, those elders were all watching her intently. How could she keep Chaeyoung by her side?

Bai Ying lowered her body to touch Chaeyoung's cheek.

"If you still refuse to wake up, then I will have to take these two babies off you myself," Bai Ying murmured as she reached out and touched Chaeyoung's belly.

It had been three months since she rescued Chaeyoung from the sea but she had not woken up yet.

Bai Ying knew Chaeyoung had not woken up because she was mentally unwilling to wake up.

Seulgi's words had completely torn her apart.

She did not know how to deal with the fact that her father was Kim Taehyung's enemy.

Additionally, she could not face the reality that she had killed someone.

After all, she had never even seen a gun before this.

However, Bai Ying knew that Chaeyoung could no longer stay here. If the elders found out about her existence, then even as her mother, she would not be able to protect her.

Chaeyoung must wake up.

Bai Ying pressed Chaeyoung's lower abdomen harder. "Chaeyoung, these two babies are growing strongly inside of you but they will lose their lives soon because you are a coward."

Bai Ying's voice was not loud, but it sounded distant.

Suddenly, someone held Bai Ying's hand that was on top of Chaeyoung's abdomen.

Chaeyoung's eyes seemed to twitch a little, but quickly returned to normal.

Bai Ying was stunned and looked up at the person who had gripped her hand.

"Aunt." The man holding Bai Ying's hand was looking at her with disapproval on his face.

The man was wearing a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses. His nose was sharp and he had fair skin with lips that were shaped like wings.

Jeon Jungkook. He was the General Manager of the World Bank in the Asia Pacific Region.

He was also the orphan son of In-sung's sister.

Bai Ying took back her hand. "When did you come back?"

"Only just now. Aunt, you really did it this time. I fear that Chaeyoung will blame you when she wakes up," Jungkook glanced at the woman who was lying on the bed. He reached out and covered her with the quilt.

"I will take Chaeyoung away, you don't have to worry," Jungkook said softly as he looked at Chaeyoung, his younger cousin.

He had always wondered how Seulgi could be his cousin when she looked so bitter.

This was his real cousin. The one with a likable face.

"Have you found Seulgi yet?" Bai Ying suddenly asked.

Jungkook reluctantly looked away from Chaeyoung. In the past, he could only see his cousin sister in the news or tabloids. Now that his cousin sister had finally returned to their side, he could not take his gaze off her.

"No, there is no news of her at all," Jungkook said as he shook his head. "I have searched many different places but it seems like she disappeared completely."

Bai Ying looked at Chaeyoung and said, "Seulgi is a cunning and insidious woman. As long as she is alive, she will always remain a threat to Chaeyoung."
