[2] The Substitute Wife

CHAPTER 207

With a calm expression on his face, Bambam raised his hands and pushed Choi Jeongyeon away from his arms slightly. "Choi Jeongyeon."

When Choi Jeongyeon heard Bambam call her name, she lifted her head and gazed at him with her teary eyes. "Bambam." After she said this, tears poured down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Bambam lowered his head and gazed at Choi Jeongyeon's face for some time before he lifted his hands to wipe away her tears. His actions were gentle. For all the years that Choi Jeongyeon had been with him, this was the one and only time that she had felt a sense of gentleness from him. She was instantly stunned. Although she was in the police station right now, her heart could not help but flutter from an indescribable sense of excitement and joy.

"Choi Jeongyeon." Bambam repeated her name once more while looking at her with the same expression. After some time, he finally said, "You planned for those three men to try and get Lisa Lim over to your house?"

"Mm-hmm," Choi Jeongyeon acknowledged with a nasal tone as she nodded her head lightly.

"What did you intend to do with her once she was at your house?" Bambam asked.

Choi Jeongyeon shook her head and replied in a soft voice, "I didn't intend to do anything. I merely wanted to have a chat with her..."

As if Bambam didn't hear her answer, he continued to pick up on his line of questioning. "You wanted to get her over to your house to use her to threaten me into marrying you. Am I right?"

Choi Jeongyeon was dumbfounded that he was reciting her plan to her.

"You clearly called the kidnappers and instructed them to bring her to your house, but until now you hadn't figured out what had gone wrong and why it's now a case of abduction... Am I correct?"

Choi Jeongyeon hesitated for some time before she eventually nodded her head lightly. "Yes. I really did not intend to kidnap her. I truly have no idea why it's turned out like this. Nobody believes me. Bambam, the policemen don't believe me either..."

"I believe you," Bambam said suddenly.

A glow of hope appeared in Choi Jeongyeon's eyes, and she called out Bambam's name in a tone that was brimming with emotions before she said, "Bambam, you're not lying to me, are you? You really believe me, don't you?"

"Yes, I do." Bambam nodded his head without hesitation.

Once again, tears trickled down the corner of Choi Jeongyeon's eyes. "Bambam, you'll help me, won't you?"

Bambam shook his head and the corners of his lower lip curled up slightly as if he was mocking Choi Jeongyeon for her foolishness. "Choi Jeongyeon, do you think that I would actually help you? I wonder sometimes if a dog ate your brain. Even up to this point, you still don't get it, do you?"

Choi Jeongyeon was stunned once again. "Bambam..."

"Have you thought about why your plans changed and how I knew about them in the first place?"

Choi Jeongyeon's body began to tremble violently. She then looked into Bambam's eyes incredulously. She stared at the warm, gentle face that she had been infatuated with since her days of youth up until now, and the expression in her eyes wavered for a very long time before she eventually staggered a step backward and muttered, "So, you mean that you used my phone to contact the kidnappers?"

As she said this, Choi Jeongyeon recalled that she had bumped into Bambam at a drinking session some time ago. She had drunk a lot of alcohol by then, and it had not been difficult to pretend that she was drunk as she had laid in his arms. He had been the one who had eventually sent her home
