My Husband's Scandal

Chapter 4: Under the Spotlight

"How great your skin is, you're so beautiful."

One of the staff at the shop spoke with admiration.

"I thought your bare face was pretty, but with makeup, you're truly a goddess."

As more staff flocked around, Yoon only felt uncomfortable. Yoon didn't like such attention.

"Now, come this way. Mrs. Kim has prepared an outfit for you."

Following the staff member, she put on the clothes prepared by Kim Seo Jung, and she was indeed the precious youngest daughter of a wealthy house.

The natural makeup that emphasized her innocent face, and letting her usually tied up long hair loose with lovely waves created a fresh and elegant atmosphere.

On top of that, she wore a neutral- colored flared dress that matched her fair, translucent skin tone, making her so perfect that everyone was pouring out admiration.

"Oh my, this dress isn't easy to pull off unless you're exceptional, but it really suits you. You're so beautiful."

At that moment, Kim Seo Jung's secretary entered the shop. He was there to escort her to the venue in case she went off track.

"Let's go."

Seo Jung's secretary escorted her to the car.

She entered the hotel, which was the chosen venue. The thought of her confrontation with Kim Seo Jung here just a short while ago involuntarily made Yoon's face grimace.

Guided by the staff into the room, Cha Yoo Hyun hadn't arrived yet. When a staff member pulled out a chair for her, Yoon quietly sat down. The agreed time had already passed, but no one showed up.

'He's late.'

While checking the time, Yoon began to wonder what she was doing here at this moment.

Yoon felt empty knowing that a relationship she thought was completely over could be reconnected at any time due to their needs. It was a relationship she couldn't refuse.

She could bear it alone somehow, but thinking of Ho Sik and Ok Soon, she couldn't. She was the type who could harm the two of them anytime. Hence, she concluded that she inevitably had to get married as Seo Jung demanded.

Yoon had searched for Cha Yoo Hyun before coming. He was 14 years older than her. Still, at least he didn't seem like a bad person from the photos.

The thought of hoping he wouldn't be a strange person came to mind, but it was just absurd thinking about having to marry someone she didn't know like this.

'What will become of me?'

She was only scared of what kind of events might be waiting for her once she got married.

When she first stepped into the palace- like house in Seongbuk- dong at the age of 12, she was swollen with expectation at the shiny exterior and crossed the grand gate.

She had thought that despite having lived in poverty and pity until now, she would live like a princess under a wealthy father.

However, what awaited her was a cruel reality. She had to endure every day amidst contempt, cold treatment, ridicule, and hunger.

'Sigh...'

Yoon sighed, thinking that this marriage might be the same.

'No. I'm an adult now. It's different from then.'

Just as Yoon was comforting herself after taking a sip from the water glass in front of her, the door swung open, and someone came in.

'Kang Hyun oppa?'
