The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 5

Chapter 850: Begin Again (2)

Krystal nodded as she lowered her gaze sadly and silently sighed. "Mm-hmm."

She picked up her steps and continued walking ahead, her sad voice coming through. "I've been thinking a lot recently. I thought about the past and the present. Actually, when Kai asked for a divorce from me, I should've understood that I've pushed myself to the edge. However, then, I still refused to see that I was wrong. I didn't know how to see the truth. Only when I really lost him and the child did I know..."

When she said this, Krystal suddenly stopped walking. She lowered her head and stared at her hands that were open before her. Her voice that trembled slightly contained a hint of sorrow as she choked on her sobs. "Did I know that... I ruined all of this on my own. I pushed myself to the edge... Father, I feel so helpless right now. I miss Kai so much. I miss my son so much... I wish I could return to the past... When Kai left, he did give me a chance, but I...I..."

At this point, Krystal already could not help as tears streamed down her face. She could not continue.

Hyunbin stood with his hands behind his back as he turned to look at Krystal who was crying silently. After a while, he sighed and handed her a tissue from his pocket. "Here."

Krystal sniffed. She looked up with red eyes at Hyunbin and accepted it after a long while.

Hyunbin did not take another glance at her. He only stood with hands behind his back as he continued walking ahead. Krystal followed unhurriedly behind him.

"It's good that you could figure this all out yourself. I hope that the grudges between your mother and I can end here too. There's no need to meet again. As for your matters with Jennie, I've promised Jennie not to interfere in the past. Unexpectedly, things still played out the way it did today." Hyunbin sighed. "You're like your mother. You won't spare tricks to achieve your aims. That's how you caused today's tragedy."

"Father..."

"I should take some responsibility for the Kim family suffering today's misfortune. I didn't perform my duties well, and I almost didn't even get the chance to make up for it. Krystal, I hope that you won't take the same path as your mother. I hope that you'll have a different ending from the one she did."

As Hyunbin said that, he suddenly turned to look at Krystal.

"Father, do you think I still have a chance? Do I still have a chance to redeem myself?" Krystal looked nervously at Hyunbin, her hollow heart desperately needing a sliver of courage.

"Once, I also thought that your aunt and I wouldn't have a chance to start over again, but now we have reconciled." Hyunbin's deep voice had a hint of gratitude. He paused, then continued, "Losing is terrifying, but what's even more terrifying is standing in the same spot and watching it leave you without knowing how to get it back."

"Father... I... I'm afraid he doesn't want me anymore, and I fear later my son will abandon me too..." Krystal said as she choked on her sobs and teared up.

"If you don't go looking for them, you'll lose them forever. Let the miserable past stay in the past. The fact that you came today shows that you're probably aware of your errors. It's a good thing to want to turn over a new leaf. This is positive luck for you. Understand?"

Krystal sniffled and nodded through misty, teary eyes.

"Alright, the past won't repeat itself. There's still the future, so you'll have to choose how you want to live it, mmm?" Hyunbin said earnestly and then took in a deep breath before he took a look at Krystal and patted her on the shoulder. Then, he silently turned around to leave with hands behind his back, leaving her standing all alone on the empty pathway.

After a while, Krystal wiped away her tears, and when she turned to look, she only saw Hyunbin's faint, frail back...

When he reached home, Ye-Jin was standing at the balcony enjoying the scenery. Hyunbin went over to join her and could still see Krystal's figure leaving slowly.

Ye-Jin had a calm expression. Hyunbin carefully turned to look at her for a long while. He could not read anything from her expression, so he thought about it, then said, "I can tell that she's regretful. I hope she won't be like her mother. She hopes that I can go take a look at Chaerin."

"Why don't you go then?" Ye-Jin looked at him with an indifferent expression.

"Ye-Jin, I love you. That's a fact that has never changed. Do you understand?" Hyunbin thought that she was annoyed, so he frowned helplessly.

Ye-Jin lowered her gaze, lifting her hands to hold onto the chilly railing as she quietly looked down in the direction of Krystal's figure moving gradually away. She said a little difficulty, "Those three words are too heavy."

"Yes, to us, they are all too heavy. That's why I'm grateful."

Hyunbin's silent eyes could not help but flash with tenderness as he silently looked at Ye-Jin beside him.

Ye-Jin's beautiful face rippled with a smile. "But just like that, many years have passed. We've lost the things we should have. We didn't have a chance to experience all the beautiful times we once fantasized about having."

"Who says we've lost our chance to? We still have time now. Come with me!" Hyunbin looked at the side of her face that seemed faintly sad, and his heart hurt. His hands could not help but reach over to gently hold her hand as he pulled her inside.

Ye-Jin was surprised. "Where are you bringing me?"

"You'll know if you come with me," Hyunbin said to her before he dragged her out through the door.

Ye-Jin naturally felt a little awkward as he pulled her all the way. She tried to struggle for a bit, but he locked his grip onto her so tightly that she could not wiggle free. It was a good thing that it was lunch break, so there were not many people on the road.

Hyunbin brought Ye-Jin through the forest of peach trees. Soon, they reached outside the school piano room.

It was only when Hyunbin pulled Ye-Jin to sit down before a shiny piano that she fell into a daze. Her beautiful eyes shifted as she stared stunned at Hyunbin beside her while his long fingers were already on the piano keys. A series of alluring musical notes poured out...

This song was, of course, one that Ye-Jin was familiar with. In fact, Hyunbin had frequently played this for her back then. She had not heard this song for a very, very long time. It had been so long that she had even forgotten the last time she listened to it. It might have been ten or twenty years ago, or even longer than that...

Right here waiting...
