When The Phone Rings / The Call You Just Made Is

Chapter 21 His Silent Anger

Baek Sa-eon is a person who is extremely indifferent to everything except himself.

Even when signing the marriage contract, and in countless activities, he never took the initiative to care about Hee-joo.

Even when he was engaged to Sister In-ah, he was an indifferent person who only cared about drinking water.

"My wife has her own voice that needs to be translated."

He grabbed Hee-joo's hand with a gloomy face.

"If you want to run for president, you should at least understand the social atmosphere before speaking." 

"What?"

"If I were your advisor, I would have told you to shut up long ago." 

"You...!"

"If you don't have an assistant who dares to speak out, you are wasting money now." 

"....."

"Then, the stud will do what the stud should do now."

Hee-joo was pulled by him and almost dragged away.

This was the first time since her marriage that she left the seat before her in-laws. The man who pulled Hee-joo out of the door took the elevator silently.

'My hand hurts...!'

She tried to break free from the grabbed hand, but the more she resisted, the tighter her wrist was clamped. The blood in her hand stopped flowing, and the strange temperature made her feel extremely unfamiliar. For some reason, her heartbeat began to accelerate.

"Hong Hee-joo, do you really want to divorce me?" 

"......!"

Her knees almost lost their support, and her stiff eyes met his.

"But you were pulled in to replace your missing sister--" 

"…..."

"And you can't say a word at all."

He pressed the button on the first floor with his fist.

"Even if your parents-in-law barked like mad dogs, you didn't dare to say a word." 

"......!"

The cold voice pierced her head like an ice cone.

"As expected."

He lowered his head, suddenly glanced at Hee-joo's face, and then smacked his lips lightly in dissatisfaction.
"Don't even cry."

Baek Sa-eon hurt Hee-joo's heart with sharp words, but he never loosened his clenched hands. The touch of cold and warmth made her unable to move.

"Nothing has changed, nothing has changed--" 

"……."

"But why is it so annoying?"

He stared at her from head to toe as if he was looking for something wrong, and Hee-joo felt a chill and her shoulders trembled involuntarily.

'No, I should say that...!'

Anyone could see that the strangest person recently was her husband. Ever since he started receiving threatening calls, he behaved as if a wrong button had been pressed.

They talked, ate, and even exchanged glances like this, as if the past three years of silence were all fake.

"Blue House sign language interpreter." 

"......!"

Hee-joo felt a shudder at the word for some reason. 

"If you're really in a hurry, come up by yourself."
