The Divorced Man Has Returned - The Divorced Man Has Returned chapter 121

#121. Why…

“Why…”

I bit my lip, holding the one-line pregnancy test in my hand.

It was a plan that did not allow even an inch of error.

It took a long time and meticulously prepared for that, and there was no problem in actually implementing him.

But why is there no response…

“Ha…”

With a deep sigh, I picked up my phone and connected to the Internet.

It’s been a week, but still, her interest in Yoo Si-hwa and the mysterious man who defeated Crop Toss with her did not fade.

According to the eyewitnesses, black magic was raging, and just by listening to that one line, I could immediately infer the assistant who helped Yu Shi-hwa.

…I don’t know the skills of the man who was my husband.

Of course, none of my acquaintances could identify that it was Inwook.

It was against common sense.

Which academy freshman can save a whole city?

However, surprisingly, In-wook and Yoo Shi-hwa inherited the memories of their previous lives, so they made the impossible possible with overwhelming force.

I should have been there…

Of course, even if I couldn’t show off as much force as Yoo Shi-hwa, I would have been able to play an active part.

I felt hesitant about my judgment for a moment, but then I shook my head.

Looking at Yoo Shi-hwa’s appearance now, it was absolutely impossible to do that.

I didn’t even have to look for it, but I was the one who watched the video of her answering the interview over and over again.

Perhaps there are many more if you search.

Living so caught up in schedules is nothing but drastically reducing the time you spend with Inwook.

She was the one who risked her life for her achievements and fame, so I thought that maybe Yoo Si-hwa could enjoy the situation now.

But now was the time to worry about me, not hers.

What was the problem…

Of course, if it was just a coincidence that she didn’t get pregnant, that would be nice, but if it was a physical defect in one of us, things got complicated.

In fact, what if Inwook’s test result on that day had been false…?

Or not, if the infertility of this life is not for Inwook…

Inwook is healthy, but what if I am not?

I’ve always thought I was healthy, so I’ve never approached it that way.

But I thought that it was not an impossible story.

We were already reset once in our lives.

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

No matter what happens, it will not be strange.

“No… It can’t be… Harin-ah…”

I bit my nails, trying to control my anxious mind.

You know it’s healthy. Nothing wrong with it…

I wanted to see In-wook’s face, caressing her belly for nothing.

I picked up her cell phone and tried to contact him again casually.

It was a time when certainty was needed.

“…I know.”

Jena meeting again for the first time since visiting Busan.

Even so, I was planning to tell her Harin and Jena about her events as it is, so I brought her to a sushi restaurant in her room with a very good atmosphere.

It was quite expensive, but it was very important to block others from hearing our conversations.

She was gibberish because she wanted to know where to start, but as soon as Jena heard my explanation, she just spat out those four letters indifferently.

“…When did you know?”

“As soon as the name Yoo Shi-hwa caught the news?”

It was a moment when I felt strangely stupid as I was nervous about something.

“So. How long do you plan on not revealing it?”

Jenna, who lightly dips a piece of sashimi in soy sauce with chopsticks, asked me.

“As far as possible.”

“How can you make such a fuss and hope you don’t get caught?”

Jena teased me with a look that she ate.

“You know why I hate being famous.”

All of my daily life becomes an article.

My family is consumed as gossip.

“Then I guess I was alone. Do one of the two.”

It was a very commonsense word, but at the same time it was difficult to keep.

“…But you can’t just let that big city get flooded.”

Can people get used to dying?

Being a hunter was, of course, something to do at the cost of one’s life.

It had nothing to do with the rank.

It was also true that B-class hunters could lose their lives even to level 3 monsters, and it was also true that S-class hunters could not guarantee victory if they met a monster of a suitable level.

I can’t even count on my fingers how many times I’ve been to the funerals of those who had been chatting with each other until just yesterday.

That’s why I could never tolerate so easily watching people die next to me.

If it’s something I can prevent, I thought it was right for anyone who could save it to do it.

After answering with a very serious face, Jena quietly picked up the teacup and touched her rim.

“…I had a hard time.”

“Yes.”

For a moment, there was silence between the two of us.

“How is the cafe work?”

I wanted to change the topic because something seemed awkward, so I wanted to ask about her recent situation.

“It’s similar, but it’s not like you’re talking about it. They said it was the same academy as Yoo Shi-hwa and asked me to get an autograph.”

Of course, the people who made that request wouldn’t know the story behind our relationship, but imagining how Jena must have felt, I smiled shyly.

“So what did you say?”

“…You said you weren’t very close.”

“Would you like to rescue me?”

For Jena’s social life, a few autographs.

“…Eat some rice.”

“Yes.”

I started moving my chopsticks again, looking at Jena with a frown on my face, and continued my meal without saying a word.

After checking out, we came out of the restaurant and decided to take a walk despite the muggy air.

“So. Is the author doing well?”

“Did I tell you? He was also in Busan?”

“Did he also come and go on the field?”

After defeating Croptos, the author, who returned to Seoul, kept whining to me if I could reveal my identity to the outside world.

However, what I was really grateful for was that he didn’t reveal his identity before asking for my opinion.

If the author had yelled, ‘That’s Choi In-wook!’, I would have had to drag Sihwa and the two of them and stuff them in front of the camera.

“Yes. However, because you worked hard this time, the association said that you could be hired as a regular rather than a trainee, didn’t you like it?”

“It’s not a shocking promotion. If it’s a first-year without a rank, but full-time employment.”

“That’s right. Still, it feels good to see Ji-eun doing well.”

“Doesn’t he even have feelings for him?”

With her eyes wide open, Jena crossed her arms and looked at me.

“It just feels like a cousin.”

“I hope to continue to do so in the future.”

After driving me to the bus stop going to Jena’s house, I turned my back and trudged towards the house.

[3 Missed calls]

It was Harin.

At that time, I got a call from Busan as if it was urgent, and when I arrived in Seoul, I tried to contact her again, but she talked as if nothing had really happened, so I thought it was okay.

[Hello.]

[Uh. Inwook-ah.]

Voice that looks a little gloomy.

I could assure you that I am the most easily aware of Harin’s feelings in the world.

[What’s going on?]

[No. Something like that I just want to hear your voice.]

It was clear that something was going on.

[Why are you doing this? It’s okay to just talk comfortably.]

Harin is silent for a moment.

[Inwook-ah.]

[Yes.]

[Is it okay if I ask just one question?]

What kind of story do you have to ask for permission like this?

[Tell me.]

[You… the day we first entered the academy.]

[Wait a minute. This time? Or last time.]

[This time.]

[Yes.]

[What the head of the examination paper said by mistake in front of the classmates.]

The moment Harin talked about her test strip, I could recall her memories of that day.

A teacher who bragged about the fact that I was healthy and not an eunuch in front of everyone.

It was sad to think about it now, but it was vague to blame, and it had already happened.

[Uh.]

[Is that really…?]

That’s right… Harin was the only ex-wife who knew the only difference between her previous life and this one.

Of course, this was very important information and a fact that would change a lot, as she was, of course, between her and her divorce.

[…Yes.]

[Really… Are you sure…?]

She wondered if it was a happy thing to say the least, but Harin’s voice seemed full of anxiety.

[If the doctor didn’t get the diagnosis wrong, wouldn’t it be?]

[Yeah… Okay. Thanks for replying. Inwook-ah. I’ll call my dad and call you back later.]

[Uh. Okay. Look.]

Harin’s voice was full of hesitation until the moment she stopped.
