Chapter 24 - Misunderstanding

As Xie Eun opened the door to her home, she expected to be met with a layer of dust and cobwebs..Yu Seok probably expected the same for he whispered,"Xie Eun?Do you have some gnomes living here who come to cleaneven when no one was living?"

Actually Yu Seok knew it was Housekeeper Su who had maintained the house so well that no one could have guessed that the house had been empty for over a year.But he needed Xie Eun to acknowledge this as she was the one who had deeply hurt the lady.​​

As a husband it was his job to protect his wife but at the same time, he was her partner and had responsibility to make her realise her mistakes. As a matter-of-fact, even he failed to understand why she would believe that Housekeeper Su had committed thievery.As far as he knew, his Eun-a treated the housekeeper like a mother so which child would believe something like this?But Xie Eun had not only believed the lies she had even sent the lady back here. Sometimes he himself had to doubt his wife's IQ!

Touched at the way Aunt Su had taken care of her home, Xie Eun felt another pang of guilt.She had to go to Aunt Su tomorrow and explain everything...To distract herself, Xie Eun walked into the kitchen and checked it's contents..Even the refrigerator was stocked with instant food...While Yu Seok brought their bags inside, Xie Eun took out a ready to eat mean and pushed it into the microwave.Yu Seok strolled inside and could already guess where his wife was.Following her path, he walked into the kitchen and leaned against the door,"I have placed your bags. Is there any hotel or inn, nearby?"

Xie Eun who was staring at the microwave in anticipation almost ignored what he had but then his words registered and she shopped around to face him,"Yu Seok!You can bring your stuff in..There is no need to go anywhere.This is a big house.Bring everything inside fast and then we can eat and sleep."

Yu Seok crossed his arms in front of him and frowned,"Xie Eun?Are you sure that you are a human?And not a panda?All you know is to eat and sleep?"

Xie Eun batted her eyes at Yu Seok, not the least bit offended and easily replied,"Yu Seok?Do you know something?Let me give you some profound wisdom today,'You must always be yourself!But if you can be a Panda then you must always be a panda!That is how you live!So I am myself when I am taking pictures and the rest of the time I am a panda...who enjoys life to the fullest."

With the serious way she gave that advice,Wolf wondered how her brain worked.But for now,he needed to point out something,"Will your fiance not mind if you stay with another man!I, for sure, would have minded.Something tells me that he would..That could be the only reason that you have yet to tell him that you have someone with you on this trip!"

Just then the microwave dinged and Xie Eun quickly pulled out the food before placing it on the table and then concenrating on gobbljng up the rice.Only after she had taken a big bite, did she look up,"Of course he would.You are right.But the reason I am not telling him is that he would feel hurt not because he would feel jealous.Yu Seok even if he were to feel jealous I can just tell him that you are gay..!"

Wolf who had just taken a sip of water almost spit it out and started to cough severely when he heard this...Finally after catching his breath,he placed the bottle of water on the table with a thump and glared at Xie Eun.In a dangerous voice, almost revealing his true character, he asked,"What do you mean by telling him that I am gay?Why are you so intent on lying?"

Xie Eun felt the grimness around Yu Seok and realized her mistake immediately.She had inadvertently blurted out the fact that she knew of his secret..

So now she needed to fess up..

"Uhh..you don't have to worry.I will not tell your secret to anyone.In fact I have known it for so long.Have I ever said anything?"

Marching forward, Yu Seok leaned down a bit and glared at Xie Eun,"What do you mean?"

Irritated and a bit scared, Xie Eun finally pushed him away and said,"Stop trying to intimide me!I was there at the hospital a year and a half ago, when your boyfriend brought you there....When he was asked if there was anyone who could sign the consent form for you, be said he was your family and signed!"

You Seok:".."

So since he was seriously injured and Cheng Mo had signed the form on his behalf, this wonderful girl had assumed...what the ****!He wondered who he should kill for this blunder!Her or Cheng Mo?"

Cheng Mo who had been sleeping peacefully in his hotel room, woke up with a few sneezes and a twitchy nose....

And Yu Seok stood in the kitchen if the Xie family and assessed his own situation...no wonder it had been easy to get close to her.She had assumed that he was a person interested in the same gender...Sigh!!!!What a mess!
