“Chen… Kris and I are still together.” I frowned. 

“I know… I am aware of that. You’re still his legal wife. But you can ask for divorce. We can be together and you will get the child custody. You’ll become your children’s official guardian.”

“But Chen… I don’t love you.”

His facial expression changed, the eagerness in his eyes has faded, replaced by something that I couldn't put my hands on. He smiled softly - he did not say anything after that. 

Should I get married with Chen and get the child custody or stay with Kris?

I still love him, he was my husband. No matter how bad he was, he was still my legal husband. He helped me a lot.

I was having a financial problem and he came, lending his money to me. I was having a hard time and he came giving me motivations. I was losing faith towards this world but then he came bringing,

His tears tugged my heartstrings. I wiped his tears using my other hand and pulled it away. But soon it got stopped by Chen.

He hold both of my hands and looked at me straight in my eyes.

“I love you, Chan Kyung. From the moment I laid my eyes on you; on the first day of college, I’ve already fell for you. You are the only girl that I’ve been looking at. You’re so attractive that I can’t even stop thinking about you. You’re beautiful, you stand out of the crowd. You are a good mother to Yi Kyung and I can see that… you’re responsible, you are strong. You never get mad. You are holding everything inside. You don’t want to burden others, therefore you acted strong. I know that you are collapsing in your heart, I know the wall that you’ve built ar
