Chapter 1

One morning, when I wasn’t fully awake, my mother declared with a face full of red in front of me.

“You know, I’m getting married.”

“Oh, is that so?”

‘You mean remarriage, right?’

I stabbed the food on the plate while listening to my mother’s excited voice.

It was sudden, but it wasn’t shocking news.

If it was only a marriage, I could accept it.

However, it was amazing that she announced a serious matter named marriage at an important time when I was about to take a school entrance exam.

‘I’m sure I’ve told her I was preparing for an exam.’

There was a good chance she had forgotten.

Well, there would be no difference even if she remembered that.

‘I thought she only dated a little longer, but marriage.’

Only half a year had passed since she stamped on the divorce papers while declaring. ‘I will not do this kind of thing ever again’.

‘So in the end, it became like this.’

I knew about the fact she started dating.

Her glowing face, her sweetened voice, her frequent shopping and outing.

The carriage and mailman who recently often visit the house, and the last, Mother’s bright smile.

Her sparkling eyes curved as they looked at me.

“What do you think? Huh?”

“Well, if it was to the point for marriage, he must be a good man.”

If the matter was decided anyway, I only had to give her the words she wanted to hear.

There was no need to hurt her feelings when she was that happy.

I quietly took the napkin and wiped my lips.

“I think we should hurry up and hold the ceremony. He also wants to quickly merge our family.”

Even if that was the case, her dating just became noticeable for around two months, but how could she have already been planning for marriage.

It seemed like her partner was rather a hurried guy.

I had no problem with my mother getting married, but I was a bit bothered with the influence this remarriage would bring upon me.

Her previous marriage partner was a sincere guy in family gatherings that he used to call me at every family event.

Because of that, I, who suffered from getting dragged on here and there, got a lesson that a family man was not necessarily good.

Even though it was comfortable for me when she was hopping around the dance hall like a migratory bird looking for a warm place.

To my regret, she seemed to find another nest for her to stay.

“He said he would take care of the preparation.”

“Good, then. He must be a kind person.”

I was glad that at least she was happy.

“Today, I will introduce him, so leave the afternoon free.”

“Okay.”

Actually, I had a study gathering with my friends this afternoon, but I decided to give up on that.

She was delighted with my answer that I would come, then run straight to the dress room.

Dana, who was waiting next to me, sighed.

“Isn’t Madam too mean? If only she could tell My Lady a bit earlier….”

“I’m sure she didn’t promise in advance but caught it as she pleased.”

She was someone who decided on a matter based on her mood at the time.

Probably, today’s appointment was also decided ‘let’s meet up while I’m thinking of it’ while we were conversing.

“I don’t think it was intentional.”

“And that’s even more surprising.”

Dana let out a long sigh before she cleared the table.

‘But she’s not a bad person.’

She was just a person with too much love.

A person who used to invest her life whenever she loved and be loved.

Nevertheless, she never let go of my hands in the name of that love.

Dana pouted at my words.

“If she had been married three times, she should be quiet now.’

“My mom got a certain taste.”

My mother enjoyed showing off her happiness and showing it off to her heart’s content.

She also liked to leave the image of herself being loved.

However, I wished for her partner this time was an easygoing person.

“Please, I hope he wasn’t from the artist family.”

Dana mumbled while shivering.
