He didn't reply because he felt so sorry for that. Even when he was on friendly terms with Yomin, he never went out for an outing with her.
"Though I told you I would free you, please don't lie to me."
"I'm sorry."
"I don't want to hear you telling me again that you're sorry," she said coldly.
She felt like she was swallowing thorns whenever he said something.
"I guess you don't want to see me," he said.
"You bet."
"You don't need to go to the trouble of visiting me like this," he said.
She stopped wringing the towel.
Putting down her hand holding the towel, she said, "They still think you and I live in conjugal harmony."
Of course, that was not true. This kind of hypocrisy was needed for Ruhae and Kyosul to keep their relationship. As he was well aware of that, he felt sorry for Yomin all the more, so he didn't want her to visit his residency in the South Palace.
