"What do you want?"

"I want to save my children."

"And why should I help you?"

"Because... you are their father."

Go A Yeong had no choice but to run to the person who, she had been hiding from for five years, to save her children. In return, he asked her to marry him. Between saving her life or saving her children, the answer was obvious to her. But, is she really giving up on her life or upgrading it?

Jeong Seo Joon didn't know who the woman he spent the night with was, five years ago, neither he wanted to know. That is, until the woman in question appeared in front of him without a notice, asking to save her children or, should he say, his. And before he knew it, he had a wife and a twin boys. 

Ruthless Monster's Sweet Wife

"There was someone before you. He has been in this field for six years now, but even he wasn't able to pull off an emotional scene. You sure are gifted to be able to act that scene so perfectly without much experience.". She happily thanked him and exited the hall after another judge announced that she was selected.

A shadow exited the hall slowly from another exit after she left. Jeong Seo Joon doesn't normally care about recruit selection. But strangely, he didn't want to miss that one. He understood the reason for Jeong Ji Hun's unbreakable trust in her talent now that he had witnessed it himself.

The smile on his boss's face frightened Lee So Hyun. He desperately wanted to know the reason, but knowing his boss, he would either glare at him or, worse, send him to Jeong Ho Seok as his PA for one day. One time was enough. He didn't want to go through the torture again.

Go A Yeong was taken aback by the house in front of her. Jeong Seo Joon's mansion looked ordinary compared to the one she was standing in front of. Right after coming back from his agency, Jeong Seo Joon told her to get ready to meet his parents.

Go A Yeong was even more nervous than she was when she first met Jeong Seo Joon. How will she explain the situation to them? Will they accept her and her children? What if they call her children, names? What if they didn't believe them to be their grandchildren?

"They won't.". Confused, she asked, "What?". Jeong Seo Joon circled his hands around her shoulder and said, "Whatever you're thinking, they won't ask you any of it.". "How are you so sure?". He shrugged his shoulders and pressed the doorbell. "Because I know.".

And just as Jeong Seo Joon said, no one asked her anything. Kim Ha Eun, his mother, scooped up Jeong Ji Hun and Jeong Ji Won the moment they entered the house, and the children were still in her lap. Go A Yeong could tell from who Jeong Seo Joon had inherited the poker face. Other than saying "welcome" to her, Jeong Nam Gil had not opened his mouth.

And then there was Jeong Da Yun, her sister-in-law. Go A Yeong couldn't understand how she could have a brother like Jeong Seo Joon. She was continuously smiling and treated them warmly. Having someone her age in that unfamiliar place made her feel somewhat relaxed.

In the end, the dinner went well and Go A Yeong was thankful for that. "What did you tell them about our situation?". "A few lies. I said it as it is but I changed the later part.". She was curious now. "What did you say?". Jeong Seo Joon cast a glance at her. "We fell in love with each other at first sight, and because we already had children, we got married, as everything felt like destiny.".

No one had ever looked at him with such disgust as Go A Yeong did at that moment. "What? You don't like my story? I should've gone with the other version. That a woman showed up out of nowhere and demanded me to marry her, blackmailing me using my children.". Go A Yeong's eyes widened. "I didn't! It was you who asked me to-".

"You were with my children, Go A Yeong. I'm not interested in this marriage either, but the boys need both their father and mother. And I will do everything for that to happen.". It was nice. Her name sounded entirely different when he said it. Could she ask him to say that again?
