They Were Meant To Be Together | Book 2

215.Wise Mother Jeon I

Jisoo quietly nodded her head and followed mother Jeon.

A maid came rushing towards them and asked, "Madam do you want something?"

"Get us some wine." Mother Jeon said.

The maid nodded her head and left.

"So Where was I? Ya why do think that Jin will not believe you?" Mother Jeon asked.

Jisoo sighed and said, "I don't know. I think he won't."

"Well since he did not believe you back then that doesn't mean that he won't believe you now." Mother Jeon said with a smile on her face.

Jisoo widened her eyes in shock and said, "You know what happened that-"

Cutting her off, Mother Jeon said, "Yes I know everything."

Soon the maid arrived with a bottle of wine and two glasses.

Taking the tray from her hand, Mother Jeon said, "You can go and rest now."

The maid lowered her head and left.

Pouring some wine for both of them, Mother Jeon said, "Few days after you left, Jin came looking for me. He was drunk and was crying and hitting himself like a mad person. When I was trying to console him thinking may be he is missing you too much, he told me that he is a very bad person. When I asked him why he told me everything." Pausing for a while, Mother Jeon continued, "I was feeling so angry that I wanted to thrash him hard. Next day when he woke up I even punished."

Passing a wine glass to Anna, Mother Jeon said, "I understand why you are angry with Jin and I feel that he deserves it but don't you think even you are responsible for whatever happened that night?"

Taking a sip from the glass, Jisoo lowered her head.

"When your father told you about your arranged marriage, why did you hide it from Jin?" Mother Jeon asked.

Jisoo pursed her lips and said, "I didn't want to worry him because I thought it wasn't a serious matter."

Mother Jeon smiled and said, "And see what happened because of that. Don't you think may be things would've been different if you had told him about it? Something would've definitely happened. You could've even told me. The Jeon family would've definitely helped you and Jin and I am sure that the Gu family would've helped you too."

Pausing for a while, Mother Jeon said, "Everything started because you kept that marriage thing away from Jin. Yes I agree that this doesn't justify Jin's behaviour. He was wrong. He shouldn't have said all that only because you did not tell about your marriage. He was wrong completely wrong. Whether he was hurt or drunk or whatever. That doesn't justify his absurd behaviour. You have all the right to stay angry with him. But the main question is, till when?"

"I-"

"It has already been eight years my child. How long are you planning to hide everything from him?" Mother Jeon asked.

Jisoo sighed and said, "I don't know Yamyam. I love Jin and I'll always love him but I don't know. I just can't get over the words he used that night."

Mother smiled and said, "And what about you? Is your behaviour justified? Not telling him anything about your arranged marriage. Leaving the country without informing him. Do you really think that you have not done anything that has hurt Jin?" Pausing for a while, Mother Jeon continued, "Have you seen that boy's expression when he looks at you? Have you ever noticed how hurt and depressed he sounds when he talks about your non-existing husband? Do you have any idea about the pain that he is going through knowing that you are married to someone else?"
