Winning Back the Wife

Regret

The Kumiho my father chose for me hated me. He hated that he was my pet. When I turned eighteen, I decided to give him his freedom. However, it turned out that he was in love with one of our servants’ daughters, Rachel Lenford. I was crushed, but I could only accept it. I woke up from a good dream to find a silver-ringed giant python coiled around my body. It hissed at me while flicking its forked tongue. "Why do you like him so much? How about trying me out? I'm better than he is." Trying this snake out? How would that work?

Chapter 1

It was my eighteenth birthday today. My friends had brought me so many gifts that they formed a small hill on the ground, but all I did was look at Taylor Jones with a forced smile. "Taylor, where's my birthday gift?"

His legs were crossed while his fox tail swayed nonchalantly behind him as everyone watched on. He scoffed slightly at my question and replied, "I don't have any money to buy one for you."

Taylor had embarrassed me in front of all my friends while Rachel Lenford looked at me gleefully, a Chanel necklace sparkling around her neck. "Taylor used up his money getting me a present not long ago, Elsie. Please don't be mad. He'll get you a present next time."

As my Kumiho, a half-fox, half-human entity, he had a monthly allowance of $10,000. My family, the Spencers, wanted him to have a comfortable life with us, but he had been spending my father's money without limitation, yet he could not even get me a necklace for my birthday.

My guests started looking at me condescendingly or with pity.

"It doesn't matter how rich their family is. She's given him his heart, but he doesn't appreciate it."

"That Kumiho must be living a sad life with her. I wouldn't like her either if I were pressured into doing things I didn't like."

The light in my eyes diminished at their words. They might be right. Maybe I had been too selfish all this time.

It was late at night when Taylor turned back into a fox and fell fast asleep upstairs, while I sat alone in the dark living room downstairs. I sat there for a long time before finally getting up to go upstairs. I carried Taylor in my arms and put him in the carriage, which sped forward and soon brought us to the edge of Misty Forest.I carried the sleeping Taylor in my arms as I gritted my teeth, walking into the forest. Taylor woke up soon after and was shocked and angry upon seeing our eerie surroundings. "What are you doing, Elsie? Did you take me out here to kill me just because I upset you?"While struggling to escape from my arms, he bit me hard on the back of my hand. I released him due to the pain, and he jumped to the ground. I said sadly to him, "You've always wanted this, Taylor. From now on, you’re free."My father gave Taylor to me when I was ten years old. When I was fifteen, I was pleasantly surprised to see him evolve into a Kumiho, because it was a rare and great ho

Chapter 3
Misty Forest was a dangerous place, and I had lost my way. Even if I could somehow defeat the wolf pack, I would not be able to escape from the forest. The thought terrified me. Suddenly, a wolf lunged at me, aiming to bite my neck.Just as I closed my eyes, waiting for my impending death, I saw a flash of silver light. A snake appeared and bit the wolf! The wolf convulsed for a while before falling to the ground, dead. The rest of the wolves stared at the snake with fear, and all of them turned to run.I was terrified. What if the snake turned around and broke my neck with one bite, too? It did not matter if I was bitten by the wolf or poisoned by the snake. Either way, I would be dead!The next moment, I felt an icy cold sensation on my hand. The snake… was licking my hand. Was it about to inject its venom into me? I was filled with so much fear that I passed out right away.When I opened my eyes next, there was mist all around me, and I was on the back of a man. He had a wide ba

Chapter 4
It was already late at night when we arrived at Espence City. The servants came out of the castle, looking relieved. "You're finally home, Miss Spencer! You scared me!""Where's the Kumiho? Did he protect you after you left the city with him, Miss Spencer?"I shook my head. "I sent him back to Misty Forest."Silence fell until someone started berating me. Rachel said angrily, "What gave you the right to send him away? Did you even ask if he wanted this? You've always been so selfish, Elsie! You never think about other people’s feelings."How can he adapt to the wild when he’s been living in comfort for so many years? Letting him go free in the wild is equivalent to murdering him!"The air was suddenly filled with dust swept up from the ground. Rachel, who was busy throwing a tantrum, swallowed a mouthful of it. Once everything in the air had settled, a giant python appeared in front of everyone.When it stood on its tail, it was as tall as two men. The python was shiny white, wit

I was surprised to see Taylor covered in wounds in his human form. He had bruises all over his face as well. When he saw Rachel, he limped right toward her and kissed her hard on the lips over and over again. Rachel was surprised as well, and she started sobbing. "I didn't expect you to return! I thought I'd lost you forever!"Taylor replied, "Hmph! It was all that vile woman's fault! She tried to kill me by throwing me into Misty Forest. How despicable of her! I wouldn't have been able to get out of there if you hadn’t been on my mind the entire time. But everything’s okay now, because I only belong to you from now on. I'm finally free from her! I no longer need to bow to her every whim and need!"It was a romantic reunion for the separated lovers, and they kissed passionately under the cherry tree while I watched on. I finally understood why Taylor had always treated me with disdain and why Rachel was so angry after I let Taylor go free. They had been in a relationship for a long

I gave Taylor $500,000. If he used it wisely, he could live a comfortable life alone for a long, long time.Taylor ran off in great delight to find Rachel when he suddenly got his hands on the huge sum of money, but found her howling in pain on the ground outside Logan's door. "What happened to you, Rachel?" He asked in a panic. Taylor glared at Logan, who had walked out after a bath. "What did you do to her?"Logan looked at him condescendingly. "You should be asking her what she did. What an awful sight I just saw!"Rachel's robe had opened from her rolling on the ground, revealing her lacey black lingerie underneath. Taylor was in disbelief. "Were you planning to cheat on me if I hadn't shown up? To think I was planning to take you away with me after I managed to get $500,000 from Elsie!"When Rachel heard him say '$500,000', she quickly replied, "I wasn't doing anything… I-I just w-walked into the wrong room after taking my bath, and I was suddenly swept out of there by a giant

Strange things started to happen over the next few days. I remembered falling asleep in my bed at night, but when I woke up the next day, I was hugging Logan possessively, like he was a human-shaped pillow.Logan asked, "Are you doing this on purpose?"I replied, "Definitely not! I have no idea why I would do that.""It's all right. I understand."What?What the hell did he understand? Even I did not understand what was going on! According to Logan, at night, I would turn into a thug who broke down his door, ignoring the resistance of an innocent young man, and forcefully grab him in an embrace. Otherwise, I would not be able to sleep!I was so embarrassed about it. I instructed him repeatedly to lock his doors before he went to bed to prevent the unwanted advances that I had no control over. However, he jumped into bed with his arms and legs akimbo. "Don't worry. I don't mind it at all. Come on! You don't need to be gentle with me just because I'm a beautiful yet fragile flo

On the way home from school, I passed by a store selling snacks for half-human, half-creature entities that I frequented. I walked in and overheard someone talking on the other side of the shelf."Please get me some, Rachel. They aren't expensive. All I want are some snacks!""Not expensive? It's more than $100 for a packet! That's daylight robbery!""I've given you all of the $500,000 to safekeep. Can't you give me a little reward when all I want is a small packet of snacks? Elsie used to buy me anything I wanted.""Then you should ask her for it. She's from a rich family and has lots of money. I can't compare to her!"…This was awkward. It was a small world, me bumping into Taylor and Rachel in this place. I was holding a huge bag of snacks, not sure whether to walk out and reveal myself. That was when Taylor and Rachel turned a corner and saw me right away.Taylor acted like he had seen an enemy. "Elsie!" When he saw the bag of snacks in my hand, he sneered, "Are you buying

After getting in the car, I stared at Logan's calm expression in a daze. I was enraged when Rachel shouted those words, but I had nowhere to vent my anger. I didn't expect a few words from Logan to appease the anger in my heart. It felt like he would stand by me forever with conviction. I could not help saying, "Do you really mean what you just said?""I do.""What I meant was, did you really mean it when you said you didn’t mind your girlfriend's past intimacy with her ex, no matter how far they went? Are you sure you wouldn't mind?"Logan tugged his necktie loose. "Everyone has a past. I might appear later in her life, but if I'm sure she's the one, nothing else is important as long as she belongs to me from then on. What's most important is that I'm the one with a clean slate."I was initially confused by his last sentence, but when I realized what he meant, I asked with astonishment, "What do you mean? Are you a virgin?"Logan's expression froze, and he continued driving stoic

Chapter 10
Logan told me he would be taking me out for dinner that day, and the venue was a restaurant I frequented. When we stepped into the restaurant, Taylor came over with his eyes lit up. "Elsie!" I was surprised because he had never called out to me that way so happily. "You're finally here!"The restaurant owner asked angrily, "What are you doing, Taylor?!"Taylor was reminded of where he was and his current position as he glanced at the words 'Veggie Garden' on his apron. "Welcome. How many of you are here tonight? Do you have a reservation?"I gave him my reservation, and the look on his face changed as he led me toward a private room. I never expected Taylor to be working as a waiter. When he was mine, he was the one being served.However, he suddenly pulled me into an empty private room and grabbed my hand. It surprised me, and I struggled out of his grip. Taylor looked at his empty hand in despair. "You’ve never pulled away from me like this, Elsie."I replied, "Is there anything
