The Price of Hidden Sins のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 91 - チャプター 100

Josh swallowed before answering Ashley's question.The memory of his careless action, which had to be a fatal mistake, came back to him very clearly.“Because of me.”Ashley frowned. She didn't fully understand what Josh was saying.But the one sentence statement spoken by the man that the reason his girlfriend attempted suicide was because of him, honestly made Ashley's heart a little relieved. The trembling and fear that hit her head seemed to subside instantly.At least she knew that she was not the cause of the horrible incident. Because after all, the intersection of destiny that the three of them are currently living is quite complicated and very emotionally draining. If Josh’s girlfriend was too depressed and lost control, it would be very possible if her marriage and Josh became the direct cause for that girl to do so.Josh sighed. “I did her wrong.” He certainly couldn't have told Ashley that after he came home from the hospital to accompany Ashley's mother and returned to Sh

Josh has been upfront about the reasons that made him agree to this marriage.But Ashley certainly couldn't reciprocate his openness by telling him the reasons why she was also forced to agree to this marriage. Because her biological mother's existence was a big secret—it is her family's past sins that no one should know about, not even Josh.That's why Ashley remained silent and didn't mention her reason at all.Josh chose to tell her and his girlfriend’s story. So she would let him tell it without making this situation provoke her to take turns telling her own version of her life story—which to be honest was also very complicated and full of irony.“I may sound very selfish to you, but, can you do me a favor not to blame us too much? I really can't lose Sharon.” Josh's face paled. “I'm afraid of my family hurting her. I'm also really scared that she's trying to hurt herself again.”Ashley looked at Josh with compassion.Before, she just thought that Josh was just a jerk who was too

About half an hour later, two reporters arrived almost simultaneously with Ashley’s mother, who appeared shortly thereafter. At the opening of the event, Josh’s mother and Jason appeared and took part in the event.Ashley and Josh exchanged glances silently because they thought this was a special event attended only by her mother.In reality, their presence wasn't something to be concerned about, but a sense of surprise still crept into Ashley and Josh's minds. After all, facing Ashley’s mother alone was already challenging for them. Especially if they have to face Josh’s mother and brother at the same time. They truly had to be mindful of their behavior and the words that came out of their mouths to avoid saying or doing the wrong thing.“Be careful when you speak. Especially with my mother,“ Josh quickly whispered to Ashley when they were a little away from the others.”You are the one who needs to be careful. You're more careless than me,” Ashley glared at Josh.She already knew an

Jason laughed. “No. You don't think I'm doing this half-heartedly, do you?”Ashley shrugged.“I'm really enjoying myself here,” Jason glanced at Ashley's blank drawing paper, “Next time, you might want to come here occasionally. Not during events like this. But on a regular day at the end of the month to volunteer. We can cook together, clean this place, play… and many other things."Jason looked at Ashley, giving her a light nod as encouragement to make her interested in his suggestion.However, Ashley, who had just returned here after years away, was hesitant due to the unfamiliar feeling that was sabotaging her emotions. All the staff at the orphanage had changed, and the children she once knew were no longer there. Only Mrs. Yoon remained as the sole person still living here. Additionally, she was unsure whether she had the time and permission from her mother to get involved in the orphanage's activities. Up until now, every event or activity she attended or participated in had t

Josh knew, even before his car pulled into the driveway of his family's large house, that a nightmare awaited him. The call from his mother while he was still on the road earlier, after dropping Sharon off at home following her hospital visit to check her wound—brief, cold, and to the point—was enough to signal the imminent collapse of his life. “Come home now,” she said. Her voice was flat, but that was precisely what made Josh's throat feel like it was being choked from the inside.Throughout the ride home, Sharon couldn't say a word and just sat in silence. Both her hands clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, her face and fingers pale. Her gaze was vacant, yet filled with anxiety. Josh glanced at her and knew she was just as panicked. Earlier at the hospital, both of them had been caught red-handed by Josh's mother and Ashley's mother at the same time. Josh never expected that after returning from the charity event at the orphanage, the two women would head to the same hospital t
