Reborn as the Evil K-Drama Mom! (But I'm Indian?!)
Chapter 6: The CEO Husband Gets… Jealous?!
I had one goal.
Survive my villain CEO husband without making him suspicious.
But what did I do instead?
I accidentally made him care about me.
And now?
Now, I was stuck having dinner with him.

Scene Change – The Most Awkward Dinner Ever
Ji-Hwan sat across from me at the fancy dining table, cutting his steak like a mafia boss plotting murder.
The atmosphere was so tense even the maids were breathing quietly.
I sipped my soup. Graceful. Elegant. Unbothered.
Ji-Hwan stared at me. Intense. Confused. Suspicious.
"So," he finally said, "you called me 'darling' earlier."
I nearly choked on my soup.
"Did I?" I fake laughed. "Pfft, I say things all the time, haha. Forget about it!"
Ji-Hwan tilted his head. "You've never called me that before."
Oh god.
This man was too sharp.
Time to change the subject.
I smiled sweetly. "By the way, how was your business trip?"
He narrowed his eyes. "Since when do you care?"
Oof. Wrong question.
"Well," I panicked, "you're my husband. It's only natural that I ask!"
Ji-Hwan froze.
The butler dropped a spoon.
The chef whispered 'Oh my god.'
…Oops.
I forgot that in the original drama, these two had a horrible marriage.
Crap crap crap.
Think, think!
"Oh," I quickly added, "I meant business-wise! If your company does well, I get to spend more money, right?"
Ji-Hwan blinked.
Then… he smirked.
Oh no.
"Ah," he said smoothly, "so you're after my money."
What.
No.
Wait.
That's not—
Before I could fix this misunderstanding, Ji-Hwan suddenly picked up his wine glass.
"That's fine," he said. "If my wife wants something, I should provide it."
My jaw dropped.
The maids blushed.
The butler nearly fainted.
WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
Was my villain CEO husband… flirting with me?!

Scene Change – Junho's POV
Junho stared at his phone.
Then at his butler.
Then at his phone again.
"What do you mean," he asked slowly, "Dad and Mom are having a normal conversation?"
The butler whispered dramatically, "Not just normal… romantic."
Junho froze.
Then, he immediately called Ha-Eun.
She picked up after two rings. "Hey, what's up?"
"Something's wrong with my mom," Junho said, dead serious.
Ha-Eun blinked. "Well, yeah. She tried to plan our wedding without asking us."
"No, I mean, she's acting nice to my dad."
Silence.
Then—
"…What."
"Exactly," Junho muttered. "I think she hit her head."

Scene Change – My POV
I escaped dinner like my life depended on it.
Ji-Hwan was acting too nice.
I had survived the villain CEO husband for now, but I had bigger problems.
Junho was suspicious.
Ha-Eun was confused.
And worst of all?
Ji-Hwan wasn't ignoring me anymore.
I flopped onto my bed, staring at the ceiling.
If I wasn't careful, this drama was about to take a very weird turn.
And somehow…
I had a feeling that my CEO husband wasn't done with me yet.
