The housekeeper handed the tea to Da Hyun and Yul, then went down to the first floor and into the kitchen.
Even though she knew no one else was on the first floor, she cautiously looked around. After setting down the tray, she pulled out her cell phone from her apron pocket and typed rapidly.
[Madam has invited a friend over. She has been resting in bed since returning home yesterday. You don’t need to worry. Chairman.]After sending the message, she looked around once more before quickly slipping her phone back into her apron and resumed her work as if nothing had happened.
Yun Hee had ignored all of Seo Cheol’s calls that morning.
“Such an annoying old man. Does he really think he can handle it well?”
Yun Hee stopped drying her hair and gazed at herself in the mirror.
What must Min Hyuk and Han Da Hyun be like now?
Given that Min Hyuk hadn’t contacted her, it seemed they hadn’t yet hit a rough patch.
“Even after all this, is his trust in her that strong?”
Yun Hee had expected Da Hyun to at least not ignore her claims, even if she didn’t believe them entirely.
The shaking of Da Hyun’s pupils when she heard about the child showed that she was shocked.
If she had thought it was nonsense, she wouldn’t have reacted at all to Yun Hee’s words.
And yet, she’s still living with Min Hyuk despite losing consciousness from the shock.
“She might act kind and innocent on the surface, but deep down she’s no different from me.”
Yun Hee was certain that Da Hyun had not even blinked when told about the need for a father for her child. Otherwise, there’s no way things would have remained this quiet.
“Do I have no choice but to meet with Han Da Hyun myself?”
She was reluctant to do so, but eventually steeled her mind, thinking of her daughter lying in the hospital.
“Who’s going to live my life for me? Why should I care about anyone else’s opinion?”
Yun Hee’s reflection in the mirror twisted into a scornful expression.
She turned the hairdryer back on and finished drying her hair.
To get Han Da Hyun’s number, she would have to ask Seo Cheol, the quickest option.
After making sure her hair was neatly done, Yun Hee finally checked her missed calls and dialed Seo Cheol.
She didn’t want to answer his calls, but as her employer and for getting Han Da Hyun’s number, she had to call him.
“Oh, Chairman, I’m sorry. I was taking a shower and couldn’t answer your call.”
[Sure, that’s a likely story. Such an obvious excuse leaves me speechless.]Seo Cheol’s scoffing was crystal clear in Yun Hee’s ears. It was obvious that her shower excuse was just that, an excuse, since she had been ignoring his calls all morning.
“Why would I lie to you, Chairman?”
Yun Hee responded sweetly but her expression remained impassive.
[You know your place, right? You’re still committed to causing Han Da Hyun to divorce, correct?]“Of course. Trust me. Without me, you have no way to separate those two.”
[You’re overconfident. Remember, if you don’t do this properly, you won’t get the money you want. Your daughter’s life depends on how you handle this.]
Yun Hee was tempted to just hang up on Seo Cheol’s patronizing call.
Using her child as leverage to manipulate her was distasteful, but she needed the money.
For now, she had no choice but to follow the old man’s tune and split those two apart.
It also gave her a chance for revenge against Min Hyuk.
But why did she call this old man again?
Oh right, for Han Da Hyun’s phone number.
Yun Hee heard Seo Cheol rambling on the other end, but she was only half-listening and couldn’t remember what he said.
“Chairman, I have a question. Why can’t you get over Han Da Hyun? What’s the real reason? She is your daughter, right?”
Yun Hee couldn’t understand why Seo Cheol, despite hating Min Hyuk, also disliked his own daughter, Han Da Hyun. As a parent, it was odd to dislike one’s own flesh and blood.
Her own father, who abandoned her, hadn’t acted like that. Even though he squandered all the money and ran away, which was inhuman.
But thanks to that, she got to live with Min Hyuk’s biological mother, Hee Kyung, which was a blessing.
Otherwise, her life might have been even more ruined.
“Hello? Chairman? Are you listening to me?”
Yun Hee spoke again when there was no reply.
[Just do what I tell you. The cost of the flight that brought you to Korea, the house you live in, the clothes you wear, and your daughter’s hospital bills. All that money came from my wallet. Remember that.]Seo Cheol’s words echoed her despicable biological father.
“I’m well aware, so you don’t need to remind me. I was just curious, but you really beat around the bush, Chairman.”
Seo Cheol’s evasion made Yun Hee more suspicious. However, it wasn’t critical to her current situation, so she didn’t press further.
“Oh, Chairman, please give me Han Da Hyun’s number.”
Yun Hee asked for Da Hyun’s number before ending the call.
“I’m planning to meet her alone.”
Before Seo Cheol could ask why, she explained her reason.
[Like last time?]Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
