The letter from her mother, placed on the table, had already been read several times. The realization of the existence of a grandfather she didn’t know was different.
Even though he had already passed away, it was a joyful thing to know that someone had been waiting for her childhood, thinking that there was only Mom and her in the world.
When she was young, Jaein liked the lemon madeleines that her mother made. It was natural that she had learned her mother’s secret recipe and started making them together.
After finding this money, what should I tell Mom? When our daughter becomes an adult, we should give it to her as a surprise event. Imagining the grown-up you, Mom is extremely excited right now.
Jaein’s eyes welled up with tears as she recalled the letter that vividly showed her mother’s excitement. Even before the tears could flow, the man’s hand that wiped them away had the scent that Jaein currently liked the most.
“I’m going to donate all the money.”
“Yeah.”
“Is that okay?”
“Of course, it’s okay.”
“You didn’t need the money?”
“I think everything will be resolved with these stocks.”
Since Jaein was now the owner of 5.8 percent of the missing Hyunyang Construction stocks, Taesu’s plan would proceed swiftly. Jaein smiled faintly at Taesu, who respected her intentions.
“But… are you in a hurry?”
“Huh?”
“Until the time to board the flight back to Korea.”
“Oh, the pizza you mentioned then? No, it’s not far from here.”
“No, where Yun Jaein’s mother is.”
“…”
“Jaein, you want to see your mom, right?”
For a moment, it seemed like she had heard a cheeky comment. The large hand that had been cradling her cheek firmly pressed against Jaein’s forehead.
“Will you introduce me to our mom?”
“If you introduce me to your mother, I would be honored. I wore a coat even in this weather because I wanted to look good. Although I know better than anyone how harsh the winter in Chicago is.”
“…Let’s go.”
“Oh, I’m nervous.”
“Liar.”
“No, really. I’m so tense right now; it feels like my heart is going to burst.”
Jaein stood up, took the hand of the man who was making a fuss, and headed towards the cafe entrance. Taesu, who had cleared the table with drinks, reached out to her again.
“So.”
“Yeah…?”
“Keep holding my hand.”
Jaein looked down at the large hand reaching towards her, nodded her head, and took hold of his hand. As they left the cafe, a smile had somehow formed on Jaein’s lips.
Dae-hoon chuckled as he put his phone down on the table.
Eventually, his wife Ji Seung-hee also stood on the prosecution’s photo line this morning. Even though she had undoubtedly dressed up as usual, the dark circles that had suddenly formed in the past few days due to mental stress couldn’t be hidden.
It was amusing. Despite the undoubtedly chaotic situation, she managed to take care of her hair and makeup. Her personality, which used to live like a princess until her forties, had come to this.
Still, they lived together. There was a time when they shared a bed. Dae-hoon thought Ji Seung-hee was a bit stubborn.
“Persisting will only make things harder.”
“Hey, how old are you?”
“I don’t answer irrelevant questions.”
“Must be Kang Taesu, right? The one who requested a high-intensity investigation about me from the prosecution.”
In Dae-hoon’s eyes, fixed on his assigned prosecutor, there was a determination that he couldn’t die like this.
“Admit it.”
As if deeming it not worth answering my question, Cho Dae-hoon sneered at the young prosecutor who ignored him without changing a single expression.
“So it seems to be Kang Taesu.”
“…The prosecution doesn’t move according to the request or demand of a single person. The reason you’re here is to be investigated for corruption, embezzlement, bribery, solicitation, accepting bribes, and suspicion of giving improper construction orders.”
Where did this guy come from? He had an attitude that the money he gave to the prosecution so far was irrelevant to him.
“The result of the home search and seizure warrant review will be out tomorrow.”
Representing a strong temper, the prosecutor with short-cut hair barely showed a hint of a smile on his face.
But Dae-hoon was calm. He had already instructed Director Kim to clear everything in the household safe in case of an emergency.
By now, there would be only a small amount of dollars inside the safe. Director Kim would have moved all the evidence of what I’ve done to a secure place.
I already knew that Director Kim was the biological father of the daughter born to Ji Seung-hee. But is a child a successor? Who gives a considerable amount of money every month?
“I’ll admit to the minor things, but that’s something everyone knows is unavoidable when running a company.”
“…”
“There’s probably nothing to find even if you search thoroughly. You’re wasting your time.”
Dae-hoon didn’t think that Director Kim would have paternal affection for me just because of the title. He had a clear understanding of Director Kim, who had once been used and abandoned by a beloved woman, subtly ignored by his daughter, Ji Yuri.
He had never looked at Ji Seung-hee or Ji Yuri with affectionate eyes after denying his existence in front of me. Therefore, Dae-hoon didn’t ask him about the sin of deceiving me.
It wasn’t difficult to turn a person with a sense of guilt who had been used and abandoned into a loyal dog. Smiling, Dae-hoon thought of the dog waiting for him outside.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
