Desperate for a Catch (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 59

Seo Ji Woo had just returned home after going to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic for a routine checkup.

“Yeah, Mom. I just got back from the hospital a moment ago. Of course I did. They said I’m healthy—the baby’s heart is beating well too. No, don’t even think about coming over. I’ll take good care of myself. It’s just that my husband seems to dislike you visiting our house too often. Yeah, of course he treats me well. Okay, I got it. Don’t worry so much—just take care of yourself. Didn’t you say your back’s been bothering you lately anyway? Yeah. I’ll call you again soon.”

She sent the photo she’d taken today to her husband, Park Min Kwon.

It would’ve been better if he’d come with her, but he’d seemed unusually busy lately, so she’d gone alone again this time.

Contrary to her expectation that he’d call right away, two hours passed after she’d sent the message, yet she received no reply from him at all.

“What? Still haven’t seen it? You’re so busy. My dear husband.”

She took out the watermelon she’d bought from the supermarket and placed it plainly on the counter.

It wasn’t easy to cut it in half with her thin arms, but she had no choice.

Her husband had recently suggested hiring help now that she was pregnant, but Seo Ji Woo immediately refused.

Her mother-in-law—that is, more precisely, her husband’s mother—had firmly forbidden them from hiring household help even before their wedding.

“To be honest, I don’t like you at all. I really can’t understand why my son brought you home, claiming he wanted to marry you. Frankly, I don’t care for you one bit. You already know the reason anyway—you don’t need me to spell it out. Weren’t you a news anchor? Why did you quit? Don’t tell me you gave it all up just to snag a rich man and change your fate?”

The mother-in-law’s sharp, insulting words hadn’t deeply wounded the good-natured Seo Ji Woo.

From the start, she’d anticipated this kind of opposition due to their differing family backgrounds.

Moreover, it was all true—she really had quit her anchoring job hoping to change her fortune, and despite knowing the significant age gap, she’d worked hard to win Park Min Kwon.

In the end, she succeeded and became the youngest daughter-in-law of the Han San Group.
