“I didn’t expect to meet again here. I appreciated this morning.”
Ye Seul’s lips curled up in a thankyou.
“You two know each other? Then business talk will be quick.”
Sebastian showed a happy expression.
“I’m planning to run a C2 store for a limited time, focusing on C2’s chocolate. Chloe, it’s going to be a great opportunity.”
Sebastian’s blue eyes, full of dreams, shone beautifully.
At Sebastian’s passion for dessert, Ye Seul had no choice but to weaken.
If it hadn’t been Baek Si Heon, she would have agreed immediately.
“What about progressing the conversation over a meal together?”
Ye Seul couldn’t hide her discomfort and nervous feelings.
“Sebastian. I have something to do in the kitchen today….”
Her mouth wouldn’t open at the thought that she had to reveal to Si Heon that she was his wife.
Considering he was wearing a wedding ring, it seemed he was aware of being married, yet they had been oblivious of each other’s existence for 7 years.
How could such a thing happen?
To meet her husband, whom she hadn’t met once in the past 7 years, twice in one day!
Suddenly, the day they decided to get married came to mind.
‘If I die, you will need money and time until you can stand alone, Ye Seul. Think of it as the last wish of a crazy old lady and get married.’
Okja, realizing she didn’t have much time left due to terminal cancer, thought of a place to take care of Ye Seul until she could stand alone.
If she died, her high schoolaged Ye Seul would need support for the study she wanted to do, and there was no way her son Chun Ho would provide it.
Chun Ho had been eating away at Okja’s wealth, so he had no room to take responsibility for Ye Seul’s future.
The first person Okja thought of was Baek Byung Suk.
Baek Byung Suk. The chairman of Baek Song Group.
Byung Suk was clearly profitable, harsh and cruel enough to bite his tongue, but on the bright side, he was a person of conviction and wisdom.
He had a strong attachment to his family and couldn’t stand others touching his people.
Okja thought that Ye Seul becoming his family was the way for Ye Seul to secure her future.
Byung Suk and Okja had spent some time together in a traditional Korean snack workshop when they were young.
Unlike Byung Suk, who just wanted to survive because he had no place to eat or live, Okja got into the master’s eye because she was talented.
Byung Suk left there and chose an easier way to make money, and he didn’t choose the means and methods to reach his current position.
During those days when he had many enemies due to his aggressive business expansion, there was an incident where Byung Suk’s daughter Kyung Hee was kidnapped.
Ok Ja had come to Seoul to supply highend traditional Korean confectionery gift sets to chaebols, and witnessed Kyung Hee being dragged away by a suspicious group on her way home from school.
She called Byung Suk but he didn’t answer, so she chased the car on her own and rammed into it with her own vehicle.
Thanks to Ok Ja’s courage, Kyung Hee safely returned to her family.
Due to Ok Ja’s firm refusal of any reward, Byung Suk felt uncomfortable, as if he owed her a debt.
Moreover, it was Ok Ja who had informed him that his daughter, whom he cherished, had fallen in love with a penniless man and was dying of cancer in a remote countryside village, and persuaded his stubborn daughter to come back to him.
“Either give me all your wealth or compensate me in some way.”
Byung Suk wanted to settle this debt in some other way since Ok Ja refused even if he handed over money.
Seeing through his intention, Ok Ja suggested giving Byung Suk a workshop, asking him to take care of Ye Seul.
And she added one more condition to this.
“You, Baek family. I know you’re loyal, but I also know you can be untrustworthy. I can only sleep soundly if you put your cherished son, Kyung Hee, as collateral.”
Knowing Byung Suk well, who always acted upon cost and benefit, she could not trust him simply by asking him to take care of Ye Seul.
In order to make Ye Seul a clear person of Byung Suk, Ok Ja suggested marriage.
“I, Ok Ja, admit that I owe you, but I have no intention of dragging this debt till my death. I’ll agree to your deal, but I can’t just take a loss. If you put conditions, I’ll put one too.”
Cunning Ok Ja knew Byung Suk too well.
As expected, Byung Suk didn’t refuse but put a condition.
“The point of being independent after finishing studying. Yes, about 7 years sounds good. Let’s call it a day on this contract marriage then. It’s a marriage of convenience. Kyung Hee failed, but that doesn’t mean my grandson should. Although the first time failed, the second time has to be used properly.”
A marriage with divorce in mind.
However, it was certain that during that period, Byung Suk would definitely protect Ye Seul within his fence.
It was better than watching his granddaughter grow up suffering.
7 years ago, the strategic marriage arranged by the grandmother and Chairman Baek Byung Suk was decided, and the photos of the two were exchanged.
