The man who killed my daughter is the father of Yul’s tutor? What was he thinking…?
Gyo Hwan, no matter how hard he tried, couldn’t comprehend the situation. He opened the window to cool his overheated mind.
“What is it? Is there a problem?”
Team Leader Nam rose from his seat and observed Gyo Hwan, whose damp hair was being hit by the harsh wind blowing in from the window.
“Don’t mention anything to Teacher Bong.”
Click. Opening a bottle of water, Gyo Hwan gulped it down, feeling the chilling sensation in his throat, and then crumpled the bottle, throwing it in the trash.
Firstly, I need to check whether Father was aware of this situation and still made this decision.
Ding.
As he exited the elevator, Soonhye was lingering near the office door labeled with Gyo Hwan’s nameplate.
“Oh? Grandma, what brings you here?”
As Gyo Hwan eyed her cautiously, Team Leader Nam took a step toward Soonhye.
“Why are you here?”
With a stern look, Gyo Hwan stared at Soonhye, his gaze almost fierce.
“I’m sorry for coming without notice.”
Soonhye, acting as if she committed a grievous mistake, lowered her head.
“Come in.”
Following Team Leader Nam, Soonhye sat opposite Gyo Hwan on the couch in the office.
“Team Leader Nam, you may leave now.”
Although he found Gyo Hwan’s abruptness peculiar and wanted to know the background of the situation, the thick soundproof doors barred any sound, leaving Team Leader Nam in the dark.
“It’s been a while. I’ve always wondered how you’ve been and the child.”
Remembering the youthful face from back then, Soonhye gazed fondly at Gyo Hwan, now aged with time.
“Each anniversary, I would think the child must be a year older now, must’ve started school. I never dreamt that Hyo Jin would be teaching the child born on that day. It seems it’s best to die young.”
If that had happened, I wouldn’t have seen this day.
“What brings you here?”
Gyo Hwan’s sharp eyes cut off her words. This formal exchange felt not just meaningless but also detestable to him.
My wife died because of who…!
“Thank you. For not saying anything to Hyo Jin yesterday. I should’ve inquired more when Professor Kim Yonghoon introduced her to the tutoring position.”
I always thought it was eccentric of him to help Hyo Jin, knowing she was the family of the driver responsible, but I never thought he’d go this far.
“So… you’re saying Father knew about this?”
Is there such a madman?
Surely not. He wouldn’t have known.
Clutching at straws, Gyo Hwan tried to understand his father-in-law, but it felt like sinking into an abyss.
“Hyo Jin talks about the child a lot. She says he’s adorable and lovable. Even if I asked her to stay another night, she’d always leave saying she missed the child.”
Who would’ve known that child was the son born when his mother died in an accident caused by me?
Why couldn’t she recognize him even after seeing his photos?
Soonhye felt like it was all her fault; her heart felt constricted.
“Please, don’t say anything to Hyo Jin.”
Knowing she was being shameless, Soonhye had come here early in the morning to make this plea.
“I’ll take responsibility and end it. But please, keep it a secret from Hyo Jin.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
