“Madam and the CEO are coming down.”
Guided by Butler Pyo, CEO Kang Jaeik, who had been waiting in the reception room, bowed respectfully to Jahyeon as he descended the stairs, as if saluting a queen.
“I apologize for causing concern.”
While still bowing, Kang Jaeik glanced at Isabelle, who was standing beside him, and gave her a stern look.
“What’s wrong with this person? Can’t even apologize quickly. What a disgrace in front of the child. You should know better, as an adult!”
“I’m truly sorry, Madam.”
Jahyeon, who sat on the sofa, straightened his chin as if he were a queen and began his monologue.
“You. Haven’t seen such a person before, have you? It’s really too much. It’s not like I can’t understand the feelings as a mother, but how could you do that to Yul? And to a child who’s just 9 years old. Hanna, you! Saying you’ll get married and raise Yul without having another child. Was it all a play?”
“No, Madam. I would never think such a thing.”
Hanna, who still believed in Jahyeon, felt so unjust that tears welled up in her eyes.
“Madam, it’s not Hanna’s fault at all. It’s all my fault. I got so angry at the thought of that woman being called ‘mom’…!”
Seeing Isabelle’s eyes tense up like a drawn bow, Seung Yul came down from the sofa and quietly approached his dad.
Gyo Hwan lifted the child onto his lap, adding his warmth to his chilled fingertips due to tension.
Don’t worry. Dad is here.
“Seung Yul, I’m really sorry. Auntie came to comfort you in my place.”
Hanna opened the door first, as if paving the way in her heart.
“The lady feels sorry, so she brought so many gifts like this? Every time she feels sorry for Seung Yul, she buys him a toy, and that’s how they’ve accumulated so many, right?”
Seeing Gyo Hwan’s eyebrows rise, Isabelle approached Seung Yul with a kneeling step.
“Shall we solve it together here with the lady?”
The child who had come down from his father’s lap, seemingly intrigued, widened his eyes.
“Do you wear glasses, teacher?”
“Huh?”
Not only Isabelle, but also the adults around them were taken aback as if their weak points had been touched by an unexpected remark.
“The lady was going to get hurt, so the teacher rescued her instead, right? But why didn’t the teacher bring a gift?”
“Huh? Of course, the teacher also has a gift.”
“But why didn’t you come to say thank you? The teacher is hospitalized just downstairs. You’re lying in the hospital because of me, but if I reconcile with the lady, won’t the teacher feel bad?”
“Then reconcile with Seung Yul and go to the teacher together with the lady. Seung Yul should go to the lady first.”
Isabelle smiled and brought her face closer as if narrowing the distance in her heart.
“But what if I don’t accept the apology?”
“…Huh?”
“But even so, you’ll still say thank you to the teacher?”
“Well, isn’t that obvious?”
If he doesn’t do that, it will be too obvious.
Seung Yul, who had been looking at Isabelle, rolling his large pupils, nodded as if he had made up his mind.
“Well, then I won’t accept the apology.”
If I don’t apologize to the teacher because of me, I was considering forcibly accepting it for the sake of the teacher, but fortunately, there’s no need for that anymore.
“Why? Accept my apology, Seung Yul. Huh?”
“I don’t want to. If I reconcile, Dad and Aunt Hanna have to get married, but I don’t want Aunt Hanna to become my mom. So I won’t accept the apology. I don’t need gifts, so please take them and go.”
Confidently expressing his opinion, Seung Yul neatly folded his hands on his stomach and didn’t forget the courtesy of a belly button greeting.
“SSeung Yul?”
Gyo Hwan affectionately pulled Seung Yul, who had returned to his father’s lap, and made a pitiful sound as if he were in pain.
“Oh no, what should I do? My child is like this.”
While his face relaxed, the faces of Hanna and her family contorted as if they had been slapped.
“In that case, I have only one conclusion to announce, as I mentioned.”
“Oppa…!”
Hanna looked desperate as if he had aimed a gun at her, but he met her gaze without a hint of hesitation.
“I will break off the engagement.”
“YYou…!”
Gyo Hwan said there was no need for a separate conversation, getting up from his seat as if he didn’t need that.
“As you know, Mother, if I were single, it wouldn’t matter, but I have a child. I cannot enter into a marriage that my son doesn’t want. I believe the Chairman, being a parent who raises a child, will understand the position that forces me to make this decision.”
Leaning his wrist to check the time to visit Hyo Jin at the hospital, Gyo Hwan politely asked for understanding and stood up with Seung Yul.
“Is that so? Then, can I say something as a father raising a child?”
Jae Ik slowly stood up and firmly slapped Gyo Hwan on the cheek.
It was a sudden and unexpected event without a chance to meet each other’s gaze.
“…!”
Gyo Hwan’s jaw returned to its original position after being attacked defenselessly.
“Dad!”
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
