Hyesuk blinked slowly with a blank expression, awkwardly smiling.
“It seems like Mom has gotten old. You’re saying you’re pregnant? Now I’m hearing nonsense.”
“It’s not nonsense. I’m pregnant.”
Hyesuk’s mouth gaped open without reservation.
“Could the baby’s father be Song Jehyun?”
When the name Song Jehyun came up, Taehee’s face immediately frowned.
“Why is that name mentioned here now? How did Mom know that Jehyun senior came in?”
“He visited our house once before. He had some business in Ilsan, so he dropped by. Mom liked him so much. We talked for about 30 minutes.”
“Why did Mom meet a senior? You should have closed the door and sent him away!”
“Why would I do that? He treated you and me so well. Even now, if he still remembers and comes to see you, it seems like he’s sincere about it.”
During the months they were dating, Jehyun had come to Ilsan with Taehee every weekend.
Even with empty pockets, he always came with empty hands, treating Hyesuk warmly and affectionately, just like he did with Taehee.
Although he chose money over his daughter, he came to explain his circumstances to Hyesuk before going abroad for studies, apologizing tearfully.
He apologized, acknowledged it was shameful, and asked for understanding. He promised to succeed and return, then marry Taehee. He begged her to wait, believing in him.
At first, Hyesuk hated Jehyun for doing that.
But after a long time, when he succeeded and still remembered her daughter, the hatred melted away like melting snow.
“Mom, everyone has their circumstances. But do you accept everyone’s circumstances? No one is without sin, and no one is without mistakes.”
“…”
“The baby’s father is Sajun.”
Hyesuk made a surprised expression as if she couldn’t have imagined it.
“Really, Sajun knows you’re pregnant?”
“Not yet.”
“He wouldn’t be thinking of not telling, right?”
“He’ll have to say it.”
It’s not that she doesn’t intend to say it gently. Taehee calmly added with a calm expression.
“First, I’ll tell him that I won’t go on a business trip to France.”
This time, a very long sigh came out while speaking.
How did she get this opportunity, and with what mindset did she receive it?
But now that there’s a child, she can’t go on a business trip.
She needs to go to the hospital, but going to France will cause a lot of trouble, so she shouldn’t force it.
However, Hyesuk seemed pleased with the news.
“Of course, you shouldn’t go! You need to go to the hospital, and you need to prepare for the marriage with Sajun.”
“I’m not thinking about marriage yet.”
At the firm response, Hyesuk jumped up.
“What are you talking about? You’re pregnant, why aren’t you getting married?”
“I won’t marry just because I love him. Why should I, when it’s going to end up in divorce like enemies? It’s something we shouldn’t do to each other, and it’s something we shouldn’t do to the child.”
Even with a showroom friend and a contractual relationship, a showroom family without love was horrific to imagine.
Moreover, a marriage for the sake of the child without love would not end happily.
They would only hurt each other emotionally, scratch each other deeply, and eventually end up in divorce.
Forcing obligations of a father and husband onto Sajun, who didn’t have any feelings, would not lead to a good outcome.
“This one! Jun likes you too, right? Mom can tell that he likes you a lot.”
In response to Hyesuk’s words, Taehee let out a light sigh.
She wished it were true.
“I wish it were true, but I’m not sure about Jun’s feelings. When I was uncertain during the pregnancy, I asked Jun indirectly. I asked if he would consider having a child if we got married. But he emphatically said he would never have a child, with a dreadful expression.”
“Why?”
“He doesn’t like children, and he doesn’t have the confidence to be a father.”
This time, Hyesuk also remained silent, seemingly at a loss for words.
“If Jun really likes me, of course, we’ll get married. But if not, I won’t marry. I’ll announce the pregnancy, but I won’t force the role of a father on Jun if he doesn’t want it.”
To someone who doesn’t want the role of a father, it’s neither pleasant to make regretful remarks nor to beg.
Taehee herself felt miserable, but it became even more pitiful with the child.
Because she knows how much the child would be hurt by those emotionless eyes, just like Taehee herself was.
“So, you plan to raise the child alone without a father?”
There was concern in the eyes looking at Taehee.
“I’ll make an effort. If Jun has even a little bit of affection for me, I’ll try to draw out that feeling. Mom, your daughter isn’t ordinary, right?”
Taehee forced a smile as if to say not to worry.
But even with that smile, Hyesuk couldn’t dispel her concerns.
“Taehee, it’s so difficult to raise a child alone without a husband. How can I look at that? I can’t see it. I raised you alone. I clenched my heart countless times, thinking about dying. But why does my daughter have to go through this suffering… Hoo.”
Hyesuk, who couldn’t continue her words, finally burst into tears.
