Starting the day after being shocked by her weight, Tae-hee began a rigorous regimen of skincare and dieting. She received skincare and full-body massages at a dermatology clinic in a building, and a personal trainer, whom Sa-jun called, was assigned to Tae-hee one-on-one.
Thanks to this, a month later, when Tae-hee was discharged from the sanatorium, she was only 5 kilograms away from her previous weight.
However, Tae-hee’s severity didn’t end there.
The moment she arrived home, Tae-hee declared to Sa-jun, “For the next two months, I’ll personally raise Juwon. If it gets tough, don’t think about stopping me; I’ll ask Mom for help.”
Upon Tae-hee’s words, Sa-jun recalled the wedding date.
It was two months later.
The doctor said that about three months after childbirth, the body would be sufficiently recovered. Sa-jun had planned the day with the honeymoon in mind, intending to release the long-suppressed stamina and enduring desires that he had held back for a long time.
However, instead of preparing for the wedding, she declared that she would take care of the baby. Sa-jun was perplexed about how to accept this.
“You know I’ll be back to work right after our honeymoon ends, right?”
Instead of asking if someone who knows that is going to see the child directly, Sa-jun bit his lips.
During her pregnancy, Tae-hee frequently met with Yong-jin and Hee-gu, excluding Sa-jun, and suddenly started studying hotel management one day.
Yong-jin suggested trying a new field, saying that it would be nice to challenge something other than what she had tried before.
“Even if you’ve tried it before, you should have basic knowledge. And who knows? If you do well, my dad might make you a hotel owner before I turn fifty.”
With a playful expression, Tae-hee revealed her cute ambition. She probably didn’t even dream about it.
The fact that Yong-jin, who was deeply in love with his daughter-in-law, recommended studying hotel management meant that he had already decided to give her the hotel.
In conclusion, she would start social life in a new company, industry, and position. Sa-jun wouldn’t object to that.
But taking care of the baby herself was something Sa-jun couldn’t understand.
Since Ok-hee said she would raise her grandson, it was enough to hire a skilled sitter and helper.
Money overflowed, and raising a child in an objective and systematic way by experts seemed more appropriate than parents raising them.
At least, that’s what Sa-jun knew about parenting. The education of the nobility in conglomerate families begins from birth.
Sa-jun’s dilemma deepened because he didn’t expect conflicts in parenting education.
Now, how to cope with this so that Tae-hee doesn’t get upset, smoothly overcome it, and persuade her. Tae-hee nonchalantly continued talking without knowing Sa-jun’s inner turmoil.
“So, until I go to work, I’ll give all my time to our son. That way, I’ll feel less guilty.”
There is no law that parents must sacrifice unconditionally, but sacrificing more doesn’t necessarily make the size of love bigger.
Sa-jun loved the baby, but he hoped Tae-hee wouldn’t lose balance in her parents’ and her own life.
Tae-hee, who didn’t understand his pace, was only cruel to Sa-jun.
After a long time, Sa-jun cautiously spoke, “Min Tae-hee, how about prioritizing quality over quantity.”
Don’t judge the size of love based on the time you invest, Tae-hee.
“A baby is just a baby. Don’t pour all your energy into him every day. Just a few hours a day…!”
Sa-jun, after a long time, was pulled toward Tae-hee as she grabbed the back of his head.
With a look that said, “What’s all this,” Tae-hee exhaled lightly.
“Kang Sa-jun, it’s not just any baby. It’s our baby.”
Who doesn’t know that? As they looked at each other with eyes that said this, their faces came closer.
With a gentle gaze, Tae-hee looked at Sa-jun, whispering as if coaxing and soothing.
“So, can’t you love our baby like you love me?”
Sa-jun didn’t answer. No, he couldn’t answer.
Whatever Min Tae-hee wanted, he would do, but this was beyond his authority.
He knew only one thing, and that was Min Tae-hee.
But how to share that sentiment and love both of them. If he knew, he would do it, but he didn’t know, so he couldn’t.
Sa-jun’s stubborn silence was stimulated by Tae-hee’s fingertips like a scalp massage.
This is cheating.
Closing his eyes slowly at the strange touch that gently stroked his scalp like a caress, when he opened them, Tae-hee had pressed her lips against his.
The start was as soft and light as a feather, but at some point, the two were entwined on the sofa, exhaling hot breaths.
The logical and chill thoughts that had frozen his mind melted in that heat.
After the kiss, Tae-hee’s face pushing Sa-jun’s shoulder away was casual enough to be irritating.
“Kang Sa-jun, do you know why I grew up well in such a shitty environment? It’s because of my mom’s love. Even though the environment is important for a child to grow well, a parent’s love is the most important.”
Listening, it made sense.
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.”
