“I have a feeling that my wife’s accident was not a simple one.”
“What, what are you talking about, Chae Ha? That woman fell off the seawall with her car!”
“That’s what happened, if you believe what’s known to the world.”
“What, what else is there?”
“In the sorrow of losing my wife, I overlooked a few points that are now evident. Why did the black box disappear when the car was pulled up, why did my motherinlaw leave the world immediately after my wife’s accident.”
“Of course the black box would have disappeared from being in the water! And your motherinlaw or whatever was already on her last legs!”
Heo Young Joo, who had once again blurted out a lowgrade comment without realizing it, quickly closed her mouth at her husband’s look.
Then, Chae Ha murmured lowly, coldly scratching his throat.
“It’s strange. Mother, you seem to really want to insist that my wife’s accident was just an accident.”
“That’s not it……!”
“Well, it’s okay. I have no intention to question you here. I will respect you as a son should. However.”
“……”
“That is only the case if you also fulfill your duties as a mother.”
A tense atmosphere circulated between them.
Chairman Kwon Kang Ho was staring at the two hats with an unreadable expression.
In the face of intense tension, Chae Ha wrapped up in haste, threw the final words and rose from his seat.
“If my mother were to betray the proprieties, I would never forgive her.”
Unable to hide his trembling shoulders, he left Chae Un’s house with Hye Young Joo behind.
The stuffy sigh mingled with the early summer air and burst out.
“Sigh….”
He’d meant to bluff, but Hye Young Joo’s reaction was too transparent.
There was no doubt that his mother was involved in Seol Won’s accident five years ago.
However, it didn’t seem like her, who knew nothing but to translate her ill temper into onedimensional behavior, would have carefully planned the incident.
Then the answer was one.
“Baek Sa Ra….”
The person who would benefit from Seol Won’s death. The person who detested her existence as much as his mother. It was Baek Sa Ra.
A bluish bloodline bulged in Chae Ha’s hand holding a paper bag containing dessert.
At first, he thought the reason Seol Won pretended not to remember was because of him being so indifferent and heartless.
But the more he thought about it, the more his conviction that there was something grew.
Hye Young Joo, Baek Sa Ra.
If the two were the ones who made her disappear from his world.
Even if it was his mother, Chae Ha had decided not to forgive.
Because the past five years without her had been worse than hell for him.
“Manager Yoon, have you checked what I asked for?”
“Yes, Madam. I brought it here.”
“Hurry up and give it to me.”
Hye Young Joo put on the glasses left on the table and sharply snatched the item handed over by her righthand man, Manager Yoon.
The item of her request was none other than a photo of Chae Ha’s son.
“He was guarding the door and secretly took it this morning.”
“……”
“He’s called Woo Ju.”
“Woo Ju?”
Hye Young Joo stared at the face of a child brightly smiling in the small photo.
This child is Chae Ha’s son?
Indeed, his eyes, nose, and overall ambiance resembled a lot to Chae Ha’s when he was young.
Looking at the photo of the child smiling brightly with a childish innocence, unlike Chae Ha who was overly serious from his childhood, felt strange.
“Don’t you have a bigger picture?”
“What?”
“Manager Yoon, you know I have bad eyes. You should have brought a bigger one!”
“Even so, it’s a magnified image of the child’s face. You should be able to see it well.”
“I mean, these days, Manager Yoon’s work is always missing something.”
Snorting, Hye Young Joo pushed her head closer to the photo.
The clearer she saw his facial features, the more it overlapped with Chae Ha’s childhood face.
He used to be a son who listened to my words well, but it made her increasingly angry.
“Humph! Who would acknowledge a child born of such a shabby woman as Chae Un’s grandchild?”
After throwing the photo onto the marble table, Hye Young Joo arrogantly crossed her arms.
The moment was ripe for Director Yoon to retrieve the photo in the face of her displeasure.
“Does this child go to a daycare center?”
“Ah, yes. The picture was taken when he was going to the center. It seems like he attends somewhere not too far.”
“Where?”
“Pardon?”
Director Yoon scrutinized Heo YoungJoo from behind her glasses with a perplexed expression. Given his specialization in background checks, he was already aware of the daycare the child attended.
However, he was not inclined to provide such detailed information to the lady, who was already displeased with the child’s existence.
When he didn’t answer, Heo YoungJoo took off her high prescription glasses and squinted.
“Where does this child go to the daycare center?”
“Ah… to the Leaf Daycare Center.”
“Let’s go.”
“Pardon?”
“I can’t see the picture well because my vision is cloudy. I need to go in person and verify if it really is Chae Ha’s child.”
And so, an hour later, Director Yoon and Heo YoungJoo arrived at the Leaf Daycare Center.
Heo YoungJoo, who replaced her glasses with sunglasses, craned her neck to peer inside.
“Didn’t you say it’s almost playtime? Why aren’t they coming out?”
“They’ll be out soon. Lady. Please wait a little longer. Don’t keep moving forward like that. You might get caught.”
“Who’s moving forward?”
Heo YoungJoo irritably shook off Director Yoon’s restraining hand.
Upon this, Director Yoon sighed as if to show her and asked a question.
“What difference does it make if you see in person, Lady? The Vice Chairman already completed the paternity test, didn’t he?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! You have no idea how frightening that boy Chae Ha is. He’s my son, but you never know what he’ll do. He might have even manipulated whatever result you’re talking about!”
“Why would he do that? Why would the Vice Chairman take a child that’s not his?”
“What if Min Seol Won lied about the child being Chae Ha’s? Then it would really be a disaster! I have to see it with my own eyes to be sure!”
Director Yoon soothed Heo YoungJoo, who was almost delusional.
He had also seen the photo earlier and was immediately sure that the boy was Kwon Chae Ha’s son.
“So, what will you do when you see him? If he really is the son of the Vice Chairman and the young lady?”
“Of course, I have to punish him. Do you think I’ll let that woman’s son go easily?”
“That’s strange. Where could Si Woo’s friend Chika have gone?”
Even as she tilted her head, Da Jung nonchalantly entered the bathroom and opened the cabinet. Fortunately, there was a spare children’s toothbrush left.
As she put the new toothbrush in the kindergarten bag, Da Jung gave Si Woo a task.
“Si Woo, when you get to kindergarten, give this to your teacher and write your name on it, okay? Got it?”
“Yes!”
