“Son.” As Chae Ha spat out the term with force, Secretary Jung’s eyes warmed like a sunset.
“I see. You both indeed look alike.”
“Ah. It’s still a secret from the child.”
Just before the universe reached them, Chae Ha firmly hushed.
Soon, the universe ran over, saying hello to both of them in turns.
“Hello~ I’m Universe. I’m my mom’s son.”
“Oh my, you’re good at greetings. How old are you?”
“I’m five~.”
“I see. Universe, why don’t you come to this grandfather?”
“Yes~!”
As Universe quickly embraced Secretary Jung, Seol Won, who had been watching, softened her lips.
There were so many elderly on the island that Universe naturally loved the grandfathers and grandmothers who adored him.
Even during meals, Universe was nestled between Secretary Jung and his son, chattering like a chick the entire time.
The head of the department, Jung, who had a child of Universe’s age, was very adept at handling the child.
And for some reason, Chae Ha was watching that sight all the time.
“Grandfather. Do you want to go see the yard with Universe? There are lots and lots of fun things!”
“This grandfather has sore legs so I’ll rest here with mom. You go with the uncle.”
“Yes! Then the little uncle~ and the giant uncle~ and Universe, the three of us will go!”
As soon as the meal was over, Universe, excited, grabbed the adults on either side and ran out into the yard.
As for the little uncle, who knows what, he gave a faint smile and Seol Won headed for the kitchen to prepare dessert.
She remembered Secretary Jung liking the watermelon punch she often made.
“It’s really good to see.”
During the punch preparation, Secretary Jung was staring out of the living room window.
“To see such a scene, this old man’s tears are about to fall out of nostalgia.”
“I’m sorry, Secretary Jung. There were some circumstances earlier….”
Seol Won carefully explained to him about the incident earlier.
Secretary Jung, the only person she trusted here, she believed even if she told him the truth, it wouldn’t reach Chae Ha’s ears.
More than anything, she did not want to lie to him, who always treated her like a daughter.
“It’s okay. It must have been so. Because of that, you say you don’t remember the Vice President?”
“……Yes. It’s hard to explain everything now.”
“I see. But there’s one thing, a fact that I wish the young mistress knew.”
And then, a very unexpected story flowed from his mouth.
“While the young mistress was not here, the Vice President really suffered a lot.”
“……Yes?”
Still looking out of the window, Secretary Jung calmly continued.
“I’ve never seen the Vice President like that before. Not even when his brother passed away. Because he is a very coldhearted person. But after the young mistress disappeared, the Vice President was, how should I say……. like a person who left their heart out. Like a person who was left with only a shell.”
“What is…….”
Feeling her heart strangely throb, Seol Won lent her ears to Secretary Jung’s words.
“Perhaps the young lady would not believe me if I told what I’ve seen. I don’t understand why people believe there are only tenacious women in the world. In my eyes, the Vice President was the best among husbands who can’t forget their wives.”
“……”
“Anyway, I’m glad you’re back. I was always worried, watching over you.”
“Yes……”
With a flustered feeling, a rather awkward smile was formed.
Then, Secretary Jeong stood up from his seat, saying that he would personally go and call the space crew.
Watching him, Seol Won fell into deep thought.
Could the words that Chae Ha confessed and muttered to me really have been true?
What was his appearance like while I was unsure, for Secretary Jeong to say such words?
Although curious, she could not dare to ask.
Because, she had an instinctive feeling that once she knew, it would be even more difficult to turn her steps away from this house.
“How is it? What did you find in your investigation?”
After finishing eating the watermelon, Chae Ha called Secretary Jeong into his study.
Already, Woo Joo seemed to regard Director Jeong as a 7thranked father, and was deeply engrossed in playing with him in the room.
When told that the two had something to discuss, Seol Won naturally moved out of the way.
After looking around the study once, Secretary Jeong slowly opened his mouth.
“About five years ago when the accident happened, the elder lady and Baek Young Group’s Miss Baek Sa Ra did indeed meet quite frequently.”
“Is that so?”
“But it seems there were no special movements from the two. As you know, Vice President, the elder lady continued to meet with Miss Baek Sa Ra, unable to give her up even after getting married.”
“Haah……”
Chae Ha let out a sigh while holding his throbbing forehead.
For several years now, his mother, who left a perfectly good daughterinlaw at home and did absurd things outside, had been unbearable.
“Please investigate more deeply and widely for now. There must be something that catches on. There’s no way they met frequently to eat and shop just before such a big incident.”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
