After a bout of dry heaving, Eunjo looked at her disheveled face in the mirror.
Surprisingly, she thought she had managed to swallow the late-night meal without a hitch. Her stomach was in turmoil now, though.
But the more surprising event happened shortly afterward.
Right as she wanted to shower, standing under the showerhead—clang!
“…!!”
The sound of a fallen ring echoed in the bathroom as it hit the tiled floor.
Oh my goodness! Finally, freedom!
Joyfully, Eunjo carefully moved the fallen ring from the bathroom floor to the sink.
But it was just the beginning of another worry.
How should she return it? Should she give it to him directly? No, contact Secretary Kang? Ha… Should she just go to New York with Mina?
It was afternoon when Daon and Mina finally returned home. Upon seeing the child, Eunjo kissed his lips and touched his cheek.
“Did Daon have fun?”
“I was busy playing with Hoochu, you know.”
“Is that so?”
“Mom, when are we adopting a puppy? Mom is a liar.”
“…….”
This is a big problem. She had been putting it off for various reasons. Now there are much more urgent and complicated matters than adopting a puppy.
Eunjo looked at Mina with a pleading expression.
“Daon, let’s study today how people raise puppies in America with Auntie.”
“You feed them, take them for a walk, and love them! It’s not different just because it’s America!”
The astute child seemed to think that the adults were making excuses and clenched his fist.
“Why do you, such a smart boy, think Auntie keeps talking about America?”
“Mina!”
Eunjo widened her eyes towards Mina. After being silent for a while, she raised her voice unnecessarily against a child.
“Mom, Auntie told me to go to an English academy earlier! Do I have to go to an English academy? What about taekwondo?”
The child, who rushed into Eunjo’s arms, had a face that seemed to burst into tears.
“Daon, don’t you have a picture of Hoochu? Mom wants to see Hoochu too.”
Making a gesture urging Mina to quickly take out her phone, she said to her.
“Show Mom the picture of Hoochu. Auntie has a headache.”
Mina handed the phone to the child and quickly went into her room.
Mina found out she was pregnant.
Last night, Namhee, who shared the same bed with her, told her about a dream she had a while ago.
And she cautiously asked. Maybe she’s pregnant.
Surprised, Mina said no. But she thought it might not be an outright no.
“…Ah, really. I can’t live like this!”
She realized her period was late just a few days ago.
Mina glanced at the bag she had thrown aside. She had bought a pregnancy test at the convenience store before coming home.
Her parents are hopeful, but she is not happy. Because of her sister… It hurts her heart.
It’s been quite a while since she heard the story of infertility due to the accident.
“…What should I do.”
Monday.
Blackstone Partners Building, CEO’s office.
The gaze of Kwon Jaeha, looking at Lee Wonyoung, the head of the headquarters, sitting across from him, is composed.
He has just offered him the temporary CEO position.
Observing Lee Wonyoung, who calmly sips his tea without much disturbance, Jaeha thinks.
Just as expected, he is a son better than his father.
A surprising and quite welcome piece of news, yet Jaeha maintains his composure.
“It’s a bit surprising.”
“I understand. But I have carefully considered and reached a conclusion. I found someone capable of taking over JS at this point. You know that I have affection for the company, don’t you?”
“Well, having affection doesn’t mean everything is possible.”
Indeed, you know it well. Jaeha changed the leg he had been crossing.
Lee Wonyoung. If we were to speak of him, he is a man who was on Yun Eunjo’s list.
When Jaeha’s eyes were turned upside down investigating her relationships with men as soon as he arrived in Seoul.
The list he received back then just to satisfy his curiosity, even if the men around Eunjo were only exchanging glances.
Of course, he was excluded early on due to one-sided and simple admiration.
“…….”
The more he looks at it, the more he realizes he’s a decent person. Why is the judgment distorted again? Damn it.
“May I ask the reason for your sudden decision to go back?”
“Personal reasons have arisen.”
“By any chance… is Yun Eunjo also going with you?”
“…….”
“Oh, I apologize if that was an inappropriate question. I’m sorry.”
Jaeha, placing the now chilled teacup back on the table, threw his gaze far outside the window.
“No, it’s unrelated to her. And people seem to have quite a misunderstanding.”
“……?”
The distant, dry gaze returns to Lee Wonyoung, and Jaeha lets out a faint trace of a smile.
“Well, it’s not some great relationship or anything like that.”
“…….”
“Just a small childhood connection, you know?”
I deeply examined Lee Wonyoung. The conclusion was a passing grade in abilities, personality, and even private life.
If he falls in love, he’s the kind of person who would cherish her for a lifetime.
Even if my blood weren’t mixed with his, he’s the kind of child with the character to raise a child well…
I wonder, what kind of opportunity am I giving Lee Wonyoung now?
Jaeha used his index finger to trace his distorted eye area.
And why now?
Why is that brat’s cute voice coming to mind?
‘Mom likes the man! Chaelin sometimes pinches me, but it’s not because she hates me!’
The kid who said those words had cutely grinned.
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.”
