Jeonghyuk narrowed his eyes. Even without saying anything, his gaze was suspicious.
His reaction was expected, but with no prepared response, Dajeong awkwardly rolled her eyes.
“What’s going on?”
He asked directly. Listening, Dajeong also felt like her appearance might be perceived as scheming.
“What’s going on? Does Mr. Chae Jeonghyuk see me as an ambitious woman these days?”
While listening, Jeonghyuk made a satisfied sound and muttered something while poking at the rice soaked in ketchup.
“If being ambitious means I won’t go through this trouble, I’d rather not have ambition.”
Jeonghyuk was sure. If the woman in front of him was that kind of woman, it would have been much easier than it is now.
Usually, when you shake what I have like a sausage, it’s common for a stray puppy to smell it and follow, but this woman doesn’t waver even if she dies.
No, the more I think about it, the more suspicious it gets.
“Leaving all that aside, our old lady hates me a lot. A lot.”
How would I know that? But suddenly suggesting greetings? Insisting there’s no scheming even if she says so?
The thorn sticking in my words has been read through.
Dajeong only rolled her eyes. After all, I felt a little itchy, considering what I said, it was a bit irritating.
“When did I…?”
I tried to deny it.
“Last time when it rained. Mr. Chae Jeonghyuk’s grandmother said she really hates me! Don’t you remember?”
“…”
Ah, on that day when heavy rain poured down. On that day when the fierce late-summer rain poured down. Back then, I did find that rich guy who tried to bargain for my son with money quite detestable.
But now that I think about it, it’s suspicious.
“Could it be because of me?”
Even though half of the rice soaked in ketchup remained on the plate, he became serious and had put down the spoon for a long time.
“You don’t have to force yourself to do something you don’t like just because of me. I don’t like that.”
His guess was correct. It wasn’t just to repay a debt; she wanted to return something in a way that made him feel uncomfortable and sorry for just giving continuously.
In summary, it was like repaying the favor he did for Jeongae to his grandmother.
Of course, she knew he didn’t appreciate calculated seeking in everything. I’ve heard the warning not to lay out what will make me happy or try to play games with me many times.
Of course, it wasn’t purely because she wanted to repay a debt. Whenever she saw him treating Jeongae like her mother and taking care of her, Dajeong also felt the same sentiment.
But presenting such reasons would sound insincere, so Dajeong chose her words more carefully.
“Mr. Chae Jeonghyuk, really. This isn’t for me or for you.”
“No?”
“Yes. This is all for Siu.”
“…”
Surprisingly, Jeonghyuk opened his eyes wide. Then, as if ready to listen, he casually put his fist on his cheek.
“Think about it. Siu got a dad.”
“Right, Yoo Siwoo’s dad is incredibly handsome and cool.”
Even in a serious moment, self-praise was shameless.
“Regardless of our relationship, since Siwoo has a dad, it’s only natural to know that there’s a great-grandmother.”
In that context, Jeonghyuk wore a troubled expression.
“If you didn’t know, it wouldn’t be good to miss the timing with our decision without knowing that our great-grandmother is a great-grandmother forever.”
“When?”
“So, later, much later, if there is no great-grandmother, it will be too late to do anything. What if Siwoo resents us for not telling him sooner?”
Jeonghyuk thought seriously, clenching his jaw.
Even though he presented reasonably convincing excuses, what Dajeong really wanted to say was this:
‘Grandma seems to want to see our Siwoo a lot.’
Dajeong, who once resisted like a villain ruining her daughter’s marriage, was now a grandson she couldn’t resist embracing, sucking up, and adoring.
Moreover, being the child of a beloved grandson, how could he escape the notice and trampling of Chairman Park? It was enough to guess without asking.
Reaching this state of mind wasn’t easy for Dajeong.
However, no matter how hard she tried to indulge her own desires, it was uncomfortable.
Should she reject everyone who dislikes her and choose only good things, living comfortably inside her fence in a one-sided manner?
She believed there were things she had to protect, but as time went on, it became increasingly difficult to endure her own selfishness.
Beep! When I connected the intercom, a neat voice rang out.
“Director. Vice Chairman Oh Hyunki from Hansong Group is here.”
Jeonghyuk, who was flipping through a report, paused.
Vice Chairman Oh Hyunki?
“What should we do?”
It was a question about how to handle an unannounced guest. Jeonghyuk casually put down the documents.
“Let him in.”
After giving the order, he adjusted his slightly loosened tie and neatly arranged his wrinkled sleeves.
Then, the door opened, and a sophisticated man entered.
“Hey, Director Cha.”
