“Secretary Yoon, take him to the playground.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Upon Chairman Park’s instruction, Secretary Yoon approached promptly and extended his hand.
“Young Master, would you like to go on the swing with me?”
“Oh, yes!”
Jumping off the sofa, Siwoo rushed over and grabbed Secretary Yoon’s hand. Without looking back, they headed towards the entrance.
As Chairman Park’s gaze lingered on their retreating figures, the grinning Jounghyuk triumphantly clenched his fist.
“Grandma, isn’t my son cute?”
He might be a cute son, but I don’t understand why I have to meddle.
“Higher, higher!”

Excitedly urging, Siwoo kicked his feet in the air.
Separated from his son and struggling with separation anxiety, Jounghyuk had turned the garden into a playground, pushing Siwoo on the swing.
Jounghyuk’s gaze followed Siwoo like a metronome needle, swinging briskly from side to side.
“No, only up to here.”
Assertively stating, he touched the air to confirm the maximum height Siwoo’s feet could reach.
Disappointment filled Siwoo’s face all at once. It seemed the height for swinging hadn’t changed since he was four. Parents, like his mom and dad, never understood the thrilling height of a five-year-old.
“I want to slide, Dad!”
As the swing lost its charm, Siwoo’s interest shifted to the slide. When the swing came to a stop, Siwoo immediately ran to the slide.
With short arms and legs, Siwoo crawled up the stairs like a turtle and waved his hand.
“Dad! I’m here!”

Facing the excited son, who stood tall like Kilimanjaro’s peak, Jounghyuk waved back. However, amid this, the colorful and childlike play equipment felt strange and unfamiliar.
“It’s a bit strange, isn’t it? When I was young, I couldn’t even imagine such things…”
Muttering like a soliloquy, lost in thought, Yoon Secretary, who had been watching, smiled discreetly.
“I wonder if Chairman didn’t know what was best back then?”
“Really? I thought Grandma knew everything, but it’s surprising.”
Jounghyuk chuckled somewhat bitterly.
Perhaps the old man, who embraced his grandson instead of his son, was feeling impatient, not knowing what was best. So, maybe he couldn’t even consider whether his grandson wanted a top-quality wooden desk or a simple swing.
He might not have realized that he needed a friend, not a tutor from a top-tier university.
Meanwhile, left alone with the discomfort of being chased by his son’s backside, Dajeong felt painfully awkward.
Time stood still, and the silence became more awkward.

Even though she had sipped slowly, the teacup was empty before she knew it. The fruit plate was also emptied. Despite feeling full, continuously picking up food to avoid awkwardness, she feared that the contents might reflux if she got distracted.
There are no separate thorn cushions. If it’s this uncomfortable, wouldn’t it be better to live loudly as a daughter-in-law? At this moment, if I could be chased into the kitchen to do the dishes, I wouldn’t have any complaints.
With a clunk, the tea cup, which had descended from the old man’s hand, made a solid sound. Startled by unnecessary tension, Dajeong held her breath. Then, as expected, a stern voice flowed.
“Don’t mistake it just because you stepped into my house today.”
Well, why is it so abrupt? Seeing this, whether it’s a grandmother or a grandson, the blood relationship is unmistakable.
“What… do you mean?”
Dajeong replied with a wry smile, but Park Chairman’s eyes, lifting the tea cup again, sharply rose.
“I’m talking about marrying our Jounghyuk. I absolutely cannot allow it.”
“…”
What am I supposed to say again? Dajeong let out a sly laugh.
“Yes, yes, please never allow it. I told you last time, but you don’t need to worry about such things.”

Although she gave an answer with a somewhat gentle tone, it seemed to further disturb Chairman Park’s state of mind. Clunk! The elegant bone china tea cup echoed a sharp noise.
“You, I don’t know why you’re pushing this old man like this!”
Chairman Park thundered angrily. Surprised, Dajeong quickly raised her hands.
“That… wasn’t my intention. I wasn’t trying to meddle. No, not at all. Please don’t misunderstand.”
Despite Dajeong’s denial, Chairman Park’s judgment had already been distorted. Clearly displeased, Chairman Park stood up, his head raised high, and disappeared into a nearby room after opening a door.
Bang! The door closed roughly, making a loud noise. As the reverberations of the noise subsided, Dajeong, left alone in confusion, quickly reconsidered what mistake she might have made.
No, I didn’t say I would marry my grandson even if I died! It’s not like I vehemently opposed it, so why such a outburst?
Anyway, the atmosphere in the house itself was a bit strange. Whether it’s the grandmother or the grown-up men, they easily get upset and throw tantrums.
Then, is temperament hereditary? Perhaps I was worried that Siwoo might resemble them.
Hansong Group Headquarters, Chairman’s office.
