With a faint voice, Hyuk Joo left the bedroom.
As soon as the bedroom door closed, her legs gave way as if collapsing.
She wanted to burst into tears, but she couldn’t make a sound. She just put her palms on the floor, her shoulders shaking.
Drip, drip, drip.
Thick teardrops fell onto the floor like a sudden downpour.
Afraid that Hyuk Joo might come back into the room and see her like this, Eun Soo choked back her sobs.
After washing her tearstained and messedup face, she lay in bed and spent the night wide awake.
When the faint dawn light began to filter in through the window, the bedroom door opened again.
Hearing Hyuk Joo’s footsteps approaching the bed, Eun Soo tightly closed her eyes.
A long stream of tears flowed down from under her closed eyelids.
“……”
Feeling the weight of Hyuk Joo who wrapped his arms around her, Eun Soo closed her eyes again.
Hyuk Joo pressed his lips against Eun Soo’s nape.
I’m sorry. His soft voice scattered slowly into the air along with his deep breath.
What are you sorry for?
Eun Soo wanted to turn around right then and ask Hyuk Joo that.
But knowing too well what would come out of Hyuk Joo’s mouth if she asked, Eun Soo couldn’t do it.
All she could do was pretend not to know and burrow into Hyuk Joo’s embrace, his arms wrapped around her waist, their lips meeting.
On the way to her mother’s hospital, she received a call from her father to meet.
After her mother’s collapse, she and her father had become like strangers, no, worse than strangers.
However, after marrying Hyuk Joo, her father had been reaching out to Eun Soo more frequently.
Eun Soo’s father, Oh Joo Hwan, was the president of Myeongjin Apparel.
Myeongjin Apparel was an affiliate of Myeongjin Group, Eun Soo’s inlaws’ company. It was the smallest among the affiliates, but Oh Joo Hwan’s ascension to the position of president was thanks to Eun Soo’s marriage.
However, Oh Joo Hwan was not satisfied with his position.
He did not hide his ambition to move to a larger affiliate company in front of his daughter.
Every time she saw her father spewing out the unconvincing words that if he succeeded, she, as his daughter, would also be able to hold her head high in her inlaws’ house, Eun Soo was dumbfounded.
“If you have any business, say it. I was on my way to the hospital for my mom.”
Eun Soo said in a cold voice as she sat down.
“Why are you going there so often every day when there are caregivers?”
“Because she’s my mom.”
“She’ll be well taken care of in the hospital, tsk tsk.”
Eun Soo did not even give a glance to Oh Joo Hwan, who was clicking his tongue.
Whether he had already had half of his meal and some drinks before she arrived, there was a faint smell of alcohol every time Oh Joo Hwan opened his mouth.
Eun Soo just drank water, looking down at her share of the meal.
“Didn’t you chase that guy away in front of the sickroom last time?”
“Who are you talking about?”
“……”
At Eun Soo’s sharp question, Oh Joo Hwan could only grimace and say nothing. But he was a man without a conscience.
It was pointless to expect any conscience from him who had an affair with his wife’s best friend from the beginning.
Oh Joo Hwan did flinch momentarily at his daughter’s cold retort, but his brazen momentum did not die down.
His argument was that if he showed a defeated attitude, the other party would take him lightly.
“What are you going to do by chasing away the man who came to apologize to your mother?”
“He came to apologize to mom?”
“Yes!”
“If he really felt sorry, he wouldn’t have walked around with such a brazen face.”
“What?”
“Just because he shed a few tears in front of my bedridden mother and said he was sorry, he thinks he has apologized, that his sins are absolved, that he came to get a kind of absolution.”
“Why are your thoughts so twisted?”
Oh Joo Hwan clenched his fist and slammed the table.
Unfazed, Eun Soo stared into Oh Joo Hwan’s face and shot back.
“If that woman shows up in front of mom’s sickroom again, I’m going to tell Hyuk Joo.”
“What, what?”
When his soninlaw’s name came out of Eun Soo’s mouth, Oh Joo Hwan was momentarily taken aback.
Although he was a soninlaw, he was practically the one holding the reins of his life.
“That you, father, want to step down from the position of the president of the apparel.”
“……”
“So, father, you better control your woman properly.”
Eun Soo spoke with a shrug, firmly and decisively.
Whether her threatfilled words had an effect or not, Oh Joo Hwan tightly closed his mouth. Then, after a moment, he let out a deep sigh and poured himself a drink.
After emptying a few glasses grudgingly, Oh Joo Hwan asked with a flushed face.
“Why haven’t you had a child yet?”
“If you’re going to bring up useless talk, I’ll get up now.”
“Useless? Right now, what you need most is a child!”
Eun Soo closed her eyes tightly.
Oh Joo Hwan pulled out a fairly hefty envelope from under the table and extended it in front of Eun Soo.
“It’s your medical record.”

really disliked him
