Youngran twisted her forehead as she looked at the silent Eunsoo.
“Did you forget how to greet people?”
“……Hello.”
Seeing Eunsoo reluctantly bowing her head, Youngran, as if finding it ridiculous, opened her mouth again.
“How have you been?”
“Fine.”
Eunsoo gave a brief answer to the question.
She didn’t want to engage in a long conversation with Youngran. There was a time when she felt grateful to her. However, that was a long time ago.
Now, realizing that all the kindness she showed was nothing but a facade, every action of Youngran didn’t sit well with Eunsoo.
Youngran, too, was sending a gaze of irritation, as if Eunsoo was getting on her nerves.
Feeling the cold gaze, Eunsoo lowered her hand under the table and covered her stomach.
She wanted to keep Youngran unaware of her pregnancy. So, Eunsoo deliberately didn’t get up from her seat.
She’ll leave soon.
Thinking so, Eunsoo lowered her gaze. However, Youngran, as if she had no intention of leaving, sat in the seat Hyukju had occupied earlier.
“Where’s Hyukju?”
Seeing her asking about his whereabouts, it seemed that Youngran had been observing this place from somewhere in the restaurant.
She had been asking all along, knowing everything. So, Eunsoo replied with an indifferent voice.
“He went to answer a call.”
“Make it brief.”
As if not wanting Hyukju to witness this situation, Youngran quickly continued speaking as soon as she mentioned him.
“He said he’s breaking up with me, and it’s not right to stab people in the back like this.”
“Things in life don’t always go as you plan.”
“Feelings, huh.”
Youngran sneered.
“I didn’t want to let go of Hyukju’s hand when I actually tried to.”
“You developed feelings.”
“Yes.”
Eunsoo admitted without any hesitation.
Even though she had no doubts about it.
Youngran frowned at Eunsoo’s attitude, which admitted it without any hesitation.
Although she didn’t know much, she was confident in her ability to read people to some extent.
The Eunsoo she knew was a child far from shameless. She was dignified, quietly enduring whatever she was told to do, which fell far short of the conditions compared to Hyukju.
However, the Eunsoo in front of her now seemed like a completely different person.
Seeing Eunsoo, who seemed to have no trace of hesitation, Youngran stared at her intently.
After maintaining silence for a while, Eunsoo spoke.
“Regardless of the reason, I apologize for not keeping the promise to Aunt.”
“Apologizing won’t solve everything.”
Youngran raised her hands above the table, clenching her fists.
She was shocked that a perfectly harmonious household had shattered into pieces because of one ordinary child.
This is why one should be careful about who they bring into the family.
Thinking she fell for that innocent face, her mouth twisted.
“How long are you going to hold onto Hyukju?”
“I’ve never held onto Mr. Hyukju.”
“If you’re not the one holding onto him now, what is it?”
“I’m just holding his hand.”
“Wordplay.”
Listening to Eunsoo’s story, Youngran couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Due to the upcoming investigation of the caught suspect, they had a strategy meeting combined with a meal with some law firm lawyers. Although there was a legal team within the group, they were not on Youngran’s side.
President Moon, whom Youngran thought was a scarecrow, had gradually created his own faction inside. Among several departments, the core financial and legal teams were directly influenced by President Moon.
The lawyers they met today advised Eunsoo to consistently deny any knowledge when questioned by the prosecutor. They reassured Eunsoo not to worry too much, advising her to defend herself appropriately when the other side reveals their cards.
Feeling good after the meal, Hyukju and Eunsoo appeared.
She knew that the two who had been in Jeju Island had come up to Seoul. Still, she thought they would come to greet her at least once. However, the two didn’t contact her at all.
Eunsoo must have pulled off some trick in the middle.
Youngran clenched her fist.
“I was foolish.”
Uttering self-pitying words, Youngran let out a deep sigh.
“I should have recognized you sooner, who cleverly deceived me by pretending to be in pain and entered my house. Even though you looked pitiful, I decided to trust you for the last time.”
“…….,”
“But to make a person look so ridiculous.”
“I apologize.”
“I didn’t say sorry to hear you apologize to me, did I?”
Not at all. Youngran added a mutter. She glanced at Eunsoo and raised one corner of her mouth.
“Now that it seems like you’ve become part of that man, do you find someone like me ridiculous now?”
“I’ve never thought that way. Hyukju and I resolved the misunderstanding, and we confirmed each other’s sincerity. I honestly don’t understand why I should apologize to Aunt for what happened between us as a married couple.”
Ending her words in a calm voice, Eunsoo spoke again.
“I will live with a lifelong sense of remorse for hiding the fact that I was in pain.”
