‘Ji An is also your daughter.’
‘You said you would forget. The one who said they would raise her after giving birth was you.’
‘How can a mother say such things? Are you planning to never look back unless I die?’
‘If you don’t die, that’ll be fine. When Ji An was hospitalized because she was sick, thinking about Genesis almost being kidnapped still makes my head stand on end.’
Jae Yoon knew how hard it had been for Eun Ji, who had vowed to raise only Genesis well, when she unexpectedly got pregnant with Ji An.
It must have been even more difficult since it was around the time Genesis started getting attention with her violin.
She had suffered from pregnancy toxemia due to the excessive schedule, and Genesis had even fallen seriously ill when left in someone else’s care. Let alone she almost got kidnapped.
Genesis, who had gone through all of that, provided Eun Ji with the dreams and fame she hadn’t been able to achieve, and even wealth.
The greed Eun Ji had for Genesis transferred entirely to the young Ji An. But unlike her older sister, Ji An didn’t follow along obediently and continually grated on her nerves.
Unable to accept Ji An for who she was, Eun Ji eventually turned her back on her.
Jae Yoon swallowed a bitter laugh. It seemed that there was no place for Ji An in his wife Eun Ji’s heart.
He was filled with worry about how hard it would be for Ji An, who turned her back on her family and was living alone.
“‘Absolutely useless’. Is that something you say to your child?”
Jae Yoon’s voice revealed his deep anguish.
“Oh my! Did I say that? …… It was a mistake. Why are you so sensitive? I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings.”
The one Eun Ji was apologizing to was not Ji An, but Ha Joon. There was no sign of remorse in her actions or tone.
Ha Joon responded in a stiff voice.
“Yes. I was a bit surprised.”
Ji An puffed out her cheeks like a senseless doll and ate her food diligently.
It wasn’t the first time she had heard such things, and if she had to rank them, it would be a ‘low’ difficulty level.
Why would mom do this much to me? I used to wonder about the reason, but not anymore. Thinking, ‘there must be a reason to hate someone,’ made it much easier to understand my mother.
Wanting to get out of the uncomfortable position, she busily moved her spoon.
Rrrrr. Rrrrr.
Ji An’s voice rose a tone as she looked down at her phone.
“Huh? It’s the publishing house.”
Having glanced at Ji An’s phone, Ha Joon saw the clock displayed on the screen. It seemed to be an alarm, not a call.
He coughed lightly, covering his lips with the back of his hand, looking at Ji An who was acting nonchalantly.
That sly one, even thought of a way to escape.
The strangely twisted lips and sneer of Eun Ji, every time she looked at Ji An, were uncomfortable and seemed so unrealistic as to be hard to believe. To the extent that Ha Joon’s face, which usually didn’t show much emotion, became rigid.
As Ji An turned towards the window, saying “Yes” repeatedly, continuing her pretend call, Ha Joon spoke up.
“I had a good meal. It seems Ji An is busy today. …Seeing a call from the publisher, it seems she has to go.”
“It seems the books translated by Ji An are selling well. There are many publishers looking for her. Isn’t it?”
Jae Yoon asked Ha Joon with a forceful tone.
He wanted his wife to hear. He wanted to say that although she didn’t even give a glance, Ji An had grown up so well.
“Yes. That’s correct, Father.”
“Have you ever read a book translated by our Ji An? I have, because father showed me.”
At that moment, Eun Ji cut Genesis off with a chilly remark.
“Stop.”
The atmosphere grew cold again.
Ha Joon closed his mouth looking at Ji An, and Jae Yoon grimaced in pain.
Genesis looked at Eun Ji’s mood while clutching her skirt.
She knew that if she added even a single word, harsher words would return. Her mother had never considered herself as taking sides with her younger sibling.
Ha Joon’s sedan left the residential area of Samseongdong and entered the road.
Ji An, who was hitting her belly with her fist, covered her lips with her hand and frowned. To anyone watching, she was clearly full of discomfort.
It would be strange if she didn’t feel sick after eating that meal.
No matter how indifferent their relationship was, she must have hated showing it.
Guessing the reason, Ha Joon felt belatedly sorry. But it wasn’t bad to know about the hidden side of Ji An.
He stopped the car as a commercial building appeared, then turned to look at Ji An with a heavy expression.
“Wait, I’ll buy some medicine.”
“I’m fine. Just go.”
“Digestive and headache medicine will do, right?”
Startled, Ji An grabbed his arm as Ha Joon pulled the handle of the driver’s seat.
Ha Joon’s mother, Lady Yeon Woo, had always been generous to me. Even when I visited their family home without an appointment, she had never shown any discomfort.
Ji An, grimacing due to discomfort, opened her mouth with difficulty.
“I’m sorry. It was quite an uncomfortable situation, wasn’t it?”

really disliked him
