With sincere words, Su-yeon held Si-hyun’s hand with tears in her eyes.

“Our beautiful daughter.”

When Su-yeon thanked Si-hyun for raising Tae-ha, Si-hyun had said,

“If it weren’t for Auntie, I couldn’t have survived in that house. I just returned the love I received from Auntie.”

But there was something Si-hyun didn’t know. Su-yeon, too, might not have endured if it weren’t for Si-hyun.

After losing Tae-ha, Su-yeon lived like a half-crazed person. Then, she happened to meet a young girl in the house where she entered as a foster family.

A pitiful girl who had lost her parents at a young age and was living cautiously like a stray cat.

To that girl, Su-yeon poured out the love she couldn’t give to her son. Thanks to the child following her like a mother, Su-yeon could gradually overcome the pain of losing her son.

In other words, Tae-ha was her biological child, and Si-hyun was also a precious child no less than her biological child.

As the atmosphere was about to become teary-eyed, Tae-ha suddenly changed the topic.

“Oh, it’s my birthday this weekend.”

“Already? The date has come like that?”

Smiling, Si-hyun said,

“Instead of a gift, Tae-ha has a wish for you two.”

“A wish? What is it?”

“He wants us four to go on a family trip together.”

With the answer, Tae-ha took something out of his pocket and handed it to Su-yeon.

It was an ID card.

“A while ago, the family registration correction decision was made at the family court.”

Su-yeon was so surprised that she couldn’t close her mouth. To restore her status, a fairly complicated procedure was required, and it took several months, but…

“How did it happen so quickly…”

“My father worked hard.”

Tae-ha and Leon exchanged eyes full of laughter. Now that she thought about it, the two men were secretly preparing behind Su-yeon’s back.

“I deliberately didn’t mention it until the ID card came out to surprise you.”

Hee-sun Jeong.

Looking at her real name lost decades ago, Su-yeon was speechless for a while.

“Now you should call me Aunt Hee-sun.”

Following Si-hyun, Tae-ha also said affectionately.

“Now you can easily go to hospitals or government offices. You can even take a plane trip.”

Before she could answer anything, Si-hyun raised her hand excitedly.

“Now that Auntie’s ID card has come out, let’s all go to Jeju Island. I’ll pay for the plane tickets!”

“No need for that.”

Leon laughed and said,

“My private plane has been resting at the airport. I’ll have a good time flying it for the first time in a long time.”

“A private plane?”

Si-hyun swallowed her breath. Just thinking about it made her heart race. She had never even ridden business class before, and now, a private plane!

Looking at Si-hyun with rounded eyes, Leon suddenly made a sulky face.

“But I don’t know if your mother will go with us.”
The gazes of the three people turned towards Su-yeon at once. Leon, as if sensing the situation, Tae-ha, making a request, and Si-hyun, pleading with both hands gathered as if praying.

It was the first time Tae-ha had made a request since his son was born, and there was no way Su-yeon, or rather, Hee-sun, could refuse.

Eventually, Su-yeon, or rather, Hee-sun, sighed and nodded.

“…Alright.”

[Star Icon]

In the morning, while changing into her uniform to go to work, A-hyun received a call from a friend. It was the friend she had met at the Grand Hotel before.

[Dash] Wasn’t I right? The man we saw at the hotel, he was really Chairman Kennedy’s son!

Her friend seemed somewhat proud of recognizing the man’s identity at a glance.

[Dash] You seemed to have fallen for that man at first sight. What are you going to do? He’s not just a girlfriend; you’re about to get married soon.

A-hyun laughed instead of answering. Despite being close friends since high school, her friend still didn’t know much about A-hyun.

Since she was young, A-hyun had taken away many things from Si-hyun. The more precious it was to Si-hyun, the more satisfying it was when she took it away.

Even when she watched Chairman Kennedy’s press conference, instead of disappointment, the possessiveness burned even more. She would definitely take everything away. Not only that man, but even the love of that wonderful father.

[Dash] That aside, A-hyun, I’m bored. Want to go shopping together?

A-hyun, who had experienced it countless times, knew.

Proposing to go shopping together was an excuse. It meant she needed a maid who would just follow her, hold her bag, and praise her, even if it was just to compliment her on how pretty or well-matched everything was.

Even though there was a personal shopper, her friend enjoyed going shopping with A-hyun.

“I’m sorry, what should I do? I’ve been going to work since a while ago. I’m still at the office.”

[Dash] Going to work? Didn’t your mother prevent you from getting married and even from getting a job while you were learning bridal education at home?

“You know our family is just a small business. I have to earn to prepare for marriage.”

[Dash] So, where did you get a job?

“Just a small company. I’m still an intern.”

[Dash] Ah, an intern?

There was a mocking tone mixed in her friend’s voice.

[Dash] Don’t bother suffering for no reason. You should have talked to me. I’m sure our dad would have arranged a regular position for you.

Although she felt annoyed by the openly dismissive tone, A-hyun quickly changed her mind.

Soon, you won’t be able to raise your head in front of me. So, act like you’re great now.

“Thanks for caring. But I wanted to try on my own.”

At that moment, a firm voice was heard from behind.

“Chloe, please avoid personal calls during working hours.”

“Sorry, Manager.”

As she quickly ended the call and turned around, the name tag on A-hyun’s chest sparkled.

[Grand Hotel Intern Chloe Kang]
