Canada time, 6 a.m.

Taehoejang and his wife, along with the staff, arrived at Vancouver Airport after flying for more than ten hours on a chartered plane. They headed straight to the Chilseong-class hotel in the city.

Taeseokho, who brought Cha Yeonjin to Canada without any explanation, set foot in the luxurious room before finally revealing the ultimate purpose to his wife.

“We need to adapt to the time difference, so let’s rest deeply for now. We plan to visit Professor Eom’s residence in the afternoon. And we’ll stay there for a few days.”

“Did you bring me here all of a sudden just to visit Professor Eom’s place?”

“Yes.”

“Did you come all the way here just for such a trivial matter, making it seem like a matter of life and death?”

Just by looking at her husband’s serious expression, it was evident that it wasn’t an unnecessary step. Yeonjin calmly spoke again in a composed voice.

“Don’t make people uneasy for no reason, and tell me the truth. Isn’t there something more?”

“I said I know, but how about taking a guess at what that something more might be?”

“What sudden nonsense! Are you joking right now?”

“It’s not that…”

With a mischievous smile, Taehoejang gently took Yeonjin’s hand with both of his hands. The touch was so affectionate that Yeonjin, feeling like a shy girl, blushed.

However, she knew that there must be a reason when her husband acted like this.

“Is there a serious problem with your heart? So, you’re asking Professor Eom for a reoperation?”

“Not exactly. There’s something more important.”

“So, don’t make it hard for people and spill it out quickly.”

“Fine. I’ll tell you everything, so don’t be surprised and listen well. In Professor Eom’s house, there’s a precious child like my heart.”

“!”

A child like a heart! Did this guy suddenly go insane?

“What on earth are you talking about?”

“I have my blood in that house.”

“Really, did you hear some ghost story?”

As Seokho kept saying strange things, Yeonjin’s forehead wrinkled.

“I can’t understand what you’re talking about at all!”

“Well, it’s something very tiny, but when you see that child, you’ll be surprised at how handsome he is. Besides, I can’t tell you how special he is.”

“!!!”

Yeonjin’s pupils vibrated like they were swept by angry waves. At the same time, she lost strength in her legs and collapsed onto the sofa, her face expressing disappointment and despair.

Normally, she wouldn’t be surprised, but in the face of her husband’s bizarre and unbelievable story, she couldn’t help but crumble.
Taeseokho, who passed on superior genes to his children, was particularly tall. Placing his well-built physique next to Yeonjin, he chuckled heartily.

“Even so, how can you steer people in that direction? I only know you.”

“If not, then what is it?”

As Yeonjin continued to gaze sharply at her husband, Seokho, tapping the armrest of the sofa with his hand, said,

“It’s about Seojun. It seems he had an accident before going to the military, and the world is quite small. The child’s mother is Professor Eom’s daughter. Seojun, including that child, was born in Canada, and we had no idea for the first four years.”

“W-What are you talking about? You don’t expect me to believe such a ridiculous story, do you?”

“You may not believe it, but it’s true.”

Although her husband enjoyed jokes, he had never spoken nonsense before. Therefore, Yeonjin had no choice but to accept Seokho’s absurd story as the truth. Her bewilderment was directed toward the eldest, Taeseojun.

“Seojun, this rascal of mine!”

“Seojun probably didn’t know either. But by now, he might have figured it out. Or maybe Eom Soyeon said something.”

“Soyeon?”

“That’s right. She’s someone Seojun has been meeting lately.”

“Ha. Then…”

The child’s birth mother in Professor Eom’s house…

In the entertainment industry, it’s well-known that Eom Soyeon is a single mother. Although she already knew this fact, she only now realized that Professor Eom’s daughter is that person. And from the first time they met at the hotel, there seemed to be a strange atmosphere between Seojun and her. So…

As all the pieces of the puzzle fit together, the answer pointed in one direction. Chayeonjin’s expression, which had unfolded like a puzzle, froze with a rigid look.

Ha! What is this guy doing with that kid?

“S-So, are you saying that Eom Professor’s daughter gave birth to Seojun’s child?”

“That’s right.”

The youngest, who had been treated with kid gloves, caused a major incident. Yeonjin not only found it hard to believe but also felt dreadful about the thought of meeting Soyeon’s parents and apologizing.

“Hah… my goodness!”

Even her nonexistent blood pressure boiled to its maximum. Yeonjin covered her throbbing forehead. Although she had tolerated nothing less, in the face of her child’s unexpected relationship, she, too, was an easily shaken mother.

“Bring that kid to me right away!”

“I told you.”

Seokho, who caught Yeonjin’s words, chuckled and laughed aloud.

“No, are you laughing now? So, what are you going to do?”

“Why hesitate? We have to connect them right away!”
