Friday afternoon.

The beauty shop was unusually busy today. Despite its large size, there were noticeably more celebrities than usual, each striving to look their best.

Having finished her makeup, Eom So Yeon also took a brief rest on the main sofa before heading to the dress fitting room.

This evening’s social party at the Elstella Hotel, a major high-class event held every spring, was expected to be attended by celebrities from various fields.

Eom So Yeon, a rookie actress expected to shine beyond a supporting role in the major drama “Owner of the Sun,” had started to make a name for herself as CN Entertainment’s ambitious hidden card. People were very curious about her.

Considering it his duty to meet their interest at a business level, President Gu Won Hoo chose So Yeon as his partner for the party. She readily accepted the proposal, understanding the company president’s intentions.

However, it was So Yeon’s first time at such a formal event, and she had been nervous since yesterday afternoon.

“Try drinking this.”

At that moment, Do Soon, who had just returned from the pharmacy, handed her a bottle of liquid tranquilizer with the cap removed.

“I don’t like bitter things.”

“It’s bearable. Just try it.”

Although So Yeon usually detested medicines, she couldn’t refuse the tranquilizer. It might help her thaw her frozen expression.

“Right, gulp! How is it, not bad, right?”

“It’s bitter.”

Despite calling it bitter, her grinning face said otherwise. Smirking, Do Soon brought up a conversation from yesterday again.

“If you insist, it’s unavoidable, but do you really have to go that far?”

As a manager, it was natural for him to be concerned, even though family matters shouldn’t be hidden or discussed.

Yesterday around 2 p.m., after spending a night at Seo Jun’s villa, So Yeon returned home. Of course, nothing special happened.

They had a comfortable conversation like friends and decided to stay overnight, sleeping in separate rooms. The next morning, after a somewhat late breakfast, Seo Jun courteously dropped her off at home.

Seo Jun’s behavior was quite gentlemanly. Watching him, So Yeon sensed a possibility. She hoped that during the drama production, at least, she could create good memories with Tae Seo Jun.

She had been in a good mood all day, but the better news came last evening.

Soyeon had a long phone call with her mother.

“Hyun Woo has been talking a lot lately and keeps asking for you. After thinking it over, I’ve realized it was wrong of me to leave the child and you. I think it’s right for a mother and child to live together now. However, since you have work, we’ll need to keep the nanny for Hyun Woo. I plan to stay until he adapts to life in Korea. What do you think?”

Upon hearing her mother’s question, So Yeon covered her mouth and burst into tears. Her sobs were enough to answer, and Mrs. Jo Yeon Hee promised to return with Hyun Woo next month.

However, there were things to settle for living with her child. That’s why Do Soon, upon receiving a call, found So Yeon at her house, determined and resolute.
When signing the exclusive contract with , So Yeon regretted not being able to speak up about having a child. She decided she had to reveal this fact before it was too late, regardless of the consequences.

She resolved to be a proud mother to Eom Hyun Woo, and within a day, her determination seemed to solidify. So Yeon spoke without hesitation.

“I should have said it earlier, and I can’t let my selfishness cause harm to the company or Director Yoon’s project.”

“Should I speak on your behalf?”

The exclusive contract with the company might be terminated. She might also face changes in her current drama plans and even compensation for damages.

Worried about So Yeon, who was willing to take all these risks, Do Soon thought it might be better for him to negotiate with the company.

But So Yeon firmly said she would handle it.

“No. This is something I have to resolve.”

“My heart is racing about what the CEO will say. But next month, right? Your mother is coming to Korea with your shadow.”

“Yes. I don’t have to be apart from Hyun Woo anymore.”

“Are you that happy?”

At Do Soon’s question, So Yeon, missing her son greatly, crinkled her nose.

“Yes, very much.”

“Then, if you’re happy, so am I.”

What more needs to be said if a mother wants to live with her child? Do Soon quietly patted So Yeon’s shoulder.

“Thank you, Do Soon…”

So Yeon felt incredibly supported with Do Soon, who was more than just a manager.

“Eom So Yeon, please come this way.”

“Yes.”

Just then, a shop employee appeared and guided So Yeon to the dress fitting room.

On a day like today, how wonderful it would be if the three brothers stood side by side in front of people as heirs of the .

Cha Ye Jin’s eyes rested on Seok Ho’s neat eyes, always feeling uneasy about having to count one son as absent.
