“Why? Is Do Hyun’s biological father short?”
“No……. He’s tall. Very…….”
“I see. Let’s see, then our Do Hyun will grow tall too, right? I don’t know how tall his biological father is, but he should at least be as tall as this dad, right?”
“Stop calling yourself dad!”
As Hyun Seo exclaimed, Lucas, who had been throwing a sly smile, sat Do Hyun in a baby chair.
“Let’s eat, our Do Hyun!”
Before they knew it, the car was parked in front of the old inlaw’s house.
When they cracked open the car window, fresh air flowed in.
A few months ago, the child’s laughter had spread out beyond the fence. I wonder if that family is still living there?
While lost in a pointless thought, the gate of that house opened.
Do Hyun, who was sitting in the car, tensed up unnecessarily.
First, the back of an adult man’s head appeared, and then the arms and legs of a child in his arms were visible. When they just came out, the two were facing each other, so their faces were not visible.
It was a young child.

Seo Ha must have left the world around that time.
Thinking of her daughter, the pain of longing was about to surge up. The adult man turned his head from the child and looked ahead.
Suddenly, Do Hyun’s eyes widened.
That side profile……. Lucas Yu?
Realizing it was a familiar face, the child’s face became visible. As expected, it was the son of Lucas Yu, the CEO, whom he had seen at Songhwa Palace last time.
He felt like he was going to lose his mind for a moment. A sense of foreboding washed over him like a wave.
Then, were the sounds heard beyond the fence from those two? Is Lucas Yu living in that house?
No way.
As white as a sheet, no matter how much he thought of the possibility that CEO Yu wasn’t living in that house, the likelihood seemed low.
It was unmistakably the sight of a father and son leaving home on a weekend morning. It seemed certain that the noise of them playing in the yard last time was also theirs.

Then, what could be the reason for a wealthy man like Lucas Yu living in that house? There could be no other reason.
What kind of house was it to Hyun Seo? It was a precious house filled with memories of his deceased mother.
Moreover, there were quite a few neighbors in this neighborhood who knew Hyun Seo’s face. Would Hyun Seo let a man and a child, who had no special significance, live together in a house? There was no chance of creating groundless rumors.
With a sense of despair he couldn’t control, his heart raced wildly.
Still, he was trying to figure out if there might be a possibility that the two wealthy people could be living alone without Hyun Seo, his mind was spinning wildly.
No matter how much he missed her, he saw the figure of a woman he wished wouldn’t appear at least at this moment.
Following the two, the one who came out of the gate was Hyun Seo, with a bright face.
“Mom!”
The child who had been in Lucas’s arms reached out with both arms, shouting towards Hyun Seo. With an even brighter face, Hyun Seo approached, took the child, and held him tightly in her arms.
He called her mom. Clearly.
Lucas opened the back door of the car, and Hyun Seo seated the child in the car seat. Lucas then opened the door for Hyun Seo, who approached him with a smile and thanked him.

Her smile was not a business smile for a client, but a genuinely excited one.
That familiar smile, it had been such a long time that it was almost nostalgic. I missed that warm smile so much, but now it was a smile that wasn’t shown to me anymore.
Looking at the car model, it was Hyun Seo’s car that I saw in the parking lot of Songhwa Palace at the last meeting.
Today, Lucas was getting into the driver’s seat of that car.
His eyes became hot. His vision wavered with the rising moisture.
Really, were they a couple, the two of them…….
An unbearable sense of frustration flooded in. Tears flowed freely, as helplessly as a child’s, and there was no way to stop them.
Do Ha was floundering in the deepest sorrow he had ever experienced in his life. And a fiery anger rose at the situation that had already unfolded.
She had become another man’s wife.
She had given birth to another man’s child.

He couldn’t possibly be rational now, thinking things like, ‘We’re divorced, she’s a stranger now, she can fall in love again, remarry, have another child, and start a family,’.
Frankly, he was just desperate and just angry. Just looking at her in that state made him feel like he was going crazy.
He wanted to run out and open the door right now. He felt the urge to grab Hyun Seo.
While he was grinding his teeth and glaring, their car began to move.
They, who had no idea that someone’s heart was crumbling, were leaving without hesitation.
The back view of the car carrying the cheerful family exuded a sense of happiness.
He couldn’t sleep a wink all night.
He tried calling Hyun Seo, but she didn’t answer. Maybe she thought that a call from Do Ha on a weekend, not a weekday, wouldn’t be about workrelated issues.
He wanted to go to Hyun Seo’s house again and ask her in person, but there was no chance she would meet him if he went to a house where she lived with her husband.
After a night of staying up with wideopen eyes, Do Ha left the house again.

Even though it was Sunday, it was a busy weekend with many customers coming and going at Songhwa Palace, so he thought that Hyun Seo, the director, might come to work. Since she had taken a day off yesterday, Saturday, she might come in one of the weekend days.
To avoid Lucas Yu and meet her, it seemed like the director’s office, her independent space, would be better than her home.
