Chapters Chapter 239: Three Daughters-In-Law (2/2)
“Mother.”
The large gate opened.
“I’m home.”
And Kang Chul-In revealed himself.
“Welcome home, dear son!”
Park Sun-Ja greeted Kang Chul-In delightfully.
“Yes, but…”
“Hmm?”
“I have a few people to introduce.”
Kang Chul-In said firmly.
“People?”
“…Yes.”
“Who are they?”
“Your daughters-in-law.”
“Ah, daughter-in-law… that’s right, daughter-in-law...”
Park Sun-Ja nodded while repeating Kang Chul-In’s words.
“So, my son is introducing me to my daughter-in-law.”
“Yes.”
“Daughter-in-law… Hmm?”
Park Sun-Ja suddenly gasped in shock.
“Daughters-in-law?!”
“Yes.”
“S-Son, you are getting married?”
“Only if you give me permission.”
“...!”
“W-wait but, daughters-in-law, not just one daughter-in-law?”
“A-As for that...”
Kang Chul-In stiffened up.
Even he had a hard time explaining this.
He was a shameless person, but to introduce two fiancées to his mother was another thing all together.
“M-Mrs. Park...”
At that moment, Lee Chae-Rin appeared and greeted Park Sun-Ja.
“Ohmo, Ms. Chae-Rin!”
“H-Have you been well?”
“Certainly! Does this mean that Ms. Chae-Rin is our Chul-In’s future wife?”
“A-As for that...”
Lee Chae-Rin couldn’t find the right words.
How could she announce that she was only one of the many future daughters-in-law?
“My greatest pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Park.”
At that instant, Ninetails appeared and gracefully greeted Park Sun-Ja.
Unlike Lee Chae-Rin who was dressed formally in business attire, Ninetails was wearing a hanbok [2]. She was extremely beautiful and gave off a mysterious vibe.
“W-Who are you, may I ask?”
Park Sun-Ja stuttered.
“Please feel free to address me comfortably~! I am Ninetails, who has promised to be my dear husband’s wife.”
“Sorry?! W-What do you mean, lady?”
“I’m your first daughter-in-law.”
“...!”
“I’m in your care!”
Park Sun-Ja immediately turned around and glared at her son.
“S-Son…?”
“…Yes, mother?”
Kang Chul-In replied with his eyes shut.
“W-What… is going on?”
“You are seeing it yourself.”
“Huh?”
“You have… two daughters-in-law.”
It was two as of now.
He didn’t even mention Skadi, who he married purely for transactional benefits.
“...!”
“The details...”
Park Sun-Ja couldn’t hear Kang Chul-In anymore.
“O-Oh my!”
She grabbed the back of her neck and collapsed in shock.
“Mother!”
Kang Chul-In quickly supported her.
“Mrs. Park!” “Mrs. Park!”
Ninetails and Lee Chae-Rin also shouted simultaneously.
***
Park Sun-Ja rested on her bed.
She had been wishing for her son to bring back a good wife, but she had never expected him to bring two.
“My son… my son is a playboy...”
Park Sun-Ja muttered with a white towel wrapped around her head.
“Two families… who knew that my son was the kind of man who makes women cry...”
It was sort of a disappointment.
Park Sun-Ja was disappointed at her son for the first time.
She had wished for Kang Chul-In to lead a happy life with the love of his life, not for him to practice polygamy.
A playboy. Father of two different families.
How could that even be possible in today’s world?
Park Sun-Ja couldn’t fathom Ninetails and Lee Chae-Rin’s intentions.
Knock, knock.
At that moment, someone knocked on her door.
“Who is it?”
Park Sun-Ja replied coldly. She assumed that it was Kang Chul-In.
However,
“Grandma~!”
It was Arshelly, her beloved granddaughter.
“I missed you, grandma!”
“Grandma is quite sick now. Come back later, my dear.”
“Heeng~! I wanna see you...”
“...”
“Do you not like Arshelly just because you are angry at daddy?”
“T-That’s not true!”
Park Sun-Ja got herself up immediately. She could never let her beloved granddaughter misunderstand.
Arshelly was innocent after all.
In fact, she was the victim of this whole fiasco, at least from Park Sun-Ja’s perspective.
“Can’t you just let me in? Sob…”
Arshelly spoke in a sulkier tone.
“T-That…!”
Park Sun-Ja wavered.
“Grandma, just me~! Please? Sob sob… I wanna see you...”
“I-I too, want to see you, my dear...”
“Heeng...”
Arshelly relentlessly let out her charm and Park Sun-Ja was constantly in a dilemma.
Just a bit more!
Arshelly grit her teeth.
“Your royal Highness, this mission can only be accomplished by you.”
She suddenly recalled Kwak-Jung’s pleads.
“His Majesty’s mother would never appreciate this situation. Because of this, his Majesty could die a lonely man...”
“I-I can’t let that happen!”
“Hehe~! Right? Then you have to persuade her no matter what!”
“Okay, I will try!”
Arshelly was Kwak Jung’s trump card to make Kang Chul-In’s marriages come true.
He believed that only Arshelly alone could persuade Park Sun-Ja.
“Can’t I enter? Please? Grandma, I just want to see you for a while! Please?”
Arshelly asked again.
“Y-You want to?”
Park Sun-Ja succ.u.mbed in the end.
I will definitely persuade grandma!
Arshelly inconspicuously clenched her fists and entered Park Sun-Ja’s room.
