Chapter 48 - Ulterior motives behind it (1/2)

"Grandpa, who is Sihyeon?" Jinhee asked once again, getting up from the bed and stepping towards Lee Dowon.

The shift of emotions on Dowon's face was noticeable by Jinhee, and her eyes sharpened. Her grandfather definitely knew about this Sihyeon. Now, getting him to inform about this matter was the difficult part.

"What is the birth secret you're hiding from me, grandpa?" Jinhee continued.

"Who told you about it?" Dowon asked, completely confirming her suspicion. There was something being hidden from her, and until she knows the entire truth, Jinhee wouldn't get a peace of mind.

Honestly, Jinhee answered, "I met someone today, and he said I look really similar to this Sihyeon person. So, grandpa, I want to know why I look similar to this person?"

Dowon sighed. "Since you already know the truth, I wouldn't want to hide it from you. But are you sure that you can handle the truth?"

"I want to know about it, grandpa Dowon. Mother and father was talking about murdering me the other day because of this secret, and I think it is appropriate for me to know about this."

Hearing Jinhee's words, immediate anger flashed on to Dowon's eyes, and he spoke out, "Those two are filled with greed!"

Closing the door behind him, Dowon walked towards Jinhee's bed and sat down upon it. Melancholy coloured his eyes along with nostalgia as his eyes stared down at the ground.

"You're my real granddaughter," Dowon expressed.

He continued, "Back when I was in my twenties, for a business deal, I had to go abroad to Japan for some months. At that time, I fell in love with a woman there, and we had a daughter together.
