Chapter 129 - Did my ladies miss me? (1/2)
”Mommy, when will daddy come?” Little Hae asks her mother in her room.
Kyuri doesn't know who Little Hae wants to see. ”Always playing with only daddy... what about me? Little Hae doesn't love me more than she loves her daddy.”
”Mommy, Little Hae loves you.” Little Hae is trying to make complete a puzzle picture. A piece doesn't seem to fit no matter how much she tries. ”Little Hae loves Daddy more.”
'Who do you love more?' Kyuri wants to ask Little Hae. She also knows that she won't be happy to hear either name. She mumbles, ”Little Hae, I am sorry.”
Little Hae doesn't hear her. She is occupied with the puzzle. Annoyed, she puts away the puzzle piece that couldn't fit and looks for the other one that could fit.
Young Hwa opens the door and walks in. He grins at them. ”Did my ladies miss me?”
Little Hae jumps on her feet. ”Daddy is here.”
For some time, Young Hwa has been busy. At first, it was his father's sickness. When things got better, there were some emergencies in business. He couldn't spend much time with her. He swings Little Hae around and gives her a bear hug.
Kyuri watches them laugh. She walks out of the room, leaving them alone. Young Hwa notices her resigned expression. Afraid, he puts down Little Hae and tells her to play alone for a while. She nods at him. She also wants to finish the puzzle to see the complete picture. She runs back to finish it first.
He wonders if he should just tell her the truth. It's hard to face her. Can he stand next to her tomorrow with this guilty heart? Maybe she can already sense it. The bandage around her head is another question. If she met Jae Kyung, then... ”How did you get hurt?”
”Cancel the wedding,” She tells him with a monotonous voice. ”I can't marry you.”
His heart drops to his stomach. She knows. Jae Kyung must have said something. Then, it's Jae Kyung who hurt her. ”What did he do to you?”
She turns around and looks at him. Under her penetrating gaze, he feels heavier. ”Young Hwa, let's stop.”
”You aren't answering my question.” Young Hwa raises his voice. ”What did he do to you and why?”
