As I walked down the hallway of the apartment, a smile was never
off my face. I feel so relieved
knowing I'm fulfilling a promise to my daughter to bring
father's home. I am also very happy that I chose to be brave
facing mistakes. And I feel so proud that I made it.
For now, I want to make time for myself and my daughter. To pursue the things I've been through in the past. And maybe, to meet my mother. But I'll take it one step at a time.

It didn't take long for the door to open after Jenny pressed the bell.
“Hai ..., are you alone? Lucas didn't drive you?” Daniel looked to his right and left to look for someone other than Jenny.
“I'm not a kid and Lucas already has his own little family. There's no way I'll continue to depend
to him,” I entered a room familiar to me. Daniel just changed some of the interior colors of his luxury apartment.
“You want tea or juice?” bargain Daniel after Jenny sits on the big cream-colored sofa.
“No, no need. I'll go straight home because it's night. Where's Haru? Why is it so quiet?”
Jenny looked suspiciously at Daniel who was trying to avoid Jenny's gaze.
“Actually ..., Haru already slept 2 hours ago?”
“Whataa? You were on purpose, right?” accuse Jenny of Daniel.
“No, where possible. I was busy on the documents on my laptop, so Haru was with Leo. But when I went to Leo's room, Haru was already
sleep next to Leo and some toys around him. I think they are exhausted after playing snake ladder, Haru really like it.” Obviously Daniel was careful.
Jenny sighed, “I think Haru still wants to stay. Does he not even miss me? He's been here for two weeks, man,
does he like you better than me?”
Daniel tries not to laugh when he hears Jenny's grunts, in Daniel's eyes Jenny is really cute because of jealousy. “She missed you anyway, Haru did fall asleep after playing. You want me to wake him?”
“What?”
“You drink?” Daniel looked at Jenny as if begging.
“No, I have to go home and get some sleep. It's late and I have to work tomorrow.” Jenny replied firmly.
"I want to talk to you about a few things. You don't have to worry, I really just want to talk to you, "Daniel hasn't given up
.
.
“I bought a house in Samseong district dong. It was quite spacious, but I still changed and added some interiors.” Daniel poured wine in Jenny's glass.
“Samseong dong District? That must be pretty expensive.”
“Price does not matter. I want a house with a big yard, so the kids can play comfortably. If they're here, they're just locked up in an apartment. So I think home is better.”
Jenny simply nodded listening to Daniel's explanation. Of course money is not a problem for Daniel. Jenny knew that Haru's father was indeed very rich.
“I almost forgot, I want to thank you.”
“About what?”
“Lucas tells me that you imprisoned Mark. I didn't know how to react at first, but I knew that my soul was relieved. I'm sorry you had to know more of my bad story and thank you."
Daniel looked down at Jenny, extending his hand to hold Jenny's hand.
" Jen, what happened to you in the past is not your fault. I wish I could have met you long ago, I wanted to protect you from anything that made you sick,"
Jenny didn't know what to say. He was not used to hearing sincere words apart from Lucas.
"Let's stay together."
Jenny's eyes widened in surprise, "A-pa? Staying together?"
"Yes, let's stay together. I don't lie when I say I love you and care about you. It's not because we have Haru. Maybe it would be very shallow if I were to ask you to get married at this time, I don't want you to think that I want us to be together just because of Haru. So let's start at the beginning, slowly, close, date, get to know each other. I don't want to lose you more than I've lost."
