The Lee Family's Second Son-in-law

A Stiff Night

Not only did Celia who was surprised not flustered, finding her cousin Shin Hye Ri was the daughter-in-law in the Joon family, it turned out that Hye Ri also felt the same shock as Celia. Hye Ri never expected that Joon would bring home a wife, and that was Celia, his own cousin.

The four people who were facing Celia and Joon were now staring at them intently. And Ae Gyo. He continues to look at Celia and then turns to Joon and Celia's interlocked hands.

"Isn't he ... Celebrities who are often exposed to the scandal?" Ae Gyo stared sinisterly at Celia.

"Celia is a celebrity, but she's not what's been reported as much" Bela Joon said.

"really?" Ae Gyo squinted his eyes.

"Really! I know Celia very well." Joon won't lose.

"When did you know him? And when did you meet?" Cecar Ae Gyo again.

"I've known him for a long time! And I know what a real Celia looks like!" Firm Joon.

"Ehem! Stop this discussion! We'd better head to the dining table now!" Byung Man's words stopped the mother and child debate.

Joon takes Celia to the dining room. Celia sits next to Joon opposite Kang Moon and Hye Ri as well as Ae Gyo.

Joon shows more attention to Celia by taking food for his wife.

"Thank you." Celia reviewed her beautiful smile that felt awkward.

The dinner was solemn. No one spoke as usual. After the dinner ended quietly and conducive, Byung Man asked all family members to gather in the family room.

Ae Gyo looked at the two young women who were his son-in-law.

"Alright, because now there are two daughters-in-law in this house ... So now quickly prepare tea and snacks for you to bring to the family room. You understand?"

Hye Ri smiled in response to her mother-in-law's request. "Good, Mother. I'll prepare it."

While Celia just nodded and reviewed a thin smile. Celia and Hye Ri went to the kitchen together. Celia, who did not want to spend too much on stale dishes, chose to directly prepare tea for her husband's family.

Hye Ri was furious because Celia did not ask him to speak at all. He also rebuked Celia.

"What are you doing here, huh? How can you be the second son-in-law in this house? How can you marry Kang Joon?" Hye Ri said slowly but with great emphasis.

"Kang Joon? You mean Seok Joon?" Celia scrunched her forehead. Who is Hye Ri?

Hye Ri showed her grin. "I suspected! You don't know anything about Kang Joon and this family! And who was that? Seok Joon?" Hye Ri is a sign of understanding.

"Did Kang Joon not tell you the truth?" Hye Ri laughed cynically.

"Sister! I have no business with my brother! So, you don't have to bother taking care of my business!" Celia panted with Hye Ri's attitude.

Since childhood, Hye Ri and Celia have always competed. Hye Ri had always been envious of all the success Celia had achieved.

"Listen to Park Eun Chae, you don't know Kang Joon like I know him. You're just a stranger who's suddenly married to her, so..."

"What's this about? Why are you guys so long? Quickly serve tea and snacks!" Ae Gyo suddenly came and made the two daughters-in-law go silent in silence. Ae Gyo had a firm and fierce aura.

Celia serves tea for everyone. While Hye Ri serves snacks.

Byung Man looked at Joon and Celia who were sitting side by side. Joon clasped Celia's hand tightly. The sight did not escape the eyes of Hye Ri who glared disliked.

"So, you guys are really married? You met in Vegas, didn't you?" tanya Byung Man is stale.

"Yes!" Joon replied firmly.

Byung Man smiled a grin. "You didn't use your real identity when you got married. That means ... Your marriage is not legal. Do you know that?"

Joon. Joon glanced at Celia who seemed to keep silent. Joon tightened his hand.

"If that's all you want to say, then Celia and I retreat. Isn't it important that I've told you about my relationship with Celia?" Joon does not like the attitude of his father who wants to make him cornered.

"Kang Joon! You should investigate what kind of woman you're getting married to!" Ae Gyo chimed in. "I'm sure he just wants to go after our treasure!"

"Enough, Mom! I don't like my wife being insulted like this! Whether you accept it or not, I'm married to Celia. If Father considers my marriage to be invalid, then I am willing to perform the marriage again in front of all of you! Go, Celia! Our business is done here." Joon pulls Celia's hand and takes her out of the house that never gave her peace.

Joon drove his car out of the courtyard of his family's mansion. Joon glanced at Celia who still remained silent without saying a word.

"All right! After this you can ask me anything. And I will answer honestly!" joon said by looking at Celia while staying focused on driving.

Joon stops his car in an already deserted park. Joon leaned his head. Joon looked up at the ceiling of his car.

"Say something, Celia!" lirih Joon with anxious expectation.

A few minutes passed and still no sound came out from Celia's lips.

"Good! I'll be honest! My name is not Kang Seok Joon. I went to Vegas to avoid my family's continued coercion to take over the company."

"You must be wondering why I'm working for the company. Because now I have you and also Mi Ran. I feel like I should have a job to support my little family. This may sound naive to you. But what I said at that time was true. I want to marry you, Celia. Please believe me!"

Joon's long sentence managed to make Celia look at him. Little Celia was moved by all the sincerity Joon gave her.

Joon returned Celia's gaze. Even her hand now encapsulated the face of Celia who was still staring at him.

"I will not force you to accept me immediately. I want you to see it with your heart. After that you just decided whether to accept me or not."

"Suk Joon..."

Joon smile. "My name is Lee Kang Joon. Sorry I lied to you so much."

Joon and Celia both enjoyed this moment. A time when nothing disturbs their togetherness. This silence leaves them dissolved in their respective flavors.

Feeling Celia can accept all of her statements, Joon starts to bring her face closer. Joon landed his lips on Celia's lips.

For a moment they were both swept away in an intoxicating game. Celia replies to each sweep of Joon's lips on him. I don't know what Celia's thinking right now. Celia has not fully accepted Joon's feelings. Celia just followed the instinct that whispered to her.

"I'm sorry, Seok Joon or Lee Kang Joon, or whatever your name is. I have to do this because I want to defeat Brother Hye Ri. I can't lose to him. I should be the daughter-in-law in the Lee family too. Yep! I'm the second daughter-in-law in the Lee family, "inner Celia who still enjoys her kiss with Joon.
