The Lee Family's Second Son-in-law

The Sadness of a Father

"Miss Celia?"

Celia was stunned to hear her name called.

"Eh? You know me?" ask Celia confused.

Jae Joong smiled. "Who doesn't know you, Miss?"

Celia smiled clumsyly. He even scratched his neck.

"Oh yes, Sir. You're hurt! Let's go to the house. I'll treat you!"

Jae Joong happily visits Celia's house. It was unexpected if Celia had a simple house.

"So, Miss decided to retire from entertainment and stay here?" ask Jae Joong.

Celia slightly refused to answer. This man had just met him. And they don't know each other.

Understanding with Celia's attitude, Jae Joong finally introduced himself.

"I'm Moon Jae Joong. I am the secretary of Mr. Lee Kang Moon."

Celia who was treating the wound on Jae Joong's elbow suddenly shut up.

"What's? So you are..."

"Really! I'm your sister-in-law's secretary, Miss."

Celia's not feeling well. "I'm sorry. Mi Ran has hurt you. It's all because of my fault. I'm not watching him very well." Celia glanced at Mi Ran who was now hiding. Mi Ran did not dare to show her nose for fear that her mother would get angry.

"Thank you, Miss," Jae Joong said as Celia finished putting the plaster on her elbow.

Unexpectedly, Jae Joong instead approached Mi Ran who was hiding behind a wall.

"Hello, sweet boy. What's yourname?" jae Joong asked while squatting to align his body with Mi Ran.

"My name is Park Mi Ran," replied Mi Ran bowed in embarrassment.

"Don't be afraid! Uncle is fine. Next time you have to be with an adult if you want to cross the street. Do you understand?"

Mi Ran nodded her head. "I'm sorry, Uncle."

Jae Joong lightly ruffled Mi Ran's hair. The vibration on her phone makes Jae Joong have to stay away from Mi Ran. A call from Kang Moon who asked him to go to the office immediately.

"Miss Celia, sorry I have to go. Thanks again for the medicine."

"Ah, don't hesitate. It is precisely I who thank you for helping Mi Ran. Oh yeah, by the way did you just move here?"

Jae Joong nodded. "Yes, I live in the house across the street. Then excuse me!" Jae Joong bowed his head and then passed.

Mi Ran waved her hand as Jae Joong's car drove by. A smile is etched on Jae Joong's lips. Somehow he felt if Mi Ran was a fun child.

But there is one thing that holds in Jae Joong's heart. It is about Celia who turns out to have a child.

"I didn't think Celia already had a child. So who's the father?" Jae Joong muttered as he continued to drive his car to Lee Ni Group's office.

In a different place, Kang Joon still daydreams about his debate with his father. Byung Man allows Joon to bring her home but without Mi Ran.

Joon rubbed his face rough. Joon can't make Mi Ran lose her mother again. After years of Mi Ran living without the warmth of her mother's affection, Joon won't make Mi Ran sad by inviting her to move into her parents' house.

"Well! I should how? If it's like this, my feud with dad will never end."

...***...

The woman looks shocked when she sees Jae Joong's figure. He immediately avoided. But Jae Joong who still memorized if it was Hye Ri's mother, he immediately chased after the woman.

"Wait on! Madam! Wait!" Jae Joong with his long steps managed to block Hye Mi's arm.

"Auntie!" Call Jae Joong.

"A-what's up? Who're you?" Hye Mi asked without looking towards Jae Joong.

"Auntie, it's me! Moon Jae - Joong. I'm Hye Ri's guy friend."

Hye Mi looked nervous. He really didn't think Jae Joong would come back after all this time.

"Auntie! I will not be stale with you. I know if Hye Ri ever got pregnant and gave birth. Where's the kid Hye Ri was born?" jae Joong asked, not wanting to be stale. He knew that Hye Mi's nature was also the same as Hye Ri who was good at tongue-licking.

"Sorry! I don't know what you're talking about! I have to go!" Hye Mi stepped back. Jae Joong will not let go.

"Tell me the truth or your daughter's life will be threatened!"

Hearing the threat from Jae joong, Hye Mi is a little scared. But he won't easily tell the truth.

"I really don't know! You just ask Hye Ri!" Hye Mi's touch then passed away.

Jae Joong just sighed harshly. He decided to go back to Hye Ri and ask her. Of course, it is seasoned with threats that will make Hye Ri not wrinkle.

...***...

Jae Joong accidentally waits for Hye Ri in front of the foundation office where he works. Hye Ri kept avoiding. But as soon as Jae Joong showed us a photo of the USG results and also the results of Hye Ri's examination obtained from the hospital, Hye Ri could not dodge anymore.

"Where's my son?" jae Joong asked with red eyes looking at Hye Ri.

"Say where's my son?!" Jae Joong shakes Hye Ri's body.

Hye Ri smiled sinisterly. "What do you mean by child? I never got pregnant and gave birth! So, how could I possibly be carrying your child!"

"Shin Hye Ri!" Jae Joong shouted furiously. "Why don't you ever tell me anything, huh? I deserve to know about my son!"

Hye Ri smiled mockingly. He brushes Jae Joong's hand violently.

"I wouldn't want to have a son from a man like you! That kid is the barrier to all my dreams! That kid took everything from me! The boy is dead!"

Hye Ri caught her breath after venting her frustration at Jae Joong.

"What did you say?" Jae Joong asked for clarity.

"Your son is dead! So, don't ever ask me this again! Our relationship is over. So, don't bring up the past. I'm even sorry I've known a loser like you!" Hye Ri steps inside her office and doesn't care about Jae Joong.

Jae Joong's limp body down the street to where the house is rented. It felt like his heart was so broken when he heard that his son had died.

"What a relief, Hye Ri. You killed my son! My flesh blood!" Jae Joong cried roaring in his house. He didn't care if anyone else heard his screams. He just wanted to let go of his sadness.

On the other hand, Joon has just arrived at his house. He is greeted by Byung Man and Ae Gyo.

"What's this about? Why are you here?" joon asked confused.

"Dad gave up! You bring Celia and her son here. I want to meet them!" said Byung Man with a flat expression.

Although Joon knows his father was forced, but he remains grateful. That means his chance to take the heart of Byung Man is getting bigger.

"Good, Dad! This weekend I will bring Celia and Mi Ran here. I'll definitely like Mi Ran!" Reply Joon with a face sumringah.
