âCh-Chairwoman.â
Jin Sukyungâs pupils dilated in shock.
âD-Do you mean⦠as in in-lawsâ¦?â
She could hardly believe what she had just heard.
As if regretting letting such a word slip from her lips, she clamped them shut, pressing her lower lip inward.
âYes. Letâs have our kids get married.â
Woo Ilhwa spoke as she warmly clasped Jin Sukyungâs stiff hands, a knowing smile playing on her lips.
âAt this rate, my grandmother will become a great-grandmother before they make it official.â
âChairwomanâ¦â
Jin Sukyung couldnât bring herself to laugh.
Her heart pounded so intensely that her eyes welled up with unshed tears.
âYouâre really⦠accepting my Suin?â
âWhatâs there for me to accept? Suin needs to accept me.â
As Jin Sukyungâs lips trembled, trying to hold back her emotions, Woo Ilhwa calmly reassured her.
âMadam Jin, I donât need anything else. Just give Suin to Jaehee.â
ââ¦â¦â
âLetâs not overcomplicate things. Weâll let them do as they wish and just sit in the parentsâ seats when the day comes.â
âChairwomanâ¦â@@novelbin@@
A choked sob finally escaped from Jin Sukyungâs lips.
The guilt of watching her daughter waste her youth paying off her parentsâ debt surged all at once.
She had never been able to properly comfort her daughter when she cried like a rain-drenched rose.
All she could do was hold her and hope that time would heal her wounds.
