Chapter 36.2

A dirty parasite who has lived his whole life in the name of Seohwa Group. Chairman Seo claimed that Haewon was born and raised in the form of a disgusting parasite.

One day,

Chairman Seo took her niece to her sister’s grave. It seems to have been around the time when Haewon was suffering from nightmares and crying every night because she could not adapt to her new life.

Haewon was wearing a middle school uniform. Would her mother be happy if she had seen her in school uniform? It was time for that thought.

Chairman Seo took her luck by swearing at Hae-won’s father as usual. Hae-won thought it was too much to do this even from her mother’s grave, so she confronted Chairman Seo fearlessly.

‘P-please don’t say anything bad about him. He had a hard time living. You know….’

‘Do you think I’m cursing for no good reason?’

Chairman Seo said that she was sick and tired of it. Then she continued calmly.

“I’ll tell you a secret.”

“Secret?”

“When my sister died in an accident, Jeong Eun-chan threatened my family to abort you.’

‘D-dad?’

‘Yeah. He said he couldn’t give her a penny, and he’d rather get rid of it. But your maternal grandmother was weak in her heart, and he looked after you until the moment she passed away.’

‘……!’

‘This is the result. It’s not enough to run away to the Philippines with a lot of debt, to throw you in the gutter and gamble. Do you think such a man deserves to be called a father?’

A father who was beaten to death by a gang member during a rampage at a gambling house. Hae-won almost suffered a misfortune while going alone to find such a father.

It was a terrible life.

Nevertheless, she did not give up as much as his only daughter. Haewon believed that her father loved hee.

She’s sure her father will come to her senses if things get better. She believed that poverty, the reality of omega, ruined her father like that.

‘When you’re older, you’ll be sold to the brothel.’

She supposed.

After all, Seo Hae-won was Jeong Eun-chan’s last source of money. That’s why he didn’t let go, clenched in his hand.

Not because they’re family.

Haewon was in a daze. It’s not enough to be denied her existence, and even the love she believed was a lie.

From the tip of her toes, she felt like she was breaking into painstaking powder. She wanted to disappear like this. A self denied by the existence that gave birth to her.

Why do you have to live?

‘Seo Haewon.’

‘…….’

Chairman Seo grabbed Hae-won’s shoulder, which was standing foolishly.

‘Haewon.’

‘……!’

Then, she kindly called Haewon’s name. The appearance overlapped with her father’s tenderness, who called her.

‘You’re my family.’

Family.

Chairman Seo said what Hae-won wanted so much. She had a new family when she thought her father and alone forever abandoned her.

Even if it would be a shackle to oppress her throughout her life, what Hae-won wanted at that moment was a family.

‘Forget about that man. You’re my sister’s only child, and now you’re my daughter. Do you understand?’

Hae-won looked at the chairman with tearful eyes. Perhaps because of the tears in her eyes, Chairman Seo’s eyes also seemed to be moist.

Hae-won took a handkerchief out of her skirt pocket and carefully wiped Chairman Seo’s eyes. Chairman Seo paused for a while and then hurriedly stepped back.

‘So behave yourself. Don’t let me regret bringing you here!’

Chairman Seo added in a stern voice.

But why? Chairman Seo felt like she was blaming herself, not scolding Hae-won. And at first glance, she looked like a frightened child.

‘Yes, madam…….’

Hae-won looked down, fiddling with her handkerchief. The handkerchief was dry, and it shook the young Hae-won’s heart.

Isn’t Chairman Seo the only one who cares about her? A savior who gave her a chance to live a new life without even her father.

Since that day, Chairman Seo has never called in a friendly voice or said that she was her daughter, but Hae-won has considered Chairman Seo and her two sisters as family.

That’s why she came to see Ellie.

No matter how hated she was, the fact that they are a family hasn’t changed. Just as she forgave her father, she thinks they’ll admit it someday.

“Ellie.”

Haewon was about to knock, but the door burst open. It wasn’t Ellie who opened the door.

“?”

A woman a little taller than Haewon, no, a man, stood with tears in his eyes. Hae-won, who recognized gender with her heart, hurriedly drew his eyes and stepped back to the side.

“……I’m sorry.”

The man bowed to Hae-won and passed her.

Why was he sorry? Because you showed tears? Blocking the way? Either way, it was not a good reason to apologize.

Hae-won glanced back as if he were apologizing like a habit.
