Chapter 117 - 117 - Expelling Aeri
Dae Hyun actually wanted to follow Soo Yin to go back to Pyeongchang-dong villa but he wanted to sort things out with Aeri first. He couldn't wait to part from Aeri as soon as possible. That way he could tell the world that Soo Yin only belonged to him and no one should take her, including Park Soo Hyun.
"Father!" Jo Yeon Ho exclaimed, who immediately jogged towards Dae Hyun. As usual the boy was always enthusiastic when he met his father.
"Hi, honey," Dae Hyun said while holding his son's tiny body.
Dae Hyun turned his face the other way as Aeri smiled at him. Really he was very disgusted to see that woman.
"Dad, look. I made this together with Mom," Jo Yeon Ho said while handing the paper to Dae Hyun.
Dae Hyun immediately opened it wanting to know what exactly was in the picture. It turned out to be a picture of a family. There was a man and woman who were on the edge and then there was a small child who was carrying a balloon in his hand. There was a name for each in each picture. Money was none other than the name of the three of them.
"Dad, I want us to be a happy family like in this picture," Jo Yeon Ho said, speaking with a typical little boy accent. His small face now so bright when he saw the picture in his hand.
Dae Hyun scratched his temple. His heart was cut to hear the narrative of his only son. Just about to divorce Aeri but Jo Yeon Ho actually expressed his heart's desire.
"I want us to go for a trip in three of us with Mom and Dad like in the picture," Jo Yeon Ho said expectantly looking at her father.
Dae Hyun just replied with a smile. On the other hand, he wanted to part with Aeri immediately, but on the other hand, he didn't want to disappoint his son. This really got him into a real dilemma.
"Yeon Ho, you better sleep because it's late. It's not good for young children to sleep too late," Dae Hyun said. He continued to carry Jo Yeon Ho until he reached his room.
"Your father is right, honey. Come on, Mom will read you a story so you can fall asleep soundly," Aeri said, she immediately grabbed Jo Yeon Ho to turn to her arms.
Dae Hyun frowned. He felt something was wrong with Aeri's attitude who seemed so patient and compassionate. Looked like the world was wrong in turning around.
Aeri took Jo Yeon Ho to his room while Dae Hyun went straight to the bathroom to clean up.
Aeri entered the room while Dae Hyun was changing clothes. She immediately walked over to Dae Hyun and rubbed his broad chest gently.
"Honey, I miss you so much," Aeri said as she leaned her head on Dae Hyun's chest.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Dae Hyun said with a cold tone that was so piercing heard in Aeri's ears.
"What do you mean?" Aeri asked while rubbing Dae Hyun's cheek but the man immediately stopped his hand.
"Don't pretend you don't know," Dae Hyun said, chuckling. He now didn't have to pretend to be nice because Jo Yeon Ho was no longer around.
"Honey, I really don't understand what you mean," Aeri said as she raised her hand.
Dae Hyun immediately stepped foot to take something above the nightstand.
"Tell me what all this means?" Dae Hyun slammed the photo on the dresser. Until some photos scattered on the floor.
Aeri widened her eyes and almost fell over when she saw the photos one by one. It was a photo of her with Manager Han that night. How did Dae Hyun have all this? Couldn't possibly be one of his friends who would leak to Dae Hyun.
"Where did you get all this?" Aeri said with a little stuttered. Her hands were clenched tightly until her nails stuck into her palms leaving marks. Her body trembled slightly. Even though the photo was taken from a distance, her face was still visible.
"You don't need to know," Dae Hyun said with a crooked smile full of hatred.
"It's not what you think," Aeri said, shaking. Now she was really very scared but Aeri tried to calm down so that Dae Hyun will not be suspicious and believe in his accusations.
"What was I thinking?" Dae Hyun said while cornering Aeri against the wall. His gaze was fiery and filled with anger.
"That night I was just a little drunk so I didn't realize when Han took me to his apartment. We've been friends for a long time so how could Han do anything to me," Aeri who remained defensively argued.
"You better get ready to get out of this house. I don't want to have a lying wife like you!" Dae Hyun said in a fiery tone to vent his anger.
"Dae Hyun, I've never lied to you," Aeri said with teary eyes. She softened her voice to make it sound sad.
"Not lying, you say? You even lied when Jo Yeon Ho was about to get hurt because you left him in the park alone. Lucky that Soo Yin was able to save him," Dae Hyun said coldly. He remembered how Soo Yin nearly lost his life helping his son.
"At that time I… I…." Aeri couldn't find the words to defend herself.
"You even have always prioritized your personal interests more than Jo Yeon Ho," Dae Hyun said with a trembling body trying to hold back his anger.
"Dae Hyun, I'm really sorry. Please forgive me," Aeri said, she sat cross-legged in front of Dae Hyun. She will do everything in her power to remain in that house.
"Your words of regret don't mean anything to me anymore," Dae Hyun said.
"I beg you, forgive me," Aeri said while holding Dae Hyun's feet with tears.
"Pack all your clothes and say goodbye to Jo Yeon Ho. I want you to leave the house tomorrow." Actually Dae Hyun wanted to kick Aeri out tonight but he still had a conscience. After all, Aeri was the mother of his son and they have lived together for a long time.
"Do you have the heart if Jo Yeon Ho is far from his mother?" Aeri said, still on his knees.
"You don't need to worry because I will find a better mother figure than you," Dae Hyun said then immediately rushed into his clothes before finally leaving Aeri.
"You'll see, can you kick me out of this house," Aeri thought with red eyes looking at Dae Hyun who had disappeared behind the door.
Dae Hyun wanted to leave the house immediately for fear that he would be rude to Aeri.
Just about to went down the stairs now he ran into Park Soo Hyun who made his anger even higher.
"Hyeong, where are you going?" Park Soo Hyun who was just about to climb the stairs asked.
"I want to go outside," Dae Hyun said, he wobbled a little because his body felt strange. But he immediately rushed to leave the house.
================================
Pyeongchang-dong Villa
Soo Yin really felt really angry this time. This was not the first time her husband has lied to her. The first was Dae Hyun admitted that he was single and didn't have a wife so Soo Yin wanted to marry him. But the truth was that her husband already has a wife and children so that Soo Yin can't help but become a second wife. It has passed and she can accept everything.
Now Soo Yin was lied to by Dae Hyun just because of flowers and poetry. If she found out that her husband didn't send it, she will definitely return it to Park Soo Hyun. She wouldn't be so happy about those words. Although she always read the poem when she was alone at night when she couldn't sleep.
Soo Yin sat on the floor while bending her legs to shoulder and lied her head which felt heavy. Was this her fate that was always lied to. Why was her life destiny so sad like this? The chants of the nocturnal animals were loud as if they were laughing at her terrible fate. They seemed to be talking about her poor life.
Until late at night Soo Yin didn't even move from the balcony. Until she heard a familiar car sound in her ears. If Soo Yin usually felt very happy because her husband came at night, she was reluctant to meet him.
Knock knock knock ....
There was a knock on the door which was quite loud and repeated. But Soo Yin still didn't move from where she was sitting. Instead, she buried her head in her knees. She tried to hold back her tears from dripping. There's no point crying over someone like Dae Hyun.
"Honey, open the door," Dae Hyun said as he kept knocking on the door.
"I apologize for all my mistakes," Dae Hyun said again. The man never gave up in order to get forgiveness from his wife.
