Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118: UNFORGIVABLE

GARAM thought he shouldn’t listen to something upsetting on an empty stomach, so he requested to have breakfast first.

Surprisingly, it was his Omega father-in-law who prepared the food.

Right— only the three of us are here.

"Appa, should I help?"

"No, it’s alright, dear," Lee Wonjae said while shaking his head. "You’re a patient, so just sit there and wait."

Garam was grateful, but he also felt bad that he wasn’t allowed to help.

He tried to get up and help Mija set the table, but the child stopped him.

"Oppa, you’re a patient," Mija reminded him. "It’s okay. Setting the table isn’t hard anyway."

Aigoo.

Thanks to Lee Wonjae and Mija’s overprotectiveness, Garam sat there like a king.

His Omega father-in-law cooked their food while the kid shaman set the table.

After a while, the three of them ate breakfast together.

Lee Wonjae made a delicious seogogi juk (beef porridge) for Garam, and he made kimchi fried rice with egg and tender slices of steak on top. Of course, there was also a big variety of side dishes on the table.

It was a hearty breakfast.

"It’s been a while since I cooked, so I’m not sure if I still have it," Lee Wonjae said nervously. "How is it, dear?"

"Appa, it’s delicious," Garam said, and it wasn’t just lip service. The beef porridge was really good. It warmed not only his stomach but also his heart, no matter how corny it sounded. His Omega father-in-law prepared it for him, after all. "I mean it, Appa."

Lee Wonjae looked relieved that Garam liked the porridge that he made. "I’m glad it suits your taste. I thought you couldn’t digest solid food yet because you hadn’t eaten for days. That’s why I prepared porridge for you."

Aww.

Appa is really thoughtful.

"Thank you, Appa," Garam said, touched. "Not only for the breakfast, but for taking my side, too."

He could tell that Lee Wonjae didn’t know about Song Sihyuk’s deceit.

That was why he could still trust his Omega father-in-law after everything that had happened.

"Garam-ah, I don’t know what else to say other than I’m really sorry," Lee Wonjae said, smiling bitterly. "I didn’t know that Song Sihyuk hid the truth from you. When I heard that he had a contract marriage with you, I assumed that he told you about his need for an heir."

"I didn’t know, Appa. Had I known Hyung wanted a child, I wouldn’t have agreed with his offer," Garam said, pausing for a moment. "After all, I was a Beta."

Lee Wonjae looked shocked by his revelation. "You were a Beta...?"

"Appa didn’t know?"

"No, nobody told me. Yes, I heard that the idol Lim Garam was a Beta. But I assumed that you only hid your true Secondary Gender to protect yourself. After all, it’s normal for Omegas to pretend to be a Beta in their workplace..."

Aigoo.

It seems like Appa is really clueless.

"Then how did you become an Omega...?"

"It was exactly the reason why I married Sihyuk Hyung, Appa," Garam explained. "I married him for money and power. In exchange, I had to give my body to Hyung. By that, I mean I gave Sihyuk Hyung the right to use my body for his experiment. I don’t know why, but Hyung wanted to turn a Beta like me into an Omega."

Lee Wonjae looked so shocked— the older Omega even dropped his spoon.

Aigoo.

But Garam wasn’t done ’snitching’ yet.

"I think the experiment was related to Hanmi Chem. Sihyuk Hyung worked with his ex-lover, Cho Dongpyo, to create pills that could turn Betas into Omegas."

"Oh. That..." Lee Wonjae, who was now as pale as a sheet, gulped hard. "My father-in-law found out about the illegal activity that Song Sihyuk conducted with the Cho Triplets. That was the reason why he was demoted when he was in New York. That must be the experiment that my father-in-law got angry about."

Mija nodded in agreement. "I warned Grandfather Chairman Song to stay away from illegal drugs because it might cause his empire’s downfall, that’s why Grandfather Chairman Song is sensitive when it comes to illegal drugs."

Pfft.

It was cute how Mija addressed Chairman Song Sanggyu as ’Grandfather Chairman Song’ as if the child couldn’t decide whether to be polite or friendly.

Anyway, Garam remembered something that Song Sihyuk said before.

I think Sihyuk Hyung mentioned the reason Chairman Song was quick to punish Jung Sehun, the fake Song Sihyuk, was because Jung Sehun was involved with drugs— something that Chairman Song couldn’t let slide.

So, Mija’s warning was the reason behind that.

"Garam-ah, my son turned you into an Omega," Lee Wonjae said, and it was clear that the older Omega was both shocked and devastated. "Is that right?"

Only Appa is a good person in their family.
