Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154: THE MEMORY TRIGGER

SIHYUK HYUNG is acting jealous again.

To be honest, Garam didn’t like it when Song Sihyuk was acting this way.

Hyung’s default setting is crazy, but he becomes unhinged when he’s jealous.

"Daddy, I don’t like your scent," Gunwoo complained while covering his nose and mouth with his hand. "You smell bad."

Right?

Song Sihyuk’s stinky pheromones came out because of his sour mood.

I seriously need to scold Hyung, but not in front of Gunwoo.

Fortunately, Lee Wonjae had returned with Mija.

His Omega father-in-law stepped out of the room earlier to take a call, and when he returned, the shaman kid was with him already.

Ah, maybe Appa picked up Mija.

"What’s going on?" Lee Wonjae asked worriedly, and then he glared at Song Sihyuk. "Son, you stink."

Song Sihyuk let out a frustrated sigh, and then the Alpha finally controlled his pheromones.

Whew.

Now the air in the room was finally breathable again.

"Appa, can you take Gunwoo home first?" Garam asked, smiling apologetically at his Omega father-in-law. "Sihyuk Hyung and I need to talk."

"Are you sure you’ll be alright?" Lee Wonjae asked worriedly. "I can come with you."

"Appa, you’re hurting my feelings," Song Sihyuk complained lightly. "You make it sound like I’m going to hurt Lim Garam if we’re alone."

"You’re not exactly a good person, son."

Aigooya.

Garam couldn’t decide if the exchange between the father and son duo was funny or worrying.

I should interfere before Appa and Hyung fight for real.

Plus, the fact that Mija didn’t say anything meant nothing bad would happen.

"Appa, don’t worry. Hyung and I will just talk," Garam assured his Omega father-in-law. "Please look after Gunwoo in the meantime."

Lee Wonjae’s face softened when he looked at Garam. "Of course, dear. Leave your son to me."

"Dad, you’re leaving me again?" Gunwoo complained, wrapping his arms around Garam’s neck. "No, let’s come home together."

Aigooya.

"Why are you acting like that, Gunwoo-ya?" Song Sihyuk scolded their son. "Your dad and I will just talk..."

The Alpha trailed off because Garam nudged him in the stomach with his elbow.

He glared at Song Sihyuk, asking him to stop scolding Gunwoo.

The Alpha cleared his throat before avoiding his gaze.

"Gunwoo-ya, Mija and I are actually planning to buy some herbs and wild ginseng that she needs to make medicines," Lee Wonjae said while approaching the child. "After that, do you want to buy food for our koi fish?"

"Food for the fishies?" Gunwoo immediately beamed. "I want to buy food the fishies, Grandpa!"

"Son, it’s ’fish’ and not— argh..."

Garam elbowed Song Sihyuk again, rendering the Alpha silent this time.

Let the kid be a kid for now.

"Then come here," Lee Wonjae said, opening his arms for Gunwoo. "Let’s buy snacks, too."

"Okay, Grandpa."

And, just like that, Gunwoo left Garam’s arms.

My son can really be gullible sometimes.

***

GARAM was thinking of just talking to Song Sihyuk in the car.

But, before he knew it, he was already having an early lunch with the Alpha in an Italian restaurant.

Since it was a weekday, the restaurant wasn’t busy.

Moreover, Song Sihyuk booked the restaurant’s private lounge.

That lessened Garam’s anxiety.

I’m still not confident about showing my face to be public yet.

However, at that moment, it wasn’t being recognized by people that scared him.

That freaking cheese wheel...

Garam and Song Sihyuk both ordered pasta alla routa.

Their pasta was made tableside by mixing freshly cooked pasta in a hollowed-out cheese wheel. Then the cheese was lit on fire to induce the melting of the scraped cheese, and then the pasta was added. Truffles were also added, making the meal smell amazing.

After that, their plates of pasta were finally served.

"Please enjoy your meal."

Oh.

Garam just bowed to the head chef.

Yep, the head chef himself came out and made our pasta.

After all, Song Sihyuk was a VVIP.

Anyway, Garam was relieved when the cheese wheel was finally gone.

It reminds me so much of the past.

"Do you want to drink?" Song Sihyuk asked when the head chef and his assistants finally left the lounge. "They have an excellent selection of wine here."

No, please don’t tell me it somehow triggered Hyung’s memories of the past...?

It’s scary how quick-witted Sihyuk Hyung can be.

I’m too tired to deal with Hyung’s bullshit.
