Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175: BELATED CONFRONTATION

LUCKILY, Dr. Seong Kyungmin had Cho Dongpyo’s contact number.

Garam was expecting that, to be honest.

They’re in the same circle, after all.

Anyway, now that he finally had Cho Dongpyo’s contact number, he didn’t waste time and immediately called him.

Fortunately, the other Omega immediately picked up the call.

"Hello, Cho Dongpyo-ssi. This is Lim Garam."

"I know— I was expecting your call after Kyungmin told me that you wanted my number."

Ah, yes.

Dr. Seong Kyungmin asked Cho Dongpyo for his permission first.

It’s the right to do, anyway. I wouldn’t like it either if someone gave my number to another person without telling me.

"You and I need to talk," Garam said sternly. "In person."

"You’re right, Garam-ssi. It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other. You’re not going to hurt yourself and frame me for it again, are you?"

Ah, right.

Garam remembered doing something like that in the past.

In my defense, I just stooped down to their level.

"Well, I can’t assure that I won’t do something unhinge again, Dongpyo-ssi."

Actually, Garam was acting crazy on purpose.

After all, he didn’t want Cho Dongpyo to think that he was a pushover.

When you’re dealing with a crazy person, you have to act crazier than them.

"If you don’t feel safe meeting me, then should we meet in a crowded place?"

Cho Dongpyo laughed bitterly before speaking again.

"Yeah, we should do that. Who knows what Song Sihyuk will do if you do something crazy again?"

Garam scoffed. "Don’t worry— we’ll keep this a secret from Sihyuk Hyung."

"GRANDAD, let’s feed the fishies!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Sure, let’s do that, Gunwoo-ya."

Aigooya.

Garam smiled while watching Gunwoo drag Song Seokju— Song Sihyuk’s Alpha father— to the koi pond.

It was the weekend, so Gunwoo didn’t have classes.

Hence, he brought his son to his former in-laws’ house.

"Garam-ah, my son already informed me about the party that Gunwoo wanted to throw for his classmates," Lee Wonjae— Song Sihyuk’s Omega father— said excitedly while they were having tea in the garden, just across from the koi pond where Gunwoo and Song Seokju were. "Ever since Song Sihyuk brought that up, your Abeoji and I have been planning the party."

Aww.

They look excited, huh?

It was nice, however...

"Appa, I’m sorry," Garam said. He knew that his former in-laws didn’t mind, but an apology was still in order. "I didn’t know that Gunwoo would brag about your house to his classmates."

"Dear, you don’t have to apologize for that," Lee Wonjae said while shaking his head. "You and Gunwoo are always welcome here. Your Abeoji and I would love it if you still consider our house your home."

Again, Garam was touched.

I really lucked out with my Omega father-in-law.

"It’s hard raising a chaebol son, isn’t it?"

"Appa, it’s really hard," Garam complained. Finally, someone he could relate to. After all, Lee Wonjae had lived normally as well before becoming a successful athlete and marrying a chaebol. "I know that Sihyuk Hyung was a chaebol when I married him. But I didn’t expect him to have a very different mindset to normal folks like us."

"I understand, dear. My husband is still like that. They’re out of touch with reality because of how filthy rich they are," Lee Wonjae paused for a moment. "As you can see, I failed to raise Song Sihyuk properly."

Garam couldn’t deny that, so he just kept his mouth shut.

I’m sorry, Appa.

"To be honest, I gave up a little too easily on raising Song Sihyuk," Lee Wonjae said, smiling bitterly as if he were ashamed of himself. "My father-in-law was very strict when it came to my son’s upbringing, especially when Song Sihyuk was young. As you already know, my father-in-law treated Song Sihyuk as the family’s treasure."

Right.

Because the previous shaman said Song Sihyuk’s heir would bring prosper to their family.

"My father-in-law practically didn’t let me influence my son in any way— he raised Song Sihyuk as a Song. And my husband just let it happen. Not because he couldn’t stand up to his father, but because he wanted Song Sihyuk to be raised like that," Lee Wonjae said, still smiling sadly. "I didn’t have a support system while I was trying to raise Song Sihyuk differently. But I don’t want the same thing to happen to you, Garam-ah. That’s why if you need help, tell me. I won’t let my husband and my son get in the way of how you want to raise Gunwoo."

That almost made Garam cry.

Not only because of his Omega father-in-law’s support, but also because he felt bad for him.

Now I know why Appa likes me so much— he sees his younger self in me.

"It must have been tough marrying into a chaebol family, especially when you weren’t in love with Abeoji back then," Garam said carefully. "You did your best, Appa."

"You’re making me want to cry, dear."

"I feel the same way, Appa."

Garam and Lee Wonjae looked at each other, and then they both laughed.

I’m not alone— I’m going to raise Gunwoo as a decent person.

He would make sure that his son wouldn’t become a bad Alpha like his father.

***

I’M REALLY meeting Cho Dongpyo, huh?

I’m risking being recognized by idol fans, but being recognized by other people will actually help me. Cho Dongpyo is also a known figure— he won’t try to hurt me if there are witnesses around.

I arrived first...

And, no, I didn’t get Cho Dongpyo anything.

And he looks youthful. He’s the same age as Sihyuk Hyung, but he looks the same age as me.

I did well choosing this busy place.
