Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73: A WAY WITH WORDS

"JUST tell my family we’re trying to have a baby and they’ll be happy."

Garam could tell that Song Sihyuk didn’t mean to say that out loud.

Hyung looks more surprised than I am.

They had already talked about how he didn’t see himself giving him an heir anytime soon.

Although the Alpha had quickly dropped the subject at the time, he could tell that his chaebol husband wasn’t pleased with how their conversation ended then.

But Sihyuk Hyung acted normal after that, so I forgot that we talked about that issue.

Come to think of it, Dr. Seong Kyungmin was with them during that talk.

I guess we should talk about having an heir again with just the two of us.

"Hyung, let’s talk," Garam said carefully, picking up the cherry potato that he had dropped earlier out of shock. He put it on the empty bowl. Then he placed the bowl on the coffee table before cleaning his hands with wet wipes that he had prepared in advance, since he was eating using his fingers. Finally, he faced his chaebol husband properly. "I know you want an heir, but I’ve also made myself clear already: I don’t want a child. I’m not confident that my stance will change later. So, if it’s going to be a problem, then should we reconsider this relationship?"

"Fuck no," Song Sihyuk said, frowning. The Alpha obviously didn’t like the fact that Garam asked to reconsider their relationship. "I want you more than I want a child, Lim Garam."

Aww.

Garam couldn’t decide if what Song Sihyuk had said was romantic or intimidating, though.

I mean, I’m glad that I know I can talk out this issue with Hyung. But an Alpha’s interest is something I’m wary of since I know how obsessive they can get. So, I have to start taming Sihyuk Hyung now if I want to survive this marriage.

And that was when the realization hit him.

"What’s wrong, Garam-ah? I don’t like how you suddenly fell silent after my heartfelt confession."

"I’m not sure if ’want’ is more romantic than ’like,’ Hyung."

"It should be."

"And why is that?"

"I wouldn’t want someone I don’t like."

"That’s not always true, Hyung. Did you like all the people you’ve slept with?"

Song Sihyuk looked at Garam in disbelief, and then he raised an eyebrow. "I see. So, you associate the word ’want’ with ’sexual attraction.’ Is it safe to assume that you associate ’like’ with ’romantic feelings?’"

"Yes," Garam confirmed while nodding. "Call me naïve or whatever. But that’s how I think. Having said that, I’m still honored that a hot specimen of a man like Hyung wants me."

"’Hot specimen of a man?’"

"Come on, Hyung. I know you know you’re hot."

"Still, this is the first time someone called me a ’hot specimen of a man,’" Song Sihyuk said, and then he suddenly burst out laughing. "You surely have a way with words, Garam-ah."

Garam beamed because it was a compliment that he liked hearing. "Thank you, Hyung. I co-wrote most of our songs, so I guess I really do have a way with words."

"Wow. You only like compliments related to work, huh?"

"Most of Hyung’s compliments are for flirting, so you can’t blame me if I prefer your wholesome compliments."

Song Sihyuk just chuckled.

Okay, I feel more relaxed now.

Admittedly, Garam tensed up when Song Sihyuk suddenly brought up having a child.

But, now that he was less anxious, he could think clearly again.

It’s time to go back to the more serious stuff.

"Hyung, we’re getting sidetracked."

"I have a reason why I said that."

"I’m listening."

"You know that I was summoned by my grandfather, right?"

"Yes, Hyung."

"I found out that he knows I’m married to you all this time," Song Sihyuk confessed. "And Grandfather wants me to divorce you."

The majority of the new generation don’t think that way anymore, but most old Alphas are still stuck in that mindset.

And he could see it working temporarily.

But it’s better than Sihyuk Hyung’s Grandfather bothering us.
