Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 228: Unedited

The tension at the Lee mansion hasn’t died down at all. Mrs Lee still looked her husband outside of their bedroom as she was bent on having him change his mind about Eun-sun, little did she know her actions were only agitating her husband and helping him solidify his decision not to allow Dan-Han marry that girl.

He sighed when he saw his wife walk into his private study as he looked away, he badly wanted to look at her face but he was feeling I offended for being treated poorly.

“Whatever you’re going to ask, my answer is still no.” He said before she could say anything. His words and attitude made her sigh.

“Are you really going to be this stubborn?” Mrs Lee asked exasperatedly. She was feeling very weak and tired today, and was also feeling nauseous. She could tell something was wrong with her body and but she allow that to stop her from doing all she wanted to do.

Mr Lee turned to look at her incredulously, “I’m being stubborn?” He asked.

“Yes you are.” Mrs Lee affirmed making his scoff.

“You and your son are the one being unreasonable. I’m only looking out for the good of the family but what are you both trying to do?” He asked in an angry tone making Mrs Lee sigh.

.....

“I know you’re looking out for the family, but first you should look out for our son’s happiness. He’s happy with this girl. Haven’t you learnt from my mistake?” She asked him making Mr Lee to look at her silently.

Mrs Lee took the opportunity to walk closer to her husband and placed her hand on his hand which was treated on tbe table, “I don’t want to argue with anymore. I’m sorry but please for my sake give her a chance. See her first and talk to her, I can assure you’ll like her too. She makes our son happy so please do this for us, for me this might be the last thing I’ll ever ask from you.” Mr Lee turned to look at her when he heard her last words. What does she mean by that?

He was about to ask her that when she suddenly continued, “I’ll ask Dan-Han to bring her for dinner this weekend, please give her a chance.” She told him. Mr Lee just had his gaze fixed on her without saying anything. He still wanted to protest and tell her he wouldn’t change his decision, but he decided to stay mute at the last minute. He wanted her to see her physically. Though he had seen a few pictures of her from the report he had gotten but he still wanted to see.

He sighed and looked away from her after few minutes of silence. Mrs Lee took his silence as a positive response and placed a kiss on his cheek and said, “Thank honey. I’m sure you’ll like her very much.” Mrs Lee chirped before sauntering out of the office. Mr Lee looked at his retreating back and his heart almost wavered for a moment but he strengthened his resolve. Whether his life liked this girl or not, the truth he couldn’t just allow anybody to become the madam of the Lee family.

They weren’t just an ordinary family. Though they had their days of little beginnings and those days met alot for him, but the truth was the Lee family wasn’t as small as it used to be anymore. It was now influential and it had a lot of connections in the business world, he had to admit they had risen this far because they had involved themselves in a few underground activities at the time but he had pulled away from them after they became a stronghold in tbe business world and in the country at large and that has earned them most especially him a lot of enemies. He had tried to rid himself and his company from anything that would lead them back to that world or that would associate them by with it. Yes, people could say he was a hypocrite but he Couldn’t change this fact.

The Lee family would never be associated to wrong people, not now or ever!.

...

Still carrying the woman who owned his heart on thighs, she still had her face buried on the crook of his neck and her warm breath was heating him up but Dan-Han couldn’t focus on those things. He had to talk to her, if he didn’t do it now he didn’t know when he’d do it again.

“Honey” Dan-Han called in a gentle voice, his hand wrapped around her waist.

“Hmm” Eun-sun responded just same way he does whenever she called him.

“Do you want to find your father?” Dan-Han hesistantly asked. He impatiently waited for her answer. Eun-sun slowly let go of her hold around his neck, she sat up right and looked at him.

They haven’t really talked about her father before now except that one time at the hospital where she had casually mentioned it, so why was he asking now?

She looked at him with much intensity before nodding her head, “Yes.” She replied. She didn’t think there’s was much to hide from him. He was a man that loved her and had treated differently more than anyone had ever treated her, and she loved him too so she thought she could talk to him about it.

“But do you think he wants to be found?” He asked her another question making Eun-sun look at him with cocked brows. She didn’t understand what he meant by that.

“What do you mean?” Eun-sun curious asked.

Dan-Han saw the anxiety in her eyes as she looked at him waiting for his answer. He was sure Eun-sun would understand what he meant in no distant time. But for now he didn’t want to overload her with depressing things. She had just stopped crying not too long ago and he didn’t want a repeat of that.

She was a strong girl yes, but he didn’t think she was ready to know the truth about her father in one night. He would build her curiousty about her father and slowly prepare her for the worse.

Dan-Han was about to find a way to dismiss their current conversation when his phone suddenly rang. He sighed when he saw it was his mother calling.

‘What now?’ He cringed in his head. He silenced the phone, he had no intention of picking her calls now, that inquisitive mother of his was probably going to harruange him about something, mostly marriage as that was what she was most concerned about. He was going to return her calls later, after he dropped this big baby who was still waiting to hear his reply, home.

Eun-sun who had caught a glimpse of the number which was calling him scowled at him when he refused to answer his mother’s call.

“Why are you not picking up?” She asked him in a cold tone.

“Nothing. I’ll call her later.” He bluntly replied making Eun-sun to scowl even more. How dare he not pick his mother’s call? Who wouldn’t pick the call of a sweet woman like Mrs Lee? Had she been like her mother she wouldn’t care but that woman was like an angel sent to dwell on earth.

She picked up the phone and handed it to Dan-Han and with a threatening look she ordered, “Answer her now.”

Dan-Han looked at her amusedly when he saw her threatening gaze. He wanted to tell her his mother was probably going to bother him with some baseless things like usual but he refrained himself. The scary look on Eun-sun’s face told him she wasn’t going to take no for an answer.

“I thought you were not going to pick” She said. She wouldn’t be surprised if that actually happened, because that has been his habit towards her after that incident several years ago. He had told her she was too intrusive and needed his space, but Mrs Lee was relentless. She was going to fix the relationship between her son and herself before she dies.

Good evening Mother.” Dan-Han greeted, his eyes still glued at Eun-sun who was giving him as curt look.

“Good evening son. How are you?” She asked.

“Mother I’m fine.” He replied listlessly.

“That’s good. Won’t you ask mother as she’s doing?” She asked him making Dan-Han roll his eyes and Eun-sun equally rolled her eyes at him as well. Such a rude child she thought.

People didn’t really know what they havr.
