Four Ways to get a wife - LK Adaptation

Chapter 13.5

Upon arriving in Korea, Jungkook, who had just completed the examination by the prosecutor's office, immediately headed to the Goryo C&T office where Director Oh was located.

To end their bad working relationship, Jungkook had to travel from the eastern to western United States for four days. Just as he was about to reap the fruits of his labor, news of Lisa for the first time made Jungkook doubt his actions.

"She really wants to end her relationship with me? Isn't it just a joke?"

"Well, did Lisa tell you that she was leaving?"

"That..."

The last time they met, they talked about the farm. However, he didn't expect that her dream would come true so soon, without any notice. Lisa didn't even say anything to Jungkook.

"Do you know where she went?"

"Where did she go?"

"To the botanical garden led by Jae Hyun."

"Seriously."

Jungkook couldn't believe the news. His face immediately looked tense with jealousy and disappointment.

He suddenly felt angry. He felt disbelief when he heard that she went to another man, even though he only left her for one week.

"You didn't know at all?"

"Yes."

That woman only said she wanted to realize her dream of gardening, not that she was going to Jae Hyun. What happened to Lisa during that week?

While Jungkook was still busy thinking about that, their car finally arrived at the front door of Goryo C&T's office. He forgot about his hurt heart for a moment and went forward to settle his work affairs and his feud so far.

When Jungkook entered the meeting room, Director Oh who had been waiting for him immediately lowered his folded legs and smiled to greet him. His face still looked bright and relaxed. However, Jungkook knew how worried and tense that person was behind his calm face.

After learning that Jungkook visited his coworker's company in Washington in America where his mother used to live, and San Diego where his mother got married, Director Oh must have felt anxious and uneasy. Worried that Jungkook would find traces of his past actions.

However, in contrast to Director Oh's cheerful face, Jae Hyun's mother's face looked confident and brave.

"It looks like I'll also have to talk to Mom for a while."

"Don't you dare threaten me by bringing up Jae Hyun."

"Do you really think I don't know about Jae Hyun?"

As usual, Jungkook confronted Mrs. Oh and immediately asked without preamble. That's right. It was impossible for Jungkook not to know that if Jae Hyun, who was much more innocent than Jungkook, knew.

"But, why are you silent?"

"It's none of your business."

Jungkook did not tell her how Jae Hyun saved him from the darkness of the basement when he was a child. Mrs. Oh's face glanced at him curiously, but Jungkook had no intention of telling Mrs. Oh.

She then smiled bitterly as if she had just remembered that this child was like that.

"Alright. Then, is there anything else you want to say besides Jae Hyun's business?"

"I will leave my mother's case alone and not touch it again. But, I won't forgive if you guys make the woman who is my lover get hurt just a little bit. Because I won't let it happen again this time."
