Chapter 873 – #97. Lanna (33)
The woman took control of her own father’s company, making her husband the president of her company.
The woman worked as her husband’s secretary, and she was living by his side without ever leaving her.
She has two children and two daughters…
The two daughters had quite a colorful past.
“It’s crazy. It’s a house with money, so it would have prevented it to some extent, but if the story was this spectacular…”
“Honey, look at the picture. I don’t know how the two daughters look so much like their mother. Just looking at their eyes wide open, I think they have very dirty personalities.”
Both daughters had faces that looked just like their mothers.
When I told Lanna to look at her picture, I didn’t hesitate to curse at her half-sister.
Ranna smiled at my words and then looked at her picture and said.
“That’s right. Dad doesn’t look alike at all.”
The impression of the father-in-law was very gentle.
On the other hand, the woman had a very strong face. It would have been nice if the two faces were properly mixed, but all of her daughters only resembled their mother’s face.
But
“To me, they’re like half-brothers, so I don’t know how I can’t get close to them.”
“I don’t think they’re good enough people to get along with. I have a very bad reputation at work.”
“Since their father is the CEO, the company is like their kingdom to them.”
Lanna was hesitant to contact her father-in-law.
So, even though she clearly knew the contact number, she was taking a break while carefully examining the results of the investigation.
It can’t be easy to contact her dad after decades.
Even if it was me, it would have been difficult to make an easy call.
She said, ‘Of course, I’ve never had a father, so I’ve never thought about this before.’
If you can’t empathize, isn’t it your husband’s job to give you courage?
She made her sneaky offer to give her courage.
Her cell phone, which hadn’t been connected yet, was warm from the warmth of her hand.
“Shouldn’t we get in touch soon?”
“…Yes.”
“If you’re having a hard time, I can do it for you. I’m your husband, so I’m qualified for that.”
“No. This is what I have to do.”
Lanna gets her heart all over again.
And she finally dialed her father-in-law’s number on her cell phone to connect her call.
Doo-doo- doo- doo-
-Hello. I got a call.
“!!!!”
It wasn’t just one or two years, but her father’s voice that she had been hearing for over 10 years.
She’s the one who wrote countless screenplays.
But when the situation came, she was speechless and could not say anything.
And I, who was watching me with panic, took her cell phone out of her hand and put it to her ear.
“Hello, old man.”
-Yes? Are you an adult craftsman? I think you dialed the wrong number.
His two daughters were not yet married, so I felt embarrassed when I called them father-in-law.
“No, I made the right call. I am Mr. Lanna’s husband.”
-…Did you say Lanna?
The father-in-law’s voice sank even lower.
“Yes, that’s right.”
-That…The child is married. Well, after all these years, it must have been enough time to get married.
“I’m sorry. I should have contacted you sooner.
-No. I probably couldn’t have made my story easier. A guy like me is such a good guy to think about… Thank you for contacting me like this even now. Thanks for the good news.
I’m surprised
Why did you contact me, I thought that cold words might come back, saying that it was a long time since I cut ties with that person.
Maybe Ran was worried about that too, so she didn’t call me.
But unexpectedly, the grown-up father-in-law had been saying bitterly that he would not be a good memory for Ran and her mother-in-law.
‘Didn’t my mother-in-law leave because she was obsessed with it?’
For now, leaving the question to herself, she decided to talk about the matter first.
The more she talked with her father-in-law, the more Lanna’s face turned pale.
“I wanted to meet and greet Lanna, so I contacted her.”
-She says the child will meet me?
“Of course.”
-Haa~ It’s so sudden…
“I fully understand. Father-in-law. Still, after so much time has passed, shouldn’t we meet?”
The father-in-law sighed deeply, probably thinking too much.
In fact, I was listening to all of these conversations, so she thought it wouldn’t be good to prolong her time too much.
‘I’m going to run out of breath after doing this.’
I asked her if she would accept her phone with a wink of her eyes, and she shook her head to indicate her refusal.
It seemed that he was much more frightened than he thought.
-Um…I’ll take my time. I don’t know if it’s okay because I don’t have a face.
“Thank you, father-in-law.”
-No. I’m more grateful. But… Is he doing well?
The voice of the adult father-in-law asking how Lanna-san was doing was trembling.
“Yes, I’m doing well. And please feel free to talk to me.”
– No, that will take a little while. What am I supposed to do now and pretend to be the child’s father? He doesn’t deserve it.
Lanna, who is listening to the father-in-law, takes my hand.
As he held her hand willingly, he felt the moist sweat on her palm.
The atmosphere seemed to be too sluggish, so I decided to say something that would be nice to hear.
“I thought we’d meet and talk, but I think it’s right to talk to you now.”
-Do I need to know?
“Yes, Mr. Lanna and I have two children and she is pregnant again this time, they are triplets.”
– You already have two children?! And triplets? Huh…
I wonder if my words had an effect, the voice of the father-in-law suddenly came to life.
“I can send you a picture if you want.”
-Can you please? No, she thinks the boy might not like it… Excuse me…
“Why do you think she’d hate it? She wouldn’t. Rather, she’d love it.”
-It’s because I’m a bad dad. I didn’t do anything for that kid.
No matter how much he did, he could be greedy for photos of his grandchildren and granddaughters, but even that seemed cautious.
“Would you like to talk to Lanna-san?”
– Does she have that child by her side?
Lanna fluttered her hair, added her hand gesture, and shook her head.
It was a desperate cry for her to never speak.
Reluctantly, I decided to lie to my father-in-law.
“No, she’s not by her side, but she’ll come when you call.”
– Oh no. I think it’s right to say it face to face.
After making an appointment with my father-in-law for a specific time to meet, I hung up the phone.
“Ah! Why did you do that at the end when you were doing well? You were surprised.”
“It was because I was on the phone and acted like I was going to pass out of breath. I thought I would know it wasn’t a big deal once I tried it.”
“Hearing her father’s voice for the first time in a long time, she became very nervous and her head went blank. If she had heard it herself, she would have vomited.”
“I couldn’t say a word with my father-in-law, do you have any regrets?”
How much preparation did she have for Lanna to make one call to her?
She organizes what she wants to say, checks the way she speaks, and…
It was a call that connected after worrying about various concerns.
“You’ve been thinking a lot about what you want to say.”
“I’m going to do that in person. I think that would be better.”
I did think that it would be easier to convey each other’s honest feelings to each other rather than talking over the phone.
Even though it was just a conversation with his son-in-law, he could sense from his voice that the father-in-law was very nervous.
So, if the two of you were talking on the phone, you might end up in silence because you were so nervous that you couldn’t speak properly.
‘I didn’t know, but Lanna looks a lot like her father-in-law.’
Seeing the resemblance between the two already made me laugh.
“Thank you. I wonder what I would have done without you.”
“Since we’ve made an appointment, let’s organize our minds a bit more until then. Then we’ll be able to talk more comfortably when we meet.”
“Yes. It could be.”
“And it seems that the father-in-law is feeling sorry for Lanna-san? I think he was worried for nothing.”
“I never thought I’d say that either. I never thought my dad would think that way.”
Ranna seemed confused that her father’s phone conversation was completely different from her own thoughts.
“It was a choice my father-in-law made, but I don’t think he had any regrets, especially since leaving a child is never easy, you know?”
Unless she has given birth to a child, she will not be able to relate to her feelings.
But Lanna and I already had children.
She knew what a terrible pain it was to leave her child.
Just imagining it makes my heart thump! That it falls
“If it’s that hard, you can come to me. Dad never came to visit me.”
“Would it really never happen?”
“Yes?”
“If it were me, I would have secretly visited and stolen it. Of course, this is just a family, so don’t take it seriously. But the father-in-law must have endured the painful process in his own way.”
I don’t know if that feeling will be greater or less than the pain my mother-in-law must have felt.
However, she thought that it would be nice if she did not break up with her father-in-law after saying only words of resentment at the place of a really difficult reunion.
♧ ♧ ♧
A reunion with her dad, whom she hadn’t seen in over 10 years.
I couldn’t guess what would happen.
Why did you contact me?
In fact, there were far more negative expectations than positive expectations for the reunion with my father.
However, during a phone call with her father that her husband made for her, something unimaginable happened.
Dad was feeling sorry for himself.
‘Are you saying you’re sorry for leaving me so cold-hearted? Joy! It must have been nothing since he was in front of his son-in-law.’
As much as she suffered for nothing, she pursed her lips in the desire to complain.
