Idols Around the World 870

Chapter 870 – #97. Lanna (30)

“There are cases where you run a fairly large entertainment company…”

A fairly large entertainment company?

“Some people run fashion brands.”

Even the woman who runs a fashion brand?
How many women have you mentioned so far?
But her husband didn’t stop talking there.

“There are two more girls from conglomerate families who are on the same level as Kanna. I’ll tell you more about these people later when I’m introduced to them. I wouldn’t be able to imagine if I told them now.”

There are three women from chaebol families?!
I’m listening to the story, and the scale starts to get bigger and bigger.

“Did you tell me everything?”
“Wouldn’t it be enough to just say this?”

That means there are more.
Ran I was more than imagined the women her husband hid.
It’s still hard to believe, but I’ve heard that the reason he came here is to spread the gene.

“Are there so many women to spread the gene?”
“…There are things like that, but it’s more about being a family because we love each other.”

It means that they met, grew in love, and formed a family, just like they did for me.
She was not happy to know her husband, who would have been as sweet to another woman as she was.

‘I shouldn’t be jealous…’

Her husband, seeing that her expression was getting worse, caressed her cheek.

“Are you in a bad mood?”
“I’ve been prepared for all this time. What kind of woman would leave someone like you alone? I’d never do that either. So I thought I’d accept it calmly even when a day like this comes.”
“Where is the mind controlled by reason? It’s okay to be jealous. Don’t try to suppress it too much.

Her husband calmed her down, saying that it was natural for her to be jealous.
Ran I never told her husband about her dad and her mom.
So the jealous woman’s ugliness will be unknown to her husband.

“To solve it on you? What if then you get tired of me?”
“Am I tired of you? You know that’s ridiculous.”
“…Actually, I have a confession to make.”

In fact, she had no intention of confiding in her husband about her mother’s affairs.
But now that she knew that her husband had not one or two other women, but a great number of them, she was not sure when her jealousy would explode.
Are you still shaking?
So it occurred to me to ask her husband for forgiveness by telling her story about her mother ahead of time.

“It’s something I didn’t want to say, but I’m revealing it because I want you to control me when I cross the line.”
“Was it a hard secret to tell?”
“It’s no more than what you told me.”

He was the one who told me the secret of being an alien, but could it be because he was reluctant to talk about his mother and father?
Lanna mustered up her courage and revealed what she had been hiding all along.

“It’s not even about me. It’s about mom and dad.”
“Can I listen to the story of my mother-in-law and father-in-law?”
“Perhaps.”

The generation above her mom and dad, so her grandparents were around that time, she says.
When the number of men gradually dwindled to such an extent that polygamy was made into law.
However, people still took monogamy for granted, and they did not immediately get used to the changed law.
The culture of pointing fingers at a man dating multiple women was still there.
There were many accidents because of that.
During such a chaotic time, Lanna’s mom and her dad got married.
The reason their love was unhappy was that her mother was very jealous and her father was a very proud man.

“Dad was a man of faith. But my mother was suspicious of such a father. Among mental illnesses, there was a thing called dysphoria. At the time, I was too young to know, but later I found out that there was such a disease.”

Her dyslexic mother frankly confessed that she doubted her father over and over again like a madman.

“In the end, Dad couldn’t stand Mom’s jealousy. Seeing from the side, I got fed up with Mom’s behavior, but what did Dad, who was involved in, really do? He didn’t want to lose Dad, so his actions led to him losing him.”

Her husband listened calmly to her secret without changing his expression.
It was good that she didn’t rush to say something to comfort her right away.
Even at this moment, I was acutely feeling that the person had not changed even though her face had changed.

“Did you say it out of fear that you might end up like your mother-in-law?”

Instead of hasty consolation, he understands her inner thoughts without having to tell them.

“Yes. I heard that I look a lot like my mother since I was little. So I was very worried. What if I changed like my mother? And he said that if he wanted to bring his mother back, he would have to disappear.”
“…So that’s why it was like that.”

Her husband’s expression darkens.

“So you did?”
“No. So, how did things go with your father-in-law?”
“You remember I didn’t come to the wedding, right?”
“I remember.”
“Maybe they don’t even know I’m married. Since I left like that, I’ve never called back. My mom has been such a terrible person and she’s no longer in touch.”
“Still, didn’t you think she would like to contact you at least once?”

I would be lying if I said I never missed seeing my dad.
But there was no way.

“Actually, there’s no way I can contact my dad.”
“You don’t have any contact?”
“Yes. She didn’t even ask her mother in the first place. But her mother wouldn’t know either. If she was a mother suffering from dyslexia, she wouldn’t have known her phone number and stayed quiet.”
“What if she could get her contact number?”
“…Really can you?”
“Yes, I can save you as much as you want.”

She will be able to contact her dad la…
During her adolescence, she resented her father for leaving her, and resented her mother countless times for causing it.
And when she sees her dad again she says why didn’t she take her own she was about to get mad.
But now that she was about the same age as her father, she realized that all such resentment was meaningless.

“I’m not sure if keeping in touch is good or bad. But I’m curious about how my dad is living.”
“Then can you find out?”
“If it doesn’t bother you…”
“It’s not a burden at all. You just prepare your mind well. I’ll find out soon.”
“Thank you. I didn’t mean this…”
“Thank you so much. It wouldn’t have been easy to say, but I’m glad you said it.”

She didn’t know that revealing her hidden secret would produce such an outcome, but thinking that she might really be able to meet her father made her head twitch.
At least I wanted to know how my dad was living.

‘She knows that her mother did something wrong, but it would be unfair if her father who left us was living well.’

But the ironic thing is, that doesn’t mean I’m hoping for news that my dad isn’t doing too well.
She just wanted her dad to regret it.
For leaving her mother and herself heartlessly.

‘What if, instead of leaving us, we were trying to fix her mother’s mental illness?’

Mom wasn’t in such a serious condition that her problems couldn’t be fixed.
She may have corrected the behavior that gave her dad a hard time if he had the right treatment.
To prove it, I wanted to tell her father.
She said that although she was a mother who suffered from mental illness and made her father difficult, she proudly raised her daughter.

“If my mom had been a really troubled person, she would have been distraught when my dad left.” But it wasn’t.’

Of course, the shock of her father’s departure made her sick for a few days.
But she got back up for herself and started working.
Her mom did her part as her mom, and her dad made the easy choice of giving up on her mom and her and leaving her.
So while her resentment towards her mother is great, there is also no resentment towards her father, whom she gave up so easily.

‘Besides that… I still can’t forget it. Those eyes that looked at me and her mother at the end.’

The last time she saw her dad’s eyes came as a shock to her when she was young.
It was the look in her eyes that looked at her mother as something she loathed and despised.
Those cold, bitter eyes were still vividly remembered even though Lanna had grown up and created her own family.

♧ ♧ ♧

The reason why he is passive about marriage and the probability of breaking up is over 90% even if he writes out all kinds of scenarios.
Who would have known that it was all caused by the father-in-law?
Now that I heard it myself, the back of my head even tingled.

‘If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have had to go through all that trouble…’

I’m glad you know now
And I also thought I was good at delaying introducing her to another woman, as I expected.
For other people, ‘jealousy’ is a natural emotion that can be rectified if I do my best, but for Lanna, her jealousy could become her self-destructive emotion.
Even if I pay attention, there is a high probability of producing bad results unless the cause is removed.

“Here are the results of the investigation, Master.”
“Thank you.”

She asked Melissa to find just one person, and she found one without difficulty.
I knew his name, age, face, and even his job, but there was no reason for it to take long.

“Hmm…”

When I checked her papers, I saw Lanna’s face as soon as I saw her face.

“They definitely look alike.”
“Relationships with women are very neat these days, not like men. These days, 3 people is a very small number, right?
“How was the reputation around you?”
“It was normal. He’s not such a bad person, and he’s not particularly good either. But would you like to take a look at your current spouse?”
“Spouse, why is this?”

Just three people.
However, since there was a mother-in-law among them, it meant that there were two women.

“The second woman. That woman is the adulterous woman that Mr. Lanna’s mother suspected.”

Hearing Melissa’s words, I was momentarily dazed.

“Is this woman an adulterous woman?”
“Yes. She is a junior in school, works at the same company, and even works in the same department. But it turns out that she is the daughter of the president of the company she works for? Doesn’t this smell like something light?”

Why did my mother-in-law have no choice but to get suspicious?
The possibility that the cause might lie elsewhere was emerging anew.
