59. Forgiveness is faster than permission (3)
Forgiveness is faster than permission (3)
It’s been a few hours since John’s daughter, Anna, came to her house, but he was taking care of her granddaughter in his arms without even hearing her proper explanation.
Her wife, who had no doubt that she would be by her side, welcomed Anna and her granddaughter without any reaction.
“Ahh~. Does it look like you at all? It’s really the same as when I was younger.”
“Ahhh. Is it? Our Olivia resembles me, so she’s pretty~”
“You’re pretty because you look like me~. Thank you mom.”
As the heartwarming conversation went on, John’s mind became more complicated. Because he felt like his common sense was all twisted.
If your daughter, whom you haven’t seen in a while and haven’t had any proper contact with for the past year, comes back with her newborn baby, of course it’s common sense to ask what happened, but John couldn’t get it out of his mouth. .
It was because he was not in the mood to argue about something, but because the granddaughter held in his arms was so cute, he even thought that a good thing might not be a good thing.
‘No… ! What the hell am I thinking?! Her granddaughter is innocent, but shouldn’t she know what’s going on?’
John took her heart and spoke to Anna.
“Anna…. I won’t blame you, so tell your dad what happened to you… ?”
Due to his personality, even if it was a daughter he loved, he would have been yelling at her and arguing about this and that. However, because of the ambiguous atmosphere and the granddaughter in his arms, he showed a softening reaction in many ways.
“… Will you understand anything I say?”
“Um…. Listen to that….”
“Huh. What are you listening to? If you say that, how can I trust you?”
“No… ! There is a case, so listen first and judge… !!”
“Ahh!!!”
As soon as his voice rose, the granddaughter started to respond.
“Dad! Olivia is sensitive!! You can’t shout!”
“Oh, no…. It’s not….”
His head started to get hot, but it started to get cold right away. The thought of arguing with Anna was gone and all her nerves were focused on her granddaughter.
“Oops~. I’m sorry about her grandfather~.”
“Ehehehe~.”
Her granddaughter began to smile as she gently stroked and comforted her several times.
“Because Dad keeps getting so angry, we can’t talk and Olivia cries. Honestly, no matter what I say, you’re going to get mad at me, right? Then our relationship would go wrong and I wouldn’t be able to see Olivia… Is Dad still okay?”
“Huh? Why are you exaggerating so much… ?”
“Exaggeration? Even though I didn’t even say anything, you’re already screaming like this and exaggerating?”
“Kuhmm….”
As Anna said, it was John himself who got angry when the conversation didn’t start. Even if the request was excessive, it was not something to raise your voice.
“You’re trying to get angry at something so trivial, but will I speak because I’m nervous? If something really serious had happened, would I have returned home confidently? So, promise me one thing. Please understand what I am saying and do not be angry.”
“Ummm….”
As Anna said, John thought that if something really serious had happened, he wouldn’t have come home with such a lively face. There were still many questions left, but John, swept away by the atmosphere, nodded his head.
“Good. Please tell me, because no matter what you say, I will understand.”
“Yes! No two words with one mouth!”
Accepting her promise, Anna straightened her posture with her lively face.
“Ummm…. Where should I start talking…. Do you remember the boy named Siwoo Kim that her father met a few years ago?”
“Siwoo Kim… ? Ah! That grumpy-looking fellow from your party? You can’t… ?!!”
“No! Ugh. I really want you to stop rushing.”
“Umm, yes. I’m sorry, Dad.”
“Anyway, Siwoo Kim was a troubled kid. He was the kind of guy who tried to hit everyone in the party and strangle them on three legs.”
“Huh…. From the first time I saw it, I was very reluctant… But back then, didn’t you guys step up and defend him?”
The image of Kim Si-woo in John’s memory was not very good. His outward demeanor was plausible, but his eyes were somehow insidious, leaving a feeling of uneasiness.
He remembered that Anna and her friends defended him wholeheartedly.
“He used hypnosis or something. We got stuck and were treated like slaves….”
“Hypnosis?!”
“Dad! Shh!”
John jumped up to her seat at Anna’s explosive remark, but when he saw Anna’s restraint and her granddaughter in her arms, he quietly sat down.
“Anyway, I can tell you with certainty that nothing like what Dad thinks happened. It’s not like he never had that, but he had someone to help us with.”
“Who helped?”
“Yes. Whenever we were in danger, the person who helped us even sacrificing ourselves and eventually freed us from Kim Si-woo’s clutches….”
“I can’t believe that person….”
“Right. It’s Olivia’s dad. It frees us from Siwoo Kim’s clutches, allows us to shake off what Siwoo Kim is tracking, and ends with Siwoo Kim, the worst human being… Yes, I will stop here.”
John was able to fully predict what happened without having to listen to everything Anna said.
“…I fully understand what kind of person the child’s father is. I can understand to some extent the lack of contact in the meantime. But did you really want to talk like this? If you’re such a decent person, I fully admit it. No way… Did something bad happen to your father?”
It was only Anna’s words, but John thought he was a pretty decent guy. For him, a man who does everything in his power to protect the woman he loves, who has the extreme southern tendency to say that he is the best, the story Anna tells is like a heroic tale.
I wasn’t from a conservative family in the East, and I had no reason or thought to oppose it unless there were any major problems.
“No, I am perfectly fine. It’s a problem because I’m a bit busy with childcare.”
“Parenting? Is our granddaughter here? Could it be that she is a twin?”
“No, that’s not it.”
“… ? Otherwise, why are you busy with childcare?”
John scratched his head at Anna’s words that didn’t make sense.
“Did I tell you? He said he saved us from Siwoo Kim’s clutches….”
“Uh, yes. It did.”
“Us.”
“Yes, I did.”
“Us.”
“How many times are you talking about? I know what’s important….”
The dreadful thought that ran through his mind silenced John. Anna’s repeated, emphatic voices unnerved John.
“You… no way….?”
It was a dizzying guess, but somehow I kept hearing that this might be the correct answer.
“Dad, you promised, right? I will not be angry and will understand whatever I say.”
“You… !!”
Realizing that he had been greatly taken by Anna, John couldn’t keep up with her words.
“Ah, please don’t misunderstand. We seduced him, he did nothing wrong.”
John was even more incensed by the way he defended himself as his husband, but he had a hard time reacting properly. He doesn’t have a frivolous side, but he is a real man who always keeps his word.
For him, it was very difficult to overturn his promise to his daughter, no matter how ridiculous it was.
“I don’t expect much from my father. Please understand at least a little why I made this choice. Am I really happy?”
“Soon Daehyun… So, since my husband is coming, please talk to me. He’s a really nice guy.”
Anna’s request did not go well with him.
‘A trap, a trap.’
He came to the house with a sudden notification, handed over her granddaughter, distracted her, figured out her personality, and accepted a ridiculous promise….
‘I should have felt something strange from the time he kept passing it on to me even though his daughter was crying….
John felt the strength of his daughter all over again when he recalled using his granddaughter to seal his hands, feet, and even his mouth.
-Ding Dong
A doorbell rang to see who was in front of the house.
“Ah! Daehyun must have arrived.”
Anna got up from her seat and went to her front door, but John got up first and handed her granddaughter over to her daughter.
“Wow! Dad, watch out!”
“Anna…. As you said, I will try to understand you.”
“… !! Dad!!!”
At John’s words, Anna put on a very moved expression and began to shed tears.
“But I understand you, not your husband?”
“… ?!?! Dad?!!!!”
Anna, who looked straight up, understood John’s intentions and tried to stop him, but John was one step faster.
At the same time, John showed off his parkour and jumped over the sofa, crossed the hallway, and opened the closed front door.
“Dad! No way!!!”
Anna’s screams came from behind her, but he didn’t care.
What I saw in front of my eyes was a large Asian man.
For some reason, the fact that the granddaughter’s face overlaps is probably not his own illusion.
‘What are you? You look like our granddaughter!!!!!!’
“Ah! Hello!! Father-in-law… !!”
“Who is your father-in-law!!! You bastard!!!!!!”
John’s fist, thrown out in a question and answer dance, hit the man’s face. It was the moment when the killing fist, which had been honed for decades by sweeping professional competitions, shined.
-Wow!
The sound of something breaking filled the housing complex on the outskirts of London.
