116 It’s Because of Ji-yun

"Did he say that in front of you?" Yanmei asked. 

When Anton did not answer, she instantly knew. "So what is it? You are ashamed of me?"

"Nonsense! You are practically living in my house, my parents adore you so much, especially my mom. At home, the entire city knows you are my woman!" He retorted.

"Then why?!!"

"Yanmei... I made a mistake." Anton massaged his temples before he finally said, "It's… It's because of Ji-yun."

He began to tell the story behind Yeong Shiwoo and his family, including his only daughter Ji-yun and the reason for his recent temperament.

There was a time when they lived at the Yeong's estate before their migration to Indonesia. Shiwoo's family had sold most of their properties in Korea, including their home. This was their reason for living with Jae-won for a temporary period while waiting for their documents.
