Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194: BUSINESS TRIP

"HYUNG, I’m sorry for dropping by unannounced. If you have an important schedule today, I can just leave the presents that I brought for Gunwoo and go home."

Aww.

Garam thought that Kim Heedo, the oldest grandson of Ilsung Group’s current chairman, was a nice kid.

He’s a chaebol like Sihyuk Hyung, but this kid is much nicer than my ex-husband.

Maybe not all chaebols were a jerk like Song Sihyuk.

"It’s alright, Heedo-ya," Garam said. Yes, he was speaking comfortably with Kim Heedo now because that was the kid’s request. "We’re just planning to go to the wildlife sanctuary to buy a fennec fox for Gunwoo."

The wildlife sanctuary that Song Sihyuk contacted was selling wild animals.

It kinda feels illegal, though.

After all, a fennec fox was still a wild animal. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"By any chance, did you read ’The Little Prince’ to Gunwoo, Hyung?"

"Not me, but Sihyuk Hyung did."

Kim Heedo nodded as if he had just confirmed something. "When my twin siblings were around Gunwoo’s age, our mother read the same book to them. After that, the twins cried for days, begging our parents to buy them a fennec fox as a pet. My father gave in easily, but not my mother. Eomma wasn’t comfortable letting my young siblings take care of a pet— a wild animal, at that. So, we found a way to convince the twins that foxes aren’t meant to be pets."

Garam’s ears perked up after hearing that. "Heedo-ya, actually, I don’t feel comfortable letting Gunwoo own a wild animal for a pet. It’s just wrong, but I can’t say no to my son after what happened to him. Can you share the trick you did to make your twin siblings give up on the fox?"

"Sure, Hyung," Kim Heedo said, pausing for a moment. "Actually, can I talk to Gunwoo? We don’t want him to feel that his parents are taking back their words."

Oh, that made sense.

Gunwoo might feel betrayed and not trust us anymore.

"You’re right, Heedo-ya," Garam said, nodding. "Then can I leave it to you?"

Kim Heedo nodded. "Yes, Hyung."

"DID KIM HEEDO leave already?"

Garam had just finished putting all the dishes that he cooked on the table when Song Sihyuk returned to the dining hall.

The Alpha went to the balcony earlier to answer an important work call.

"I asked Heedo-ya to check if Gunwoo is already awake. He wanted to try convincing our son not to get a fox for a pet," Garam explained, sitting on the center seat. "Let’s have breakfast first, Hyung. The kids will come down once they’re done talking."

Song Sihyuk nodded, sitting next to Garam instead of the other center seat opposite of his chair. "You really don’t a fox for a pet, huh?"

"It still feels illegal, even though we don’t have strong laws against owning wild animals as pets."

"Yet. I’m sure the government will soon make owning wild animals as pets illegal."

"You know that, but you still offered to get our son a fox."

"Well, our family is above the law."

Aigooya.

"Hyung, don’t teach Gunwoo that your family is above the law," Garam said sternly. "I’m serious. I don’t want our son to grow up thinking he can do whatever he wants without consequences."

"Alright, I won’t."

"And let’s work harder not to spoil him too much."

"Okay, I got it."

"You’re being suspiciously obedient, Hyung."

"I told you— I won’t do anything that will make you angry again."

That was the bare minimum.

But knowing how manipulative Sihyuk Hyung is, I’d say this is a big improvement.

"Let’s just eat, Hyung."

While in the middle of their meal, Song Sihyuk asked him a question.

"How long do you think Gunwoo needs as a break from school?"

"I’m thinking of letting our son rest for a week," Garam said. Any conversation about their son was always welcome. "I want him to get familiar with his doctors and therapist first. Then I need to talk to his friends’ parents about our ’school bus’ agenda."

Hyung was often overseas, even back when we were still married.
