Chapter 107 - Little Hae came to live with daddy

"People are still making bets." Manager Jeong releases a weak sigh when she looks at the tabloid news on her phone. In the last three years, Kang Si An had too many near-death experiences. He got into an accident. He nearly killed himself while sitting in front of Kwon Kyuri's house just after his surgeries. He jumped from a building to kill himself. He poisoned himself. He got stabbed by his ex. Even she's surprised that he's still alive.

Kang Si An has heard of it, but he couldn't care less. He has stopped trying to use the popularity to send any messages. He hasn't visited her home since then. He's hoping that she's doing fine. Living mechanically every day, he aches every moment to see her once more. She won't forgive him. She just won't. At least, she's living a happy life.

"I am relieved to see that you are moving on." Manager Jeong has been visiting him regularly. The kid is like her younger brother. "You are only 24. There is so much in the world to experience and see. You will find love again. I am sure of it."

No, he won't. It's only been her. Ki Mi Ran, Wu Qiuyue, Wu Xiuying, and all the other women are nothing compared to her. Why did he forget her? Why did he make the same mistake that he made when he was Li Jun? Is it because he didn't meet her? No, he slept with Ki Mi Ran even after meeting her in this lifetime. His stupid heart couldn't recognize the woman his soul wanted to be with. He didn't want to waver because Ki Mi Ran was already pregnant with his child.

The child is gone. She is also gone. There is nothing left in his life.

She came to him despite everything that he did. He hurt her. He failed her.

In the previous lifetimes, she left him because of the timekeeper. He knew that she loved him back. In this lifetime, she left him on her will and she doesn't love him back anymore.

This is her punishment. It's worse than anything that he experienced. He has to bear it.

"I want to see her again," He mumbles to himself hopelessly. Maybe, the gods will pity him. Maybe, a miracle will occur. Maybe, she will forgive him.

[Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the S City Airpot.]

"We are back home." Manager Jeong didn't hear his mumbles. They had to stay in a foreign country for shooting some scenes for the new drama. "You already have work. Why did you sign so many dramas? Do you want to overwork yourself and me to death?"

He looks out of the window. It's dark outside. He looks out of the window. It's dark outside. He's busy when he is working. At night, he relies on alcohol to numb his aching soul. This city doesn't feel like his home anymore. Three years ago, he lost his home

"Little Hae, stand here," Her mommy tells her with a warning tone. "I need to get our luggage. Don't move from this spot."

Little Hae nods and watches her mother go toward the moving luggage. She looks around. There are not many people at this time of the night. Her sleepiness is gone when she sees her daddy's face. She sprints toward him, squealing with glee. She stumbles on her foot and falls on her face. Her eyes fill with tears and she sniffles because of the pain. Her daddy notices her and comes toward her.

"Little girl." He has pretty green eyes. "Where are you hurt? Let me see."

He helps her stand up and takes a look at the wounds on her knees. Her daddy bends his head and blows air on her wounds.

"Kang Si An, we are late." Manager Jeong yawns. "Let the airport staff handles this."

"It's okay, Manager Jeong. We will help her find her parents."

"Daddy, don't go." Little Hae grabs him by his ears. "Stay."

Rather, she loves his beautiful face.

"Kang Si An, why is she calling you her daddy?" Manager Jeong is alert. "Don't tell me... you have a secret daughter."

"I think that her father looks like me." Kang Si An smiles at the girl. He doesn't know why his heart feels an inexplicable joy when she calls him daddy. The girl has green eyes, just like him. If he ever had a daughter, she might have looked like her. "Love, what's your name?"

"Little Hae is also Kwon Hae." She tells him with excitement, "Mommy and Little Hae came to live with daddy."

That name is... Is this a coincidence? Isn't Kyuri's daughter is also...

"Little Hae!"

That voice. When he looks up and sees her running toward him, he feels an electric jolt through his body. He widens his eyes, taking her image in. It's been three years. She hasn't changed one bit. She looks at him with shock. Her face turns pale. Her eyes fall on the little girl in front of him.

Feeling like a dead man coming back to life, he stares at the little girl tugging his ears. The girl has a wide grin on her face. He gasps when the realization hits him.

Kyuri snatches her away before he could react. "Little Hae, didn't I tell you that you have only one father? He is waiting for us."

Without another word, she turns around to leave. He grabs her arm to stop her. "Kyuri."

"Mister, I don't like being touched by a stranger." She is holding Little Hae with both of her arms. It takes all of her efforts to keep the notorious wiggling girl still in her arms. She can't push him right away. "Let go of me before I scream."

Some people have noticed them. Manager Jeong realizes that the girl is Kwon Kyuri. She observes that the girl's face in her arms has a 99% similarity to Kang Si An. No DNA test is needed. Kang Si An is also shocked. So, he must not have known about the child. Putting 2 and 2 together, she gets the situation.

"Kyuri, is she my..." Kang Si An is breathless. He already knows the answer. "Why did you not tell me about her?"

Kyuri blinks her eyes at him. "Stranger, I don't know what you are talking about. Let go of my arm right now."

She has had enough. She uses her one arm to support the little girl and jerks his hand off her. Before she could run away, Little Hae climbs up on her mother's shoulder like a little monkey and jumps in Kang Si An's direction.
