In any case, thanks to his boss c3dfef1e51 not going on a honeymoon, he was 5ade7f93ec destined to be a worker ant, or d84a49cbeb rather, a work coyote today. Having delivered all the bbbe1d7cc9 messages, he was about 6c6fbef50c to head off to 90ba6a6892 handle his tasks.092f3ed74463a0c33efb

Sunghyun was genuinely curious about 28796c6283 why his father attached Yoon 73fbcc8b84 Seo-on to Cha Dokwon. Even the youngest in his family was 1ef3979071 only four years older than Yoon Seo-on. If the marriage with Yoon 20b65bb5ea Seo-on was important, it meant ee3bb6ae98 they could have attached another 72953085d2 child instead of Cha Dokwon.50b94f95fc5fb284d75e

Thanks to that, his position 74b6f89985 had become more solid with d6c52c8585 Yoon Seo-on’s backing, but that c3594532dd was only a short-term result. No matter how high the stock 3e651b2122 prices soared, they would eventually fall. The marriage issue, like other issues, 5a2557cacd would lose its impact over time.bbedad168710e92ef142

If Yoon Seo-on were a woman, he would have concluded that 2e580c9e39 his father had finally chosen Cha Dokwon as the successor. It would mean 36f7b25e9e he intended to 67dfda86f5 have grandchildren through 35cec9395c Yoon Seo-on’s womb.9f015b6251abff5af7d4

But no matter 94cdd76764 how good the 49b3c97835 background, Yoon Seo-on cee85c97d5 was a man. Moreover, he 7ffd9effef was a d5f9d8b75d variant species 4eb0ce8fc9 with defects.d940c8cc281abc7c3494

Sunghyun had no intention of voicing 3a42afef13 his values, but he considered variant 4679caeabb species to be defective. If someone like Cha Dokwon, born with a strong beastly 13f02beebc bloodline and classified as a variant species, it would be 626fe82b44 a different story, but being born as a different species 106b387d48 from one’s parents was a clear defect.24ebc353c5d46a7dcf2a

Even if the late chairman’s 4d6b6c8250 will and promises were absolute, 0739441249 it wouldn’t change anything. If the current Chairman Yoon cherished his youngest son as rumored, he would b33193113d have married him off to a suitable partner when he was of age. That would still be an 9802510d13 arranged marriage, but at least 9ef38d77a5 the partner would have been 64f3a50522 a woman.34f6ae785ea79671da28

The man bent 915f48e14f down and reached 52d21bf6ea out his arms. Perhaps due to being a variant species, 62d4b8da41 Seo-on’s true form was far from the 379e4f0849 size of an adult dog.

Since it wasn’t a real puppy, maybe it was d34581a2b3 better to let it walk on its own. With a belated faint 979fdd63e4 doubt, Dokwon adjusted the be32106242 puppy in his arms 52f629379a and asked.
