Hidden Wife : Best Husband

Chapter 238 - 238 - What Happened To Aeri?

The ringing alarm woke Dae Hyun from his deep sleep. With eyes closed, his hands fumbled around the bed because he thought he was still in the Pyeongchang-dong villa with Soo Yin.

 "Honey, what time is it?" Dae Hyun asked as he grabbed a small hand above not far from his side.

 With his eyes still tightly closed, Dae Hyun thought Soo Yin's hand was not that small so he hurriedly opened his eyes.

 Two small shining eyes were staring into his eyes at this time. Dae Hyun blinked over and over at the pair of balls that were brightly colored and were so adorable.

 "Yeon Ho?" Dae Hyun said while rubbing his eyes. He was still trying to digest it because he thought he was still in the villa.

 "Why are you sleeping in here alone?" Jo Yeon Ho asked.

 Dae Hyun immediately sat up and then leaned on the side of the bed. He started to remember that last night it turned out he went back to UN Village. Fortunately, he didn't mention Soo Yin's name.

 "Father ... I fell asleep last night while looking for you but you weren't here," Dae Hyun said nervously.

 "I slept with mom last night. Why didn't you sleep with us?" Jo Yeon Ho said with a disappointed face.

"I overslept and even though I was going to be there in a moment." Dae Hyun stroked Jo Yeon Ho's hair. There was a feeling of guilt seeing Jo Yeon Ho like that. Since there was a problem with Aeri, he neglected his only son.

"Although I've been waiting for father since the afternoon," said Jo Yeon Ho as he pursed his lips.

"I'm really sorry." Dae Hyun held Jo Yeon Ho in his arms very tightly. Tried not to upset and disappoint him. Because his selfishness who didn't want to sacrifice a little of his feelings for his son. Even though Soo Yin also often reminded him to pay more attention to Jo Yeon Ho.

 "When are we going for a trip? Didn't father promise to take me and mom to Japan again?" Jo Yeon Ho asked while looking up.

Dae Hyun sighed softly. Now he even forgot his promise to invite Jo Yeon Ho to vacation.

 "Your mother is pregnant so she can't go anywhere." Dae Hyun said while holding his son's shoulder. Tried to gave him understanding because maybe he can't even grant his wish.

 Someday Dae Hyun will indeed take him to Japan but with Soo Yin instead of Aeri. It was impossible to go on vacation when the conditions were not possible.

"Is it not allowed?" Jo Yeon Ho asked with an innocent face.

"Of course not. Let's take a shower first because soon father has to go to work," Dae Hyun asked then carried Jo Yeon Ho's small body into the bathroom.

For a long time not paying attention to him, this time Dae Hyun helped Jo Yeon Ho to take a shower. Helped to rub his body with soap. They played in the tub for a long time. Jo Yeon Ho was also very happy to be able to bathe with his father.

After changing Jo Yeon Ho's clothes, finally Dae Hyun asked him to accompany him to the room. Hopefully Aeri wasn't in the room so there's no need to argue or meet her.

Just as Dae Hyun opened the door, it turned out that there was already Mrs. Park who seemed to be going into Jo Yeon Ho's room.

 "Dae Hyun?" Mrs. Park said while narrowing her eyes.

"Finally you remember the way back to this house," said Mrs. Park, while glancing at his son.

 Dae Hyun chose silence rather than fight with his mother. Didn't want to let him to say inappropriate words that will only hurt his mother's feelings.

 "Mother, I'll change my clothes first," Dae Hyun said, immediately took Jo Yeon Ho's hand into the room.

"That boy …." Mrs. Park held her chest which felt a little tight thinking about his son's household which was on the verge of collapse. Whom should she side with now? Because both parties defended themselves.

When he entered the room, the room looked quiet. Dae Hyun thought that Aeri wasn't there, but faintly heard the sound of someone vomiting.

Jo Yeon Ho immediately ran towards the bathroom door then put his little ear on it.

 "Father, what happened with mother inside?" the boy asked.

 "Maybe your mom just has a stomachache," Dae Hyun said with a flat expression.

 Hearing Aeri's non-stop vomiting made Dae Hyun feel sorry. No matter how much he hated Aeri, they have lived together for so long that Dae Hyun still had a conscience.

Dae Hyun, who initially wanted to be indifferent, with heavy steps approached his son.

 Knock ... knock ... knock ....

 Dae Hyun let out a long sigh before finally venturing out to knock on the door. Hopefully Aeri didn't misunderstand this.

"Aeri, are you okay?" Dae Hyun asked in a slightly screaming voice.

Aeri, who was washing her mouth with water, seemed to dream of hearing Dae Hyun's voice. Repeatedly fixing her face in the mirror, whilst slapping her own cheeks. Afraid it won't be real.

 An oblique smile appeared on Aeri's lips. She had expected that Dae Hyun would still love her. If not, how could he care about her. Without answering him, Aeri returned to pretending to be nauseous again with a louder voice as she coughed.

 "Aeri, what's wrong with you?" Dae Hyun shouted once again with a louder knock on the door.

Dae Hyun pretended to be concerned because he remembered Doctor Kang's message to take Aeri to have her womb checked. If he was ignorant then Aeri would be suspicious if suddenly he was so attentive. Better just tried to play nice now.

 Dae Hyun needed evidence to address to his family. So that his mother would not be consumed by Aeri's words anymore, who was very clever with her tongue.

 Aeri opened the bathroom door with a haggard and pale face. She pretended to wobble until her body almost fell if only Dae Hyun didn't support her weight.
