Epilogue Chapter 2: Father (2)
Three fruits of love bloomed between Kang-Woo and his three wives. The first-born son Oh Kang-Hyun was between him and Cha Yeon-Joo, the second-born daughter Oh Kang-Hee was between him and Han Seol-Ah, and the youngest daughter Lilia was between him and Lilith.
After a discussion with his three wives, Kang-Woo taught his children to address all three women as their mothers regardless of who gave birth to them. It was so that the children wouldn’t fight or feel alienated by the fact that they were born from different mothers. Because of that, his three wives raised the three children as if they were all their own.
“The other kids say they have only one Mommy… So why do I have three?”
“...”
However, Kang-Woo had not expected the seed he had sown in his children’s minds for peace in the household to come back to strangle him in this way. He had not been asked this question by Kang-Hyun as he was going through his first year of elementary school so Kang-Woo had not ever thought about it.
“Uhhh… s-so… the thing is…”
Kang-Woo’s mouth felt as dry as a desert. Although he possessed enough authority and power to not give a shit about how society viewed him, he couldn’t bring himself to confidently tell his eight-year-old daughter the reason why he had three wives.
‘Eve.’
Kang-Woo sent an emergency SOS to Eve, stumped on an answer.
