How to Have a Baby Secretly-Chapter 79

It had seemed like there was still more than half left when they first ate it!

Sunwoo, feeling a little embarrassed, rubbed the back of his neck with his cold palm.

"Uh, well..."

Actually, this had been happening a lot lately. Every time Kang Jinwook left work, he would call and ask if Sunwoo wanted anything to eat.

Now that his morning sickness had eased, his appetite had exploded, and sweets kept calling to him.

Sunwoo wasn’t someone who usually cared much about food. After all, isn’t that typical for an adult who lives alone?

Especially for a busy office worker, having a quick meal like ramen with a can of beer after work was something Sunwoo had always considered normal.

His gaze shifted back to the TV. This time, it wasn’t tteokbokki. He saw freshly steamed sundae and dumplings, their steam rising gently from a steamer.

Just then, a celebrity, appearing on a food variety show, skewered a piece of sundae with a toothpick and brought it to their mouth.

You like strawberry flavor, right? I’ll get some similar ones and bring them.

Kang Jinwook, who had been taking care of Sunwoo's food choices, explained thoughtfully, knowing exactly what Sunwoo liked.

The celebrity took another piece of sundae, praising how chewy and delicious it was. Sunwoo’s mouth watered as he saw the celebrity savoring the food.

"Sundae, tteokbokki, and dumplings."

Sunwoo, who had been watching the show almost hypnotized, muttered without thinking. There was a brief silence on the phone. But as Sunwoo continued watching the food show, he didn’t notice.

...Do you want some snacks?

After a moment, Kang Jinwook finally responded, his voice revealing he had figured it out. The call ended, and Sunwoo didn’t realize it for a while.

Then Butler Baek’s phone rang, and he reported to Kang Jinwook, telling him that Sunwoo was watching TV and watching a food-related program, but not mentioning that Sunwoo had been watching and drooling over the show.

Sunwoo, oblivious to the report, simply continued to relish the sweetness lingering in his mouth, finishing off the large ice cream tub. Sweetness remained on his tongue, and in his mind, the image of red tteokbokki, hot dumplings, and sundae swirled around.

Soon, Kang Jinwook returned. He was holding two black bags that didn’t seem to match his usual style.

Sunwoo couldn’t take his eyes off those bags. A delicious scent was coming from them. Normally, he would have noticed Kang Jinwook’s pheromones first, but this time, he couldn’t pay attention to anything else.

"You really wanted to eat, huh?"

Kang Jinwook said, watching Sunwoo, who couldn’t take his eyes off the bags, like a child eyeing their food. There was a slight smile in his voice.

The once-impassive Kang Jinwook had softened and smiled more frequently, and Butler Baek was watching this change with a pleased expression before stepping forward.

"Executive Director, please give them to me."

Kang Jinwook, who had just returned home, was still in his suit. Butler Baek decided to let him change and freshen up while Sunwoo moved to the dining room to wait.

Without acknowledging Butler Baek, Kang Jinwook passed by him. This was a common occurrence, so Butler Baek didn’t change his expression.

However, when Kang Jinwook grabbed Sunwoo’s hand and pulled him towards the dining room, Butler Baek couldn’t help but pause and stop walking.

In fact, this had become less of an unusual event, but it was still noticeable—Kang Jinwook’s change was becoming more and more evident.

Sunwoo, who had adapted to Kang Jinwook’s behavior, followed without feeling awkward. Or rather, he seemed more entranced by the delicious smell, too distracted by the bags to realize the situation.

‘It’s nice to see.’

After all, the warm, almost pink atmosphere that filled the house was a truly good thing. For Kang Jinwook, who had lived alone in loneliness after his mother passed away, having someone to share the space with was the most special change.

While Butler Baek watched the two of them with a satisfied expression, not realizing they were being watched, Kang Jinwook led Sunwoo to the dining room.

"Sit here."

Kang Jinwook pulled out a chair, made space, and sat Sunwoo down. Then, he quickly began unpacking the contents of the bags in front of Sunwoo.

In addition to the tteokbokki, sundae, and dumplings Sunwoo had mentioned, there were also crispy fried foods, golden and glistening.

"Wow..."

Sunwoo couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. It wasn’t just the smell; it looked incredibly delicious too. Kang Jinwook smiled at the sight of Sunwoo enjoying the food like a child.

"I brought utensils."

Meanwhile, Butler Baek returned from the kitchen and placed spoons and chopsticks in front of both Sunwoo and Kang Jinwook.

Sunwoo eagerly grabbed the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fried food, which had a savory aroma. It was sweet potato fries, flat and round in shape.

Crunch.

The hot oil sizzled as the fried food broke apart in his mouth. Sunwoo widened his eyes, savoring the taste as he chewed.

He didn’t even notice that Kang Jinwook was watching him. Sunwoo continued to eat eagerly, grabbing spicy-sweet tteokbokki, chewy sundae, and steaming dumplings.

Having gone without proper food for several weeks, Sunwoo seemed to be trying to make up for it, eating eagerly while Kang Jinwook watched him fondly.

"It really happened, huh. He really manifested as an Omega."

Kang Jin-tae scowled, throwing the papers he was holding on the desk. His assistant lowered his gaze, sensing the displeasure in his superior’s posture.

The paper thrown onto the desk was the test result Kang Jin-tae had stolen from the hospital today after several failed attempts to get it.

"I had a feeling. I wondered why he suddenly quit his job and went to Jeju," Kang Jin-tae muttered.

Up until now, he hadn’t paid much attention to Choi Sunwoo’s affairs. He thought nothing would change anyway.

So, he didn’t know. That Sunwoo had fainted at the company, been hospitalized for a few days, and then quit after being discharged, only to go to Jeju.

"I’d heard of adult manifestations..."

But he never expected Sunwoo to manifest so late. Normally, manifestations happened in adolescence. In rare cases, they could occur before ten, but usually, it became apparent when secondary sexual characteristics started showing.

It wasn’t unheard of for manifestations to happen later in life, but it was unusual. Moreover, Sunwoo’s manifestation wasn’t even complete—he was a recessive Omega, not dominant.

Kang Jin-tae tapped the desk in frustration. Should he inform his father right away, or wait a little longer? He wasn’t sure.

Initially, the reason he had gotten involved with Sunwoo was because he was a Beta. Chairman Kang had never considered Sunwoo a match for Kang Jinwook.

He was simply a tool to bring in what they wanted, using the engagement as a means to an end. Once this year’s goal was achieved, they had planned to dissolve the engagement, but now an unexpected variable had emerged.

"No, wait. Maybe this is good."

Kang Jin-tae’s eyes gleamed. He wasn’t sure how his father would react, but Kang Jin-tae had a different take. This could be an opportunity.

Grinning, Kang Jin-tae reached for an envelope beside him. He opened it and pulled out several photos along with documents.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

The photos showed Im Haewon’s movements in detail.

"He’s been following him closely. He must have been really taken with him."

"There are rumors in the company about the relationship between Im Haewon and Executive Director Kang Jinwook," the assistant responded.

"Is that so? Then we should make a move. Time to stoke the fire," Kang Jin-tae replied, his voice now cold.

It seemed like it was time to let his father know.

Kang Jin-tae smiled at the fact that he knew something his father didn’t and, feeling exhilarated, dialed his father’s number.

"Father, did you hear about Sunwoo?"

His voice revealed the joy he couldn’t conceal.

I heard that Sunwoo is with Jinwook. It’s already been over two months, hasn’t it?

Kang Jin-tae felt a rush of excitement. His father knew less than he did! But when it came to his own interests, his father was always sensitive.

He smiled, knowing he was the one with more information this time.

"I learned something new today."

Something new?

Kang Jin-tae's father didn’t seem to expect anything of significance. Kang Jin-tae’s mood soured quickly.

He knew that, despite his father’s affection for him, in business, he trusted Kang Jinwook more than he trusted him.

But each time his father didn’t acknowledge it, Kang Jin-tae felt frustrated. This time, however, his father would be surprised.

"Sunwoo manifested as an Omega."

What?

Through the phone, Kang Jin-tae’s father’s voice echoed with shock.
