<h4>Chapter 229: LITTLE HEIRESS</h4>


    <i>OH, those earrings will definitely suit Garam.</i>


    Song Sihyuk pointed at therge link earrings in Sterling Silver.


    Then he pointed at the matching bracelet, ne, and ring.


    Of course, he had to get the whole set.


    "Wrap everything nicely."


    The sales associate bowed politely. "Yes, Chairman Song."


    "Silver?" Song Sua, who followed Song Sihyuk and Seulgi to the jewelry store, asked. "Garam is really more interested in silver than gold, huh? But maybe you should still buy your wife gold. You know, for investment."


    "Why would I buy my wife something he wouldn’t wear? Garam likes silver, and he said gold doesn’t suit him, so he never even nces at any gold jewelry pieces," Song Sihyuk said, scoffing at Song Sua’s suggestion. "As for investing in it, well, my wife doesn’t want us to get richer than we already are. If you want to invest in gold, then go for it."


    "Then how about our little princess? Maybe gold suits her."


    Song Sihyuk then looked down at Seulgi.


    The toddler was ying with her dolls in the baby stroller, and the baby stroller was being pushed by Jung Han.


    Yeah, he didn’t bring a nanny because there was no nanny.


    Ever since Song Gunwoo was kidnapped by his former nanny, he had never trusted anyone else again.


    And Lim Garam wanted to be a hands-on dad anyway.


    "I know. I’m nning to buy jewelry for Seulgi anyway," Song Sihyuk said. Song Gunwoo wasn’t interested in jewelry, so he’d just get his son a new watch. "Why are you still following me, Song Sua? I’m not buying you anything."


    "I’m not going to ask you to buy me anything," Song Sua said, rolling her eyes. "I just realized something while observing you and Seulgi all this time, Sihyuk-ah."


    "What?"


    "Your family can be the new models of our department store."


    Song Sihyuk grimaced at the idea.


    He struggled when Lim Garam was a famous idol because he was loved by many fans, and he was still struggling when Lim Garam returned as a soloist. After all, he didn’t like it when people approached them when they were out, asking his wife for pictures and autographs.


    But Song Sua wanted his whole family in a campaign for their department store?


    "Fat chance," Song Sihyuk said while shaking his head. "I know Ilsung Group’s department store beat our department storest quarter, but I still won’t let you use my family to solve the problem. If you want to beat yourpetitor, do it on your own."


    Song Sua clicked her tongue. "I’m still going to pitch my idea to Garam."


    <strong>***</strong>


    <i>OH, gold definitely suits Seulgi.</i>


    Song Sihyuk was satisfied while looking at the gold chain around the baby’s wrist.


    But he realized that he also liked the gold bangle and the bracelet with thicker chains that the toddler tried earlier.


    <i>I also want to get her a pair of earrings, but I need Garam’s permission first.</i>


    After all, Seulgi’s ears weren’t pierced yet.


    "Not Daddy," Seulgi called Song Sihyuk while holding her bracelet. "Seulgi likes this! It’s shiny!"


    Pfft.


    "Are you a crow that likes shiny things?" Song Sihyuk asked,ughing softly. But his smile immediately disappeared when he faced the sales associate assisting him. "I’ll get everything the baby tried earlier."


    <strong>***</strong>


    "NOT DADDY, Seulgi is sleepy."


    Aigooya.


    <i>How spoiled.</i>


    That was what Song Sihyuk thought, but he still carried Seulgi in his arms as carefully as possible.


    Thankfully, they were already in the car when the baby acted spoiled.


    "You must be sleepy," Song Sihyuk said while gently patting Seulgi’s back. "Go and sleep now."


    Seulgi just mumbled incoherently, already in dreand.


    Aigooya.


    <i>She fell asleep like that.</i>


    "Drive slowly, Jung Han."


    "Yes, sir," Jung Han, his aide who was driving the car, answered politely. "The youngdy really has guts, Chairman Song. Most kids cry when they see you. But the youngdy clings to you fearlessly."


    "I know, right?" Song Sihyuk agreed, smirking. "It’s as if this little girl is meant to be a part of our family..."


    Oh.


    <i>Oh.</i>


    Song Sihyuk was hit by the realization at that moment.


    <i>I don’t hate the idea of adopting Seulgi anymore...?</i>


    <strong>***</strong>


    AIGOOYA.


    Garam could only sigh and shake his head when he saw the helpers holding several bags from different luxury brandse in.


    <i>Hyung splurged again.</i>


    Then Song Sihyuk finally entered the mansion...


    ... holding the sleeping Seulgi in his arms carefully.


    Aww.


    Garam’s heart melted at the scene.


    "Why are you already up, honey?" Song Sihyuk asked worriedly. "Are you feeling better now?"


    "Yes, Hyung. My fever is already gone," Garam said, looking back and forth between Song Sihyuk and Seulgi. At this point, he couldn’t help but smile. "Seulgi must have been tired. What else did you do after her hair salon appointment?"


    "We had lunch, and then we went on a shopping spree," Song Sihyuk said, smiling. "Garam-ah, our Seulgi likes gold."


    <i>’<strong>Our</strong>’ Seulgi?</i>


    Aww.


    "Hyung, tell me more about it," Garam said, clinging to Song Sihyuk’s arm while admiring Seulgi’s angelic, sleeping face. "It seems like you and Seulgi have gotten close while I wasn’t looking."


    <strong>***</strong>


    GARAM was upset.


    He started his day adorning Seulgi with the gold jewelry pieces that Song Sihyuk brought for their daughter. They were even discussing whether to have the baby’s ears pierced or wait for at least a few more years.


    But while they were having breakfast, Song Gunwoo broke the news that spoiled their son’s mood.


    "Dad, Daddy, an article is posted about our family," Song Gunwoo said, frowning. "<i>Daily Scoop</i> posted an article iming that Daddy has an illegitimate daughter. They even posted a picture of Daddy’s date with Seulgi yesterday."


    Their son then showed them hisputer tablet, showing the article that he mentioned.


    A huge picture of Song Sihyuk holding Seulgi in his arms was also attached to the article.


    "Thankfully, they blurred Seulgi’s picture," Song Gunwoo said, still visibly upset. Then their son looked at Song Sihyuk. "Daddy, howe this article was published without our knowledge?"


    "That’s what we’re about to find out, son," Song Sihyuk said, clenching his jaw tight. Then he got up from his seat while looking at Garam, who was silently feeding Seulgi. "Finish your breakfast— I’ll take care of everything."


    "Yes, Hyung," Garam said, nodding. Yes, he was upset. But knowing that Song Sihyuk and Song Gunwoo were just as upset as he was made him feel better. He could entrust everything to his beloved Alphas. "And please release an official statement as soon as possible."
