The Omega Is Pregnant-Chapter 56

As soon as Han Mi-sun sat down, Seo Eun-hee pressed her, asking sharply.

“Sister-in-law, you made a seat arrangement for me without even telling me. How could you do that?”

“It’s an important matter, so I thought I’d come and tell you directly.”

Han Mi-sun smiled nonchalantly and placed her handbag beside her. In that short span of time, her words reached Seo Eun-hee’s ears, but Han Mi-sun acted as if it were no big deal. She had deliberately called them to a hotel café where many people, including Kang Se-heon and Jung Hae-jin, passed through. She wanted others to see and gossip about it.

“You should have seen the two of them together. They look perfect for each other. My judgment was spot on.”

Han Mi-sun continued, describing the two she had just seen, as she settled into her seat. Meanwhile, Seo Eun-hee, before speaking to her, felt somewhat awkward at the actions Han Mi-sun had deliberately set up. She had been acting overly insistent on finding a match for her son, but now, it seemed she had really gone too far.

“Next time, you don’t have to go that far.”

“Oh? Do you still believe Se-heon will find someone on his own? You’re just going to wait?”

Han Mi-sun, sipping the coffee that had been brought to her, widened her eyes in surprise at the question. From her expression, it almost seemed like she thought Seo Eun-hee had no interest at all in her son’s future.

“By the time you wait, it’ll be too late. How long will Se-heon stay young? He should find a partner as soon as possible.”

“Hah... Sister-in-law, I’m telling you, Se-heon will figure it out on his own.”

“You’re so relaxed about it.”

Han Mi-sun shook her head with a laugh.

“Se-heon, and In-hyuk too, it’s better to decide early. These days, the issues with pheromones are serious. Just imagine how deadly an Omega’s pheromones are to an Alpha. What would happen if some undeserving Omega gets involved with our precious boys? If the world were simply divided into men and women, we wouldn’t have to worry about these things.”

Han Mi-sun exaggeratedly shuddered at the mention of pheromones before suddenly changing her expression.

“I’m saying this, but I’m at ease because I’ve already decided who In-hyuk’s match will be. That kid is so sweet and so well-behaved. It’s reassuring to have already picked out a good match for him. You don’t understand, do you?”

“In-hyuk is lucky.”

Seo Eun-hee’s question about why Se-heon hadn’t been set up for a date was suddenly diverted to In-hyuk. However, Han Mi-sun smoothly shifted the conversation again, as if nothing had changed.

“That’s why Se-heon is really behind. We need to find him a match quickly. So, I brought Hae-jin’s name to the table. Who else could be as great as Hae-jin these days? She’s knowledgeable, calm, and just perfect.”

It was almost laughable that Han Mi-sun was the one saying this instead of Seo Eun-hee. But Han Mi-sun spoke with such confidence, as if it was perfectly normal to praise Jung Hae-jin this way. In fact, she had already started pushing for both Se-heon and In-hyuk’s marriages in her mind.

Listening to Han Mi-sun’s words, Seo Eun-hee couldn’t hold back a sigh. This had gone on long enough; she couldn’t just sit here and listen any longer.

“I appreciate that you’re thinking of Se-heon. But really, you don’t have to go this far. Actually, Se-heon already introduced me to his partner.”

“Who? Se-heon has a partner?”

Han Mi-sun asked in confusion, her face filled with surprise, and Seo Eun-hee nodded solemnly. It seemed like she was finally revealing something she couldn’t avoid talking about. She turned her face away from Han Mi-sun’s gaze, clearly heavy-hearted.

At that moment, Han Mi-sun exhaled a short, stunned breath, realizing she had heard it correctly.

“What? Why didn’t you tell me about this?”

“I wanted to tell you in person.”

Seo Eun-hee answered as she looked at her hands. She had met Tae-seo recently, and it was her father-in-law who had shared the news with Han Mi-sun. # Nоvеlight # She regretted staying quiet about it when she should have spoken up.

“You said he would figure it out on his own, but it seems he already has.”

Han Mi-sun was upset that Seo Eun-hee hadn’t mentioned it earlier, but her anger toward Kang Se-heon’s sly behavior was even stronger. He should have just said if there was someone, instead of pretending there wasn’t anyone while claiming to handle everything himself.

“So, who’s the person he’s seeing? Are they any good?”

“Yeah, just like Se-heon said, the kid’s really lovable.”

Seo Eun-hee smiled faintly. It was a smile that came naturally from reminiscing, but to Han Mi-sun, it felt like she was showing off.

“And? Tell me more about this person.”

Han Mi-sun was more curious than ever, especially since she had been planning to pair Se-heon with Jung Hae-jin and promote In-hyuk’s match. She thought the person Se-heon had found should be even better than Tae-seo, but certainly not someone with a background as solid as his.

Seo Eun-hee pondered for a moment before answering.

“He looked like a Beta at first, tall and handsome, but as I observed him more, he seemed like an Omega. It was strange, but after a while, I could sense something Omega about him.”

She remembered it clearly. When Tae-seo first entered, she had noticed his height and assumed he was a Beta. His gender had been a surprise, but the idea of him being a Beta felt stronger at first. However, as time passed, she started sensing the Omega traits in him. Of course, the fact that she had asked if he was an Omega had only reinforced this perception.

“He’s a college student, so I asked Se-heon how they met, but other than that, I don’t know much else. Se-heon was in a rush and didn’t have much time to explain.”

Han Mi-sun glanced at Seo Eun-hee’s expression. She wasn’t sure if Seo Eun-hee was lying about not knowing much, but after seeing her face, Han Mi-sun decided to pull back. In any case, now that she knew Se-heon had a partner, the whole plan she’d worked for had unraveled.

As frustrating as it was, it was time to focus on learning more about this person’s background. Just as she was about to stand up and leave, Han Mi-sun paused.

He looked like a Beta, and a college student...

The words Seo Eun-hee had said kept running through her mind. Han Mi-sun suddenly remembered her earlier conversation with Seo Eun-hee. Back then, she had asked if she knew Tae-seo, and had even mentioned he was an Omega. Why had that memory surfaced now?

“Was the person Se-heon introduced you to the one he’s dating?”

“Yes. He said he’s dating Tae-seo.”

Seo Eun-hee nodded. Han Mi-sun’s shock was evident, but Seo Eun-hee didn’t seem to notice as she continued.

“Since In-hyuk knows him, I should’ve told you in advance, sister-in-law. Oh, by the way, who did you choose for In-hyuk’s partner?”

“......”

As Han Mi-sun swallowed her words, Seo Eun-hee shot her a questioning look. Han Mi-sun could sense that Seo Eun-hee was now wondering if she knew this person.

Could it be... Tae-seo?

Seo Eun-hee couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud.

****

“How... no, how could this happen?”

Han Mi-sun, walking out quickly as if to escape, paced back and forth, unable to calm the boiling anger inside her. Though she tried to compose herself, the more she tried, the redder her face became. Her emotions were out of control, and she couldn’t manage them the way she usually could.

The moment she heard from Seo Eun-hee that it was true, Han Mi-sun didn’t want to stay there any longer. She wanted to shout, asking why Kang Se-heon had called Yoon Tae-seo his lover, but she forced herself to leave instead.

“They’ve been playing with me. They’ve all been lying to me!”

In a fit of rage, Han Mi-sun threw her handbag onto the floor.

She had been trying to pair her son with Tae-seo to deal with Kang Se-heon, but now her son was involved with some other kid. The one she had wanted to keep in her arms, Tae-seo, had been taken away by Kang Se-heon. And not just any kid—he was now revealed to be an Omega. Han Mi-sun had lost him right before her eyes.

“What? Lovable? Ha, when did this all start?”

It must have been when she mentioned Tae-seo during their previous meeting, so they had probably been meeting even before that. Without realizing it, Han Mi-sun had introduced Jung Hae-jin to Se-heon and arranged meetings for them, only for things to unfold like this.

“How sneaky.”

Kang Se-heon must have known about the connection between Tae-seo and In-hyuk. He couldn’t have been unaware of it. But still, with such cunning, he had taken Tae-seo away right from under her nose.

“That greedy bastard must have been after Tae-seo’s background too.”

He had stolen Tae-seo from her to take over KH, leaving Han Mi-sun with nothing. Kang In-hyuk had made sure not to let her son find his place in the family. This should have been an insult to Han Mi-sun, but Kang Se-heon, the terrifying force behind it all, had cornered her and her family.

She couldn’t contain the rough breaths, and she placed her hot forehead in her hands, before her thoughts turned to Tae-seo.

Tae-seo had originally been her child. Along with In-hyuk, she had kept him close to her side, planning to eventually marry him off to In-hyuk. Even if they weren’t blood-related, she had meant to cherish him like her own child. But now, it was all falling apart.

She could understand being disappointed in In-hyuk. It was possible that he had strayed for a brief moment, and she could make sense of it if Tae-seo had done the same. But not with Kang Se-heon. And the fact that Tae-seo had even met her family—it wasn’t just a casual relationship. That was the moment her anger shifted to Tae-seo.

“You can’t do this to me, Tae-seo. I treated you like my own. How could you go to someone else?”

Even though many families had shown interest in her son, the betrayal she felt was greater because she had waited for Tae-seo to become an Omega.

Han Mi-sun smoothed her disheveled hair. She had just yelled and ranted in frustration, but she was the second daughter-in-law of KH. As she fixed herself, she also cleared her mind.

She would have to meet Tae-seo. And she would ask him if he had any intention of marrying her son, In-hyuk. If Tae-seo refused...

“I have no choice for In-hyuk’s sake. For our family’s sake, I’ll do whatever it takes. My son comes first, so you can’t blame me for this.”

Her eyes had become cold and steely.
