The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife | Book 3

415.You Don't Believe Me

What a piece of trash. She wouldn't stop crying. A hint of impatience flashed across Chanyeol's eyes. He patted Yeri's head gently and said, "Silly girl, how can you take it seriously when he said that in a fight? If you believe me, then do as I say. You can..." He whispered a few words into Yeri's ear.

After listening to him, Yeri's eyes flashed with hesitation and struggle. "Hmm... Is this okay? What if he marries Krystal?"

"Then Sehun is not worthy of your love." Chanyeol kissed Yeri's hair and said softly, "I'll be here for you. Don't be afraid. Don't you believe me?"

Yeri looked at Chanyeol with eyes full of trust. "Of course I trust you." Other than Chanyeol, who else could she trust?

Chanyeol smiled while his eyes darkened. He hugged Yeri and said gently, "Good girl."

!!

Half an hour later, Chanyeol walked out of the private room. He looked at the tea stains on his pants and frowned imperceptibly. Then, he entered another private room. Beside the window of the room sat a skinny girl. Her body was as thin as a piece of paper. The sound of the door did not attract her attention at all. Her eyes were fixed on the outside as if she was in a daze.

"Sooyoung." Chanyeol stood behind Joy. His voice was gentle but he was like a poisonous snake. "What are you looking at?"

"You've been gone for a long time." Joy had lost a lot of weight. She was so thin that she seemed to be out of shape. She had a rough voice too. This once beautiful girl was now so skinny. She smirked with a hint of sarcasm and madness. "Is the restroom that far?"

"I met a friend, so I stayed a little longer." Chanyeol was used to her questioning. He smiled and leaned over to kiss Joy's cheek. He said gently, "Sooyoung, are you jealous? I'm so happy." As he said that, he hugged Joy in his arms and apologized gently, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone and made you wait for so long. I won't do this next time, okay?"

Mrs. Park who was sitting at the side saw Chanyeol's patience and deep affection. She went teary as she said, "Chanyeol, thank you for your patience to take care of Sooyoung. You're too kind. You care for Sooyoung even more than I do." Ever since Joy survived jumping off a building last time, she seemed to have all her energy drained. She became quiet and refused to eat. She lost her glow and her temper was getting worse. Her mother did not know what to do and cried a few times because of this. However, Chanyeol's attitude remained the same. He was patient, meticulous, and gentle towards Joy who had a big temper and rarely spoke.

Joy's father could not help but sigh. He waved at Chanyeol and the others. "The food is getting cold. Come and eat first. Chanyeol, Sooyoung is not sensible. Please bear with her." The best thing that the couple had done was to get Chanyeol and Joy engaged. With that, Joy was not abandoned under such circumstances.

Mrs. Park wiped her tears and muttered softly, "With Chanyeol around to take care of Sooyoung, I will be relieved even when I die later."

"Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chanyeol hurriedly said, "You have to live a long life. You will see us get married and have children. Moreover, Sooyoung is just unable to accept reality. She will recover soon."

Hearing Chanyeol's words, President Park and Madam Park were more satisfied. Madam Park smiled in relief. "Hey, come and eat. Don't just revolve around Sooyoung."

"No rush. I'll accompany Sooyoung more." Chanyeol shook his head. He hugged Joy and revealed a gentle smile. "Auntie, you don't have to feel sorry for me. Whether Sooyoung likes me or not after she recovers, it doesn't matter. I do all these out of my own will. Moreover, Uncle has helped me a lot in business. I can't thank you enough. It's only right for me to do what I can."

Knowing that Chanyeol said this to make them feel at ease, Mrs. Park felt bitter. "You are... really..."

"We are a family. Don't mention that." President Park had always been serious. However, he couldn't help but soften his expression now. He said, "Chanyeol, don't worry. I only acknowledge you as my son-in-law. No one can change that."
