The Legend of Return
Chapter 249. In Hong Kong (1)
– Clara……
Daniel called her name without forgetting.
It was a low, soft voice, full of emotion.
Clara, who was listening, felt her heart race.
I tried to forget it, but I picked up the phone because of the sudden longing.
I erased the number and changed my cell phone, but the number that was remembered in my head was not erased.
Unknowingly, I picked up the phone with intense longing.
And that, in a few days from now, at the house of the man who will become her future husband.
It is an antique castle with a well-kept garden visible through the window.
The manor and castle of a male family that have been passed down from generation to generation.
The day when Clara will become the hostess of this place is not far off.
“Hey… how have you been?”
The words of regards came out through the throat.
– how have you been doing? What about Clara?
The man asked affectionately as always.
It’s the man’s reaction and voice that haven’t changed at all.
Even though the world has changed and she has experienced a free study abroad life, Clara remains sorry.
Giving up everything because of the old family history made me feel like a strange person.
Still, it was an inevitable choice because I loved my parents.
But it wasn’t finished.
Unlike when love begins, there must be an end.
Clara did not go through that process.
Even if it was my own feelings, it wasn’t polite to the other person.
“Me too… nothing special.”
There were so many great things that I couldn’t say.
I still couldn’t tell.
It wasn’t the kind of relationship where we could talk about each other now.
The end of the relationship blocked by the invisible wall was visible.
– thank god.
I could feel the man’s sincerity.
Although we were young, we did not feel the age difference from the beginning.
He always relied on the serious eyes hidden behind a light smile.
“Daniel…”
Clara suppressed her rising sadness and called the man’s name.
It was a name I couldn’t call anymore.
This moment was the last.
– huh?
“I… I think I’ll have to forget about Daniel.”
“…..okay.”
A painful parting ceremony took place.
The man accepted it calmly and quietly, as if he had guessed.
As much as the memories and time spent together were precious, the heart was conveyed as it was.
“Let’s not hate. I was really happy.”
– …..Me too. I had a beautiful time thanks to Clara.
The words were exchanged briefly, but the meaning was implied.
There were many memories that passed by while we were talking.
A date in Hong Kong on a rainy day, a summer vacation, a visit to Korea with my parents, etc.
All they did was hold hands and kiss, but it was Clara who felt the love hotter than any physical love.
A smile spread across Clara’s face at the man’s words.
Moist water wet his eyes silently.
It was fortunate.
I didn’t expect such a beautiful farewell, but it was more comfortable than I thought.
“I wish you well in your work. No matter when we meet again… After this time, we have to live as strangers even if we pass by again.”
It was an oath between families and families and large groups and groups.
Huge numbers of people could be killed or injured if the disturbance occurred.
Clara, who became the property of that oath, worried about the man until the end.
I just didn’t want to be harmed by her.
If that’s the case, then it was right to forget it like a stranger.
If my dad knew, he wouldn’t let me go.
Clara was well aware of her father’s disposition to act quickly and resolutely behind warnings.
So I never contacted them in Hong Kong.
That was the last consideration for the love he had for Daniel.
– …..Clara. It rains in Korea…… How is it there?
I felt the personality of a man full of romance until the end.
The pain of parting expressed in a roundabout way.
Todo Dok Todo Do Dok.
Raindrops came pouring in outside the window.
The sky, which had been clear a while ago, was covered with dark clouds as if it had never been.
“It’s raining here too…”
Holding up the receiver, Clara stared blankly out the window.
– Yes…… I’m fine…… I’m happy….. Always…
I felt a deep sadness in the man’s words that were dripping.
“Daniel too… yes…”
– Thank you… for contacting me.
Now is the time to say our final goodbyes.
“I’m sorry… and thank you.”
– I’m more sorry…… Clara.
The man’s voice became softer.
“……”
A moment of silence passed like eternity.
smart.
Then a knock was heard outside the door.
“Clara sister~”
It was her husband’s younger sister’s reserved voice.
“I have to hang up.”
– …..okay.
“Hello……”
Popped.
Clara ended the call with a short goodbye.
I wiped my wet eyes with my hand.
“Are you inside your sister?”
“huh? W I’m here.”
“Can I come in?”
“of course. Come on in.”
Clara quickly straightened out her facial expression and changed her face.
I had to live here now.
The past was sent afloat in the flowing river of memories.
The delayed parting ceremony was short but intense.
profit.
The door opened and a bright and beautiful woman entered.
“what’s the matter?”
“Hey~. what’s going on I came here because I suddenly missed you.”
She is the younger sister of the man who will become her husband who treats her kindly even though she has only known her for a few days.
“Welcome. sit down. Would you like some coffee?”
“Thank you for giving me.”
“wait a minute.”
“yes!”
Clara also relied on her a lot.
Life in the lonely castle was at least comforting.
“Sister, did I tell you?”
“what?”
“I invited the man I like to my sister’s Hong Kong wedding.”
“really? What kind of man are you?”
As the coffee was brewed, Clara chimed in as if nothing had happened.
“He is a good man. He’s reassuring when we’re together… he’s humorous, confident… and his smile is so charming.”
At the words of her falling in love, Clara smiled quietly.
So did the man of old memories she had just spoken on the phone with.
“I want to see you once. If Vivian is a man to the point of falling in love with her that much~”
“Let me introduce you. Maybe unnie will know at a glance that he’s a good guy~.”
Clara quietly smiles at Vivian, who is happy just by imagining it.
My heart ached, but I endured it without expressing it.
Clara knew all too well that the pain would go away with time.
‘He must go through a difficult road like me…’
Looking at Vivian in love, Clara felt the same pity.
The fate of never being able to love the person you fell in love with.
That was the thorny road that the descendants of the families who moved the world had to walk.

“Are you going to organize everything?”
“I will steal all but 100 billion.”
“why? You’re not just throwing it, are you?”
“No way~.”
“I… can’t get on the plane?”
Attorney Cho’s innocent worries made me laugh.
It’s closest to me, but I didn’t even know 1/100 of me yet.
“Don’t worry. I’m thinking of reducing my body size by paying attention here and there.”
“President Jang is really smart~. I was going to make a suggestion too.”
I called attorney Joe.
This guy, that guy, all sorts of things coveted my property.
The hyenas that smelled the money were infested earlier than planned.
There are not one or two people who use state institutions like their own private organizations.
Starting with the group, the eyes of the politicians are red.
It was like a pack of greedy hyenas.
It’s time to hide your prey from their eyes.
“Is the corporation established in your mother’s name?”
“I have now entered the government office. Permission will come soon.”
“Please include the names of professors at Hankuk University Law School. Attorney Cho should also be added to the list of outside directors. Also, please throw one at a time to celebrities who are clean and full of integrity.”
“thanks. Let’s put some strength on our shoulders this time.”
It’s a go-stop that squeezes and hits.
Preparations for school corporations and non-profit medical corporations are being completed.
I plan to organize the board of directors in a splendid way.
The more honest and splendid the selection team was, the better it was to prevent rogues here and there from messing with it.
After all, South Korea was a social network that everyone knew when crossing a bridge.
“Contact the president of Jungyong University. We will acquire it at the same time as the establishment of the corporation.”
“Anyway, I got a call this morning. When the economy plummeted, they seemed to be taken aback.”
“I have the sincerity to wait for you, so please don’t cut it.”
“So, what do you do with the extra money? Let’s just write.”
It seems that Attorney Cho has also become insensitive to money.
The person who was trembling at first now took the lead.
I like it.
The barrel had to be big, so it was helpful when doing big things later.
It didn’t help me to do a big job if I was desperate for small money like the women of the house.
“By the way, what’s wrong with CEO Jang?”
“yes?”
“I think my impression has changed several times lately. Looking at it now… it’s definitely different. Did you get a big realization? Aren’t you going to do good?”
It’s not to the extent of a ghost, but even lawyer Cho noticed it.
I’ve been drinking for a few days since my phone call with Clara.
It was because of the constant throbbing pain.
It wasn’t Yerin sunbaenim, but my true first love was Clara.
Senior Yerin’s betrayal was healed in just one day.
The only thing that took possession of me afterwards was anger.
But Clara’s afterimages haunted me for a long time.
The flashing memories were painful.
I remembered the words of an adult saying that life itself is suffering, not the way to gain it.
It was true that life itself was hard.
And now it has healed to some extent.
There was a lot of open work to be eroded by pain.
Because of me, the future of countless people is changing beyond imagining.
The responsibility was heavier than I thought.
I can’t sit down because of one person’s work.
The price of a life that had died once was strong and durable.
“Are you an adult soon? I want to become an adult.”
Prosecutor: The nobleman’s keen eye is fierce.
However, he is not my opponent who has lived and died once.
Attorney Jo, who was looking at me quietly, smacked his lips.
I looked around and found only dust.
“…..Really unfair.”
“What?”
“I haven’t been studying and living for a long time to have a conversation like this with a minor…”
Several people around me are feeling skeptical about their lives these days because of me.
More recently, math professors have been like that.
At the end of the debate, the math professors who stopped in a daze after not being able to solve the conundrum I brought up were the same as lawyer Cho now.
“A lot of other people do too. Don’t indulge in self-doubt. A private plane and a luxury vacation home abroad can’t be free, right?”
“…..yes? Still, seeing you as a human being is really hard.”
“Do a lot of good things in this life and live a better life in the next life.”
“done. where is the next life I just want to end this life.”
That’s what Attorney Joe said because he didn’t know.
I smiled.
He showed the composure of a person who had died once.
“What are you doing on the weekend?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Team Leader Yoo said you’ve been learning golf lately… how about a game?”
It smelled like a seasoned player aiming for beginners.
I know Lawyer Cho also plays golf.
“Would you like to bet on a private plane? If I lose, I’ll give you something big, and if the lawyer loses, please return the private plane ticket.”
“…..groan.”
When I hit the ball, Attorney Cho let out a pained sound and shut his mouth.
“I am busy this week.”
“Where?”
“I want to go to Hong Kong.”
“Why Hong Kong? What’s going on?”
“Yes……I have someone to meet.”
