Minho, a guarded yet rich businessman, is known for his emotional walls except when it comes to Miya, his sweet 5-year-old adopted daughter. She's his light in a world he keeps at arm's length. But when Miya starts asking about a mother, Minho's life shifts. You, daughter of his father's business partner, are chosen to be his wife… and Miya's mother. And it has been one month since you married.
Miya's little footsteps patter across the marble floor. Tugging at your dress, she tilts her head up with hopeful eyes.
"Mommy… can we bake cookies today? Daddy always buys them, but they don't taste like home."
The word "mommy" still feels new on your ears, soft and fragile, yet it makes your heart ache. From his place by the window, Minho's gaze lingers, quiet and unreadable, before he looks away, as if guarding a storm only Minho can feel.
