Chapter 5 Silver Oak Farm(1) TL: Hanguk “Vinegar? What do you mean?” Dad wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck and sat down on the empty plastic box for holding grapes next to the storage. “Mr. John Anderson already sold all the marketable grapes, but we can’t just throw these away.” "That's why I was going to sell them cheap." In fact, the best way to secure even a little cash was to sell them to a low-priced winery that handled cheap products. It was…-

Chapter 4 Taking Over the Farm (3) TL: Hanguk Eight hundred thousand dollars. That was the cost to take over the 15-acre farm, and among that, the actual amount withdrawn from Dad’s bank account was a little over fifty million won in Korean currency, which was forty thousand dollars. We acquired a Cabernet Sauvignon farm the size of about six soccer fields for barely a little over fifty million won. “Let’s really do well.” “Honey, I can really work hard.” Dad and Mom held…

Chapter 3 Taking Over the Farm(2) TL: Hanguk My dad and I arrived at the USDA Agricultural Support Office in Napa County, located on the outskirts of Napa Valley, California. In the bright afternoon sunlight, the words ‘United States Department of Agriculture’ shone above the entrance of the small brick building. When we stepped inside, a cool gust of air conditioning greeted us along with a neat and orderly atmosphere. “Welcome. How may I help you?” An employee with a bright and…

Chapter 2 Taking Over the Farm (1) TL: Hanguk “What kind of nonsense is that? This house is rented too. Considering your tuition and rent, I have to work without rest. But where would that kind of big money even come from?” Dad gave me a look that said I was being immature, but I wasn’t bothered. Since it was something a high schooler was saying, of course it would just seem like reckless bravado. “You don’t need a huge amount of money to take over a farm. Even a very small amount is…

Chapter 1 The Failed Vineyard TL: Hanguk A spring day in California’s Napa Valley, where golden sunlight washes over the vineyard. Contrary to the refreshing scenery of the endlessly stretching green vineyard that pleases the eyes. “So you’re saying you’re shutting down now? Huh?” Some people were agitated, others looked as though the sky had fallen, and then there were Dad and Mom, staring blankly. All of this should have made me anxious and shaken, but I was simply…

Chapter 4 "What...?" "You don't need to pack anything for me. I'll head out on my own tomorrow." "Absolutely not!" Kristine shouted. Her vision of spending quality time as a whole family was completely ruined. Howard managed to soothe Kristine Blackwood by explaining that he was only stepping out for a few days due to work. Still, the emotion I had picked up beneath the rain-soaked sky was undeniable. Reunited with his wife, Howard had been practically swept up in a wave of tears and raw…-

Chapter 3 I swallowed back the swear word threatening to spill out. My subtle standoff with Nigel was cut short by the sudden arrival of Kristine Blackwood. "Ah, you're all here." "Mother?" "Nigel, aren't you thrilled? Howard is arriving soon!" At the thought of seeing the son she had been separated from for over two years, Kristine looked far more excited than usual. "It is a relief that Brother is returning safe and sound," Nigel said with a subtle smile. "He was called off to war so suddenly...…

Chapter 2 Rowina and Kristine didn't get along. To be precise, Kristine just hated Rowina plain and simple. Except for one specific incident, the book didn't offer much detail about Kristine, nor did it dive into Rowina's inner thoughts. So, I tried to piece together what Rowina actually knew. First of all, Rowina’s marriage to Howard had broken an engagement with a family the Blackwoods had been close with for years, completely shattering that relationship. Kristine had been keeping a sharp eye on…

Chapter 1 I woke up with a strange warmth running through me. "Ugh, mm...." I tried to get a word out, but the sound just echoed in my mouth and refused to escape. It didn't take long to figure out why: I was locking lips with some man. My whole body shuddered at the feeling of his mouth moving so intimately against mine. ...Hold on. We’re kissing? I could barely move. Half-lying on a two-seater sofa, I was trapped in his arms and taking his kiss. I tried to resist, but my muscles just wouldn't…

~Chapter 9~ Donghui was about to say “yes” because her eyes hurt, but then remembered they had charged her 60 points just to open the shop. So she cautiously asked instead, glancing across to check if the butler who had been dozing off had woken up. The butler, apparently quite tired, had now fully dozed off, leaning his head against the wall of the carriage. “Does it also cost points just to look at the sorted list?” – So unnecessarily sharp, aren’t you. To view the sorted list, it’ll…-
