However, no one cared about Beomgyu's resistance.

"Haru will come back with me tonight, he still has school tomorrow." Jungkook looked unhappily at Haru, who was clinging onto Lisa.

Knowing that she would be leaving very early tomorrow, Lisa nodded in agreement.

"But I want to sleep with Mommy." Upon knowing that he was going to be separated from Lisa, tears slowly welled up in Haru's eyes. He couldn't bear to part with Mommy. A few anguished sobs burst out of his trembling lips.

Beomgyu looked at Haru's crying face and gloated inwardly. 'That little devil is going to be punished by his father.'

"Stop fooling around. You have school tomorrow. Let's go."

Jungkook walked up and held Haru's hand. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped and looked at Beomgyu expressionlessly. "You too."

"..."

Beomgyu's gloating expression changed immediately. "I... Can't I go tomorrow?"

Jungkook glanced at Lisa's exposed legs, which were as fair as an exquisite piece of jade, and felt an inexplicable surge of anger.

"Either you leave now or you don't go at all."

Lisa didn't know why Jungkook was angry, but she still tried to ease the atmosphere by persuading Beomgyu.

"It's alright, go with him and help take care of Haru. I have to go out very early tomorrow."

Whatever struggles he had were futile. In the end, Jungkook held Haru's hand and left the apartment with Beomgyu, whose face was as wrinkled as a bun.

The boisterous house suddenly quieted down. Lisa sat on the carpet, holding a cup of tea as she looked out the window. The modern city was unlike the ancient times where everywhere would be closed once night fell. At night, the modern city lit up with countless neon lights, giving it a unique charm.

As she looked out the window at the myriad of lights outside, Lisa began to miss the little dumpling that had always clung to her. She wondered if they had arrived safely.

At this moment, the phone vibrated, and the screen showed a flashing black profile picture with a few stars on it.

The caller ID displayed one word, "Jun".

Before Haru left, he was especially reluctant to part with Lisa, so she had promised him a video call to coax him to sleep. It seemed that they had reached home safely.

Lisa smiled, put down the cup in her hand, and pressed the answer button.

"Mommy!"

A white and cuddly dumpling squeezed into the screen.

"Good boy. Have you showered?" Lisa gently responded.

"Yes, Mommy. The auntie at home helped me take a bath. I smell so good now. Smell me!"

With that, Haru put his arm in front of the phone.

"Yes, you smell good." Lisa's lips curled up at the child's adorable actions.

Beside Haru sat Jungkook, who was reading the documents on his computer seriously. However, although Haru had been chatting with Lisa for almost fifteen minutes, he was still on the first page.

"Alright, it's time to sleep. You have to wake up early for school tomorrow."

A low and attractive male voice could be heard. Lisa, who had wanted to talk to Lisa for a while more, realized that it was already very late.
