"If that child was my son... I'd rush back to Capital City and make preparations for my wedding. I'd fight anybody who tried to stop me...

"I'd make a cage and lock that woman up inside if she ever tried to run away again...

"Frankly, it doesn't matter whether that child is mine or not... As long as Chaeng agreed... I'd marry her... I'd buy her a wedding dress sewn with the most beautiful jewels in the world... Wouldn't it be nice if we could take our wedding pictures in Hawaii or Iceland?"

The pained expression lingered on his face as he said those words.

He was almost thirty years old, but this was probably the first time Jisoo had suffered such a terrible blow. Moments later, tears rolled down Mr. Kim's face...

Sh*t! Kim Jisoo could actually cry?

What happened to the saying that men should not shed their tears without restraint!

The next line actually went on to say that it was because he had not been hurt as much as he thought he was.

Lisa furrowed his eyebrows as he listened. He allowed his thoughts to run wild. If Little Nini made him into a cuckold one day, he would...

No, no, no, that thought was too terrifying!

Lisa hurriedly erased this frightening idea from his mind.

Jennie would never do that. She belonged to him!

Jisoo continued to drink. In just a short while, he became so drunk that he completely lost his sense of self-awareness.

Lisa had no choice but to book a room for him. He instructed two servers to watch over him.

He still could not understand why Little Nini was avoiding him and why she would not want to go home.

The depressed man glanced at his phone again. His screensaver was a picture of Jennie with her palms pressed together, making a wish under a sky of fireworks...

The first ray of sunshine cascaded through the window at dawn and scattered all over the body of the woman who was sound asleep in bed.

The light yellow sheets of the bed made the room made the room felt warmer than it was.

Suddenly, Jennie was woken up by a cool little hand tapping her twice.

Her eyes jolted open and met a pair of pitch-black pupils staring down at her from above. The little boy with sparkling eyes and long eyelashes was incredibly adorable.

"Beautiful big sister, are you awake? You stole mommy away from me last night. She didn't even get to put me to sleep." said An An with a smile on his face. "But you're so pretty, so I still like you staying at my house."

Jennie clambered up from the bed. She rubbed her temples while her head continued to ache. Who was this little rascal?

Who was his mother?

Jennie scanned her surroundings and realized that they were completely foreign to her. How did she arrive here?

"Mommy, the beautiful big sister is awake!"

There were tiger heads on An An's fluffy slippers. They slapped noisily against the floor as he ran outside and yelled.

"I'm coming. I'm coming!"

Jennie widened her eyes. She looked on in disbelief as Chaeyoung ran out of the kitchen in an apron.

She kissed An An's cheek tenderly and murmured, "Mommy made you breakfast. Granny Zhang will take you to school once you've eaten."

An An nodded. His cute little face was tinted with red. When he turned around to look at Jennie, he looked slightly reluctant to leave. "Is beautiful big sister going to be here tonight?"

Chaeyoung burst out laughing. Her son was perfect, but he had a weakness for women.

"Yes, mommy will invite her over to play since you like her so much. Also, you should call her 'aunty' and not 'big sister'!"

Chaeyoung was troubled by her son's cheekiness. He referred to beautiful women as his big sisters because he wanted to decrease the age gap between them and himself. Meanwhile, he would only address the ugly ones as aunties!

Once, An An was playing downstairs when he saw an overweight woman in her thirties walking a large dog. An An ran over and called her an old lady when she allowed the big dog to poop wherever it liked...

An An nodded. "I know that I should call her 'aunty', but she's prettier than most of the 'big sisters' I know. That's why..."

"That's why you should hurry up and finish your food before you go to school! Granny Zhang will take you to school first. Mommy will attend your parent-teacher conference later today once I've requested for leave."

An An cowered in terror when Chaeyoung plastered a stern look on her face. He tucked his tail between his legs and slipped away to the dining room to look for Aunty Zhang.

Chaeyoung saw the dazed look on Jennie's face as she sat on the bed. She realized that she could not hide this from her any longer. She straightened her apron and sighed. "I'm sorry, Jen. That's my son, An An. He's a naughty boy..."

"Does Shao Yibai know?"

Jennie's initial response was to ask about Jisoo.

"This child...

"He's not Jisoo's son!"

Chaeyoung had anticipated Jennie's question. She avoided her gaze and replied queitly.
