The well that gently entered both cheeks was terribly cute.

With those chubby cheeks and the warmth of the sun melting the ice, the child’s affability that easily opened even the firmly locked heart was incredibly charming. In other words, while Hyunwoo’s appearance was undoubtedly Taeseojun, his flexible sociability resembled Eom Soyeon.

Moreover, the child’s sharpness in speaking, accurately distinguishing between English for the Caucasian nanny and Korean for Eom Eunhyuk and Jo Yeonhee, far exceeded the abilities of a 4-year-old.

This was probably due to the influence of Professor Eom’s extensive knowledge.

Eom Yeojin’s mind had been filled with Hyunwoo since the first day she started staying at Professor Eom’s house.

And now, more than ten days had passed since she spent time here. What excited Yeojin the most during this time was the daily appearance of Hyunwoo, strolling in the garden as if keeping a promised time.

Today as well, while walking with Hyunwoo, who had just entered the reception room, Yeojin wiped Hyunwoo’s hands, which were dirtied from playing with soil, thoroughly with a towel and said.

“Hyunwoo, try calling me Grandma.”

“Hehe, but you’re not my grandma.”

“Someday, I’ll become a grandma too.”

“Ah! Are you predicting the future in advance?”

“Yes. That’s right, Hyunwoo.”

Unconsciously, Yeojin, who sat him on her lap, calling herself grandma without knowing whether she was a real grandmother or an aunt, laughed warmly and cuddled Hyunwoo, who laughed and fidgeted, unknowingly leaning her heart towards the child.

Time flew by without realizing it, and it was already evening while being with Hyunwoo.

Now, Jessica, the nanny, said it was bedtime and took Hyunwoo away from Yeojin like taking away candy.

Yeojin, who felt somewhat regretful about being separated from the child, ran to her husband, who was leisurely reading the newspaper in the study, and raised her voice.

“What are we going to do now!”

“Oh, you surprised me! Why, are you in a hurry?”

Sukho, who covered the newspaper at her unusual attitude, soon widened his smile. It could even be called a mischievous smile.

“No way, is it me?”

Returning to her original calm demeanor, Yeojin said in a nonchalant tone.

“Seojun knows about it, and it’s not like we ignored it. In the first place, it’s not our fault that Eomma hid the child, so we didn’t do anything wrong. But what about Professor Eom, who suffered not knowing anything and took care of the daughter and Hyunwoo? What will happen to them?”

No matter how greedy a child is, didn’t she oppose her husband yesterday, saying that marriage was not allowed until today? Because of that, for the past few days, Yeojin’s mood had been swinging between heaven and hell.

However, even if she revealed her changed inner thoughts, her pride wouldn’t allow it, so Yeojin sat down on the chair, her expression deeply sulky.

“It feels like we’ve become magpies. Somehow, it’s embarrassing and shameless, so I can’t even say that Hyunwoo is our grandson. I really don’t know what to do.”
“Haha, you got it.”

Suddenly bursting into laughter, Taeseokho showed a sparkling gaze as if the wait for the past few days was worth it.

“So, has your heart changed now?”

“What do you mean! So, you were waiting for my stubbornness to break?”

At her husband’s natural words, Yeojin burst out for a moment, and Seokho frowned.

“Oh, dear, I’ll lose my hearing! That’s how our grandson can like his grandma. Most importantly, it would be nice to soften that rough impression of yours.”

“What’s wrong with my expression!”

“It looks really ugly. Like an old witch.”

“What, what, what, what? An old witch?”

“Yes. Like a tricky and ugly old witch.”

“Oh my, my, in this world!”

Living this long, Yeojin had never heard such words. Moreover, it was from her husband, who should be on her side for a lifetime. Yeojin found it more absurd.

“What kind of nonsense is this! Hyunwoo even said I’m a pretty aunt…”

Yeojin, who was venting her emotions, suddenly bit her lip. It was embarrassing to admit her affection for Hyunwoo, which she had been trying to ignore. Her already tilted heart had been revealed.

“Hooho. You’ve fallen deeply into your grandson’s charm. Poor Mrs. Cha can’t help it!”

In fact, from the first day she came here, Yeojin, who had sneakily taken the child out to the garden, was none other than Taeseokho himself. And the result was just as he expected.

“Anyway, what are you going to do now?”

“Well, I don’t know. I’ve been like this without knowing what to do.”

At the end of his words, Seokho grabbed the newspaper he had been slightly shaking, and Yeojin, who snatched it away, raised her temper.

“I’m not asking for such irresponsible answers! Who brought me here? Come up with a solution quickly!”

Someone who doesn’t know how to get excited makes a loud noise. It was because her heart was so confused that she couldn’t control it. Seokho, who seemed to think it was enough, approached Cha Yeojin.
