"Then quickly propose to her and marry her before we go for the picnic, Appa!" Bang Sehyun yelled at the top of his lungs and he seemed so proud of it that he is forcing his father to marry me when we are not even dating each other, I didn't even tell him that I am ready to start a relationship with him.

I am still in the middle of thinking and it has only been less than 8 hours ago and these kids already want me in their family, I feel so overwhelmed with all of this and the fact that all the children are going with it. Especially Sena who used to hate me until last night apologized to me and she wanted me to be her mother which is a very huge task for me as I am just 8 years older than her and I am not her birth mother.

I am their babysitter and I am still their babysitter, these won't change until I decided that I wanted to get together with Mr Bang, the conditions that he gave me is pretty good and I am considering it very seriously. I will still be taking care of his kids but it is more like a mother taking care of her kids, I will not get any salary but an allowance that he will give to me every single month and I can get a part-time job or even a full-time job after Sehyun is old enough to take care of himself.

And that contract is marriage and he is going to marry me into the family as an attempt to get a motherly figure in the family and to take care of him as well, I will be their mother as soon as I marry Mr Bang and this is a lot of things to take in. I will be a 25-year-old married woman with 3 children that is not even mine and I will be married to a guy who is 10 years older than me and he is a divorcee as well, my mother would faint if she knows that I am getting involved with a divorced man who had 3 children.

Her wish is for me to marry someone who has a remarkable career so that he can take care of me without any financial issues in our relationship, that person used be Cha Eunwoo who is now my ex-boyfriend and we dated for nearly 5 years, and my mother has met him several times. She isn't that happy to know that I have ended things with him at first but after listening to me explain, she calmed down a little and agreed with me that I was just wasting my time dating him when we are just going to break up someday, my mother wouldn't want me to date someone for so long and not marry that person, she will go nuts and she has gone nuts once. It took me a few days to make her calm down and it took her another 2 weeks for me to agree to be moving out of the house and moving into my place with the promise that I will find a full-time job and I wouldn't have to starve every single meal.

I would have gone home the other time when I had that huge disagreement with Mr Bang but I didn't go home because I am so scared that my mother would immediately set me up with some random guy that I don't even know and she will force me to marry him because I have no means to make my mother proud of me by my abilities and that would mean that she is not going to allow me to make my own decisions and my life would be so miserable.

"You are not going with us? It is going to be so fun but not as enjoyable because you are not there with us." Sena asked me when we're alone in the room while the guys went to change their clothes.

"I know that you guys want to include me but I don't feel at ease going out with you guys, I am not even part of your family and my mother will kill me if she knows that I like your father." She immediately burst into laughter and I told her not to laugh at me. "You're 25 years old and you are still afraid of your mother, all mothers are not that scary and there is no reason why you should be scare of letting him know that you are about to get married to my father."

"She is the scariest person I know and I don't want her to disapprove of my relationship with Mr Bang, she wasn't that pleased with that ex-boyfriend that I dated for 5 years," I told her. "I know that your father is a great guy but to my mother, he is a huge red flag because he had been married once and he is 10 years older than me and he has you guys as his children."

"That doesn't matter, all your mother should see is that my father is the best person for you, he is older and that would mean that he is mature in thinking and he knows how to take care of you in the best way because he had the experience of someone leaving him for another man." She said, putting on a reassuring smile. "I will still call you my mother no matter what happens and how my grandmother is so strict and mean."

"Your grandmother?" I chuckled. "I am not even married to your father yet, he gave me some time to think it over and I am also allowed to reject him."

"Don't reject him, he is a big softie and I know that how much he likes you even though he doesn't seem to show it but I know that he is willing to do anything for you." She said.

A sudden thought came to my mind and I know that it is the best solution to solve this issue. "I am going to visit her personally and tell her that I have someone in mind of marriage and I am just informing her about it, she will have no choice but to accept it."

"Then let's go to her house, ditch the picnic and we will prove to her that being with my father is the best choice ever." She dragged me out of the room and tells the others about our sudden change of plans.
