It was very late when they arrived back home. Hyunbin asked Jinhwan and Lalisa to go to sleep. "You have to go to work or school tomorrow, so go to sleep. I'll take care of your mom."

Lalisa nodded. To be honest, she wasn't close enough with Hyunbin and his family to totally disregard her basic needs for them. She took a look at Jiwon, saying, "Okay, I'm going to sleep. Don't sleep too late, Dad."

Lalisa woke up as usual due to her biological clock in the morning the next day. She went down to the yard to do yoga as usual. But she only did simple movements this morning and didn't stretch her ligaments as aggressively as before. Soon Grandpa Min walked out. Seeing Lalisa doing yoga in the yard, he walked over with a smile. "Why didn't you get more sleep since you came back so late last night?"

Lalisa stopped. "I'm used to getting up early and exercising."

At this moment, Jinhwan quickly came out. Seeing Grandpa Min, he hurriedly stopped and greeted him respectfully. "Grandpa."

The smile on Grandpa Min's face faded. Looking at Jinhwan who was in suit, Grandpa Min frowned and his face sank. "Are you going to work?"

Jinhwan smiled. "Our plant in City W has some problem. I have to go there and see it."

"Do you have to go there early in the morning? What are the vice-presidents doing?" Grandpa Min sullenly hit his crutch against the ground and looked at Jinhwan. "I don't come here often. Aren't you going to have breakfast with me?"

Jinhwan looked embarrassed and looked at Lalisa for help, but Lalisa continued to do yoga. He could only step closer to Grandpa Min and say to him in a low voice, "Grandpa, an accident happened in the plant. A worker suddenly couldn't breathe and died after coming out of the workshop, so I have to go there personally."

Grandpa Min frowned and took a step back, asking solemnly, "Why did this happen?"

"I'm not yet sure of the reason yet, so I have to go over personally and appease the family members of the deceased." Jinhwan looked at his watch and continued, "Grandpa, I'll take the 9am flight and my driver has come to pick me up, so I..."

"Okay. Remember to appease that worker's family well." Grandpa Min didn't stop him.

Jingwan took a look at Lalisa. "Sorry, Lili, you just came here but I can't send you to school."

Lalisa smiled. "Work comes first. Brother, go about your business. " She heard what Jinhwan said to Grandpa Min just now. She didn't expect Jinhwan to be an able president.

After Jinhwan left, Lalisa continued to do yoga and chatted with Grandpa Min before she went in for breakfast. After breakfast, she heard the car honking outside. Lalisa quickly took her school bag and rushed out, saying, "Grandpa, I'm going to school. See you this evening." Before she finished, she had run out of the house.

Hyunbin looked at her receding figure and pursed his lips. "She's always so happy seeing her uncle and his family."

Grandpa Min snorted. "Who caused this? You asked for this. Who can you blame?"

Hyunbin couldn't find a word to refute and could only lower his head and eat breakfast. "I'm not blaming anyone. I just told the truth."

"If you hadn't been so unfair to her, this would never have happened, so you'd better keep your mouth shut and mind your tongue!" Grandpa Min drank up the porridge in his bowl, looked at Hyunbin and continued, "And if Lili wants to go back to Soohyun's family, you'd better not stop her, or else I'll break your leg!"

"Dad!" Hyunbin looked up in shock and said sullenly, "How can you be so partial to Soohyun?! I'm also your son! Lili is my daughter and is therefore, supposed to live at my home!"
