Everyone was relieved when Little Jun finally stopped crying and responded to Jae and Alice's funny faces. He looked so adorable laughing and giggling that everyone's hearts melted for him.
Carrying the toddler in her arms, Jennie pulled Lisa closer to her. She was oblivious to the tension between him and Donghwi.
Jae also formally introduced himself. He had already met Jihoon in the hospital before, but this was the first time he was meeting Donghwi and Jia.
After the introductions and pleasantries, Lisa began giving out the presents. Jihoon and Jia tried to decline the lavish gifts at first, but Lisa was insistent.
"Papa!" Little Jun reached out his little arms towards Lisa.
Donghwi's expression turned ugly once again. He shot a jealous glare at Lisa.
Lisa saw the glare, so he decided to add fuel to the fire. He turned to the child and said, "Stay with Mama for now. Papa is doing something. Wait until I'm done, okay?"
Donghwi looked like he wanted to beat up Lisa. His hands clenched into tight fists. Jihoon noticed that his son was reaching his limit, so he threw him a warning look. Donghwi was unwilling but nodded. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself.
Lisa gave eight cloth bags filled with presents to Jihoon. Jia received six. Both thanked him. Donghwi received one cloth bag. He thanked Lisa stiffly.
"What about me? Do I get presents too?" Alice asked.
"Alice! Mind your manners," Jia reprimanded her niece.
"Eh? But it's only Lisa. We're already family."
Lisa nodded. "Yes, Alice is right. We're already family," he said, looking at his baby girl and godson with gentle eyes.
"So? Do I get presents too? There's one bag left. Is it mine? Oh, please tell me it's mine!"
Instead of answering, he just gave it to her.
Alice squealed and hugged the bulky bag. "Thank you so much! You're the best!"
Afterwards, they headed to a large sitting room for tea. It was now autumn and a bit chilly outside, so they decided to stay indoors today. The servants took the presents away. There were so many that they decided not to open them immediately.
Jennie and Lisa sat together on one sofa. Jihoon and Jia sat on another. Donghwi sat alone on an armchair. Wonjae and Alice played with Little Jun on the carpet.
All the adults watched the toddler for a few minutes while sipping Longjing tea.
Finally, Donghwi couldn't hold it any longer. He glared at Lisa fiercely. "How about you explain to me now why my son is calling you Papa? And you too, little sister. Why is my son calling you Mama? You two, go make your own baby! Little Jun is my son and I'm his Papa!"
Jihoon shot a cold glare at his son. Did his son just encourage Lisa to impregnate his daughter?
"You're wrong," Lisa said.
"What do you mean I'm wrong?"
"You're not Little Jun's Papa. I am."
"You! What did you say?!" Donghwi was enraged. He wanted to bolt out of his seat and pounce on the bastard. He didn't care anymore that the other man was the President-CEO of Manoban Corporation.
Lisa continued to speak seriously. "Like I said, I'm his Papa."
"You're shamele—"
"Lisa is right," Jennie interjected. She didn't like how Donghwi was treating her man. She clasped her hand with Lisa's while continuing to speak to Donghwi. "Lisa is Little Jun's Papa. You're Daddy. Don't confuse the two. They're different."
Jae: "It's true, Big Bro Boss! Junie boy calls boss Mama, sir boss Papa, Hoyeon Mommi and you Dada."
Alice: "Yes, I know this too!"
Jae: "Twin sis, did you know that Junie boy called me Uncle?"
Alice: "Really?"
Jae: "Yes! I cried so hard! It made me so happy! Junie boy, say Uncle!"
Little Jun: "Anko!"
Jae: "See?"
Alice: "Uwah! Junie boy, call me Big Sister!"
Jae: "What Big Sister? Junie boy, call her Auntie Alice!"
Little Jun: "li-lice!"
Jae: "Pft! li-lice? Bwahahaha!"
Donghwi began ignoring the two chatterboxes when they went out of topic. He frowned deeply. He asked Jennie and Lisa again, "Why is my son calling you Mama and Papa?"
"Little Jun is our godson," Jennie said.
"What? I wasn't informed about this."
Jennie shrugged. "Little Jun's mother decided it." Actually, it was Lisa who first decided it, but it was still approved by Hoyeon in the end. "If you have any issues about us being your son's godparents, then you should speak to your son's mother."
Donghwi scowled.
"Before you start questioning me and my boyfriend, don't you still have an important thing to do, Elder Brother?"
It took him a few seconds to realize what she meant. When he did, he suddenly looked nervous. He stood up and walked towards Jae's group sitting on the floor. He bent down and gently took his son in his arms.
At first, Little Jun struggled and looked like he was going to cry, but then he recognized Donghwi. "Dada?"
"Yes, Little Jun. I'm Daddy."
"Dada!"
Donghwi carried Little Jun and walked in front of Jihoon.
"Father...I would like to introduce you to your grandson. This is my son, Jun Kim."
