It was a windy day, yet Jennie and Lisa still bravely rode his helicopter. The turbulence was a little alarming but the pilot deemed that the windy weather was still within the safe limits the aircraft and his abilities could handle.

The wind grew stronger as they reached the mountains, yet true to the pilot's word, the aircraft soldiered on like a bulldozer.

Finally, the helicopter landed. Jennie and Lisa disembarked together with his two subordinates.

"Welcome back, Master!" A man greeted him. It was the same man who greeted Grandpa and Jennie before. His eyes widened in surprise when he recognized Jennie.

He was about to greet her as well when Jennie stopped him with a look. He seemed to understand because he stopped himself and reverted to a neutral expression. Indeed, he was a professional.

"The two Madams and Sir Kwon are waiting for you inside," he informed them.

"Oh? Grandpa is here as well?"

"Yes, Master."

Lisa turned to Jennie, pulling her close to his body. "Baby, there's one more person that I want you to meet. We aren't blood-related but he's a very important part of our family. I consider him as my grandfather. He can be a little weird but that's just the way he is. Don't feel offended at some of the things he might say. He's a jokester but he has a good heart. Okay, baby?"

She nodded. She almost burst into laughter at how Lisa described Grandpa Kwon. If Grandpa could only hear what Lisa said about him, she bet that the elderly man would scold Lisa for an entire day.

They began walking up the stone steps. It was colder than when Jennie first came here. Even with a thicker coat, a scarf, and gloves, she still felt cold. Lisa pulled her closer to his body. He rearranged her scarf so that it covered her more and pulled her hood over her head. Then he kissed her between the brows.

The eyes of the man leading them almost popped out of his head. He couldn't believe that Master was acting so intimate with a woman. What was even more shocking was that the woman was none other than Miss Kim who the two Madams fell in love with. What was going on? He had the impression that Sir Kwon wanted Miss Kim for his own grandson. If that was the case, why was Miss Kim suddenly with Master Lisa?

Finally, they reached the huge brick country house.

"There you are, Lisa my boy! I heard that you're introducing your girlfriend today so I came! Oh! Looks like it's really a girl! Good! Very good! Ahaha!" Grandpa's voice immediately boomed when they entered.

Jennie's face was covered by her scarf and hood, so only her eyes were visible. Grandpa and the others didn't recognize her yet.

"Grandpa, good to see you," Lisa greeted.

"Close the door," Grandma ordered. The man who led them inside obeyed and closed the massive wooden doors. "Lisa, my dear. It's so windy today. We could've postponed this until tomorrow or when the weather—"

Grandma wasn't able to finish her sentence because she saw Jennie taking off her hood and her scarf. She immediately recognized her.

"Jennie?" she asked.

"Oh!" Chitthip covered her open mouth with a delicate hand.

"Oy oy oy! What are you doing here, my girl?! And why are you with Lisa?! I want to know! Wait! Don't tell me that you two are—no way!"

Jennie smiled sweetly and walked towards them, leaving behind an utterly confused Lisa.

"Hello, Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie," she greeted them. "It's so great to see you all again."

Grandma held Jennie's upper arms. "Jennie my dear, what's going on?"

She already had an idea as evident by her excited eyes, but she still wanted the confirmation.

"Yes, I want to know what's going on as well," Lisa said as he also walked and stood beside Jennie. "Baby, what's going on? You met my family before?"

"B-baby?! What did you just call my granddaughter?!" Grandpa's expression of disbelief was a sight to see. He also looked enraged at the same time.

Lisa frowned. "Grandpa, why are you calling my girlfriend your granddaughter?"

"Girlfriend?!!! No!!!" Grandpa looked like his world just ended. He turned to Jennie, looking very heartbroken. "Jennie my girl, tell Grandpa you're not really his girlfriend."

"What are you saying, you old buffoon? My grandson just said that Jennie is his girlfriend." Grandma looked at him in triumph.

"Hmph!" Grandpa l decided to ignore her for now and turned back to Jennie. "Well, my girl?"

"Grandpa, Lisa is indeed my boyfriend."

"You naughty girl! Why didn't you tell me?! I want to know!"

"Yes, my dear. Why didn't you tell us?" Grandma asked as well. "Did you know about our relationship with Lisa when you met us before?"

"At first, I didn't know. It was only when Auntie confirmed his two son's names did I learn of Lisa's connection to you. Please forgive me for not telling you right away. I wanted to surprise you."

Grandma laughed in delight. She gently patted Jennie's cheek. "Silly girl. Don't worry. I'm very happy that you're my grandson's girlfriend. In fact, this is the best situation that I can hope for."

"Lisa, is it really true?" Chitthip asked Lisa.

"En."

"Oh!" Chitthip burst into tears.

"My dear! Why are you crying?" Grandma went to her daughter-in-law and rubbed her back.

"I-I'm just so...happy! I already...love Jennie and I want her to be my...d-daughter. And now she has r-really become my daughter!"

Grandma chuckled.

"Hmph! What are you talking about, Chitthip?! What daughter?! Jennie is only the Lisa's girlfriend! They're not married yet!"

"Oh, be quiet," Grandma snapped at Grandpa.

"What did you say, you old hag?!"

"What did you call me, you old gorilla?!"

"Auntie, please don't cry," Jennie said.

"Oh, Jennie!" Chitthip ran and threw herself at Jennie, hugging her tightly.

Afterwards, the three led Jennie away to the living area.

Lisa stood in a daze, as he watched his baby girl being led by his family. What was going on? They were too preoccupied with her that they completely forgot about him!
