The Wife Is a Superstar 2

Chapter 322 - Gladly Step In

Donghwi coaxed Hoyeon to lift her head so that they were looking directly at each other's eyes. Then he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. She clutched onto him and surrendered herself to the kiss.

It was as if they never separated. The skin-to-skin contact instantly reignited the dormant fire of desire within them. Their bodies certainly remembered their hunger for each other.

"Mommi?" A child's voice interrupted them from their passionate haze.

As the mother, Hoyeon was very sensitive to her son's every sound and need. Even though it was difficult to do so, she pulled herself away from Donghwi and ended their kiss. Then she quickly went into mother mode.

"Hello, Little Jun. Sorry. Did we wake you up?" She walked over to him and carried the sleepy toddler.

Little Jun rubbed his eyes with his cute little fists. He squinted at Donghwi. "Dada?"

It took him longer to recover from the delicious kiss. But when he did, he also went into father mode. "Yes, Little Jun. It's me. Daddy's here. Come."

"Dada!" Little Jun stretched his little arms and struggled in his mother's arms to get to his father.

Donghwi chuckled as he took his son from Hoyeon. He repeatedly kissed the child's soft and chubby cheeks. He felt so happy today. It was the best New Year that he ever experienced in his life so far.

"Yay! Congrats, Big Brother Boss & Big Sis!" Jae told them, clapping his hands excitedly.

Donghwi grinned. He looked joyful and smug at the same time. In his happiness, he had already forgotten about the ordeal he faced earlier during the Kim family banquet when almost everyone was criticizing him for the press conference. He was so happy that he didn't notice the faint uneasiness in Hoyeon's eyes.

Jennie, Lisa and Jiyong also gave them their best wishes.

As a fellow woman and perhaps because they had grown closer, Jennie sensed Hoyeon's unease. Although she didn't give a whit about the relationship between Donghwi and Hoyeon, she wanted what was best for her godson.

The two getting back together was definitely the ideal situation for Little Jun. That was why Jennie was curious about why there was still some hesitation in Hoyeon, even though she gave Donghwi another chance for them to try again just now.

However curious she was, Jennie refrained from prying. Hoyeon and Donghwi should solve their relationship problems on their own. If this was before, Jennie would've already asked Hoyeon directly what was the matter, but she was in a relationship right now as well.

She personally didn't like other people interfering with her relationship with Lisa. In the same way, she figured it would be disrespectful to pry or interfere with Hoyeon and Donghwi's relationship. The two should figure things out by themselves.

As long as Little Jun was happy and safe, Jennie didn't care what happened to Hoyeon and Donghwi, whether they ended up staying together or separating once again. It was cold of Jennie, yes, but the two were both adults.

Their problem wasn't her problem. But if the problem affected Little Jun in a negative way, then it would become her problem. Nobody should mess with her godson.

She was already feeling annoyed when Alice told her earlier how the other members of the Kim family were treating Donghwi during the banquet because they disapproved of him publicly claiming Little Jun as his son. She had no interest or whatsoever in the Kim family at all. Maintaining good relations with Jihoon and Jia was already enough for her.

But if those Kims started giving trouble to her godson, she didn't mind reorganizing and even doing some purging in that family to make it more livable for Little Jun.

Hopefully, it wouldn't need to come to that point. As for Donghwi, even though he made that emotional declaration of giving up his heir position for Hoyeon and Little Jun, Jennie wasn't sure if he really could do that. He was born and raised to be an heir. It was part of his identity. Could he really give it up without any regrets?

Even Jennie was doubtful if he could stay strong enough to face all the pressure from the elders and the other members of the Kim family. Only time would tell if he could stand by his words. She hoped that he would also be strong enough to protect Little Jun.

If not, then she would gladly step in. She would show no mercy to anyone foolish enough to hurt her godson. And she knew that Lisa also felt the same way.

Both Jiyong and Donghwi planned to sleep over at the mansion because it was already very late. Jiyong had his own designated room in the mansion from before, so he just directly headed there. As for Donghwi, he attached himself to Hoyeon, intending to sleep with her in the same room.

Hoyeon felt awkward. She glanced at Jennie and Lisa, waiting for them to offer Donghwi a separate guest bedroom. However, both Jennie and Lisa pretended not to notice her.

Instead, Lisa took Little Jun from Donghwi. The toddler was sleeping soundly once again. Donghwi didn't try to stop Lisa from taking his son like usual. He actually felt grateful because he knew that his sister and her fiancé were helping him. They were giving him a chance to romance his lady for tonight, so of course he wasn't going to waste it!

"The bed in your room is not very big. Three people won't fit there comfortably, so Little Jun will be sleeping with me and Lisa in our room tonight. Our bed is many times bigger than yours," Jennie gave them this lame excuse.

Hoyeon hurriedly tried to refute her. "Actually, I think we three can fit—"

Donghwi interrupted her by talking to Jennie at the same time. "Oh, is that so? I see. We'll have to bother you then, little sister. Please take care of our son tonight. Come, Yeon. Don't worry about Little Jun. He's in safe hands with his godparents."

"I..."

"Goodnight and Happy New Year," Jennie told them before leaving with her darling, godson and two cats.

"Ehehe. Goodnight!" Jae waggled his eyebrows at Donghwi and Hoyeon before scurrying to his own room as well.

Hoyeon's face was burning red when everyone else left, leaving only the two of them.

Donghwi nuzzled her ear before whispering, "Come, my sweet Yeon. It's time for bed."
