Mingyu closed his eyes and took deep breaths to calm himself. The thought of his girlfriend meeting and talking to her scumbag ex in person was enough to infuriate him.

"Yeon, I don't want to dictate your actions, but...I just can't find it in myself to agree to Donghwi's request to meet you," he said in a measured tone to keep his emotions as stable as possible while talking to his girlfriend.

"I know," Hoyeon replied. "But Donghwi says that he'll stop bothering me if I agree to meet and talk to him. He wants...closure, I guess. But, to be honest, I also want closure so that I can go forward with my relationship with you without any remaining emotional and mental baggage from my past failed relationship. So I'm also curious about what he wants to talk about with me."

It was taking Mingyu everything to control his temper. Feeling an almost overwhelming flood of negative emotion like this was quite rare for someone with a calm and stable personality like him. He didn't want to scare his girlfriend, but it was difficult to agree with her plan.

Then she asked, "Will you come with me?"

"Huh?" Her question didn't register in his mind right away.

She clarified, "I want you to come with me when I meet with Donghwi. I think...I'll feel more assured and confident with you there. C-can you, Mingyu?"

All of Mingyu's anger seemed to dissipate after hearing what his girlfriend said. His ugly expression turned into a smiling one.

"Alright, Yeon. Of course, I'll come with you if that's what you want."

"Thank you, Mingyu."

After the phone call, Mingyu's mood was now lighter than ever. His usual gentle smile had an extra warmth and even a noticeable sparkle in his eyes.

He couldn't help but appreciate Hoyeon even more. She was not only an impressive woman and a wonderful mother, but she was also a considerate lover. She must have known that he would feel awful about her plan to meet and talk with her ex, so she asked him to go with her. He liked her openness. If she met with her ex behind his back, he would undoubtedly feel horrible even if he understood the reason behind her decision.

"Look at Boss' smile! I bet he just spoke to our future lady boss on the phone!"

The workers teased him, but he felt fantastic. So he decided to stay and help with the harvest for the rest of the day.

When Jennie and Lisa heard that Donghwi wanted to spend a day with Little Jun, they were both displeased. However, it didn't matter what they felt about it because Hoyeon had already allowed her ex's request. She was the mother, while the two of them were only the godparents.

They also couldn't deny that Donghwi was indeed their godson's father, whether they liked it or not. Despite their misgivings, they didn't bother dissuading Hoyeon from her decision.

"I'll talk to the head of our security and form the best team to protect our godson," Lisa said.

"Good." Jennie also thought of a way to fortify their godson's safety and security when the child went with his father. "There are still a few days before Donghwi takes Little Jun. I can make a small and simple device that will monitor Little Jun the whole time and immediately alert us if something happens to him."

"How about a smartwatch?" Lisa suggested. "I've seen some little kids wearing a simplified child's version of a smartwatch. You can just reprogram it, so you don't have to create a whole new device from scratch."

"That's feasible. I just don't know if Little Jun is willing to wear a smartwatch. He doesn't like to wear the gold bracelets that his Grandma bought for him. So I'll try the smartwatch, but maybe I'll also tweak a keychain or something else that we can just pin to him."
