The Wife Is A Superstar 7

Chapter 1394 Mayhem

This harmonious scene continued until the children began to feel drowsy. The Kwon twins were the ones who fell asleep first. Their parents, Jiyong and Jisoo, took them away to their own bedroom. Then the Manoban twins started nodding off as well. Jennie and Lisa also carried their babies to the master bedroom. Lily followed them.

It was clear that Little Jun was also feeling sleepy, but the child was doing his best to keep awake. He hugged his father's neck and looked like he wanted to stay like that for the rest of the night.

"Time for bed, Little Jun." Hoyeon tried taking him, but the child refused to let go of his father. "Dada," Little Jun whimpered. "Dada, stay. Junjun want Dada."

Donghwi's eyes were red and suspiciously moist. He also hugged his son and looked like he didn't want to let go.

Hoyeon was torn. She glanced at Mingyu, who looked as helpless as her.

"Lead the way to my son's bedroom," Donghwi told them. "I'll put Little Jun to bed."

She hesitated but eventually nodded and did just that.

Even when they arrived in the child's bedroom, Little Jun continued to act spoiled. He refused to sleep even when he kept on yawning. Donghwi helped bathe his son and even read him bedtime stories. Finally, in the middle of the fourth bedtime storybook, Little Jun could no longer hold on. The little guy eventually fell asleep.

All three adults released big sighs of relief. Donghwi kissed his son's forehead and caressed the child's face. He wanted to stamp this memory in his mind for the rest of his life. This was also the first time in a long time, ever since he and Hoyeon broke up, that he felt so peaceful.

Feeling peaceful in enemy territory, wasn't it ironic?

He almost laughed out loud—to mock himself.

But he knew that this peace would only last tonight. Everything would return to the shitty, harsh reality tomorrow. He was about to leave but felt a light tug on his shirt. He glanced down and saw that Little Jun was clutching the hem of his shirt tightly with his small hand despite being asleep. Hoyeon and Mingyu both saw the situation. Both felt complicated, especially Hoyeon. She had a lot of opinions against her ex but seeing her son acting so sticky like this with him made her feel guilty and terrible. Mingyu must have sensed her feelings because he patted her back, trying to reassure her. Donghwi sighed and worked on gently prying his son's little hand to let go of his shirt, but there was a soft yet sad smile on his face. When his shirt was freed, he didn't leave right away. Instead, he stared at his son and kissed the child a few times before leaving with a heavy heart.

Outside Little Jun's bedroom, the atmosphere changed in an instant. "We still need to talk about what your wife did to my son," Hoyeon announced.

"Alright." he knew that he couldn't escape this conversation. His expression turned cold, but he didn't bother glaring at Mingyu, who stuck close to Hoyeon. He felt exhausted after everything that happened today. He didn't have the energy to quarrel with his ex and her new lover tonight. He followed them to a nearby sitting area. Jennie and Lisa were already waiting there when they arrived. Donghwi wasn't surprised at their presence. After all, Jennie and Lisa were Little Jun's godparents.

The conversation didn't last for too long because none wanted to waste any time. All of them felt exhausted.

When it was over, Donghwi left and drove his own car out of Dragon Palace Home #10. He looked at the palatial mansion looming behind him through his rearview mirror.

As he drove farther and farther away, the weight on his shoulders seemed to return and become heavier and heavier.

For a moment, he didn't want to go back to his wife, to the life he had chosen.
