3rd PERSON'S POV

"Why is my little prince crying?" A man asked his 10-month old son.

The baby boy has been crying in his mother's arms for almost three minutes now. The baby stops crying immediately after hearing his father's voice and starts looking around while sniffing. He keeps blabbering and saying gibberish like he was actually telling his daddy why he was crying .

This makes the father smile so brightly. The baby starts giggling when he sees where his father is. The man walks towards his son.

"Who is that?", the woman holding the baby asks. Then the baby starts babbling again. He even starts drooling. "Ohh, it's Daddy!", she added, which makes the baby squeal. And that makes the couple laugh loudly. The room was filled with the couple laughing and the baby's giggling.

"How was the meeting, darling?" Li Nana asks her husband after a while. She then put their little prince on the bed and sat at the edge of it while holding the hem of her son's clothes to prevent him from crawling further.

Philip then also sat at the edge of the bed facing his wife. He then took a deep long breath and patted his son's head. That didn't go unnoticed by Nana who's a bit of an observant. The way her husband took a deep breath she already feels something is bothering him. She looked at her husband intently.

"What happened?", she asked worriedly. "You've been stressed out lately. Care to tell me, hmm?" She added while holding his hand that was caressing their son and squeezed it gently.

Philip lifts his right hand and gently caresses his wife's cheeks. He can see that his wife is worried. And she is right, he was indeed stressed out lately. Even if he tried to hide it from Li Nana. His wife would still be able to see through him. That's how she knows him very well.

Philip looks at his wife and gives her a reassuring smile. "My dear, it's nothing serious. You don't have to worry about it"

"Darling, you can't hide anything from me. You know that right." She said, still looking at her husband, "we've known each other since we were kids. Basically we grew up together. Even if you tried to hide something, I would still be able to see through you. I know when something is bothering you."

Philip then took another deep long breath before he started telling his wife.

"We've just discovered that Mr. Kim has been doing illegal fund transfers this past few months. It's not that big of an amount but..." he then sighed as he couldn't continue what he was about to say.

Li Nana was surprised. They have known Kim Jung Hwan since they were just teenagers. They even regarded him as their older brother as he is four years older than them.

"But why?" puzzled Li Nana asked.

"I don't know. I've been trying to get a hold on him but nothing. All my efforts trying to contact him were in vain." Philip looked down. Nana can feel sadness in her husband's voice.

"I know he is a good person. Even after discovering his anomalies, I still believe that he is a good person."

"Maybe he has a reason. Which we will find out later on. Okay." She said calmly.

Philip just looked at his wife and gave her a peek on her forehead. He really loves how his wife is so calm and very understanding. He then glanced at their son who is now sleeping peacefully. The couple looked at each other and smiled lovingly. Forgetting what they have been talking about earlier. They laid beside their son. Making their little prince being in between them.
