When I came back after finishing work, Grace, whose expression had completely softened due to alcohol, greeted me warmly. Judging from the situation, it seems like Danee and my mother had come over and started drinking in my absence.

Given Grace’s personality, it must have been difficult for her to refuse alcohol recommended by the adults. She was simply caught up in the moment with my family, so she did nothing wrong.

Even if she were to vomit up the food in her stomach while jumping into my arms, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

“Now that you’ve finished brushing your teeth, I’ll wash your body.”

“Hehe… hubby, you’re a pervert~”

Grace teased me with a drunken face, but she didn’t resist when I offered to wash her body.

Right now, after the disaster a while ago, I am in the bathroom with Grace, who I couldn’t hold back, washing her body.

Even though we are both women, I feel uneasy leaving Grace in their care, so it’s better for me to do it myself. It’s not like it’s difficult since it’s not the first time I’ve washed her.

Besides, the right to see Grace’s naked body belongs only to me as her husband. Even if it’s my mother or sister, I won’t allow them to touch my wife without permission.

“Hey, hubby~”

As I washed the foam off her body, Grace pressed her body against mine and said, “Ugh! Yes, what is it, honey?”

“Hehehe~”

While I answered her with the showerhead in one hand, my gaze was fixed on her smooth and white chest, which was pressed against my body so nicely, rather than her eyes.

I know it’s inappropriate to do this at a time like this, but it’s hard to resist when Grace is exposed a little, especially with my body pressed tightly against hers without any underwear. It’s not easy to stay sober in this situation.

If my mother and sister weren’t here, I would have already given in to my desires and been exploring Grace’s body without hesitation.

“I know that you like it when I do this, right? Hehe♡”

As I struggled to calm down my lower half, which seemed to swell at any moment, Grace laughed at me and whispered as she hugged my body.

Her breath on my chin, her heartbeat transmitted through our chests touching, and her thighs overlapping mine began to disrupt all my thought processes.

Moreover, my lower half was already heated to an uncontrollable level.

Goodness, this is not a joke, it’s a real dangerous situation.

“I… I like it too.”

Swallowing my saliva and avoiding eye contact, I awkwardly replied in a stiff posture.

My desire for her had reached an unbearable level, but I still had some restraint left, which prevented me from going further than I usually would.

Although my arms had been trembling for a while,

“Hehe… then~ shall I take you to the bed and cuddle you?”

Watching me in this state, Grace smiled and said, “Why the bed?”

“Why? That’s what we have to do, right? Ma-king-lo-ve♡”

Whispering seductively, Grace placed her hand on my lower half, shaking even the last bit of my rationality.

As she slowly approached to kiss me,

“And then?”

To stop any further action, I grabbed her shoulders and looked at her, shaking my head.

“Honey, how about we make a baby later?”

“No way! I want to do it now. I’ll do it now.”

“No, please wait just for today.”

“Ugh…”

Did she get disappointed in me for giving up her expectations? She pouted with a frustrated expression.

Honestly, I do want to, but my condition isn’t great due to overindulging just a few hours ago. It’s obvious that satisfying Grace in this state will be difficult. In times like this, it’s better to gracefully give up and hope for the next time.

After finishing my bath and tucking Eunhye into bed, I came out to the living room and was met with unexpected guests sitting there with smug faces.

“Did you both plan to have a kid? How much did you feed her that she can’t even control herself?”

“Well… about fifteen glasses of soju?”

“I didn’t ask about that!”

In a fit of anger, I slammed the table, prompting my older sister to correct her posture and bow her head. How old is this person that she still thinks she’s a child? Seriously, this is getting out of hand.

“Ah… forget it, getting mad now will only make me lose. Anyway, why did you both come at this hour? When did Mom return? Shouldn’t you have at least informed us beforehand?”

“If we had informed you, you would have stopped us from coming, right?”

“Not Mom, but of course, Nuna.”

“What about this kid?”

Dan’s sister hesitated to pull out her fist, but she couldn’t follow through with violence in front of Mom.

Maybe she remembered the scolding she got from Eunhye last time? No matter what, my wife is invincible.

“I didn’t give the kid alcohol without thinking. This Mom was just worried about her youngest, that’s all.”

“But what does that have to do with alcohol?”

“There’s nothing better than alcohol to reveal a person’s true nature. So, I needed to make sure that she wasn’t hanging around with you for ulterior motives.”

“You made the kid like that just for that reason?!”

Shocked, I raised my voice, and Mom hesitated, avoiding eye contact.

Why are all the women in our house like this? Better than our stern father and brothers, but Mom, Dan’s sister, and Yeon’s sister are practically equals.

“Right, Mom. What about Yeon this time?”

“…I couldn’t find her.”

Mom weakly answered my cautious question. Still no news of Yeon, who went missing during her trip to Europe ten years ago.

At the time of her disappearance, the family was determined to find Yeon, but as the years passed with no leads and the issue of succession looming, the search for her took a back seat, and for the first time, we felt a sense of unease in our household.

Even I had given up on finding Yeon.

“That damn woman… I’m afraid the Kang family bloodline is full of troublemakers…”

I remembered something my grandfather once said. He had three brothers who all died young in tragic circumstances…

If it weren’t for Mom, there wouldn’t have been anyone to hold onto Grandfather, and maybe we wouldn’t have been born.

“Yeon is next, you guys are the key figures here. Be careful and always watch your backs. Got it?”

“Why does Mom only say that to us? What about the older brothers?”

“Hyunwoo is the eldest, so he has a sense of responsibility, thankfully. Geonwoo, on the other hand, is just a greedy guy.”

Mom sighed as she sipped her coffee, and there was a brief silence among the three of us.

In recent years, I had been wandering aimlessly around the world, so I couldn’t say much, but I could somewhat understand Mom’s feelings.

If it weren’t for Eunhye, I might have met a tragic end long ago.

“Don’t worry about me. I won’t act recklessly anymore.”

“Why? Because of Eulkye?”

“I’ve already proposed, isn’t that enough to say? No matter what anyone says, I’m going to marry Eunhye, so remember that.”

“Idiot. Fool!”

Danee, with a face full of mockery, chuckled before bursting into laughter that she had to cover her mouth with her hand to stifle.

“What’s so funny when I didn’t even make a mistake in my words?”

“If it’s that Grace… I guess I can live without worrying about you, the youngest, from now on.”

In contrast to her sister, Mom casually spoke while looking towards the room where Grace was sleeping.

I may not know what happened while I was away, but it seems like Grace handled it well and even got a good score from Mom. As expected of my wife?

Well, whether Mom allowed it or not, Grace and I were planning to have a late-night drink together. And since Dad and Grandpa are on our side, Mom would be the one at a disadvantage if she opposed us.

“Ahem, is it my turn to speak now?”

“What else do you need, sis?”

As soon as Mom finished speaking, Danee, this time, intervened.

Was it not just Mom who had something to discuss? I wanted to ignore it, but the harsh reality didn’t allow me to. Danee is really annoying.

“Sunwoo, why did you spare that bastard?”

Danee’s face lost all its playfulness. Her serious demeanor was truly a rare sight.

“That bastard?”

I questioned back unexpectedly. And as if she had anticipated this, Danee propped her chin with her left hand and continued speaking.

“That bastard, you know. The one you’ve been searching for with our secretaries like a madman recently. The gardener at Olke’s, right? Did you think I wouldn’t know that you went because our people caught him?”
