I want to go home.

We are still staying at my in-laws’ house.

We can’t cause any trouble anymore, as everything from being able to give birth to Seong-ah without any issues to being able to have a stable postpartum care is all thanks to my in-laws.

But now that we are trying to leave, we are being tied down by the adults who are feeling hurt.

It’s just my luck that I’m a novice mom again, and I can’t seem to do anything in this situation where I think it would be better for Seong-ah to have my mom and the housemaids who have experience in childcare.

But I can’t just sit still. What should I do?

“Ooh, ah! Ah!”

“Ah, Seong-ah is so good.”

My husband looks at Seong-ah crawling towards him with a cute voice, clutching his heart. Some people are deeply worried, but they can’t seem to read the atmosphere!

Well, that’s understandable. It’s only natural for a father to react that way to his daughter. Even I can’t help but smile when I hear Seong-ah’s voice, but my husband must be even more touched. With his hair color and eye color resembling my husband’s, his heart must resonate more with him.

But why do the adults say that Seong-ah looks more like me? It’s strange.

“Oba! Oba!”

“Ah, Seong-ah is looking for daddy again?”

My husband’s face, holding Seong-ah in his arms, is filled with a bright smile. How adorable must a daughter be to make him smile like that when she only looks for her dad?

“Oba! Oba!”

Seong-ah, who is in his arms, is reaching out with his small hands towards me. Yes, Seong-ah is calling for his dad, not my husband… he’s looking for me. It’s a fact that I haven’t told anyone, but Seong-ah has never looked for his dad. It may seem cold, but that’s the reality.

No one suspects anything because I always stick close to my husband.

“Oba!”

Before he can speak properly, I should teach him the word ‘mom.’ Oba has graduated? Now he’s a respectable mom. Mom.

“Our princess, does daddy like her so much? Ahh! Seong-ah is so cute, what should I do!”

Oh my, this spoiled child is really something. Even if she’s your daughter, there should be a limit. Control yourself.

“…What about me?”

Look at me a little, mister.

“Hmm?”

Resting his chin on my husband’s shoulder, I puff up my cheeks.

“I like my husband the most. I like him the most. Am I not cute?”

You shouldn’t just look at your daughter in front of your beloved wife. Kang Sun-woo, look at me.

“Well… of course you’re cute. Being cute is natural.”

“But honey, lately you’ve been paying more attention to Seong-ah and ignoring me. What if Seong-ah says she wants to marry her dad, would you marry her right away out of fear?”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about! How much do I love you, my dear!”

My husband’s complexion as he says this looks very bad. He looks pale. Seong-ah seems to find it strange and intriguing to see her dad like that.

“Is that so? Then prove it.”

“How should I prove it?”

My husband’s voice trembles nervously. Proof… It was my idea, but I hadn’t thought of anything specific. I should have thought a little before speaking. I’ve been holding it in for a while, so should I suggest it once Seong-ah falls asleep? Honestly, being in the bed where we spent our first night together makes me want to do it without thinking. I want to make a baby. I want to be forced by his big, bold body.

“Put in the second one.”

“Phew!”

Whispering that fantasy into my husband’s ear, he seemed quite surprised. Maybe he easily imagined it? He seems to be showing a reaction down there too. It’s getting bigger.

“Hehe, just kidding~ It’s just a joke, so don’t worry, my dear husband.”

“Please, don’t make jokes like that because it’s not good for my heart.”

My husband sighs as he looks at me, who is smiling mischievously.

Could he have said that sincerely? What do you have to worry about? Don’t you trust your wife? How could you even think that! Even though there are things that bother me, this is going too far! Just let it go! Let it go!

…I’ve become too emotional. It’s a relief that I didn’t show it outwardly.

“I’m sorry~ Oh, right. It’s time for our Seonga to have her milk, isn’t it?”

Apologizing insincerely, I carefully hold Seonga in my husband’s arms. It seems like my husband is feeling quite upset as our beloved daughter is moving away, but there’s nothing we can do about it. You’re not the one who breastfeeds her.

“Ah! Ah!”

Seonga smiles brightly as I hold her in my arms.

I had decided that I would hug her tightly when we meet again, but who would have thought it would be like this?

Well, we were siblings back then, not mother and daughter, so there was no other way.

“Right, right. Seonga must be very hungry, right?”

Seonga sucks on my breast with such vigor that it’s scary how she opens up her chest. Even though she’s such a small child, her sucking power is extraordinary. It’s on a different level from when she sucked on my husband.

She didn’t even drink formula or let anything other than my milk touch her mouth, so I can’t even imagine how much she must have suffered at first… The shock of receiving breast massages when I didn’t even think I had milk is still fresh in my mind.

Well, thanks to a skilled masseuse. Even though I’m a naughty cosmic being who only brightens breasts, my skills are undeniable.

But is this really delicious that she’s eating it? I’m curious.

“Ahem…”

Suddenly, my husband coughs.

Could it be that he’s developed a breast-loving disease? As I turn my head, I see his gaze fixed on my chest.

No, it’s a bit different. While his gaze is on my chest, he’s actually watching Seonga suck on my breast.

Oh my, could my husband be…?

“Hehe~? Does our eldest son also want some milk?”

“Oh, no! You’re unbelievable. What are you doing in front of the child?”

Despite saying no, he can’t take his eyes off the milk.

Don’t worry, I can understand.

Since he’s always liked breasts, it’s natural for him to be curious.

“Is that so? What should I do with this?”

I squeeze my empty breast and show my husband the dripping milk.

“I’ve been giving one side, so the other side is overflowing~ What should I do about this?”

From that day on, I started breastfeeding my eldest son every night. Well, I’ll just give the second one instead of trying to balance it…

“Ah~ Kyaa!”

“Right, right. Now Seonga even smiles at her aunt?”

Seonga, in her grandmother’s arms, smiles at her uncle Dan. It’s a family gathering, but all eyes are on Seonga in this situation.

Especially grandmother, who wanted to see her grandson, and grandfather, who has lost his usual expression and looks puzzled.

Grandfather has been clenching his chest since earlier… What will happen if something goes wrong?

“Even father… wants to hold his great-granddaughter once…”

Grandfather’s face is frightening. Seonga starts crying.

“So, what are you two going to do now?”

Mother returns to her usual self and speaks. Yes. Now that there are three of us, there are many things to think about and take care of.

Mother’s words probably mean it’s time to come back to reality.

“First, we should take Seonga back home-”

“That’s not possible.”

Mother cuts off my husband’s statement in one fell swoop.

“Do you have any thoughts? You’re not always going to stay at home. Even though you’re just a daughter-in-law, Eunhye is like a daughter to us, and I can’t stand seeing only the one she meets being taken care of.”

“Oh… I’m fine, Mother.”

“I’m not fine.”

It’s a bit uncomfortable that you care so much. And to think of me not just as a daughter-in-law but as a daughter… My mouth won’t stop turning down.

I’m worried that I might accidentally start calling her Mom.

“At least stay here until Seonga is old enough to go to daycare. That way, the adults can relax.”

And then Mother added, “And as a granddaughter I’ve gained, I want to see you a little longer.”

Oh, for that long?

“But that’s too much…”

“I must have asked too much of you.”

Mother looks sad. Father, grandfather, even Danni hyung-nim, all have a similar look. Ugh… Please don’t make that face.

“…Then, would it be okay for me to be indebted until then?”

“Whether it’s okay or not!”

The adults at the in-laws suddenly brighten up. Did I fall for something? Were these people also the type to take advantage of weak-hearted people because it’s fun?

“Ah!”

I almost stopped breathing in Seonga’s clear eyes looking straight at me. All my dissatisfaction towards the adults disappeared.

So cute!!! I’m so lucky to have such an angelic child as my daughter!

Alright. For Seonga, this place is the best environment, so I’ll let it slide.

When the weather clears up, shall we go flower viewing in the garden? I’ve always wanted to go on a family outing!

“…But I hope you won’t make any noise near our room at night.”

Saying that, my husband glanced at me, his face slightly blushing.

Hehehe… I’m looking forward to tonight.
