Min-a was the first to come back to her senses. She coughed lightly, "Shin-hye, I am really glad that you like Suzy so much. However, think about Suzy's current relationship with Jennie and the others. If she really becomes your goddaughter, should Leo acknowledge her as his paternal aunt or maternal aunt?"
"Oh..." Shin-hye had not thought of that. Now that Min-a brought it up, it had put her in a difficult position.
Seeing her reaction, Min-a's eyes flickered slightly. She smiled and said, "I say, if you really like Suzy, you should bring Leo to visit me and Suzy more in the future. It is better than acknowledging her as goddaughter."
After being persuaded by Min-a, Shin-hye's enthusiasm for getting a goddaughter faded away a little. "I guess you have a point."
Min-a smiled and nodded. A mischievous smirk flashed in her eyes.
She was already upset that the daughter who she had doted on for over a year married into the Manoban family together with her precious grandson. The arrival of Suzy had made her feel better. So how could she promise to let Suzy become someone else's goddaughter?
Fortunately, Shin-hye did not continue to dwell on this, or she might really get into an argument with her over Suzy.
Jennie and the others were relieved as well when they saw Shin-hye was convinced by Min-a. Suzy seemed a little uncomfortable. She did not understand why Shin-hye would offer to become her godmother out of the blue.
While Suzy was still trying to figure out how to deal with Shin-hye's excessive enthusiasm, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside, rescuing Suzy from the awkward situation.
"What are you guys talking about?"
Suzy immediately stood up from the chair and went up to the man.
Minho's cold eyes softened a lot when he saw Suzy running toward him. He naturally hugged her. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. "I am home."
Suzy blushed and murmured, "Welcome home."
"Ahem..." Woobin, who walked in behind Minho could not help but let out a cough to remind them there were other people present when he saw them.
Suzy was startled when she heard his voice. realizing what she had done in front of so many people, she instantly blushed.
Min-a's eyes were full of smiles, though she could not bear to see her daughter-in-law being embarrassed. She took the initiative to help her out, "Alright now. Since you are home, let's have lunch now. Leo, you must be hungry now. I can hear your stomach growling."
"I am not!" Leo, who had just been exposed, blushed as well. He grudgingly defended himself in a loud voice.
Several adults were stunned by his yelling. They burst out in laughter the moment they collected themselves.
However, thanks to Leo, Suzy felt less embarrassed now compared to earlier.
The kitchen served the dishes very quickly after they were notified. The Kim family did not care too much about the formality of dining. After they were seated, they started eating and talking.
Jennie looked at the second floor and asked in puzzlement, "Mom, isn't grandpa going to join us?"
Min-a smiled and shook her head. "Your grandfather just happened to be out of town today, so he won't eat with us. Here, this is your favorite sweet and sour pork. I specially asked the kitchen to make it. Try and see if it is to your liking."
Jennie's eyes flickered slightly. She did not ask what the old man had gone out to do. She smiled as she took the sweet and sour pork that Min-a had picked up for her. She lowered her head and started eating it.
Min-a was chatting with Jennie, while Woobin was talking with Lisa and Minho about family matters and business prospects. As for Shin-hye, she was feeding her grandson with contentment while casually engaging in a small talk with Suzy. The atmosphere at the dining table was quite harmonious and warm, until...
"Jennie, Suzy, look at this. This old hen was specially brought over by our kitchen maid Mrs. Liu from her hometown. It is a native farm hen. It is very tonic. Since Jennie came back today, I had asked her to make soup with it for you two to nourish your health. Drink it while it's warm."
Min-a pointed to the chicken soup that had just been served and was going to pour a bowl for Suzy, but when Suzy saw the pot of yellow chicken soup, she abruptly stood up from her seat and ran out of the kitchen.
Everyone at the dining table was shocked by the sudden incident. They all stopped talking and looked at each other.
Jennie was the first to react. She frowned. Then, she got up and went after her.
Minho and Lisa reacted as well. They got out of the kitchen after her, leaving three adults and one kid staring at each other.
Jennie walked behind Suzy. She saw her run into the bathroom, then she heard the sound of retching coming from inside.
The all-too-familiar image made Jennie stunned for several seconds. She straightened her face and quickly walked into the bathroom to help Suzy breathe smoothly.
Suzy had not eaten much. She finally felt more comfortable after vomiting a little. Her eyes were slightly red. She was about to say something when Minho and Lisa rushed in.
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" After Minho entered the bathroom, he walked straight toward them and held Suzy in his arms. He frowned and asked.
Suzy was shocked to see Minho coming inside. "Why are you here too? I am fine, it's probably because I have been having an upset stomach lately. I felt a little nauseous when I saw oily food. It is not a big issue. You'd better go back and take care of our guests."
Minho was dissatisfied with Suzy's perfunctory answer. He said in a deep voice, "Mom and Dad will take care of them. They can manage."
After he said that, he looked Suzy up and down. He said with concern, "Are you sure you are fine? You have to tell me if you are not feeling well."
Suzy blushed slightly, but her smile was a little sweet. "I am fine, really. Don't make too much of a fuss over this."
Minho heaved a sigh of relief and was about to say something else when he heard a cough from behind him. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw the somewhat awkward expression on Jennie's face.
"Ahem. So, Minho, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
Jennie took a deep breath and asked with a serious but slightly embarrassed expression on her face, "Do you remember when was the earliest time you did it?"
"Did what?" Minho slightly frowned. After seeing Jennie's awkward and curious gaze, he realized what she meant. He asked without any expression on his face, "Why do you want to know?"
"Don't ask first. Just answer me!"
Minho gave Jennie a deep look in the eye and answered honestly, "The night I proposed to her."
Suzy did not understand Jennie's question as well at first, but after hearing Minho providing the time, she understood immediately. Her face turned as red as an apple. She wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.
"The night you proposed..." Jennie paused for a second. Then, her eyes suddenly brightened up. It had been two months since the day Minho proposed to Suzy.. Given Suzy's current condition, she might be...
