I thought about kissing it as it is, but I endured it because Alec Carver, who would become my brother-in-law, was watching.
“(What were you doing?)”
“(I was looking at the flowers to decorate the wedding hall. What kind of flowers do you like, Jaegu?)”
“(I don’t know much about flowers.)”
“(Don’t do that, just pick one. Why don’t you pick the flowers for Mr. Jaegu’s parents?)”
“(Maybe? Let’s see.)”
All of them were colorful and beautiful flowers like Elisha. She was more colorful than plain.
An exceptionally colorful flower stood out among the pretty flowers.
“(What is this?)”
“(It’s lisianthus. Do you like it?)”
I liked it, but I decided to give the most gorgeous flower to the bride.
“(A flower that goes well with Elisa. I’m already looking forward to the wedding.)”
“(thank you.)”
Elisa’s cheeks blushed shyly.
Unlike his usual active attitude, his shyness at trivial moments was more attractive.
“(How about roses?)”
The roses were also coveted and pretty.
“(I like roses. And I want to decorate carnations too.)”
“(Carnations are also pretty.)”
Carnations were also the best for parents.
“(It would be really pretty if you mix them together. Mr. Jaegu, you have a good sense for choosing flowers.)”
“(It’s thanks to Elisa-san’s help. The flowers are so luscious and pretty.)”
“(All the flowers grown here are pretty. Thank you for coming on time.)”
Elisa lightly kissed my cheek. I also lightly kissed her on the forehead. She smiled and pushed me lightly.
“(Make-up is removed.)”
“(It’s pretty even if it’s erased.)”
At those words, Elisa looked up at me with hot eyes. I guess it’s time for a hot kiss…
“(The two of them. We’re going on our honeymoon soon, so why don’t we be patient?)”
“(Ah. I’m sorry.)”
Alec Carver was right. We were supposed to go on our honeymoon right after the wedding.
Elisa pouted slightly.
“(Sometimes he asked me to get married soon and show my nephew…)”
“(hahahaha. I like your nephew. Your new nephew is cute too?)”
“(Are you talking about Hayeon? She’s not just cute, she’s really nice.)”
“(okay?)”
“(Yes. I guess it’s because he looks like Mr. Jaegu.)”
Alec Carver shrugged.
“(Then I’m going to lose my teeth, so the two of you go and see your parents at least.)”
“(all right.)”
Alec Carver grinned and vacated his seat.
Elisa grabbed my arm and pulled it.
“(What should I do?)”
“(What?)”
“(Do you want to go see Jaegu’s parents first? Or do you want to see my parents first?)”
My parents had just entered the dorm, so it seemed like they needed a break.
“(I’m going to see Elisa’s parents first.)”
“(Okay. This way)”
Following Elisa, we arrived at the central lodging. she knocked on the door
“(That’s me.)”
“(Elisa? What happened?)”
My mother-in-law opened the door. Behind her was the figure of the father-in-law.
“(Oh, honey. The son-in-law is here.)”
When the mother-in-law shouted at the father-in-law, the father-in-law stood up.
“(Hello. Father-in-law. Mother-in-law)”
“(Come in.)”
William Carver, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, had a fairly stubborn impression. Certainly, his expression was more solemn than when Alec Carver was with him.
Still, I couldn’t rely on Alec Carver forever.
“(Come in.)”
Still, my mother-in-law smiled kindly, so I was able to breathe. I took a seat in front of the two of them. As the silence continued, there was a sense of tension.
‘Can I open my mouth first?’
It was always difficult to sit with the in-laws.
As the housekeeper prepared tea on the table, my mother-in-law pushed the cup in front of me.
“(listen.)”
“(thank you.)”
William Carver closed his mouth and looked at me. Elisa’s soft hand gripped my hand tightly.
When the temperature was transmitted, the tension was relieved a little.
William Carver opened his mouth.
“(Have you ever been divorced?)”
“(yes.)”
Ha-yeon was there too, so it was hard not to notice. Since it was a family with money, they must have investigated my background.
“(Marriage is an important thing. Did you know that it is not something you can just quit just because it’s difficult?)”
“(Yes. Father-in-law.)”
I thought you already knew that I was divorced. William Carver looked at me with burning eyes.
The saliva went down.
“(Can we live without getting divorced this time?)”
“(Yes. Until the end of my life, I will try to create a happy family with Elisa.)”
“(Are you serious?)”
“(yes!)”
Seriously, I met his eyes.
My divorce with Seo Eun-chae was not something I led either. As the head of the family, I did my best, was faithful to my family, and looked up to heaven without any shame.
William Carver sighed with satisfaction.
“(Yes. I wanted to hear that resolution. Please take good care of Elisa from now on.)”
William Carver reached out to me.
I thought I would ask in more detail because I had a history of divorce, but that was the end of the question.
grabbed his hand
“(Thank you, father-in-law.)”
After that, we talked about the direction of the wedding. It was a story about what parents should prepare for, and about the order of the meal.
I didn’t forget to talk about having dinner together tonight.
“(Yes. Father-in-law.)”
The parents had met once before, but it was the first time Ha-yeon saw them. I thought it would be nice to have a good meeting.
After the conversation, we left the dorm.
Elisa came next to me and whispered.
“(My father seems to like Jaegu too.)”
“(is that so?)”
“(Of course. How strict a person is by the way.)”
she burst out laughing.
“(I’m glad you liked it.)”
“(It’s because Jae-goo is a good person. My father has a good eye for people.)”
Elisa crossed her arms to me.
“(Then let’s go see Jaegu’s parents.)”
I brought Elisha into the room where my parents were staying. Elisha greeted the two of them.
“Father. Mother. Hello.”
It was almost perfect pronunciation.
“Welcome, Sae-ah. She speaks Korean well.”
“Are you leaking?”
“(It means daughter-in-law.)”
“Ah! Yes. Mother.”
We sat around the sofa and talked.
It was a bit awkward, but thanks to Elisa’s hard work studying Korean, her parents were very happy.
“Elisa. When did you study Korean so hard?”
“Jaegoo studied English, too.”
She smiled.
English was necessary to do business anyway, but I was grateful that I didn’t have to study Korean.
“It’s not just a pretty face, it’s also a good heart.”
“thank you.”
Elisa bowed her head and expressed her gratitude.
“What about Hayeon?”
“Now. You must be very tired.”
“I’m going to have dinner with my in-laws later, isn’t it okay?”
“of course!”
Dad interrupted. William Carver and his father unexpectedly got along well because the gag code was right.
“I tried to prepare food that suits the taste of the two of you, but I don’t know if you will like it.”
“American food is also delicious.”
“American food is the best.”
The parents gave Elisa a thumbs up. Elisha blushed and smiled as if embarrassed.
In the middle of the conversation, Ha-yeon woke up and walked outside. When the child saw Elisha, he smiled brightly and waved his hand.
“sister!”
“Ha Yeon-ah, how are you?”
Ha-yeon ran and hugged Elisha. Elisa picked up the child and sat it on her lap.
‘Maybe he’s quick-witted.’
Normally, she would have come running to me, but after reading the atmosphere and talking to Elisa, I thought that I would not be neglected anywhere.
“I missed you.”
“I also missed Hayeon.”
I was relieved because the two seemed to be getting along well. I was worried that I would shy away from seeing him for the first time in a long time, but it was over.
“Are you two friends?”
“sure.”
Although they were of different races, they looked like mother and daughter. I was happy to see the future being drawn.
‘I have to be really nice to Elisa.’
Such a good woman was never to be missed.
While we were having a conversation, someone knocked on the door.
“(who are you?)”
“(Dinner is ready.)”
Outside the door stood a man who appeared to be an employee. Elisa rose from her seat.
“I’ve prepared a delicious meal. Let’s go eat together.”
It’s still a bit awkward to say honorifics, but at this level, you’re doing extremely well.
My parents laughed and got up from their seats.
“let’s go.”
***
Unlike the meeting ceremony, the dining table was set up with Ha-yeon in place of Alec Carver. When we arrived, the in-laws were already seated and waiting.
My father reached out to William Carver.
“In-laws. It’s been a while.”
“(It’s been a while. In-law.)”
The two shook hands lightly and sat down. The mothers exchanged glances with each other and exchanged greetings with smiles.
William Carver’s gaze turned to Ha-yeon, who was holding Elisa’s hand.
“(Are you Hayeon?)”
“(Hello. Grandpa.)”
Ha-yeon bowed her belly button.
A soft smile appeared on William Carver’s face when he saw it. He rummaged through his pockets and pulled out something.
“(It’s as cute as I heard. Take this.)”
Hayeon held out her hands and blinked her eyes.
“(what it this?)”
“(It’s pocket money.)”
A $100 bill was placed in the child’s hand. said William Carver in a soft voice.
“(Buy some sweets and eat them.)”
Ha-yeon looked at me.
I nodded and the child gave another belly button bow.
“(thank you.)”
