The Wife Is A Superstar 8

Chapter 1454 Presents for the Children

The next day, Hoyeon was true to her word. She asked Jennie's lawyer, Atty. Hong Shao, to help draft a new visitation agreement for Donghwi.

When he received it at his office at Kim Industries, he took a pen from his assistant and immediately signed it without any complaints. After sending the special courier away, he wrote a string of numbers on a piece of paper and handed it to his assistant.

He instructed, "Open a bank account for my son and deposit this amount every month. Give extra for special occasions like birthdays. Get a supplementary card and send it to the child's mother. Tell her that it's my son's child support."

Although he had already been giving child support before this, doing this now would make it more official. Now that it had come to this point, he would follow the arrangement down to the last exact word. He didn't want to provide Hoyeon with any ammunition to bar him from seeing their son.

There was also no hope for the two of them anymore. She was now married to another man. He saw her pure, unadulterated hatred toward him yesterday.

If not for him swallowing his pride and kneeling in front of her yesterday, then he would've already lost his chance to be a father to their son.

Perhaps this was for the best.

"Any other instructions, sir?" his assistant asked.

He brought back his thoughts to the present. "Buy some toys and gifts that my son might like."

"Understood, sir."

He hesitated before adding, "Also buy some toys for my nephews. Four of them—the Manoban twins and the Kwon twins."

"Yes, sir. I'll take care of it right away."

He nodded. His assistant was about to leave to do his bidding but he called him back.

"Yes, sir?"

"Did...did my sister come to the office today?" he asked.

The assistant blinked a few times before realizing who he was talking about. "Oh, Deputy CMO Kim?"

"Yes."

"I'm not sure, sir. But I'll check it for you."

"Alright, go." he waved him away.

About ten minutes later, his assistant called him on the phone.

"Sir, Deputy CMO Kim didn't come to the office today," his assistant reported. "I heard that the CMO gave her special permission to work from home for a few days after hearing about what happened to her nephew, er, your son, sir."

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself. "Okay, got it. Go do your tasks."

"Yes, sir."

The call ended.

He stood up and gazed at the concrete skyline of the business district from his office's glass windows.

How come Jennie got special permission to work from home but he didn't?

He was the father. She was only the aunt.

Granted, Little Jun was recuperating in her home, but it still felt unfair to him.

Everything felt unfair.

Now, however, he just felt exhausted.

The usual hatred he usually felt for Jennie had now been transferred to his ex-wife, Mao Qiu, and former in-laws. If not for the Maos, then his son wouldn't have been kidnapped and tortured.

"Mao Qiu!" He hissed, his eyes filled with burning hatred. "You and your equally despicable family better not show yourselves in front of me, or I swear I'll send you to hell myself!"

Later that day, Jennie and Lisa looked at each other as the butler handed them two big wrapped boxes addressed to their twins. The sender was Donghwi.

The butler mentioned that he also sent a bigger present to his son, Little Jun.

"Leave it here, thank you," Jennie said.

The butler bowed before leaving.

Before they could decide what to do with the presents, Jennie's phone rang. It was Jisoo.

"Did Big Brother Hwi send presents to your twins?" she asked.

Jennie raised an eyebrow. "Yes, he did. Your twins got presents from him, too?"

"Yes. Jiyong almost threw them into the trash but I stopped him in time. What did he get for Little Mochi and Little Matcha? I opened the ones he sent to my sons and they're mostly cute toys and clothes. Little Misha is now sucking on a stuffed panda. Little Dima doesn't look very interested in any of them, though."

"We haven't opened the presents yet," Jennie said.

A few seconds pause.

Then Jisoo said, "Ruby, I think our eldest brother is starting to change for the better. I heard what happened yesterday from Jae and Alice. If he can kneel and humble himself like that, then maybe—"

"Big Sister," Jennie interrupted. "I know what you're trying to say. Whether he changes or not is up to him. I'll only believe his actions, not his promises. If he can change for the better, then good! I'll be so happy for Little Jun. It's as simple as that."

Another pause.

"Alright, Ruby," Jisoo finally said with a sigh. "I'll talk to you again later. It's time for me to feed your nephews."

The two women bid each other goodbye and ended the phone call.

"Should we open the presents?" Lisa asked.

Jennie thought about it for a couple of seconds. "Sure. Let our sons open their presents by themselves."

Lisa carried the presents while they headed to the nursery together.

Levi got very excited when his parents told him that an uncle gave him and his twin brother presents. He didn't know which uncle his parents were talking about, but it didn't matter. He had a lot of uncles who doted on him anyway. He would just thank all of them when they came to visit next time.

"Yah yah yah!" He couldn't contain his excitement.

Liam, on the other hand, was less excited. He still showed interest but wasn't as showy about it as his twin brother.

The two of them first worked together on opening the first box. When they finally tore off the wrapper, they checked the contents one by one. Levi squealed with delight as he shook a toy robot, but Liam pulled him to open the second box before he could forget.

Jennie and Lisa laughed at their twins' antics.
