Little devil U-Jin had consumed Yongsun's and Yoonah's energy during the weekend that Moonbyul needed to travel on business.

Now, mother and daughter were trying to relax inside the bathtub while the cute 2-year-old was exhausting James in the yard.

The 11-year-old blonde girl was sitting between Yongsun's legs and the accountant was washing her hair.

____ Mom?

____ Yes, sweetie?____ The brunette asked with a soft tone.

 ____ You know that my mother is madly in love with you, don't you?

_____ Is she?____ A sudden grin popped on the brunette's face.

_____ Well, I don't know exactly what love is but...she seems genuinely happy and calm when you are with her. And her face lights up when she sees you. I never saw mother like that before she met you.

_____ Your mother changed my life too. So did you.____ Yongsun's voice sounded shaky.

_____ Mom, what do you feel about omma? Do you think you love her? Like for real?____ Yoonah rested her head on the brunette's chest.

Joy all over her face, the accountant sighed deeply and spoke:

____ Before I met you guys, I thought I knew what love was. But I was just familiar with the theory of it. Our story is so atypical and crazy. Who would imagine that the surrogate and the biological mother could become a couple? 

_____ I didn't plan but very soon I thought you two might.____ Yoonah giggled.

____ Smart girl. Hehehehehehe Anyway...I fell in love with your mother as soon as she showered me with affection and care. At first, I believed she was doing only for the baby. But then, I could see she was genuinely gentle, dedicated, soft...

____ Mom...

____ Yes, Yoo?

____ You're not drooling on me, are you?____ The British-Korean girl laughed.

Yongsun cracked up before kissing the girl's head and hugging her.

_____ I love you. You know that, don't you?

_____ Love you too, mom.____ Yoonah exhaled, pleased with their exchange of tenderness.

____ Baby, why did you ask me about my feelings? Are you by any chance...liking someone?____ The black-haired woman asked carefully.

____ Oh, nothing like that. I still don't have an interest in people, mom. Just wondered why you and mother aren't married. Father suggested that it was a lack of time to go to a place where it's legal. ____ Yoonah spoke in her usual mature and British way.

Yongsun was taken aback by that comment but laughed once again.

Her daughter had such a natural way to approach difficult topics that amazed her.

_____ We talked about marriage a couple of times when your brother was younger but it didn't feel like the right moment. Or I chickened down.____ The accountant confessed and laughed.
