"Chan, hurry up, it's morning!" Rindi said waking up her husband who didn't know what time he slept last night.
Rindi had already fallen asleep near Stefano who was still busy continuing his work. Stefano squirmed then woke up startled.
"Why did you just wake me up? It's already noon, I haven't prayed at dawn," Stefano said surprised.
Rindi frowned in confusion, the beautiful woman then laughed a little. Rindi hit Stefano's arm lightly.
"You forgot or what? Didn't you wake me up and we prayed together? After that, you slept again," Rindi said, still laughing.
Stefano tilted his head, is it true? He could forget so quickly. Rindi laughed even more at her husband's expression.
"Go take a shower quickly! We're going home this afternoon. Jay said you two have to go to Busan right?" Rindi continued again.
Stefano nodded his head and then smiled. Stefano got out of bed, and the cold man then walked to the bathroom. But his steps stopped in front of the door, Stefano returned to Rindi who was sitting on the bed. Then quickly planted a kiss on Rindi's cheek, then ran into the bathroom.
"Yes! Why did it startle me like that," said Rindi who was indeed surprised and held her cheek with a smile.
Stefano's laughter exploded from inside the bathroom. Rindi shook her head with a smile.
Outside the room, Rindi's mother-in-law was smiling happily hearing her son and daughter-in-law joking. At least they both love each other.

Victor and Jay had just left the room when suddenly Stefano's father landed a hard punch on Stefano's face. Stefano fell to the ground, Rindi screamed and ran to her husband.
"Chan, are you all right?" Rindi asked worriedly.
"Yeobo!" Stefano's mother screamed and then held her husband so he wouldn't continue hitting Stefano.
"Don't stop me from beating him, you know I'm so ashamed to have a son like him."
Stefano's father was furious and pointed at Fano who was grimacing, holding his aching jaw. Rindi helped her husband up, and Victor and Jay together approached Rindi and Fano.
"He's not just a pretend husband. It turns out he also betrayed his wife. What have I done to Rindi? I kicked him out yesterday, you know that."
Stefano's father spoke with overflowing anger. Everyone was flabbergasted and opened their mouths while looking at Rindi who had tears in her eyes.
"What man betrays his wife when she is pregnant!"
Stefano's father spoke again and threw his cell phone roughly, which then fell right under Stefano's feet.
Stefano took the phone and saw his photo being hugged by Hyu Jin. Stefano's facial expression looked very panicked. Stefano immediately looked at Rindi.
"It's not what you think, Rin. I can explain everything," Stefano said, afraid that Rindi would misunderstand the photo. Rindi herself just silently looked at Stefano.
Victor and Jay looked at each other in disbelief at the photo they had just seen. Stefano's father grabbed his cell phone roughly and then looked sharply at Fano.
"Appa, I'm really ashamed to have a child like you. How, Appa, to face this wife of yours, whom you have betrayed ha? How do you get rid of heartache over your words, Appa to Rindi, Chan!"
Stefano's father is getting angry and is about to hit Fano again. Rindi quickly held her father-in-law's hand as best she could.
"Aboenim, calm down! It's not like what Aboenim thinks. We can explain everything, but calm down first!" Rindi said trying to calm her father-in-law.
"That's right, Rindi. You calm down first, it's a pity that your child is pregnant, what if your grandson in there also feels sad to see you angry."
Rindi's mother-in-law helped her husband calm down. Stefano's father glanced at Rindi. He felt sorry for Rindi. How could he tell Rindi to leave Stefano? It was clear that his son had made a lot of mistakes.
Stefano's father took a deep breath and then let go of Rindi's hand. Rindi's father-in-law then left, leaving everyone there. Stefano's mother took a deep breath and then looked at Rindi. However, the middle-aged woman was surprised. Stefano's mother can still smile at Rindi.
"Calm down, honey! Remember don't cry too much it's not good for your baby. Eomma will calm your Appa first."
After speaking like that, Rindi's mother-in-law went to follow her husband. Rindi sighed and then fixed her hair. Rindi turned to her husband, Rindi also grimaced when he saw his husband's lips were cracked because of the blow from his father-in-law.
"Rin, you don't think the same as Appa do you? I didn't betray you," Stefano said trying to convince Rindi that the photo was not what his father had in mind.
Victor hit Stefano's arm hard.
"Yeah! Hyung, how come you can cuddle with the snake woman?" said Victor angrily.
"Hey! Don't go into a corner, Stefano. Let him explain first," said Jay scolding Victor.
Rindi looked at Stefano and then took a deep breath.
"Vic, can you treat the wound, Chan first? I want to make a drink for you first so that you all calm down," said Rindi which was then responded to with a nod by Victor.
"Rin, don't make any drinks. I don't need that..."
Before Stefano finished speaking, Victor and Jay had taken Stefano to the living room to treat his wound. Rindi shook her head she deep breath.
***
Rindi was hugged by her mother-in-law warmly.
"Honey, remember Eomma's message. Don't cry too much," Stefano's mother said softly.
Rindi nodded in agreement. Rindi then released her embrace, caught her mother-in-law's hand, and kissed the back of her mother-in-law's hand. Rindi then kissed the back of her father-in-law's hand as well.
"Aboenim, sorry if we came to bring trouble," said Rindi later.
"Not you but, Chan. If Appa finds out he's playing with the snake woman again, he'll be finished because, Appa," said Rindi's father-in-law.
"That's right, she's a snake," said Victor without being asked.
Jay elbowed Victor quickly, how could Victor interrupt like that? Victor turned to Jay and then smiled showing a row of white teeth.
"Be careful in Seoul, don't hesitate to call Appa and Eomma to come. Sorry, Appa for being rude," continued Rindi's father-in-law full of regret.
Rini smiled and nodded in agreement. Now it was Stefano's turn to kiss his parents' hands. But Stefano didn't make a sound in the slightest.
Stefano's father also remains cold to his son. Even though Rindi explained it, Stefano's father didn't necessarily believe everything.
The four of them were now walking hand in hand towards the ferry crossing. Rindi had been silent all this time, even though her hand was still holding Fano. Still,l Rindi did not make a sound at all.
"Rin? Is Fano's father right? You were kicked out by him?" Jay asked who had been keeping his curiosity for a long time.
Rindi turned to Jay and then nodded slowly. Then Rindi turned to look at Stefano.
"It's true that a father might say something like that to me. His only child has sacrificed a lot for me, even to the point of sacrificing his job. It turned out to be that selfish, I was," Rindi said without turning away from Stefano's face.
Hearing his wife's words, Stefano stopped walking and looked at Rindi as well. Victor and Jay also stopped walking and stared at Rindi in disbelief at what they heard.
"Rin, can you not come to think about it? I stopped being a producer by my choice, not because I sacrificed for you."
Stefano's tone was getting emotional. Rindi looked at Stefano and then took a short breath. Rindi held Stefano's chest slowly.
"Patience, don't be angry anymore. Let's go again, We have to go back to Seoul soon."
Rindi tries to stay calm in the face of Fano, who is frantic at the moment.
"Right, let's continue walking, Hyung!"
Victor changed the subject and then dragged Stefano quickly, if he was dealing with Victor as angry as Fano, then the cold man would remain silent, maybe he could only snort in annoyance.
Jay and Rindi smiled faintly seeing that Victor could lighten the mood. Jay then invited Rindi to continue walking towards the ferry crossing port.
