I was nervous as I pulled up to Gangnam-gu, which was one of the wealthiest places in South Korea.
This was where a lot of the Chaebols lived which was quite fitting since Shiwoo-I mean Mr. Kim was a third generation heir.
I had heard a great deal about these people that live here and as expected these people are uptight and classy so I knew from the get go that I would not fit here.
I had never imagined, not once in my life moving to Korea, that I would be pulling up to Gangnam-gu because my baby's father grew up here.
It was like something of a Kdrama to be honest.
I had told my kids from they were in the car to be on their best behavior for we will be coming face to face with not only some of Korea's most famous billionaires, but also their other family.
I had dressed them in the nicest clothes that they had and they looked so cute yet sophisticated, Adriel with her little dress and bow and Adrian with his tuxes and tie.
I was wearing a elegant yet simple blue dress that hugged my body and now I was starting to regret it for I didn't want to come off as a money hungry gold digging slut by my tight dress.
I didn't bring any back up clothes so I had no choice, but to unbuckle the kids and got the gift that I had brough for their grandma.
A few seconds after ringing the bell at the gate I saw a nicely dressed man walked over to us smiling politely as he gave us 90 degrees bow.
The twins and I returned his welcome by too smiling and bowing and they held onto my hands as we entered through the gates.
I wish I had somebody's hand to hold as I hid behind there leg as what the twins were doing for I too was nervous and a tad bit scared.
My prayers were thankfully answered when I saw Shiwoo waiting for us at the door as we exited the elevator.
"New daddy!" yelled Adrian as he saw him and let go of my hand to ran into his rms.
Adriel on the other hand still held onto my hand as she hid behind my leg and I held her tight as we made our way to where to boys were waiting.
"Hi" I said nervously as he eyed me up and down and I blushed a little when he said "wow".
"Adry baby say hi to daddy." I encouraged and he smiled wide as she gave him a 90 degrees bow.
I had taught her that it was a huge form of respect to her Korean side and Shiwoo was elated that she have him that respect.
They must have made progress during their days together for she came home daily smiling and said she couldn't wait for tomorrow, but when he picked them up the next day she would give him a cold shoulder as if she didn't care.
Elise was something else.
"Shall we go inside?" he asked staring into my eyes and I nodded my head yes so I held onto to Elise's hand as he held Elisa's
Inside was even more beautiful than I had imagined and there were more people than I had imagined.
Every one there looked and smelled rich and once again I fell out of place, but then I felt Shiwoo's hand snaked around my face and I felt butterflies, but it also felt nice.
"So, I forgot to ask, but what is the occasion?" I whispered as he led us towards where his dad was talking to some other men.
"It's my mom's birthday." he whispered into my ear and his lips gently brushed my lobe and I felt a shiver ran down my spine.
"Sorry to interrupt, but father Miss Carter is here and look. She brought the little ones." he said gushing at them and I smiled shyly as I set my eyes on the floor.
"Miss Carter I didn't know that you had kids. They are quite lovely aren't they." he said also gushing and the men around him agreed, "yes lovely, quite lovely, beautiful children."
"Ah thank you Mr. Kim and thank you for having me" I replied bowing 90 degrees and the twins saw and followed.
Mr. Kim laughed at their gesture and he lifted both of them in his arms, "and may I ask these beautiful babies what their names are?"
"I am Adrian" he said giggling and I saw Mr. Kim's eyes widened.
"No way. His Korean is so good." he complimented, "I never expected for his pronunciation to be so good at such a young age. Do you also teach them English?"
I opened my mouth to answer his question when little Miss Adriel beat me to it, "hello Mr. Sir's father, My name is Adriel Elise Carter and I am older than him. Our mother actually taught us eight languages, but we are only fluent in Korean and English. We have an extensive vocabulary and we are only one year and a few months old. We turn two on March the first. We have watched the movie 'Baby Genius' and we feel as if we belong there. Any more questions?"
By the time she was finished every body except me and Shiwoo's mouths were opened for their didn't expect that much from her.
I honestly never expected for her to say that much either since she was only that talkative around people she knew, but I guess it came from the fac that she was always competing with her brother and had to be number one, especially since he got complimented.
Although she always has a lot of smart things to say, she was still a baby with a baby voice and sometimes her words are inaudible, but they are clear enough to understand
"Oh, umm-wow. She is-she is really uhh smart." said Mr. Kim at a loss for words and Adriel grinned at his compliment feeling accomplished for one upping her brother.
He on the other hand didn't mind and busied himself with the pin that was on his shirt.
"Thank you. I try to teach them as much as I can and I read to them every night and I don't do baby talk with them."
"Well whatever you are doing keep doing it for you have two amazing kids here." he said as he placed them back on their feet and they ran towards the table where there was a lady giving snacks to the rest of the kids, "Miss Carter I didn't know that you were married."
I chuckled nervously as I stole glances at Shiwoo who was in turn stealing glances at me, "I am not actually."
Mr. Kim looked confused as he looked between the both of us and he excused him self from the men as he led us both towards an empty corner, "what is going on?"
Shiwoo and I looked at each other and I signaled for him to go ahead and tell him, but we were interrupted by the sound of applause as Mrs. Kim entered the room.
"We will talk later." said Mr. Kim in a serious tone before leaving and I nodded my head yes.
Shiwoo held onto my waist as he led me to the dining room where there people already seated for the dinner.
He pulled out my chair for me and I thanked him as he sat beside me.
I scanned the room for heads of curly hair not remembering where I last saw them and I let out a sigh of relief when I saw them at the kid's table having fun.
Things were going okay so far and I had my fingers crossed as his mother finally made eye contact with me and her smile faded.
Oh boy.
