Chapter 314 - 313: Happy To See Her Four Children Together
Eunji decided to speak in English so everyone could understand.
Mei and Sana gasped as soon as they heard about it.
"Child, don\'t tell me she\'s our..." Mei asked Eunji in Nihonggo and the latter nodded in confirmation making them to be emotional.
How did she miss this fact when she see the little girl\'s photo earlier?
Mei clasped her hands together as she held into Sana\'s wheelchair for support.
But the more surprised were the two brothers with their cute shocked reaction.
However, Sophie remained calm.
Among the triplets, she already knew about them. So she was least surprised as she heard that but meeting them for the first time after their long separation really meant so much for her.
She\'s no longer alone and that fact delighted her.
A warm smile then flashed in her small face and she spread her arms as wide as she could as she beckoned for a hug.
And the brothers immediately rushed in to hug her.
The three giggled and they held each others hand jumped around in happiness like they were in a merry go round.
"Careful!" Eunji reminded them as they almost bumped the corner of the coffee table.
Eunji\'s eyes had turned moist when she saw the happiness in her children\'s eyes.
She wiped a tear or two off her face as she didn\'t want to ruin the mood.
Not only Eunji but every adult in the room had become emotional, too. They were secretly wiping the tears that they didn\'t know had fallen from their eyes.
It was such a sweet reunion.
Even the always calm Little Aoi was smiling as he was genuinely happy to be reunited with his sister, too.
The triplets had never felt this complete and happy ever since.
"I knew it! That\'s why you look and feel familiar!" Little Midori exclaimed and he hugged Sophie again.
Meanwhile, Little Aoi turned his attention to the two unfamiliar adults in the room.
He then walked towards Layla who was looking back at him with gentle and loving eyes.
"Hello! You resembled my mom. Are you perhaps my other grandmother?" Little Aoi asked Layla in English.
Layla then got down to his level to maintain good eye contact with the child.
Layla then looked at Eunji to ask if he could understand Hangul.
Eunji was quite unsure as they spoke in either Mandarin or Nihonggo and flipped in either language when she talked to them.
She felt embarrassed as a mother for knowing less about her two sons.
"It\'s okay, we can understand Hangul a little." Little Aoi said.
"How?"
"Dad taught us but mostly, self-taught." He explained.
"Oh dear! You\'re so cute! Well, yes. I am your other grandma. I\'m Grandma Layla. What\'s your name?" Layla responded in Hangul.
"Hello Grandma Layla, I\'m Bai Li Jun but they call me Little Aoi. That equally handsome right there is my brother named Bai Li Wei. But he is called Little Midori." He introduced Li Wei by pointing his finger to him.
Then, he leaned in and whispered, "Then, that cute baby is my other sister, she\'s named Evelien. Dad named her after Mom\'s name."
"Oh! Is she?" Layla gasped as she couldn\'t recall Eunji mentioning a fourth child.
He then called him so they could greet their grandma together, "Midori!"
He wanted to call Little Eve too but seeing that his sister was shy, he just let her be.
"Yes brother?" Little Midori answered.
"Come, let\'s greet our other pretty grandmother!" He said.
Little Midori also dragged Sophie as he didn\'t let go of her hand.
"Hello pretty Grandma! I\'m Bai Li Wei but you can call me Little Midori since I\'m still little." He introduced adorably.
"Oh my! You three look so beautiful. Can I have a hug from the three of you?" Layla asked and the trio nodded happily.
They gave Layla their own version of bone crashing hug.
Layla could not contain herself and gave them a grandma kiss on the cheek.
"My sweet Evelina! Thank you for giving me these adorable grandchildren." Layla said while hugging the triplets.
And Eunji only responded with a gentle smile as she looked at a beautiful picture of her mother hugging her children.
Meanwhile, Sophie also took the initiative to introduce her brothers to Master Liu.
"Master, look! I have two brothers. Isn\'t it amazing?" She proudly said.
"Yes it is! Now, you have two brothers to bond and play with. You\'re no longer alone and sad." Master Liu said as he tried to mess Sophie\'s hair.
"Absolutely, Master. Oh, by the way, Brothers, he is Master Liu. Eomma is Master\'s student and I am about to undergo training, too." She proudly said.
"Really? That\'s cool. Can we become your students, too? What are you teaching my sister? Will you please teach us, too?" Little Midori excitedly asked.
Master Liu could only chuckle in response.
"Sure, why not? If your parents allow me to teach you both, too." Master Liu gave the decision to Eunji and Nathan since they\'re the parents.
"Okay, I\'ll convince them." Little Midori said.
Eunji on the other hand remained on her sitting position as she cuddled Little Eve who was curiously looking at the unfamiliar faces in the room.
Eunji could feel her anxiety growing so she gently rubbed her back then gently rubbed her arms telling her that it was fine.
Little Eve however snuggled on her neck for comfort.
"Eomma!" Sophie called Eunji.
"Yes, baby?" She responded.
"How should I call them then?" Sophie asked as she pointed to Little Midori and Little Aoi.
"Call me Bai Li Wei or Midori. Call him Bai Li Jun or Aoi."
"And I am named Sophia Bai or Sophie. But that\'s not what I mean. Who\'s the eldest?" Sophie introduced while clarifying her question at the same time in English since she realized that everyone in the room spoke different language.
Eunji awkwardly looked at Mei for help as she didn\'t know who among the three came out first.
Mei then walked towards her and got down on their level to talk to the toddler.
"You\'re my other grandmother, right? Hello, I\'m Sophie." Sophie asked Mei and greeted her at the same time.
"It\'s okay, you can talk to me in Nihonggo. I can understand it." She said as she didn\'t want her grandmother to have a hard-time.
"Hai! I\'m your other grandmother. Call me Grandma Mei. Can I hug you?" Mei asked her permission and Sophie gently nodded.
Mei grabbed this chance to hug the granddaughter whom she thought she had buried together with Eunji.
Then, she introduced Sophie to Grandma Sana who was also delighted to hear that her great granddaughter was actually alive.
"Hello Great Grandma! I\'m Sophia but Eomma called me Sophie." She greeted Grandma Sana.
"Hello my dear Great grandchild. You look so pretty. Don\'t you know that?" She let Sophie to sat down on her lap while they talked.
"Thank you. You, too Great grandma." Sophie said as she hugged Sana.
"What a sweet child! Well all of you are!" Grandma Sana praised her but then she corrected herself as all of her great grandchildren are all sweet and adorable.
And like on cue, the boys also came running towards them and reached out to kiss Grandma Sana.
But still, Sophie pouted as she didn\'t get the answer that she wanted.
"But I still want to know who\'s the eldest among us, Eomma." She expressed almost in a whine.
"Well, on birth order it\'s Little Aoi first, then Little Midori and lastly, you our little princess." Mei answered her instead.
"So I\'m the youngest among us? But I want to be the eldest so they\'ll call me Noona (what a boy called to an elder sister)." Sophie said with a pout.
"It\'s okay. It\'s good to have a big brother, you know. And don\'t you want to call me as Big Brother?" Little Midori comforted.
"I do but.."
"Sophie, it\'s okay. You\'re no longer the youngest among your siblings." Eunji spoke getting Eunji\'s attention.
Sophie then looked at the other child who was snuggling at Eunji\'s neck.
"Eomma, who is she?" She finally asked the question in her head earlier.
"Come here Sophie." She then beckoned Sophie to come.
Sophie obediently walked towards her mom.
Eunji then also made Little Eve to face forward so she could look at Sophie.
"It\'s okay, baby." She encouraged.
"Sophie, this is your other sister." Eunji introduced the two sister.
"Really? But, I thought there\'s only three of us? She looked younger, too. Did you become pregnant while you\'re on your business trips?" Sophie innocently asked making the adults inside the room to chuckle.
Eunji knew that it would be hard to explain to her the concept of IVF and surrogacy so she decided to choose simple terms for Sophie to understand that Evelien is also her biological sister.
"Well, I thought so too, baby. But a miracle happened and she\'s now here with us. She\'s your biological sister."
"Really? Then, what\'s her name?" Sophie asked as she reached out to hold Little Eve\'s hand.
"Her name\'s Evelien Bai." Eunji said.
"Pretty name. But isn\'t it like your other name, Eomma?"
"Yes. Your Dad named her after me. After he learned that she\'s both our child."
"I don\'t get it fully but okay. Hello little Eve. I\'m your Sophie Unnie. I\'m sorry if I become a little jealous. I thought you\'re someone else\'s. But since you\'re my li\'l sis, I don\'t mind sharing Eomma to you and Oppas." Sophie said sweetly and with gentleness of a big sister.
"Hello, Unnie. It\'s fine." Little Eve softly said with a smile.
Little Eve then got up and held her sister and slowly the former gave Sophie a hug and Sophie also tried to lift her up.
"Careful sweetheart. You can\'t carry her." Eunji said.
Given her mother\'s warning, Sophie placed Little Eve down but didn\'t let go of her hand and the younger obediently stood beside her sister.
"Eomma, is this the surprise that you\'re telling me earlier?" Sophie asked.
"Yes, baby. Do you like it?"
"I not only like it, Eomma. I love it!" Sophie said as she threw her arms around her mother\'s neck and hugged her.
"I\'m glad you love it, baby." Eunji heaved a sigh of relief as she gently rubbed her back.
Sophie then broke off the hug and held her sister\'s hand again.
"Eomma, can we play together with my toys? Can I dress her up with my old clothes?" Sophie asked in excitement and Eunji nodded.
"Sure. Now, that you are a big sister and is reunited with your brothers, I hope that you will love them dearly, okay? That no matter what happens in the future, the bond you shared as siblings should remain strong and be each other\'s support."
Eunji could not help not to be emotional and seeing their mother about to cry, the kids rushed towards her for comfort.
"Eomma, please don\'t cry!"
"Mommy!" The boys exclaimed in unison.
"Promise we will be good. I will love my siblings dearly. In fact, I love them already. So please no more tears, yeah?" Sophie said as she kissed her mom\'s cheek.
While the boys were trying to wipe her tears using their hands.
Little Midori even went to the extent of looking for a tissue paper to help in wiping their mother\'s face.
Little Eve even lent a hand and helped her siblings, too.
"Don\'t be sad." She comforted Eunji.
(A/N: If this is not the sweetest mother and her children scene ever, then I don\'t know what to say anymore. Now I could not wait how Nathan would react.)
Eunji giggled as she thought that they\'re very adorable.
"You got it wrong babies. Mommy is not sad. I\'m just very happy to see all four of you together. Complete."
"Really?" Sophie asked with a little doubt in it.
"These are happy tears. See?" Eunji then showed her smile to prove that she was not lying.
After a round of persuading that she\'s really fine, the kids then finally let it go and they believed her.
