MY FAIR LADY (Author's Reco)

A STUCK THORN

JENNIE

Nathan Marius, our second born. Our baby Nate who looks like Lisa so much and he is so cute!
You know what makes my day?
When André expresses his love for his brother.
André turned 1 and he always walks to be with his brother wherever Nate is being carried by people at home. 
He can also now speak Mama and Dada and Lisa is so proud again of André.

Seeing Lisa spends time with the kids is priceless.
But towards me, she's always uneasy. Like something bothers her.

We went back making love. Purely love and I make sure I would satisfy her.
I do my workout and healthy lifestyle to bring back my shape. I read more books so I would overcome postpartum scenarios.
I talk to Lisa every night before we sleep.
Of course, I still wait for her when she comes home late. Even if it's until three in the morning, I would still wait for my Lisa. What if she's hungry? What if she needs me?

I got a call from an unknown number and Tina was the first one who talked to the guy. She said it's Mr. Chan. Oh, I remember Jisoo talked about him.
He and his wife wants to meet me about their plans of building businesses here in France. I told him, I should talk to Lisa about it first and we'll go together to meet them.

So it happened.
The negotiation came and 8 suggested that the people must not only benefit from the business but would also change their lives. I want more employment for them. But before anything else, I asked Lisa in front of them what are her vision. And I agreed to it. She is really smart and her initiative is magnificent.
It was a successful negotiation and I saw how Lisa's face brigthened up when Mr. Chan and his wife commended her. I am so proud of my wife.
I kept telling her how proud I am and lucky because I and the nation got her!

But still there are late nights of coming home.
She says she came from negotiations and meetings.
I am not the type of wife who would check on Jisoo of what Lisa has been dealing with. Because I trust and love my better half so much!

Until one day,
I was the one who washed our clothes.
Because our helper had to go on a day off to be with her relatives.

I did not intend to smell Lisa's clothes but the fragrance is too strong and I believe it is not her perfume.
She's my partner and I know every particle that runs in her body.
Hmmm,
Maybe she just had a meet and greet with other influential women that leads the government too.

I went to an exclusive mall with my kids and Mama Joan to buy some stuff that we need at home like new sheets, our groceries, the kids' essentials, Lisa's needs and new suit for her and a pair of shoes.

While we approach a Kitchen store inside the mall, my eyes observed from afar. I found a Korean restaurant. Looks like it's newly opened.

My sight shifted to a table with couch and a familiar figure attracted my eyes.

No. It can't be Lisa.
She left the house in a suit. And why someone is clinging on her arm as she feeds her with food?
No way. It's not her.

We passed by and I stared again at them like we're just ten meters away.
Fuck. It's Lisa.
With a young woman.
I couldn't move. My body froze.

Mama Joan saw them too and we just looked at each other.
I want to go to them and confront them. I want to smash the glass. They did not notice us.
My heart is breaking for I can't believe the person I married is with someone else— clearly cheating on me.
