Dilemma

20.

The sky was already dark by the time they returned to the Jeon Family Mansion.

When Jungkook arrived home, his face seemed distant and emotionless. He said nothing as he changed his clothes before immediately leaving again.

Lisa did not know where Jungkook ran off to. After taking a bath and changing her clothes, she went into the small tea room and made herself some Pu'er tea.

Mina was afraid that Jungkook would reprimand him if the Young Mistress only drank tea without having dinner, so he quickly placed her dinner on a small dining table and brought it into the tea room.

"Young Mistress, before Young Master headed out, he left instructions for you to finish all this..."

Only after looking at the small dining table Mina carried in did Lisa remember that she had not eaten anything the whole day. She had been so pissed off by Jungkook that she had even forgotten that she was hungry!

'Even good tea can't be drunk on an empty stomach.

'Yet, there is so much food. Am I supposed to finish all of this?'

It seemed like Jungkook was bent on looking after her as though he were rearing a pig...

Lisa picked up the chopsticks to taste some of the food and immediately found it to be rather appetizing.

Having tasted the savoriness of the food, the greedy worms in her stomach were revived. They growled and clamored, prompting her to actually follow Jungkook's instruction and wipe up all the food on the small dining table...

After she ate and drank to her fill, Lisa belched and felt somewhat better.

After a while, she looked up at the sky outside. It seemed that Jungkook would not be returning any time soon, so Lisa picked out a book from the bookshelf and began to read attentively.

"Sister-in-law? Why didn't you call me after the tea was brewed?"

A gentle voice suddenly called out, its sweet-sounding tone traveling through the wooden door of the tea room.

Lisa was startled, and she quickly spotted a pretty little face coming through the door. She was so surprised that she blurted out, "Somi!"

Jeon Somi frowned and pouted playfully. "Although sister-in-law's back, big bro wouldn't let me come to disturb you, claiming that your body's weak and that you need a good rest. Yet, here I see sister-in-law drinking tea. You seem to be doing just fine!"

Somi approached Lisa as she spoke. Her previously girly appearance, after a three-year-growth period, now gave off an exceptional glow.

Jeon Somi was the daughter of the Jeon Family's third son, Jeon Tangshuo, and the youngest among the Jeon Family's third generation. Everyone usually called her Fifth Miss.

Because she was roughly the same age as Lisa, back when Lisa mingled with the Jeon Family to pursue Jungkook, Jeon Somi had seized the opportunity to acquire a bestie.

"Somi, don't simply call me sister-in-law! Where've you been these past few years? I thought that... I'd never see you again..."

Lisa began to sob. She got very emotional upon seeing Somi.

After holding Lisa's hand, waves of warmth began to fill Somi's heart.

"Am I not back now?"

Somi was gentle as she tugged at Lisa's sleeves. Her delicate expression was extremely adorable!

To Lisa, even if she and Jungkook got divorced, the one in the Jeon Family whom she would always fondly recall would be Somi.

They were of the same kind - both of them were daughters who were not doted on by their families.

Hence, the two girls had been exceedingly appreciative of each other since young.

Lisa was slightly older, and as such, the carefree Somi was secretly rather attached to the well-mannered and courteous Lisa!

During the years when Lisa studied abroad, this little girl would constantly go overseas to visit her. It was during the years that she was preparing to marry Jungkook that Jeon Somisuddenly disappeared from the Jeon Family.

The Jeon Family kept mum regarding the whereabouts of Somi, and although Lisa asked around, she could never get any concrete information. She was extremely apprehensive, but Yuan Xuan remained tight-lipped about the matter.

After Lisa was caught in that tragic mess, the two did not see each other again, so this reunion was three years in the making. Because of this, Lisa could not suppress her excitement, regardless of how upset she had been beforehand.

"Somi, where've you been these past few years?"

After calming down, Lisa poured a cup of tea for Somi, and the two slender girls sat back on the tatami mat.

Somi sipped the cup of Pu'er tea and sighed. "Lisa, honestly, I can't remember anything surrounding the past three years!"

Lisa's eyes widened when she heard this.

"I only remember the things from the past. Whenever I try to recall the events that happened during the past three years, my head would ache badly and I would have to stop. "Not to mention, my family wouldn't tell me anything, so I simply give up asking!" Somi found it strange that she lost three years' worth of her memory, but her family simply told her that she was ill and that the condition was a result of her sickness.

"I heard from my brother... that he put you in prison for two years..."

Suddenly, Somi carefully whispered while observing Lisa's expression.
