Jennie didn't mind Eliza's dampen mood as she finished her food. She was here to eat, ah. She would never let someone's mood affect her current appetite.
"The lesson is to look at the things that you cannot see from the surface," Jennie said after Eliza continued asking her about her opinions and thoughts about things. "There are two sides to every coin." She said before she finished a glass of water. Jennie leaned against the chair, she was really too full and sleepy, she wasn't too sure if she could still accompany Eliza shop.
Eliza nodded at her words before she sighed inwardly. Despite Jennie's stories, Lisa , Seulgi, and Irene still had a very blissful meal. Everyone looked really satisfied with their food, except her. Slowly, her lips lifted into a smile. True, she was not able to enjoy her food. However, she was still able to learn a very good lesson from Jennie.
As expected, she would harvest a lot of lessons from this visit. She looked at the slight smile on Jennie's face. The more she interacted with Jennie, the more she respected and admired her.
"We should leave and start shopping before I fall asleep." Jennie's words made everyone chuckle. She eyed her husband, "Are you going back to LM Capital?"
"Hmmm. I have another meeting at one."
"Oh! Unfortunate." Jennie beamed. "I guess, I will see you tonight? Dinner? Tell Chef Yang, I want some seafood."
"We are having some vegetables tonight." Lisa uttered before leaning down to kiss her. "I will settle the bill." He added, not letting her speak. "You go ahead and have a nice shopping." Standing, Lisa did not wait for Jennie to argue about their dinner. He immediately gestured for Seulgi to follow him.
A small smile easily broke on Jennie's face. She shook her head, amusement apparent in her eyes. Lisa is really caring and she is loving it. For some reason, seeing him impose some rules on her food is making her feel giddy inside.
A part of this was because Jennie always liked to control things. Letting someone control this small aspect of her is... refreshing.
Not long after Lisa left, the group also decided that it was time to leave as well. Eliza was still excited about shopping while Jennie was in a hurry to go home so she could sleep.
"Alright," Jennie said. "I will let Taehyung go with you. My back is starting to hurt." Jennie said after visiting a few stores. Slowly, Jennie could already feel the changes in her body. She gets tired easily and her back is starting to hurt especially after walking so much. The doctor said that it was because her spine is supporting the growing fetus inside her.
"Why me?" Taehyung said. "I am not very familiar with the place." He frowned. That- and he promised Lisa not to let Jennie out of his sight.
"Then... Irene will guide you two. Taehyung and I will get some refreshments. Text me once you are done." Jennie's words immediately earned the approval of Levi and Eliza. After all, everyone is already aware of Jennie's current condition.
"I want some... milk tea." Jennie immediately said after sitting down. They chose to stay in a coffee shop that is pretty known in the city.
Taehyung only gave her a stern look before shaking his head. Again, he wondered, how could Lisa know that Jennie will try to demand something like this today. Is it possible that Lisa can read Jennie's mind? "No. I will get some tea for you." He said before he called the attendant.
Seeing this, Jennie only let out a chuckle. Her husband... Lisa is so thorough, he must have warned Taehyung ahead of time, prompting the latter to decline her request. "Oi, Taehyung. Did you forget that I am your sister?" Jennie asked. "How come you listen to Lisa more than me?"
