Mr. L's DILEMMA: Can't Help Falling Inlove With You

Chapter 20

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

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

Jennie did not know where Lisa 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.

Ah Fu was afraid that Lisa 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 Ah Fu carried in did Jennie remember that she had not eaten anything the whole day. She had been so pissed off by Lisa 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 Lisa was bent on looking after her as though he were rearing a pig...

Jennie 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 Lisa's instruction and wipe up all the food on the small dining table...

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

After a while, she looked up at the sky outside. It seemed that Lisa would not be returning any time soon, so Jennie 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.

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

Yeji 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!"

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

Yeji was the daughter of the Manoban Family's third son, Minho, and the youngest among the Manoban Family's third generation. Everyone usually called her Fifth Miss.

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

"Yeji, 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..."

Jennie began to sob. She got very emotional upon seeing Yeji.

After holding Jennie,s hand, waves of warmth began to fill Yeji's heart.

"Am I not back now?"

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

To Jennie,  even if she and Lisa got divorced, the one in the Manoban Family whom she would always fondly recall would be Yeji.

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.

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

During the years when Jennie studied abroad, this little girl would constantly go overseas to visit her. It was during the years that she was preparing to marry Jennie that Yeji suddenly disappeared from the Manoban Family.

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

After Jennie 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, Jennie could not suppress her excitement, regardless of how upset she had been beforehand.

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

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

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

Jennie'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!" Yeji 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, Yeji carefully whispered while observing Jennie's expression.
