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

Chapter 30

"Does it still hurt?"

Seeing that she had almost finished eating, Lisa asked her.

Briefly stunned, Jennie lowered her almond-shaped eyes. She pondered for a long time without a sound before realizing that he was asking about her face.

She stroked her cheek. It was searing with pain earlier but she could not really feel the pain now because she had exerted herself while chewing.

Jennie lowered her head and silently smiled. Thinking that she was still in pain, Lisa could not help but lean forward to take a closer look.

Jennie could smell the faint peppermint smell from the man as he got closer to her. Her nostrils were instantly filled with his scent that made her entire body reacted in an unnatural manner!

She suddenly raised her head and directly met the affectionate gaze in the man's profound eyes, indicating that he was truly caring for her.

Jennie retreated. She shook her head once she was within a safe distance from him. In a calm manner, she softly asked, "Why would a minor issue like this matter? When I was inside, which of the beatings that I suffered weren't worse than this?"

The hand that Lisa had extended outward paused stiffly in mid-air. He gritted his teeth and spatted out the words one-by-one asking, "Who hit you?"

When she saw Lisa's look of disbelief, Jennie suddenly felt like laughing. However, her forbearing nature caused her to forcibly suppress that smile. Nonetheless, traces of a sneer faintly appeared at the corners of her mouth!

Lisa lowered his eyes, which were as dark as ancient ponds. They surged like great waves as Jennie's brief words agitated him!

Before waiting for Jennie's reply, he asked again, "You said that someone hit you in prison?"

Jennie obviously did not want to answer this question. Her coldly elegant little face was now red because of her emotions that sharply rose and fell. Seeing that she was pretending to be calm on the surface, Lisa's heart twisted into a knot.

He felt helpless with Jennie's indifference and could only return to his seat slowly. This was the first time his heart was shrouded with panicked emotions!

Perhaps things were currently developing in a direction that even he could not anticipate!

Jennie suddenly stood up. When she looked down at Lisa, her big dark eyes seemed like billowing waves because the tears that she held back were about to overflow!

She sniffed before saying lightly, "Don't tell me that you don't know about those filthy things! All this while, I thought that I had to quietly suffer as retribution for killing your childhood sweetheart. Thus, I never resisted it. You should be very satisfied with the result, right?"

After Jennie had finished speaking, she took long strides and left her seat to avoid the embarrassment that would arise from Lisa's explanation. She left the restaurant and sat in the back seat of the car.

Lisa's face was gloomy as he entered the car as well. Both of his hands gently stroked the steering wheel as he glanced at the woman through the rear view mirror. She seemed calm on the surface but her heart was actually seething...

As the car went through the busy traffic, Lisa could clearly tell that she was quietly weeping because her shoulders trembled trying to suppress her sobs...

...

Before they arrived at the Manoban Family Mansion, Jennie had already fallen asleep leaning against the seat.

Reluctant to wake her up, Lisa reached his arms out and held her against his chest. She was one hundred and seventy centimeters tall but weighed less than a hundred pounds. How did she face the hardships that happened during those two years?

Lisa had initially sent her in there because he did not want to drag her into the Manoban Family's drama.

Moreover, he did not want her to be collateral damage when the Kim Family collapsed.

Thus, he had made internal arrangements and assumed that Jennie would receive special care.

If she had not personally said it today, it would be impossible for Lisa to believe that she was actually tortured in prison despite his protection!

How could he even imagine that Luo Hai's number one socialite who was previously so proud and pampered, managed to endure more than 700 torturous days?

How much despair and pain had she felt when he had only visited her once during the two years she spent there?

He was afraid that the love she had for him in the past was now equivalent to hatred!

...

Lisa gently placed the woman on the bed.

Ah Fu had already hung up the clothes that were delivered by the mall inside the wardrobe.

Ah Fu was excited when she saw the gorgeous clothes. When she saw that the Young Master had returned and was carrying the Young Mistress in his arms, a sweet smile beamed across the girl's face.

"Third Young Master and Young Mistress seemed to enjoy themselves. You told me to call Fifth Miss over for a meal but neither of you was here. Fifth Miss left after she had eaten and even helped to tidy up the clothes that were delivered by the mall. She said that the Young Mistress previously looked beautiful no matter what she wore. She possesses both talents and good looks and with the beautiful clothes, perhaps Young Mistress will regain the position of the number one socialite when she steps foot outside..."
