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

Chapter 96

The words that followed made her heart turn ice cold.

"It's not necessary for Little Pran to investigate this matte! Nonetheless, Jennie is already in such a pitiful state. She'd have no place to hide if she left the Manoban household now - l'm only being kind to her because she's so pitiful.

The public perspective of the matters regarding both the Manoban Family and the Kim Family has always been undesirable. Thus, letting her stay with the Manoban Family could be considered a means of making up for the Manoban Family's reputation."

Old Mistress Manoban was clearly surprised when she said this. "You're saying that you have a goal behind why you're keeping her?"

"The Manoban Family is prosperous in many ways and lacking in nothing, but it just so happens that Little Pran lacks a bedmate. Grandmother, please treat her a little better for my sake." When she heard Lisa saying these things, Jennie looked like she blew a blood vessel.

He only treated her well as a way to mentally redeem himself. Was he staying with without feeling any sort affection toward her?

She laughed at herself.

She had expected too much from him!

Had she not had mixed feelings for Lisa since a long time ago?

She had been fatally attracted to his determined spirit during her youth. As her deep love for him persisted for over a decade, it would also commonly override any resentment she felt toward him. Every time she indulged him, that temporary happiness would drown her and make her forget the fact that she had fallen so far from grace because of the Manoban Family.

After she sobered up, she would realize that she deeply resented this man.

He played an undeniable part in her father's death, her mother's injuries, the two years she lost, and the circumstances that befell her brother whom she did not know the state of.

She had initially planned to leave him once she had made all the necessary preparations, but she looked at their relationship now, she laughed.

Those amorous nights were ironic because Lisa had similarly merely wanted a bedmate to keep him warm.

Lisa's words had awakened her from her nightmare.

Jennie suddenly understood that as far as Lisa was concerned, he had never loved her.

Jennie's entire body shivered while her beautiful face turned pale. She wanted to step forward and leave but her legs were as heavy as lead, making it impossible for her to budge.

She only heard Old Mistress sneer before
replying, "Then am I supposed to treat Jennie the same way I treat you?"

I'm afraid that she hasn't learned to be grateful yet because she's already provoked you into coming and seek revenge today. No matter how well I treat her in the future, it'll already be ingrained in her heart that I was determined to hurt her. How is she supposed to become close to me then?

"You don't have to get worked up just because you want kthat foxy woman as your bedmate. When you get bored of her in the future, I'll find you a good girl to calla Mistress of the Manoban Family..."

"You're imagining things, grandmother. Jennie never said.anything like that. Your grandson just came here today on impulse, so she doesn't even know about me being here. As for the future, we'll talk about it when the time comes." Although Lisa lowered his voice, it could still be distinctly heard outside.

Jennie felt as if she had heard something that she
was not supposed to.

Some truths were far better off remaining. unsaid.

Despite already being a lost cause, she still had to suffer in this household. Just how badly did she have to humiliate herself?

Jennie shut her eyes and was barely able to calm her breathing. before she turned around and began to leave.

Suddenly, a crisp female voice called out to her, "Is that you,. Jennie? Why don't you come in since you're already here? Grandmother and Brother Lisa are chatting inside."

As Nancy walked in, she coincidentally bumped into Jennie who was standing there looking very stunned.

Jennie had neglected the greater threat when she was focusing. on the less important issue. (TN: Original text was a Chinese idiom that depicts a mantis that is unaware of a bigger threat, the bird, while it is stalking a cicada)

When she saw the desolate expression on. Jennie's face, the. corners of Nancy's mouth curled upward before they stretched into a mysterious smile.

Nancy had not heard what the pair had discussed, but she now knew that the things that Lisa said about having a bedmate were true.

She had initially assumed that the Third Young Mistress' position had already been secured, but had never imagined that Lisa would admit his heart's true desires in front of his grandmother.

Apparently, the position as the Third Young Mistress was still very much vacant.

Her bright eyes narrowed as Nancy struggled to suppress her delight upon making this discovery..

There was no reason for Nancy to let Jennie leave. It would be best if could make her give up now - Brother Lisa should not have married this woman in the first place.
