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

Chapter 119

The corners of Jennie's mouth curled into a faint smile while she continued to appear indifferent. She remained silent to rebuff Old Mistress.

This woman who was very close to Yeji had been influenced by that girl's innate unruliness. She looked delicate and feeble but she was actually stubborn right down to the bone.

It was still acceptable because Yeji was a member of the Manoban Family but Jennie was not given that her surname is Kim. What right did she have to behave in an atrocious manner in front of her?

"Are you going to apologize to Nancy or not?"

Old Mistress coldly ordered.

Tzuyu hurriedly but discreetly tugged at Jennie's cuff while whispering, "It doesn't matter if you just apologize. It'll be fine once you say it... Don't make Grandmother angry!"

Jennie knew that Tzuyu was a peacemaker but it was difficult for Jennie to utter those words when she saw Nancy's whimpering state.

Frankly, it did not hurt enough for her to cry like this.

Nancy deliberately wanted to embarrass her. Once she had apologized, the entire Manoban Family would look down on her.

This female outsider had such clear intentions to stir Lisa's thoughts in front of her. Did she actually have to meekly apologize to her despite being the true wife who was placed in a terribly demeaning state?

Jennie smiled faintly. Her entire body was cold but her gaze was extremely firm. Her attitude had already determined that she would refuse to do this.

Although Nancy saw the refusal that filled Jennie's face, she did as she pleased because of Grandmother's presence that resulted in such immense pressure. She loudly sobbed without
wasting another moment...

Everyone looked at Jennie, expressing through their confused and criticized gazes that she was unaware of her own strength.

She was completely abandoned once again.

The scene was so familiar.

This resembled her wedding banquet two years ago when she was dragged away from among thousands of lily flowers by the police in her snow-white wedding dress. Under the camera flashlights, the former number one socialite and the daughter-in-law of the Manoban Family's eldest grandson had instantly descended to the lowest point of her life. However, not a single person had stepped forward to support her.

"Grandmother has already said that she was being careless, I think that's settled. Since Jennie has a headache, I'll take her home to rest."

Lisa who silently remained on the sidelines all along was suddenly set in motion.

His 'wife protection mode' had been directly activated.

Her back briefly felt warm as Jennie's icy body directly fell into the crooks of the man's deep and strong arms.

She was unhurriedly hit by that familiar and refreshing pine scent. Before she could reject him in time, he was already tightly pressing himself against her. When his blazing body heat drifted
over, it was completely filled with strength.

The crooks of his arms were excessively warm. To her surprise, she unconsciously felt that she wanted to stay there without having to come out.

This also made her forgot that they were still in the middle of a cold war...

Lisa practiced what he preached. He had perfectly proven that he would be by her side even if everyone was finding fault with her.

Jennie was instantly touched.

This embrace was two years late...

"Headache? Why does she have a headache again?" Old Mistress was so furious that her lips were quivering slightly.

Jennie was inwardly amused by this. Was this man unable to find a different excuse?

"I don't have a headache!"

Jennie whispered but her tone was gentle. She resembled a naughty little cat, using her claws to scratch the innermost part of his itching heart.

"Pretend that it hurts even if it doesn't!"

Lisa said in all seriousness. His dignified tone made him resemble a decent public figure.

He did not even turn his gaze towards her while his voice was lowered toa volume that could only be heard by the both of them.

Jennie was slightly stunned. She could not clearly determine her own feelings towards Lisa either.

Nonetheless, her current emotions made her reluctant to leave. She gently rubbed herself against his body like a stray cat that had wandered around outside for too long. Now that she had finally found a warm nest, she could not help herself from burrowing inside it.

She terribly wished that he had stood by her side like this two years ago.

She would have continued to love him the same way she did in the beginning while the Jennie of today would not exist...

...

When Old Mistress realized that Lisa wanted to help that girl and speak on her behalf again, she had nowhere to displace the anger that she had accumulated over numerous occasions. Her expression hardened as if she was slowly extinguishing the burning rage in her heart.

After all, Old Mistress already knew how to properly control a scene and her own emotions because she was a person who had experienced numerous decades worth of trials.

Lisa was not an ordinary child. He was already used to behaving in a proud manner since his childhood because he was pampered for many years. Moreover, his parents were not there to accompany him either. Thus, he only respected a few people.

If they argued, she was truly worried that he would not just accept it...

Despite her entire reputation and the presence off respect, she had prioritized her deep sentiments that were related to being fiercely protective of her own.

By remaining silent, old Mistress had indicated that she would not intefere with Lisa's attitude.

"Grandmother, since there's nothing more to say, I'll take Jennie home then. As for Nancy, I hope that it'll be alright for me to leave her in Third Uncle's care."

Lisa made the arrangements and nodded at Minho to indicate that.

While everyone fixed their astonished gazes on him, Lisa held Jennie's slim waist before his imposing and dark figure vanished into the night.

This was surprising because Lisa had always been extremely respectful towards Old Mistress before this despite his overbearing personality...

Jennie's arrival meant that the Manoban Family would undergo great changes...
