-----------------------

Jennie burst into laughter. This man is somehow making her laugh with his silly expression.

"I don't know." She answered while trying to suppress her giggles. she is telling the truth. She didn't know what romantic love feels like, so she really doesn't have an answer for him.

Her answered made Lisa frown. What does she mean? he wanted to ask more questions, but he decided to ask his father's opinion instead. lisa's father is the current patriarch of the Mnoban Family. He is an experienced and brilliant man in his forties. He should know how to make a woman fall in love.

Lisa's eyes burned with anticipation.. However, it quickly disappeared when he remembers his father's words. His father only gave him three months' time in Seoul. He will turn 20 soon and his father is already planning to give him the company. He is planning to train lisa as the next successor of the Manoban Family.

He needed to work hard and make Jennie accept him before he leaves the country, the thought of leaving her alone is making his heartache in sadness.

"So, where are you taking me?" Jennie decided to break the silence inside the car. She saw the changes in lisa's face. She wondered what could have caused the gloomy expression in his face.

"It's a surprise." He said while giving her a dashing smile. For a while, Jennie is in a daze. This man before her is really handsome ah. If this was her previous life, she would have jump into this man's arms the moment he proposes marriage. After all, who wouldn't want to use this man's family as a backer?

But that is only in her past life. In this life, she will not use anyone for her own selfish goals. she gave him a small smile in return.

The car ride is enveloped by silence. They were both in deep thought. Jennie is still thinking about this man's revelation to her. She knows that it is almost impossible to believe him, But how could she explain his weird behavior?

Jennie decided not to avoid lisa. This man knows her past life. Somehow, she felt that this man will never hurt her no matter what. As for his marriage proposal, she decided not to think about it. She wanted time to decide everything.

As a woman who experienced loveless marriage and divorce in her previous life, Jennie is very adamant on treasuring love and respect in a relationship. She wanted to find someone who is willing to grow old with her. Someone willing to walk alongside her.

she wanted someone who will not leave during her ups and downs. She is not looking for someone that will do anything FOR her. She is looking for a man that is willing to do anything WITH her.

She is not just looking for a lifetime partner. She is looking for a lifetime companion.

Jennie let out a sigh of relief. She is thankful that lisa didn't pursue the topic of marriage. She wondered why this man decided to marry her in this lifetime. Did he just pity her? This thought made Jennie's heart skip a little. Is she sad? Yes, she is. But she didn't exactly know why.

"Young Master, Young Miss, we have arrived." Her thoughts were interrupted by lisa's bodyguard. she remembers his name as Bei Ye.

Bei Ye is a young man in his 20's. He is not the type that will immediately scare you. As a bodyguard, she is surprised not to sense any bloodlust from his aura. Bei Ye is the exact opposite of Wang Bolin , maybe it was because of their age difference.

After they got out of the car, Jennie noticed the sudden gush of wind and she shivered from the cold. lisa immediately gives her his jacket and she accepted it without any second thoughts. jennie roamed her eyes around the car. She notices that they seem to be in a villa on top of a cliff. The villa features a big terrace that overlooked the whole city.

"Come, I'll bring you to the terrace. The view there is spectacular." lisa said as he gestured Jennie to follow him.

"Are you staying here?" She asked. This house seemed to be smaller than a mansion, but it was elegantly designed. All pieces of furniture were made of an exquisite piece of wood. She even wondered if they are antique.

"Yes. This is my mother's favorite house in the country." He answered as he led her into a very spacious terrace. From there, they can see the millions of lights from the city.

Jennie gasps in astonishment as she watched the lights sparkle making the mass of skyscrapers glitter. She stands there, her eyes exploring the view of the city in awe.

"This is... Magnificent." She murmured.

"Yes... very beautiful." lisa nodded while admiring the daze beauty standing nest to him

Both of them were so immersed in their own little world, they didn't notice Bei Ye had arrived with a maid attendant in tow. Bei Ye slightly pat his young master's shoulder, trying not to disturb his future mistress. He then handed Fu Jin the plate of beautifully crafted desserts before leaving without making a sound.

lisa immediately put the dessert on the outdoor leak table near jennie.

"Here, I had them make your favorite." lisa said gently. Jennie looked at the plate in front of her and couldn't hide her astonishment.

It's a La Madeline au Truffle! A very famous dessert abroad. This is also her favorite dessert in both of her lifetimes. She couldn't stop the tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

This dessert reminded her so much of her previous life. Her mother, Wang Rou is the one who introduced her this food in her previous life. When her mother died, she used to ask her grandfather to have someone buy this dessert from the other side of the world.

Her grandfather would cater her every request to the point of spending hundreds of thousands just to have it travel safely. She asked her grandfather to hire the chef who made this dessert but the chef decline. This made Jennie throw a tantrum, even calling her grandfather incompetent.

She was so full of herself then. She would call her grandfather names just to get what she wanted. Her grandfather would do anything to appease her. While all she ever did was to show off to everyone how extravagant her lifestyle is. Of course, that was to slight her younger sister. Oh! how stupid she was in her previous life.

Lisa sensed her sudden solemn expression. "You know, if you don't like it anymore, I can always ask the chef to make a new one." He said. he's is afraid that she will suddenly get angry and leave.

Jennie shook her head. "No... This food just reminded me of my mother." She lied. "Did you also know this from your dream?" She inquired. She hasn't eaten this food in this lifetime because of her sad memories. But it doesn't mean that she stopped loving it.

« yes... I... I also hired the chef. If you like you can have him work for you. Grandpa Wang said that you are going to make a cafe." He answered.

"Why?"

lisa looked at her. " Because you like his desserts." He answered. He thought that she is asking him why he hired the chef.

"I mean why do all this? So, what if I like this dessert? So, what if you've been dreaming about me? So, what if I got divorced in your dreams? Why care for me? Why ask me to marry you? Are you doing all this because you pity me from your dreams? It was all in your head. You couldn't have believed that it will happen right?" She asked. Although she decided not to avoid this man, she still has a lot of questions to ask.

Questions that will make her nights sleepless from now on.

"No... You... » lisa took a deep breath. "You saved me! I saw myself on a cliff. I was dying and you saved me!" He said. His eyes never leaving hers.

"I saved you in your dreams? That is..." Then jennie felt like she was being hit by a bolt of lightning! That's it! She knows this man! She remembers him!
