Rent A Girlfriend (JENLISA)

Chapter 103

JENNIE POV:

"I love you, my beloved."

One second... two seconds.... Three seconds...

Nothing happened after three seconds. I thought that meant the ritual had failed, and the truth had been revealed. Lisa didn't like me at all.

I didn't dare to open my eyes. I didn't want to see the disappointment in my family's eyes and the confusion in Lisa's eyes.

To be honest, all I wanted to do right now was to disappear from the world. I felt humiliated and ashamed to have brought someone that didn't love me to my household.
Lisa had played my heart well, and I fell with all that sweet words coming out of her mouth.

I waited until Lisa, or at least my dad, to open his mouth and ended this awkward ritual. But I waited for a while until my dad said, "Jennie, open your eyes!"

I immediately opened my eyes and saw Lisa looking down at the red string connecting our ring fingers.

"What the,"

Magically, the red string glowed, and the red string disappeared slowly as if it never existed in the first place. Then, a red circle appeared on our ring finger.

I tried to rub it few times, but it was like a permanent tattoo. It signified that we had been married by fate.

My parents, alongside Doyeon and Ella, rejoiced when they saw this.

"Wait, what happened?" I asked. Of course, I knew what happened exactly. But I didn't want to believe it. I just couldn't believe it.

"Oh my goodness gracious, finally, our prayers have been answered! Someone is actually in love with our daughter!" My dad said.

"Yes! Husband, we need to celebrate this. Don't let this woman escape. We need to tie her in the bed and make sure she wouldn't be able to leave Jennie!" My mom added. "Wait, let me prepare a strong rope first. We need to tie her as soon as possible!"

Ella and Doyeon helped my mom find a good rope while my dad was staring at us as if we were a pair of star-crossed lovers, ready to marry tomorrow.

He patted Lisa's shoulder and said, "Young woman, you'll be my daughter's wife in the future, and also my daughter-in-law. I hope you will one satisfied with my daughter. She is very feisty, stubborn, and also a cheapskate. But she has a good heart... perhaps."

"Y-Yes, I understand... father-in-law," Lisa replied.

'Wait, who allowed you to call my dad as your father-in-law?! I haven't even say anything about marriage!' I yelled in my heart, but nothing came out of my mouth. Because I was still too shocked to react.

"Aish, don't call me father-in-law. Just call me dad, like how Jennie calls me. You will be part of our family soon," my dad said. "So, how about the marriage? When will you propose to my daughter? Don't be too long ah, my daughter is already twenty-seven years old. She's already a leftover woman at this age."

"Dad! I'm not a leftover woman!"

"Aish, you're already a leftover woman ah! I don't want you to be unmarried until you're old! You need a person to take care of you! You've worked too hard for this family!" My dad insisted.
