Trial Husband

Chapter 21

It had become part of Jin' routine to drop Lalisa off at school. He would stop somewhere nearby, allowing Lalisa to walk to school without being seen with him.

However, he himself would not go to school today. Instead, he watched as Lalisa walked into the building before heading in the other direction.

Lalisa received a message from Jin after class. He said that he had something to do today, so she had to find another home.

Just as she had stepped out of the school gate ,Chaeyoung and Uncle Park ganged up on her, trapping her between themselves before dragging her into their car.

"Lalisa, you'd better be obedient and behave yourself!"

Uncle Park gave her niece a stern warning in the car.

Chaeyoung's mother, Aunt Park, had also arrived. Uncle Park was driving in front while Chaeyoung and Aunt Park sandwiched Lalisa between them in the middle of the backseat. She tried to escape, but her efforts were futile.

Lalisa steadied her emotions and pretended to be afraid as she said, "Uncle, Auntie, Chae, where are you taking me?"

Her uncle snorted coldly. "Lalisa, who asked you to be so disobedient? You've left us with no choice but to bring you to go see Davis this way!"

Lalisa shouted back at him, "Uncle, why are you in such a hurry?"

Chaeyoung secretly pinched Lalisa. "Cousin, I warned you yesterday. Are you finally afraid now?"

Lalisa's back was in pain from Chaeyoung's pinching. It was probably bruised.

She couldn't help herself as she cried out in pain, "Chaeyoung, are you jealous that I can marry a rich man like Davis that you're pinching me so hard?!"

Chaeyoung's face darkened at Lalisa's words. They had just felt wrong to her.

Aunt Park smilingly asked Lalisa, "Lisa, have you finally thought things through?"

Her husband looked at Lalisa from the rearview mirror.

Lalisa lowered her head in fear. "What else can I do? Chaeyoung's words from yesterday had scared me. I quickly ran over to the hospital to see dad, but he was still in the intensive care unit. I couldn't see him at all.

"I'm afraid that my father will actually leave me. What if I don't listen to you and marry that old man? Uncle, will you really stop father's treatment?

"I have no choice but to compromise and marry him.

"Uncle, you will save my father then, right?"

Lalisa's voice felt like a plea. The way she looked at Uncle Park was full of helplessness and pity.

They were clearly the words that Uncle Park had wanted to hear the most. However, he felt suspicious.

Why did he feel as if Lalisa was just mocking him?

No, it must have been his imagination.

Lalisa was a pushover, someone who was easy to handle. He did not have to worry about what tricks she could pull.

"Lisa, uncle was just trying to scare you. Your father is still my biological brother. How could I really do anything that would potentially harm him?

"I had no choice but to let you marry Davis. My company is small, so I can't take out a million dollars at once, but Davis can!

"Although he is 50 years old, he is still very young and charming. You will surely be captivated by him when you meet him later.

"Moreover, Davis is rich. In another 30 years, when he dies, won't the Carr family's assets be yours?

"When the time comes, I'll even need you to promote me!

"So, just be obedient. This way, not only can you save your father's life, but also potentially live happily for the rest of your days. Don't you think so?

"Uncle wouldn't do anything that would harm you. I'm only thinking about what's best for the both of you!"

Uncle Park spoke sincerely, as if he was really an elder who cared about his niece.

Lalisa cursed in her heart: F*ck you!

She clearly saw through Uncle Park's deceit.

If Davis was really such a good man, why hadn't he made Chaeyoung marry him instead?
