His Contractual Mistress || Liskook Adaptation

Chapter: 6

He Is Becoming Closer

Evening. . .

An enticing aroma filled the house, a Calamari soothing Jungkook's nostrils. The scent was only faint but still caught by his nose.

Ever since he brought her to the penthouse, he has become sensitive to the food she was preparing for him. Recently, he realized he has been looking forward to having a meal with her world-class dishes, prepared exclusively for him.

Reaching to his chin, Jungkook mused. 'What other things is she good at aside from cooking?'

Unable to find an answer, Jungkook got up from his chair and walked out of his study. He placed his one hand on the railings and one hand shoving on his pocket. His eyes swept at the table, and then his attention lingered on the woman gradually stirring a soup in front of the cooking cooker.

He was watching both the food and the chef. His mouth drools from his desire to have a taste of them.

Having this thought surprised him for what appeared in his mind. Is he developing a feeling for his mistress?

He cannot be. It was in the clause that they should not fall in love. A contract only binds their relationship. He emphasizes this clause because he doesn't want to waste time driving out the woman once she falls in love with him and then demanding his time, or worse begging for his love.

So then, the day their act is over, he doesn't want drama.

To hit the point, he hates pursuing a woman to leave him. This is what happens after he marries Jennie.

He regretted he didn't prepare an agreement that after two years of marriage, they would immediately divorce.

Now, his wife, on paper, won't sign the divorce he wanted. It's been three years already, and he hates to fly to the US to beg for a divorce. It's not his type to pursue a woman.

Besides, he paid threefold for his lawyers to take care of this matter. Yet nothing happens. It looks like he needs to think of another plan for Jennie to sign the divorce paper.

Meanwhile, Lisa could feel a pair of eyes staring at her. She need not guess when the only person with her is Jungkook.

She turned her head to the railings. She was right. Jungkook is watching her from upstairs. Upon their eyes met, she pushed a gentle smile and uttered, "Are you hungry? I'm almost done."

"I can wait. I'm just stretching my back." While saying this, Jungkook descended the stairs and walked toward the kitchen. "You will grill pork steak?" he asked when he noticed the marinated meat in a bowl.

Nodding, Lisa replied, "Yes."

Looking at the raw meat, watered his mouth, craving it already. "Well, let me help you grill the meat."

Upon saying it, Jungkook took out the electric grilling pan, placed it in the middle of the table, and take out an extension cord, and plugged in the power cord. He walked toward the counter and took the bowl with him. Jungkook seemed to enjoy himself placing the meat on the grill plate.

Lisa, who observes him silently, amused her, watching him like this. Jungkook's face remains expressionless, but a glint of excitement exhibits in his eyes. She was grateful that Jungkook is not picky. In the beginning, she was shy to ask him what food he preferred. So, she decided to try preparing him with all the dishes she knew. If he complains, then she will take that dish out on the menu.

However, surprisingly, Jungkook never complains but stuffs his mouth with everything she prepared on the table. Still, she wasn't sure what food he likes; she came up with an idea to make a menu every week. The times Jungkook comes over, she knows what to cook that he hasn't eaten that week.
