His Contractual Mistress || Liskook Adaptation

Chapter: 34

Lisa immersed herself in eating the crab, setting aside her uncertainties and worries, which she should not make important at all.

She came to this country for her Life Project, not a LOVE project.

She must not let herself be bothered every time her heart is acting strange. Because once everything is over, it will only be bittersweet memories.

Lisa was in deep thought, and her silence is apparent to Jungkook. She was focused on burying her feelings; she fails to notice that Jungkook is watching her earnestly.

Seeing her silence, he coughs to get Lisa's attention. "So, how was your training today?" he asked afterward.

Honestly, he can not think of any topic to start up for Lisa to feel comfortable around him. Sometimes he could see how she was being distant or seemed to put up a wall between them; at times, she turned down his gestures like what happened a while ago when he was about to take off her shoes from her foot.

Her refusal upsets him. But dissolved after Lisa held on to his shoulder to get support not to out-balance.

Lately, he was figuring out what he better do that Lisa won't feel too civil toward him.

Somehow, it gladdens him she is obedient in public, not refusing their intimacy. But as she is just following their agreement, it made him a little sad.

He always had this thought. Sometimes, he wishes for the situation to be different.

Pondering, Jungkook sighs inwardly and then withdraws his gaze from Lisa. He picked up a plate of Italian pasta and offered it to her.

Tearing a sweet smile on her lips, she thanked Jungkook. "Thank you."

Putting down her spoon and setting aside her soup bowl. Jungkook then placed the plate in front of her.

She takes off the disposable plastic glove on her left hand and reaches for the water; she gulps half of the glass.

Is it a wonder she was eating with her hand?

Truly, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and she grew up learning table etiquette strictly. But traveling in Asia teaches her a lot of exciting new things.

At first, it amazes her. Now eating with her hands has become a habit of hers. But it depends on the dishes she's dining such; as crabs, lobsters, or big prawns.

The first few days she started living in Jungkook's penthouse, and he comes over for dinner. It surprised him when she used plastic gloves to eat with her hands.

Now that Jungkook is used to her usage, he makes sure to prepare one for her to enjoy eating crabs more easily.

She could see that he is becoming considerate toward her, which pleases her. And having a candlelight dinner in his yacht out of the blue is a romantic gesture for her. However, as usual, this is just one of the acts she must play.

Hiding the sadness in her eyes and the bitter smile on her lips, she

answer Jungkook's query with cheer.

"It was so interesting today. Mrs. Gomez and Mr. Kirk, the Event Planner, gave us an activity of making a backdrop, and everyone is so creative! It blew me away at how lovely they are! It was like, wow! It amazed me! I always love seeing an enchanted reception, especially wedding ones! I'm always ecstatic to know someone is getting married! Not only that, but I love those flowers hanging from the entire ceiling with wonderful lights! And the table arrangements filled with flowers and..."

Lisa stopped talking after Jungkook stared at her with amusement in his eyes. She didn't realize that she was blabbing without a pause.

But truly, it excites her to learn how to do flower arrangements. She grew up having people to do everything she wanted, and sometimes she doesn't like the results. But she was shy to complain. And so, she let it be even if it disappoints her.
