Hear My Heart: My World Falls into the River of Love /Liskook Adaptation/

Chapter 40 - I said sleeping, other services not included.

Jungkook really did drive Lisa back home with due haste. Lisa had a slight headache, so her car remained parked at Starlight General Merchandise. And yet, when could she come pick it up?

Jungkook said, "Leave it there for now; you can drive it home the next time you come to Starlight General Merchandise."

"What if I want to go out?"

"I can chauffeur you."

Lisa blinked. Since Eldest Master Jeon was so enthusiastic about playing the role of a chauffeur, she wouldn't be impolite and refuse. "Oh right, just now in the elevator I heard Son Ara say that you spoiled her when you were children, and you would even sing for her."

Jungkook near imperceptibly frowned. "She really had the nerve to say that."

"Oh, then in the end did you or did you not spoil her and even serenade her?"

"Of course not, but there was this one time where Junghyun grabbed a caterpillar to scare her. She was so scared, she began to cry. The little girl was crying endlessly, and it annoyed me, so I sang a song for her to hear."

"Then...when I feel upset in the future, will you sing for me?"

Jungkook glanced at her and replied, "Singing is nothing; whatever you want me to do is all okay."

Lisa: "..."

She coughed drily and then said, "I think Son Ara regrets it."

"Regrets what?"

"Regrets not choosing you back then."

Jungkook wrinkled his brows and faintly responded, "Oh, what does that have to do with me?"

Lisa laughed and didn't say anything.

Son Ara truly was regretful. After she returned home, she complained to her mother, "Mom, I don't want to marry Junghyun."

Upon hearing this sentence, Son Ara's mother's complexion darkened. "You two have been together since you were children. Now after holding an engagement reception with such great fanfare, you say you don't want to marry him. Are you not just making trouble?"

Son Ara also felt extremely wronged in her heart. Pursing her lips, she looked at her mother. "Can't I regret it? You know quite clearly that the one I liked as a child was Jungkook."

Son Ara's mother's complexion became even more unsightly. "Son Ara, speak less nonsense here. Do you realize how things will play out with the Jeon Family if they heard these words?"

"In my childhood, it was precisely you who told me that Jungkook was not Auntie Lin's child and ordered me not to interact with him anymore."

"So? At that time, the person who was with Junghyun was you; the person who is engaged to him is also you. These were all things you yourself did; not one person pressed you into this, right? You now say you regret this, well, too late!"

Son Ara felt even more wronged at her rant, her eyes reddening a shade darker. Feeling that she couldn't use force against her mother, she instead utilized a spoiled, child-like tone. "Mommy, I understand your intentions. When I was young, you all didn't think highly of Jungkook, so you didn't allow me to interact with him. Now, however, it's different. Uncle Jeon handed over the management of Starlight General Merchandise to him. These past several years, Starlight General Merchandise's turnover has been rising steadily in his hands. Quite a lot of nearby uncles and aunts are becoming increasingly in favor of him."

"That's useless. You're already engaged to Junghyun-is it possible that you're thinking of breaking off the engagement? Even if you break it off, did you think Jungkook would just be together with you? Don't be foolish." Son Ara's mother softened her tone when she said this. Grasping her daughter's hand, she said, "Ara ah, everything father and mother have done are all for you. Even though Jungkook is regarded as valuable now, he has always been... Junghyun is your Auntie Lin's only son. Behind him is the support of the Jeon Family and Lin Family. How can he be compared as inferior to Jungkook."
