I'm Secretly Married To a Big Shot [JENLISA] (1)

189-190

Lisa looked at her for a few seconds and then smiled.

"They don't know about our marriage yet."

"What?" Nancy feigned astonishment.

"You haven't told them? It's a major milestone, how could you..."

"Jennie isn't ready."

Lisa turned to face the girl beside him and patted her on the head.

"I'll take her home only when she's ready."

"Before that, if she doesn't wish to go to my house yet, then we shan't go."

He didn't sound especially gentle, but it wasn't hard to detect the affection in it.

He made it very clear.

Regardless of the matter, he would respect Jennie's decision.

They'd do it her way.

How much did a man like Lisa have to love her for him to pamper her this way?

Especially when he had always been used to making decisions on his own.

It had always been others compromising and going along with his say, never the other way around.

Even Chan and Ji yong were surprised to hear him say that, let alone Nancy.

Nancy asked this because she thought that Lisa wasn't ready to take Jennie home to his parents.

She wanted to let Jennie know this.

But Lisa's reply was a slap to her own face.

"Oh, i-is it?" Nancy's voice shook.

"Mm," Lisa replied simply.

At this point, the waiter entered with a serving of ice-cream.

He had ordered it for Jennie.

Lisa received it and handed it to her. "Don't eat too much, lest you get an upset stomach."

Jennie was speechless.

She really wanted to say, Chairman Manoban, can you not treat me this well?

It's really stressful!

She'd felt the weight on her shoulders ever since she realized that Nancy liked Lisa.

How could she not feel pressured? She was sharing a table with a woman who saw her as a love rival!

And yet Lisa was overtly showing her so much concern.

Jennie felt as if she could see the daggers in Nancy's eyes.

Just like... at this exact moment.

She took a bite of the ice-cream and immediately heard the man beside her chuckle.

"Is it good?"

"Uh..." Jennie swallowed the ice-cream and said, "It's pretty good."

It was such a high-class restaurant, how could anything be subpar?

"Mm." Lisa nodded.

"Let me try some."

Jennie was speechless.

"Y-You want to try some?" She looked up at him.

Lisa raised a brow. "I can't?"

"Of course you can."

But didn't he say he wasn't really into desserts?

And she'd never seen him have them before.

"Then let me try some," Lisa repeated.
