Lisa was speechless. "..."

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with control, tolerance, and some helplessness. "You have to say it right now?"

"Mm!" Jennie nodded.

"... Alright, say it then. What is it?"

Jennie looked at the flames of passion in his eyes and bit her lip. She firmly said, "I-I'm not a virgin anymore!"

She thought for a long time and eventually decided that she should tell him before he found out for himself.

He should be given a choice of whether to go on with her after learning about this.

If... he felt that she was too dirty and didn't want to touch her anymore, she'd fully understand.

He was still a virgin, he had the right to expect his partner to be the same.

Lisa was stunned. The shock in his eyes was not too obvious, and yet it was unmistakable.

It seemed like he never expected her to say this.

Jennie could see his reaction clearly. As much as she understood his feelings, she still felt a little hurt.

A little... sad.

As she guessed, he did find her dirty.

But that night, she had been the victim.

She'd already known that he might despise her for it and was mentally prepared.

Why did she still feel upset?

She blinked a few times, trying to keep her sadness in. She then said as indifferently as possible, "If you mind it, we don't have to go on anymore. I'm sorry, I should've told you this before we got married, but back then I wasn't thinking so much."

"If you'd like a divorce now, we can go to the Ministry tomorrow to settle it. But Tae is innocent. I hope you won't get angry with him because of me and call off his surgery."

Jennie had always felt that her marriage with Lisa wasn't because of love.

There was no foundation for their feelings in this marriage. It didn't matter much if it ended.

She wouldn't be sad over this.

But for some reason, her heart hurt when she mentioned the word "divorce".

It was as if her heart was stabbed.

And she actually felt reluctant to end it!

It was only now that she found out, she wasn't as nonchalant about this marriage or divorce.

She actually... did not want to get a divorce with Lisa!

Was it because he'd been too nice to her and she'd gotten used to it?

Was she afraid that she'd lose all of this special treatment?

Was that why she didn't want a divorce?

Before she could think any further, the man suddenly asked, "Was your first time with Kai?"

Jennie looked up at him.

She did not see any trace of unhappiness or despise on his face. In fact, he didn't look angry at all too.

She kept silent for a while as she recalled what happened that night. "... No."

"Then who?"

Lisa's eyes flickered. "Who did you give your first time to?"

Jennie bit her lip before finally saying, "I don't know."

She smiled as if mocking herself. "I don't know who he is. I was drunk that night, and barely conscious. A few strangers had brought me to a hotel room."

"They left me in the room and took their leave. I lay in bed for a while, sleepy and giddy, and then a man entered."

At this point, her eyes were red and her fists were clenched into balls. "I-I didn't manage to see what he looked like."

"I was so lost, confused, and scared. I just wanted to leave. But I really regret it now..."Lisa's expression changed a little.

"What do you regret?"

Jennie clenched her teeth. "I regret leaving just like that. I should've beaten that jerk up and called the police on him. But... I didn't."

Lisa was speechless. "..."

"Would you manage to beat him up?"

"I would have to!"

"You hate him... that much?"

"Given what he did, doesn't he deserve to be hated?"

He could see the anger in Jennie's eyes now.

"He's a jerk, a bastard, a despicable scum!"

Lisa was speechless. "..."

He suddenly felt bothered.

He had intended to find time to tell her about that night someday.

But now...

Given how much she hated the man that night, would she ever forgive him if she found out?

Lisa couldn't be sure.

He kept quiet for a moment. "You... can't remember how he looked like at all?"

Jennie shook her head.

She suddenly widened her eyes at him.

Lisa looked at her a little guiltily. "... What's wrong?"

Jennie eyed him for a few seconds, then shook her head. "It's nothing."

She just... had a familiar feeling when Lisa asked her that question.Those eyes full of desire, they reminded her of the man that night.

The fiery eyes in the dark...

But the next moment, she found that the shadow over her disappeared.

Jennie realized that Lisa was now lying on the other side of the bed.

He lay in silence for a while before sitting up slowly.

He closed his eyes for a while and then said, "I just remembered that I have some documents to go through. I'll be in the study for a while. There's a computer in the room, the password is 2207. You can use it as you wish. There's a theater on the first floor, let Lei En know if you want to watch a movie. He'll get someone to set it up for you."

"If you wish to go for a stroll, you can get a housemaid to follow you to the garden."

"Let Lei En know too if you want to eat anything. Also, I got him to prepare some basic everyday necessities for you. You can go have a look at clothes, shoes, bags, and whatnot. Let him know if you don't like them, he'll get you some new ones. I'll be a bit late tonight, go to sleep if you're tired. You don't have to wait up for me."

With that, he turned to look at Jennie.

Jennie was lying on the bed stiffly, with one hand still grabbing the bedsheet.

She was trying hard not to cry as she took a deep breath. She then smiled and nodded. "Mm, I got it."

Lisa furrowed his brows slightly.

"Jennie." He pulled her in for a hug and then kissed her forehead.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. I actually don't mind it. It's just, I remembered I have some important matters to attend to, so..."

"I know." Jennie nodded before he was done talking.

"I'm not letting my thoughts run wild. You can go and do your work, I understand."

Lisa looked at her, a little worried. "You really aren't?"

He knew that it was hard for her not to misunderstand him, given that he stopped at such a juncture.

But after finding out that she was so upset and angry over the night he took her virginity, he simply couldn't pretend he didn't know about it and get on with the night with her.

He suddenly lost the mood for it.
