Chapter 502

[This is an adaptation, this story is not mine. The credits goes to the original writer. Please do not vote!]

Irene was malnourished because she had lost her appetite during the first few months after she was pregnant. Her appetite had finally improved during the recent one to two months. When she could finally get nourished again, an accident like this had befallen upon her. Although she was more scared than hurt and the mother and the baby were both safe, the doctor still advised her to stay in the hospital for observation temporarily.

For this reason, Jinyoung had been retaining a dark expression for a few days. And the reason for that was this hospital was owned by the Kang family. It really frustrated him!

And this frustration continued to grow under the situation that Seulgi kept showing up in front of him. If it was not because of the doctor saying that the condition of the patient and the baby had just stabilized, and it was not advised to transfer them, he would have transferred Irene to his hospital already!

Jinyoung had never been a person who was willing to resign himself to anything, but for the sake of his sister, who had grown up with him, Jinyoung had to compromise.

He pulled a long face every day because he had been seeing Seulgi, who kept showing up and pacing back and forth in front of Irene's ward. Jinyoung really hated him. He secretly wished that he had beaten him up even harder when he had the opportunity, so that this guy here would not have been able to get up.

When he takes Irene out of this hospital a few days later, he would beat this guy up for good!

It was quite a mess, and quite a show in the hospital, though Jennie did not have the mood to enjoy the show, as she had her own problem to take care of now.

The third day after Irene's accident, Jennie suddenly received a call from Lisa. He informed her that Old Master Manoban, who was supposed to come back on the weekend, had returned earlier than planned, and he hoped that she could take the time out and meet with him in the Manoban Residence in the afternoon.

Old Master Manoban's sudden earlier return had thrown Jennie off guard. After Jennie hung up the phone, her face instantly turned gloomy.

That terrifying expression had frightened Solar, who came in to get Jennie's signature for the documents she was holding in her hands. She shuddered and reflexively took two steps back. She took a glance at the sign on the office door to make sure she had not walked into the wrong room before taking a deep breath and asked with a dry smile, "General Manager, did something happen?"

As soon as Solar finished speaking, she clearly felt Jennie directing her cold gaze at her. With a jolt, she reflexively tried to run away.

*Sob. Rene, please come back soon. General Manager is so scary. I can't handle it on my own!

Unfortunately, Irene was recuperating in the hospital at this moment. She did not hear her cry for help at all.

Under Jennie's intense glare, Solar just stood in front of her like this for a few minutes. When she thought she was about to lose it and pass out, she suddenly heard Jennie heave a sigh and say in a low voice, "If you have anything to report, we'll talk about it tomorrow. I need to go out in the afternoon."

"What?" Solar was stunned. "Why are you going out?"

Jennie's eyes were slightly darkened. She uttered the words, "Meeting! The! In-laws!"

Solar was dumbfounded!

By the time Jennie arrived at Manoban Residence, it was already afternoon. As soon as she stepped out of the car, she saw Lisa waiting at the front door. She was slightly surprised, "Why are you standing outside?"

Lisa walked down from the staircase. He held Jennie's hand and said, "I thought you would be arriving. So I came out to take you there."

Jennie was stunned. Of course she could hear that this was just Lisa's excuse.

She remembered clearly that she only told Lisa in the morning that she would come over in the afternoon, she had not mentioned the specific time to him. Yet Lisa was able to stand at the gate to pick her up on time now. It could not be a coincidence.

Jennie thought more about it and she understood the reason why Lisa had waited for her on purpose. He must be worried that she would be too nervous, that's why he came out here to pick her up, hoping he could relieve her stress.

Upon figuring that out, the expression on Jennie's face had a momentary reprieve, and there were a few traces of Joy and appreciation in her eyes.

It was the end of autumn, but the sun was still a little strong, especially in the afternoon. The sunlight was really strong. Although Lisa's face was as stoic as ever, the sweat on his head and the redness on his cheeks due to the rising temperature were not deceiving her, this guy here had definitely stood her for quite some time.

Lisa took in every bit of change of expression on Jennie's face, though he did not point it out. He said in a deep voice, "Let's go in."

They just walked in holding hands. As soon as they stepped into the Manoban Residence's front door, Jennie clearly felt the strange atmosphere in the Manoban Residence.

Unlike her previous visit and the memory of the time she spent in the Manoban family, the atmosphere of the entire Manoban Residence today was very depressing.

All the servants, who were usually busy working on the chores, were standing in the corner obediently and hanging their heads down like lifeless statues today.

If they had not moved and greeted them when they walked past them, proving that they were still alive, Jennie was almost going to see them as ornaments inside the house.

Probably because they knew Jennie was coming today, on their way inside, other than a few servants, Jennie did not see other people.

Lisa took Jennie up to the third floor of the villa unhindered. After a few turns, they reached the door of a study.

The old butler had been waiting at the door for a long time. He smiled cordially at them when he saw them coming. "Ms. Kim, you are here. Old Master Manoban, Master Manoban and Madam Manoban are waiting inside. Please come in."

The few people inside the room heard the movement and stopped talking at once. They turned their heads to look at the door.

Shin-hye's eyes brightened up the moment she saw Jennie. She stood up from her chair immediately. If Old Master Manoban wasn't there, she would have rushed over and held Jennie's hand already. "Jennie, you are here. Come and say hi to grandpa."

Jennie smiled at Shin-hye before turning to look at the old man, who was sitting in the main seat.

Old Master Manoban was about the same age as Old Master Kim, but they gave out a very different feeling. Old Master Kim also had the authoritative aura of a leader, but he was still a businessman after all. Compared to the authoritativeness, he seemed more scheming like a businessman.

As for this old man in front of her, he could easily intimidate people and make people afraid to look at him by just standing there without having to say anything.

Jennie studied Old Master Manoban imperceptibly and greeted him graciously, "Hello, Grandpa Manoban."

Old Master Manoban did not answer. He just turned his head to look at Tae-joon.

Tae-joon understood it at once. He turned his head and said to Shin-hye, "Dad just said he was craving for the osmanthus pastry you made. Since we have time now, let's go to the kitchen."

Shin-hye looked at Jennie and Lisa. She had some concerns, but in the end, she still said nothing. She nodded and followed Tae-joon out of the room.

After Shin-hye and Tae-joon left, only Lisa, Jennie and Old Master Manoban were left in the study. The atmosphere in the room became a little awkward for a while.

While Jennie was frowning and pondering what to say to break the impasse, Old Master Manoban suddenly uttered, "You... are not Jennie, are you?"
