When Jennie woke up the next morning, her head was pounding and her throat felt dry and itchy. She groaned and rolled onto her side, facing her husband's chest.
Lisa's arms went around her and pulled her close, placing a kiss on her forehead.
"Good morning." He murmured, brushing some of her hair away from her face to look at her.
Even with such a low tone, Jennie felt her head throb. She groaned and closed her eyes, taking in shallow breaths in an attempt to lessen her discomfort. She couldn't remember feeling this drunk ever since Rosé's eighteenth birthday.
"You drank too much last night." Lisa explained. "You should have known this would happen after I warned you not to accept Ming Yu' s concoctions." He added, kissing her cheek affectionately this time.
"Can't help it. I'll try not to allow any alcoholic drinks to touch my lips next time." She promised. "I just hope I didn't make a scene last night."
"You are good. As long as I'm here with you." Lisa answered, keeping the truth of last night's spectacle from her. She had actually made a fortune last night when she beat Jin Young and Ming Yu at poker in her drunken state.
The bed shifted as he climbed out of it, leaving Jennie for a moment. He returned with a small basin in his hands, which she immediately snatched from him and threw up all the contents of her stomach in it.
"Sorry. I feel sick." Indeed, she should have listened to her husband when Lisa asked her to stop drinking, but Jennie had already lost count of how many drinks Ming Yu had handed her last night.
Lisa winced and took away the basin to discard its content and returned with a damp towel to wipe her face. He had a feeling that this wouldn't be the last time he would do it and he needed to brace himself to endure in the future.
"I feel gross. Can I take a quick shower instead?" Jennie's half-lidded eyes found him seated on the edge of the bed.
He sighed and helped her get up. Thankfully, she didn't throw up all over him last night when they returned home and Hye Kyo was already asleep and didn't know that Jennie had come home drunk.
"Why do I feel like I gained a daughter instead of a wife?" He said, clearly teasing her, as he brought her to their ensuite bathroom.
Jennie shut her eyes and hummed. Lisa as a father? Now that was something she was eager to see again.
"You will be an amazing father someday. I just know I married the perfect one." She replied.
Even when he was raising a child that wasn't his, Lisa had been a good father to Liam. Jennie didn't doubt that he would be a good father to their children, if only she could get over her trauma from her previous life.
Lisa settled her on a bench in their bathroom and helped her discard her clothes, while trying his best not to get turned on by her nudeness. He hadn't been able to have her for a whole week since her father arrived, and he didn't have the guts to seduce her anyway.
He decided to focus on his task, giving his wife a quick shower and drying her hair once she was dressed in a new set of clean clothes. Once done, Jennie curled on the bed again to sleep.
"Rest, love." Lisa told her, brushing a hand over her cheek as he scooted closer to her. "You have a few hours before we leave for tonight's event." He reminded her.
"Okay." She groaned sleepily. She almost forgot that Lisa had asked her to become his partner for the party he was attending tonight.
"Remind me not to drink anything other than water tonight." She said before drifting to slumberland, leaving her husband amused over her concerns.
