The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 192: A Guarded Heart

Jennie alighted from the car and glanced at the grand manor that was isolated from the other estates. It was her first time coming to the Kim family manor with the intention of visiting her best friend. Their small talk during the party wasn't enough for her and knew that she needed her best friend at a time like this.

The old housekeeper of the family led her to the gardens to wait for Rosé. Jennie walked slowly to the shaded patio as she took a good look at the place. It seemed that the lady of the house had been paying attention to the garden as she had seen familiar varieties of flowers along the way.

"Jennie!"

Jennie turned her head and found Rosé rushing towards her with a hint of blush on her face. She was dressed in a light blue blouse and white skirt that reached above her knees with her shoulder length hair tied in a ponytail. She looked happier and healthier now that she wasn't working the graveyard shift in the hospital.

"You look good, Rosie. How's work?" She smiled at her best friend, allowing Rosé to drag her to the deepest part of the garden where they could have a private talk.

"It's fine. They are treating me well and I now have the time to focus on my notes." Rosé replied. "But sometimes I feel like time is passing too slow here."

Without the adrenaline rush she usually experienced in her previous workplace, Rosé was starting to find the silence deafening at the Kim manor.

"So do you want to quit then?" Jennie raised a slender brow at her in question.

"God, no." Rosé exclaimed. "I like my job. It's not everyday I would be given a chance to work and study at the same time. I just need to get used to it."

They took a seat next to the fountain. Jennie gracefully tucked a stray hair behind her ear as they sat.

"So what about you and Lisa? Is everything alright? He's not pressuring you into something you don't like, is he?" Jennie asked in return.

Jennie gave her a weak smile. She couldn't tell if it was a problem, since Lisa hadn't raised the issue of his memories again. She wasn't sure of how much he could remember of the past, but she knew she owed him an apology for everything he'd gone through because of her.

"We're fine. He's treating me well. He's been patient with me."

"Even in bed?" Rosé asked with a grin, earning a blush from Jennie.

"We're good. We're learning together."

Jennie couldn't possibly tell her best friend that she and Lisa couldn't keep their hands off of each other and were doing it more frequently now, like bunnies in heat. If Lisa hadn't been using protection, she would think that he was trying to put a baby in her, given how affectionate he was recently.

Lisa had been extra clingy on her these days and she didn't have to deny him of her touch, not when she knew that it could lessen the worry in his heart. She wanted to assure him in any way that she wouldn't come to hate him. Never. Not when she had witnessed all those sins with her own eyes.

"That's good then. But have you already talked about having a kid in the future?" Rosé asked.

Silence was the answer she got from Jennie.

Lisa had told her that she was not under any obligation to give him one, but Jennie knew that the Manoban family would pressure them into it.

"We're not ready for that yet, Rosie. So many things have happened these days."

"Like?"

Rosé waited for Jennie to explain and the other could only sigh and rest her head against her best friend's shoulder. Jennis briefly wondered why she wasn't as tall as her husband or Rosé.
