The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 212: "You Are My Sunshine"

Weekend finally arrived and for the first time, Jackson didn't find himself looking forward to their brotherhood night. The past days since his meeting with Suzy had left him feeling more alone than ever. Her ray of sunlight that greeted him that day was something he now craved for.

Still, even with her business card securely tucked in the safe pocket of his jacket next to his heart, even if he had already memorized her number from the very first day, Jackson didn't dare to give her a call to hear her lovely voice.

He groaned and rubbed his face in frustration, nearly knocking the glasses off his face. He felt like a coward for not mustering enough courage to talk to her. But what would he say anyway? That he liked to hear her voice and that he was somewhat missing her?

If not for the fact that he bothered watching all the series and movies she starred in, Jackson thought that he might actually try to find out where she lived, but his pride wouldn't allow him to do so. He didn't want Suzy to think that he was a creep or a stalker after their first meeting.

Despite his frustration, Jackson left the entertainment room in his house and headed to where he would meet the rest of his brothers. The rest of his brothers were already there, including Jisoo, who recently joined their group. He obviously just arrived before him, as his overcoat was still on him.

"Just in time. I thought you wouldn't be coming tonight. Busy at work?" Ming Yu asked Jackson once he had taken a seat next to Lisa.

"No." He replied. He couldn't lie in front of his brothers, but there was no way he would tell them what kept him busy and occupied these days.

They started playing poker while discussing the recent events in their respective businesses. Jin Young's company had yet to release a mobile multiplayer online battle arena game, which the rest of his brothers, except for Jisoo, had discreetly invested in.

Lisa had the largest share in it, as he was certain that it would be a big hit, based on what he knew from his previous life. Originally, Jin Technologies would need five years to develop the game before its release time, but because of their brotherhood's cooperation, Jin Young's team managed to finish the game earlier than he expected.

"Should we have a game and see how it's faring?" Song Yiran asked with a grin.

"Isn't it a 5v5 game?" Ming Yu replied, looking impassively over his cards.

"Silly. Of course, Jin Young won't play with us. He might steal all the kills, as he knows the maps better than us." Song Yiran retorted.

Jin Young laughed at that.

"You are thinking too much, Yiran. Anyway, let's set the game for some other time. I don't think Jackson and Jisoo are in the mood to play with us." He noted, gathering the rest of his brother's attention.

Jackson groaned, Lisa scoffed, while Jisoo kept his expression neutral. The latter was a little surprised that the rest of them could be so hands-on that they would test the product themselves. He supposed that given the amount of money they invested in Jin Young's team, they needed to see if it's worth the gamble.

"Oh, shit," Song Yiran said. "I thought that I was overthinking when I noticed that Jackson isn't his usual self."

He nudged Lisa to get his attention. "Do you know what's up with him? He's brooding more than usual."

Jackson scowled in his direction. Song Yiran was a little close to the mark, which displeased him. Was he really that obvious?

"So Jackson, care to share what the problem is?" Jin Young grinned at him.
