The moment the thought rose in Lisa’s mind, he was overwhelmed by joy and also deeply regretted doubting Jennie and for being so jealous.
Jennie had been good to him ever since she promised to spend her life with him. She never went against her word and was perfect. However, he kept keeping an eye on her even though he had promised to trust her.
Lisa kept checking to see if she had fallen for Kai again. He kept tabs on everything she did and spoke. He also thought about every word she said and speculated what they truly meant. Every moment, he was trying to figure out how she felt about him without actually being completely honest with her and trusting her. He might have even hurt her in the process. He almost let her down once more.
Lis felt overwhelmed by his emotions. His fingers trembled slightly as he continued reading her notebook.
[I finally know where to get the plant. It’s called the yao orchid. It got exported abroad a long time ago. Even though no one is able to cultivate it locally anymore, it is still being cultivated abroad. I have to buy it, extract its essence, and give it to Lisa!]
Her handwriting was just like her. It was beautiful and intelligent.
He could almost hear her uttering every word he read.
Lisa held the notebook tightly in his hand as he clenched his fist. A thought kept running through his mind. He was the most important man in her life!
From now on, he would never trust rumors.
Seulgi ran over hurriedly with his head covered in sweat. Ever since Lisa strode out of the auction, he followed closely behind Lisa. He was worried something bad would happen.
Seulgi ran the wrong way, so it took him some time to catch up with Lisa. By the time he caught up with Lisa and gasped breathlessly, he noticed Lisa was not as agitated as he expected and seemed calm. However, there was an intimidating look in Lisa’s eyes.
“Mr. Manoban?” asked Seulgi cautiously.
“Let’s go home,” said Lisa immediately.
After the car pulled up, Seulgi did not think too hard about today. After all, he genuinely did not know what happened.
For the first half of the auction, he wanted to strangle Jennie and ask her whether she had a conscience. For the second half of the auction, he was completely oblivious of what happened.
***
Jennie had already gone back to Repulse Bay Villa.
She had deliberately left her notebook behind for Lisa.
She certainly did not search for the yao orchid high and low because of Kai.
She wondered if Lisa would read the notebook carefully.
She had cut the yao orchid earlier so that she could use it on him immediately.
The moment she got home, she placed the yao orchid petals in water and prepped them for use. As she understood, the stem could be used for something else.
Just as she contemplated, she heard the butler shouting, “Welcome home, Mr. Manoban!”
Jennie sat up straight.
Lisa gave off a cool imposing aura.
Seulgi followed behind Lisa. He had a nagging feeling that Lisa was about to raze the villa to the ground any moment now.
However, he didn’t text Jennie to warn her. If Jennie had fallen for someone else, she deserved this!
Lisa looked emotional as he approached her.
Jennie kept wondering in her heart if he had read the contents of her notebook as he approached her. If he had not read her notebook, she would have to spend some time explaining it to him.
In an instant, Lisa pulled her up and drew her into his arms.
