Pampered Wife's Counterattack | Book 4

739.Blind

He did not have any interactions with the Manoban family's people and was a responsible, good citizen.

The high-rise littering incident was most likely an accident.

As Jennie had saved Ye Yunzhi, her position in the Manoban family improved further.

Somi had to watch silently while the scheme, which she had prepared, benefited Jennie. Yet, she could not expose the truth. This left her extremely angered.

It seemed like her methods were too light!

...

Two days later, Lisa supported Jennie as they strolled through the Manoban family's old mansion's garden.

"You don't have to support me." Jennie spoke helplessly. "Hubby, I've already recovered."

For the past two days, he remained closely by her side to take care of her and had delayed his work significantly.

"In that case, I'll hold you." He lifted her into a princess carry and sat down on the reclining chair ahead. He kept her in his arms and placed her on his lap.

She was already used to him holding her in his arms every so often. She leaned against her firm chest and found that she liked it when this cold and ruthless man doted on her.

Ji Qing, one of the maids, stood at a distance and watched as Jennie shamelessly sat on the man's lap in broad daylight.

She was nearly twenty-six. Yet, she did not have a partner.

Of course, she wouldn't take a liking to any typical man.

She wanted to climb into her Young Master's bed. However, he was bewitched by Jennie and wouldn't take a single glance at any other women.

It seemed like, if she hoped to obtain Young Master's favour, she would only have the opportunity to do so when Jennie was dead!

Ji Qing's expression was filled with jealousy.

Somi stood before the windows in her room in Jing Xin Residence. The windows were half-shut. She held a pair of binoculars in her hand as she observed Jennie and Lisa for a moment. She then shifted the binoculars and saw the burning rage on Ji Qing's expression.

Someone who dreamt of climbing into their master's bed...

However, it wasn't too bad to have foolish people like her who dreamed of the impossible. She was very fond of them as tools.

Somi smirked mockingly.

In the yard, Jennie moved on Lisa's lap to face him.

Her bright, sparkling gaze was fixated on his handsome features. She barely blinked. It was as though she couldn't have enough of him.

"Why do you appear so focused?" His heavy, cold voice was extremely gentle.

"I'm looking at you." She sighed softly. "I wish I could look at you forever."

In her previous lifetime, she had lost her sight for several years from this moment onwards.

There were too many beautiful views she loved in this world.

She took in his charming features and his figure. She wished to look at him forever.

Lisa returned her gaze and noticed a hint of sadness in her eyes. His heart tightened. "Jennie, what's wrong?"

She lifted her hand and caressed his face. "Lisa, you say, if I become blind one day and am no longer able to see you, what do we do?"

He frowned and responded firmly. "That won't happen!"

She insisted. "I'm just saying, what if..."

"There are no 'what ifs'!" He embraced her tightly as though to press her into one being with him. "I won't allow anyone to hurt you in the slightest."

She hugged his waist tightly and recalled that right after she became blind in their previous life, he had shot the maid who blinded her to death. He then found countless famous doctors to treat her.

She once heard him telling a doctor that he needed to cure her no matter what it cost.

Initially, she had been deeply moved because he guarded her side closely, refusing to leave.

Gradually, however, he appeared in front of her less frequently.

At the time, Somi's instigations led her to believe that he disdained her now that she was blind.

In truth, it was because his health had deteriorated and he needed to receive treatment in the hospital. At the time, he had already been doing his best to spend as much time as he could with her.
