Mr Manoban's Daring Wife [Jenlisa]

Chapter 181: Its Good

"Well, let's not dwell too long by the door." Chittip Manoban spoke up, her motherly tone easily coming out when she saw Lisa's change in emotions.

His expressions at home were always as stiff as a rock, as cold as an iceberg, and as lifeless as the Dead Sea. However, with Jennie's presence, she dared to say there was a hue of tenderness in his eyes.

"Mommy, Jenjen was the one who hired a hacker to look into the previous assassination attempt a while back." Somi knew Jennie was too humble to bring up her good deeds and therefore, rambled about it in her place. She was always known to be a talkative little thing and this babbling mouth of hers was a frequent thing in the household.

Marco Manoban paused at his daughter's words. He recounted a while back, he and his wife were panicking as they tried to seek after the bastard that dared to take a hit at their son's life and god forbid, nearly succeeded in doing so.

"Is that so." He pleasantly responded, not dwelling on the information any longer.

"Also, she donated a lot of blood for Lisa oppa! It was so much, she nearly passed out!"

Chittip Manoban brightened at the news. This girl not only looked into his assassin but also donated blood to save her son! It seemed this woman was not that bad after all...

"Hm, that's good." Marco Manoban nodded.

Somi thought his reaction was too bland and was about to speak up until she saw the approval in her father's eyes. It was barely there, but it was better than nothing.

Chittip Manoban sighed at her husband's behavior, he was always like this to strangers, even though Jennie should not be considered as one. Given her extremely influential background, she should've been welcomed into the house by him, but because she was not his first choice in the marriage arrangement, he was behaving like this.

Chittip Manoban was different. Regardless of Jennie's tainted reputation, she made up her mind to support this woman. It was the first time her son ever brought home a woman so willingly, furthermore, he also seemed smitten by her. Ever since he entered this house, his eyes were trained on her and no one else. It seemed like the entire world was a blur to him when she was present.

Additionally, Jennie seemed very caring of her son. Her reputation might be bad, but it's something that could easily be changed!

All five of them sat down for dinner and all the dishes were served, but Jennie did not pick up her chopsticks until Marco Manoban, the eldest at the table, had his first bite. Marco Manoban was extremely impressed by this courteous behavior of hers as it showed that she was well-raised and in a traditional manner too.

Chittip Manoban was attentively watching Jennie as well, scrutinizing everything from the way she sat to the way she ate.

Chittip Manoban decided it would be a good time to start firing questions while they ate in hopes of getting to know her behavior better. In the past, she was painted to be a very irrational woman who let her temper get the best of her. She wondered if that ill-temper of hers still existed.

"I heard you graduated from Harvard at the top of your classes. What are you currently doing with your business degree?" It was a genuine question, but Marco Manoban paid more attention to it than his wife.

Jennie paused at the question, carefully thinking her response through before replying. "I used to be a consultant for one of the top five companies." She deliberately left out the names and the fact that she was still doing it for her grandfather. If word got out that she was his consultant, there would be too many people attempting to poach her.

"You're unemployed now?" Chittip Manoban was eager to know the answer to this question. She preferred her daughters-in-law to not have a job and instead, stay at home to become a housewife who would cater to her husband's parents.
