Mr Manoban's Daring Wife 2 [Jenlisa]

Chapter 266: Perverted

Kwon Jae Wook already had a suspicion that Jennie was living with Lisa. He just hoped she would one day tell him the truth herself, instead of hiding it, with the fear that he would be angered by the news.

In the end, Kwon Jae Wook knew staying by Lisa's side was much safer than being in this house. Everyone employed in Lisa's house was skilled in fighting either with guns, or knives; in one form or another. He knew should anything happen; their first priority was to always protect Jennie.

"Do you plan on telling Lisung Manoban about the General?" Kwon Jae Wook asked her.

Jennie nibbled on her bottom lip. She did not want to. She knew how barbaric Lisa would become if he discovered someone was after her and how that someone would go through all sorts of means just to drag her back to his den. She did not want to endanger Lisa. If there was truly someone in this world who could rival Lisa, it would be the General.

"If you do not tell him, I will."

"No!" Jennie blurted out, panicking at the idea. "If anyone is going to tell him, it has to be me." It would not look good if he discovered the truth from someone else.

She quietly added, "I'll tell him eventually, but I need some time to collect my thoughts."

"What are you so worried about?"

"I don't want to make him worry over me. He already has a company and the triad to run—"

"Why do you place insignificant things before you?" Kwon Jae Wook tilted his head. "In his life, you should be his only priority. The others are only miscellaneous hobbies."

Jennie also wondered why she did it. In the past, she was ill-tempered, selfish, and self-centered; where everything had to be about her. She forced her way into Kai's life even though he did not want her. She did not want Lisa to leave her if she was suddenly demanding his attention.

"You're legally his wife. You can steal all of his attention and demand his entire world to be about you. I doubt he would protest, especially in this blissful and happy-go-lucky stage of your relationship." Kwon Jae Wook coyly suggested with a sly smile on his face. She had every good card in her hand, yet refused to utilize it. Such a foolish thing and it went against everything he had taught her.

"I know." Jennie muttered. "But it's not going to be fair—"

"He's not Kai." Kwon Jae Wook deadpanned, seeing right through her. Even though there were so many things that differentiate that Kim prick from Lisung Manoban, he knew she was still terrified. It would be hard to brush off the wounds from the past, especially when they ran deeper than it should have.

"Unlike the bastard who could not differentiate coal from gold, Lisa will not push you away. From my viewpoint, he would do the exact opposite. The less you give him to work with, the more he'll pry." Kwon Jae Wook sighed inside of his head. Young love. What a nice thing to have.

Kwon Jae Wook checked the time. "Talk it out with him, Jenjen. He will, without a doubt, understand your problems if you tell him personally."

Jennie slowly nodded her head. "Alright."

Kwon Jae Wook's grumpy face morphed into a smile. He got up and gave her cheek a pat. "Do not worry about insignificant things." He reminded her and walked out of the house, closing the door behind him.

Somi heard the sound of the door closing and hopped her way downstairs. "Where were you yesterday?" She asked, sitting down right beside Jennie on the couch.

"I went to a business lunch and uh, spent the night elsewhere."

Somi let out a burst of teasing laughter, "Well? Am I going to get an adorable niece or nephew anytime soon? Say, nine months from now?" She nudged Jennie, watching as a bright red blush traveled from her cheek to her ears.

Somi gasped, "No way! Really?!"

Jennie shook her head, "No, you're not going to get one anytime soon."

Somi pouted, "Why not?"

"Because you can't take care of one." Jennie teased, pinching Somi's nose before she went down the hallway and towards the kitchen. She was hungry after not eating much the entire day.

"Wait, so if I learn how to, you'll give me a niece?!" Somi chased after her best friend, grabbing her elbow as the two walked towards the kitchen together.

"Nope." Jennie tapped Somi on the nose just as she began to pull a pan out of a cabinet. But sure enough, the housekeeper came forward.

"What would you like to eat, Madam?"

"Just a light lunch." Jennie said.

"We'll have two heavy lunches, thank you!" Somi butted in before dragging Jennie out of the kitchen.

"I still have to eat dinner you know."

"Or my brother." Somi muttered under her breath.

"What was that?" Jennie asked, genuinely not hearing what her perverted friend said.

"Nothing, nothing! Don't worry about it." Somi winked as she dragged Jennie to the foyer. They were close to making it upstairs when Somi's phone rang and together, they saw the daunting name, "Manager From Hell."

"Ugh!" Somi let out a tired groan before declining the call.

"What's wrong?" Jennie asked, guiding Somi to the couch to have a thorough conversation. They haven't had one in a long time now.

"Well, you know I started SMF right?" Somi started off. She fiddled with her fingers, anxious at what she was about to say. "I thought it would be better to focus on the brand instead of modeling."

Jennie put two and two together. "You're going to stop modeling?"

"Yeah... It's really tiring and draining." Somi had debated whether or not she should hand in her resignation letter for a while now. It was on her desk at all times and because of it, her manager caught sight of it one day.

"Did you make an official statement yet, or... ?"

"I was thinking of handing in my resignation letter before the entire Mu Ting incident... It was also why we fought." She mumbled. "Before my grandfather's banquet, we had been getting into a lot of arguments...and on the night of it, I broke up with him not knowing he was in my house with a surprise."

Somi could still remember flickering the lights on in her house, only to see a group of people in it. Needless to say, one argument after the other, mingled with alcohol, everything went out of hand.

"He only wanted to date someone famous and well... here I am." Somi rested her head on Jennie's shoulders.

"Modeling was something I enjoyed for a while, but like most of my hobbies, I got bored with it. It put a strain on me mentally and physically." Somi never wanted to tell anyone this, but there was a day she collapsed from exhaustion. She made her manager and entire team swear to never tell anyone of the hospitalization, for it was not only exhaustion she was fighting, but it was also a lack of food. It was hard being a model, especially when one was a foodie, but was forced to be mindful of everything she consumed.

"Whatever you do, Somi, I will support you every step of the way. Think over your decisions carefully and whatever you choose, make sure you don't have any regrets, okay?"

"Okay, I will." Somi quietly smiled, gradually her eyes fluttering shut as she fell asleep.

Jennie waited a few minutes before she slowly eased Somi's body onto the couch, went upstairs to grab a blanket and draped it over her sleeping body. She needed all the rest that she could get and Jennie would not interrupt it.
