Jennie sat down obediently like an elementary school student. Her face looking like she wanted to cry.
Lisa held his head in one hand, "You're scared of me?"
In the dark of the night, Lisa seemed even more devilishly dangerous compared to his cold self in the day.
Jennie shook her head vigorously, then nodded carefully, "There's probably not a single person who isn't scared of you in the capital, right?"
Lisa's slender fingers played with the cup in his hands as he slowly said, "So you're scared of me because others are afraid of me? Then why don't you marry me since other women want to as well?"
This question frightened Jennie to the point that she almost slid off her chair.
She had just thought that she had escaped this trial in the day. Clearly she had really been too naive.
How was she supposed to answer such a loaded question?
Jennie trembled as she raised her hand, "Before answering this question, can I ask another one?"
Lisa nodded, "You may."
"Why me? Is it because Leo is reliant on me? I think that it's only temporary. He'll be fine once his emotions have stabilised. Even if he is always like that, you don't have to...... you don't have to inconvenience yourself in this manner......" Jennie painstakingly persuaded him as if advising a young girl that had strayed off the right path.
Lisa put down the cup and raised his eyes to look at her, "I thought I made it clear the first time Ms Kim. I don't mind saying it again if you still don't understand. I am going to repay you with my body because you saved Leo."
It's exactly because of this reason that I can't accept this okay!? Jennie roared in her heart.
Jennie felt that she wasn't able to communicate any further with him on this point. She could only make an apologetic expression, "Mr Manoban, I'm extremely grateful for your good intentions. I'm absolutely against marriage though, so......"
Lisa raised a brow, "So, you only want to sleep with me? Yet you don't want to take responsibility by marrying me?"
"Yes, that's exactly righ-wait! No no no no...... that wasn't what I meant!" Jennie was about to kneel for him. Could he be any more terrifying with his words?
"Unfortunately, I can't accept premarital sex."
"Who would believe that......." Jennie could not help mumbling under her breath after hearing that.
You've already gotten someone pregnant before marriage, okay?
Lisa's expression was a little unfocused as he looked out the window, "Leo was an accident, I don't know who his mother is."
"......" Why did this sound so terrible?
"Then you're minding that I have a son?" Lisa suddenly asked.
"That's impossible!" It's as Lisa said, all the women in the capital were wracking their minds to be Leo's stepmother. How could she mind that he had a son!
"Then why?"
Judging by the way things were going, Lisa would not be letting her off unless she provided a satisfactory answer.
Jennie held her forehead helplessly. She said after taking a deep breath, "Mr Manoban, marriage is not a game. Regardless of whether it's for the sake of repaying a debt or other reasons, we just met. Do you understand my personality? Do you know my past?"
"The one I want to marry is the present you. Your past has nothing to do with me." Lisa's answer was overbearing as expected.
Jennie's expression cooled down, "However, to me, my past is also a part of me. I have no way of cutting off my past to marry you. Mr Manoban, we are travelling on different paths. I sincerely suggest that you take back your absurd idea."
Following that was a thick silence.
Jennie thought that the other would start throwing a huge temper due to the humiliation of being rejected again.
Lisa spoke up with an even tone, "Understood."
Jennie's tightly wound nerves finally relaxed, "Then I'm going to sleep, good night."
"Good night."
The man looked at that frail back, his gaze was as unfathomable as the ocean depths. The only thing that didn't change was the heat that came from the seabed.
