Long after Lisa had left, Jennie still remained rooted to the same spot, her fingers unconsciously touching her forehead where he had kissed her; it was still burning with sensation...
Although it was just a kiss on her forehead, although she had already secretly kissed him before, it was still the first kiss that had happened when they were both sober.
At this moment, Jennie understood at last...
Lisa had definitely known about her strategy early on, so he had switched tactics!
If he had continued pretending like before, that would have been fine. But if he simply didn't conceal it anymore, changing dark to light, what could she do?
F***! It was over!
She really couldn't win against him!
If she was pushed to the point where she had to lay all her cards on the table, then there could only be one outcome, and they might part on bad terms, or worse...
As Jennie was panicking, she suddenly felt her pants leg being yanked. Looking down, she saw Leo, who was tilting his little head up to look at her.
"Leo..." Jennie saw Leo holding a watercolor painting in his hands, and said in surprise, "Did you finish drawing already?"
Leo nodded shyly, then stared expectantly at her.
Jennie's plans for the near future was all about accompanying Leo. She had already arranged the itinerary yesterday, she would take Leo to fly a kite, and furthermore, they would make it by hand themselves.
After clearly seeing what Leo had painted, Jennie was a little amazed. "This, you painted..."
Apart from her and himself, Leo seldom painted portraits, and people never appeared in the scenery that he painted, but this time, Jennie realized that there were three people in his painting.
White clouds floated in a vast boundless sky, and there were three people sitting on the clouds: a man, a woman, and a little boy between them.
Leo had still used an abstract painting style, but from their characteristics, Jennie could still recognize the people in the painting at a glance: they were her and Lisa, and Leo.
Leo had always never been fond of Lisa, and when he drew, it was only ever her or the both of them together; he had never drawn Lisa.
This was the first time that Leo had also painted Lisa...
Jennie was a little startled, but she quickly recovered. She took Little Bun's hand. "Let's go! Let's use it to make a kite! Grandpa Butler should have already helped us prepare the bamboo canes for the frame!"
Little Bun nodded, but he seemed a little disappointed.
...
Jennie flew a kite with Leo the whole day, and personally cooked that night.
She had taken Leo out to eat the last two days, then had come back very late at night, and had hidden in her room as soon as she returned. Now that it was obvious that this ploy had failed, she didn't need to continue with it.
Just as she finished cooking, Jisoo that guy eagerly came running over after following the scent like a dog, wagging his tail.
"Wow, oh — these are all my favorites... sister-in-law... bah, cough, cough, cough, Jenjen, I've been waiting for you to cook again!"
Speechless, Jennie looked askance at Jisoo. This guy, did he slip just now and call her "sister-in-law"?
"Go and tell your brother that dinner's ready."
"Oh, oh, okay!" Jisoo ran off in a hurry, but at the same time, his heart was full of suspicion. He had accidentally blabbed it just now, which had made him break out in a cold sweat. But unexpectedly Jennie didn't react? Did she not hear him clearly?
At the table, the more Jisoo, who had a keen instinct, looked at the two people, the more he felt that there was something off about them...
"Something is wrong, something is wrong..." Jisoo gnawed on his chopsticks, and drew closer to his brother's ear to whisper, "Brother, did you do something to Jennie? Why does she look so scared of you? She doesn't even dare look at you!"
