Pick up a Son, Get a Free Husband 2

Chapter 296: Holding Her Hand Under The Table

"Brother! You had better tell me honestly – did you teach Leo this trick? Did you plan this right from the start, just waiting for this moment? Jeez! Since you've planned this from the outset, you could have let me in on it! I was scared to death earlier!" Jisoo said as he wiped the sweat from his brow, calming down.

Lisa looked at his brother who was terrified out of his mind, and explained, "Your face would have given it away. If Father could see that Leo was instructed to do that, it would only have increased their dislike for Jennie."

"Uhh...my face...is it that expressive?" Jisoo said in surprise.

His brother made sense, he had no room for defense...

However, once the crisis had been averted, Jisoo returned to normal again. He laughed excitedly, "Bro, did you see our parents' faces earlier? It was too funny! The old man was clearly overjoyed, yet he tried to pretend that he was calm. Our mother just straightforwardly pulled Jennie into the house. Jenjen was so stunned!"

Jisoo recalled Jennie's expression and felt a sense of consolation that at least there was someone on the same boat as him.

In the retro style living room, the long dining table was full of various dishes. It was only breakfast, but the spread was even grander than a banquet.

With nowhere to escape, Jennie just went with the flow and sat at the table. Seated opposite her was Mother Manoban, Leo, and Father Manoban. Flanking Jennie was Jisoo, and Lisa.

To dissipate the awkward situation, Jennie initiated the conversation, "Thank you so much, madam, for your warm welcome, but I've already had breakfast ."

In other words, she was trying to convey, "I've eaten! Please let me go!"

With the devil himself so closely on her left and the devil's parents opposite her, she felt immensely pressured!

"Have you eaten? What about Leo? Has he eaten too?" Mother Manoban immediately questioned.

"Yes," Jennie answered carefully, not wanting to speak too much.

"What did Leo eat this morning?"

"He ate a big bowl of dumplings and a few small steamed buns."

"Ohh, then he's eaten quite a lot!" Mother Manoban nodded, before she asked with concern, "Did he vomit or feel sick?"

Father Manoban looked at Jennie curiously.

Jennie shook her head, assuring, "That didn't happen."

Both parents were relieved.

"Then see if there's anything you like to eat, and dig in!" MotherManoban said as she personally served Jennie a small plate of lemon fish cutlets.

Unable to reject her kind hospitality, Jennie thanked her gracefully.

Father Manoban then cleared his throat and gave his wife a look. Mother Manoban instantly understood, and proceeded to ask, "Miss Jennie, I heard you brought our Little Leo out to play last night?"

Finally, the question she was waiting for...

Jennie's expression immediately tightened, "I'm sorry, I..."

She was about to admit that she had taken Leo away without their permission...

All of sudden, her left hand which was resting on her knee was covered by a warm palm lightly, as if there was some hidden message trying to be conveyed to her.

The unexpected warmth shocked Jennie akin to a cat who's tail was stepped on, and she almost jumped up from her seat. She even choked slightly on her food and started coughing profusely.

Lisa acted nonchalantly and poured her a cup of water, even lifting it up to her lips as if it was the most natural thing to do.
