Back in Brynfield, Lisa was bustling about the kitchen. The aroma of food wafted out from time to time, attracting Jungkook to the kitchen door. He wanted to help, but Lisa said she would do it all by herself since she was treating him to dinner and declined his help. He was watching TV in the hall but felt bored, so he might as well watch his wife cook.

Jungkook looked at Lisa's graceful movements with a deep and gentle gaze. Even though he had not noticed these changes in himself, he felt Lisa possessed many strengths.

"Lisa," Jungkook called out suddenly as a thought popped into his head.

Lisa turned her head to look at him while she continued to cook and asked, "Speak your mind, Mr. Jeon."

"You've taken good care of those few potted plants on the balcony. Can you spare me one to bring to the office so I can put it on my desk?"

Lisa replied matter-of-factly, "That pot is rather big. If you put it in the office, it's best not to put it on the table as it'll take up too much space. Just pick a spot in the office and place it there."

"But I want to put it on my desk. I heard from my colleagues that the plant symbolizes fortune, so I thought if I put it on my desk, it could help me attract fortune."

"Then, you might as well buy a lucky cat and put it on your desk."

Lisa scooped up the stir-fried vegetables and transferred them onto the plate while saying, "If you want to put it on your desk, I can give you a miniature tree handicraft. It's not big, so it won't take up much space. It looks good and has a meaningful symbolism."

Jungkook spoke in such a big roundabout way because he wanted his wife to give him the handicrafts she made. His wife fell into his trap willingly, and he gladly played along "Do you have any in stock? Your handicrafts are intricate. Nana loves them so much that she puts them in the most conspicuous places in the house. Whenever anyone asks, she'll just sing praises of you."

Nana praised Lisa highly, so much so she became Jungkook's wife.

"I do have some in stock, but they're all orders for my customers. I won't have to rush in giving it to you since we live together. I'll pass you a miniature tree tomorrow. Do you also want a lucky cat?"

Jungkook did not mind as long as Lisa was willing to give him her handmade crafts. He would not steal from her customers.

"Can you make a lucky cat?"

"Yup."

Jungkook smiled. "Then I'll be greedy for once and ask for a lucky cat."

Bambam did not have a lucky cat, and now Jungkook had one item more than Bambam. "If your colleagues like them, please send them the link to my online store to support my business!"

After a moment of silence, Jungkook said, "Many of my colleagues already know about your online store because Bambam recommended it to them." Bambam stole Jungkook's opportunity and took the lead.

Jungkook was in dismay. However, on second thought, Bambam recommending Lisa's handicrafts would only mean more money for Lisa. Since Lisa was his wife, he could still reap some benefits from it. With this in mind, Jungkook no longer felt too depressed about it.
