Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 270 - Jennie's Amazing, Pure, And Sincere Love!

The familiar woody and minty scent mixed with a unique masculine odor coming from Lisa made a drunk Jennie more docile. In all these years without him, she's been on guard in each second, but upon being beside him, all the guards she set up around herself like an iron wall to keep other people into her life slowly created webbing cracks.

Soon, the dust and pebbles of that wall soon crumpled to the floor without a sound.

At this moment, Jennie was truly drunk and confused but even so, she still recognized the arms of the man she missed so much for three years.

Jennie, "Where have you been?"

Lisa patted her hair and said, "I've been around you."

"Really? Then why didn't I see you around?"

"Because I was hiding."

Jennie pulled her head slightly backward to look at his face and tilted her head as she blinked her eyes. "Why?"

"To protect you."

"Is it fun?"

Lisa shook his head, "No, it was difficult."

Frowning a little, she stared at him as she said, "But why? Isn't hide-and-seek supposed to be fun?"

Lisa realized that her drunken state was clouding her mind again. He helplessly sighed and told her, "Yes... But I find my hide-and-seek torturing. I keep having nightmares of losing you and I couldn't help but want to distance myself from you just so I could keep everyone's eyes away from you so I could protect you and our child."

Jennie silently listened to him talk before asking, "Then why are you here?" she paused for a second before hitting her forehead lightly. She exclaimed softly, "Ah! I forgot I'm dreaming so you, being here, isn't real."

​ Hearing her say this, Lisa's heart was torn apart as he held her once again in his arms. Tightly and filled with warmth. He hugged her until his shoulder shook.

"What's wrong? Is something hurting you?"

Lisa shook his head, "No."

"Then, why are you crying?"

Lisa froze because of the question she asked.

Even he was unable to comprehend why he was crying. He didn't even know when the tears started to fill his eyes.

After losing his mother at a very young age, Lisa only cried when he saw his mother's death. But after the funeral, he never cried again. The tears simply didn't want to appear anymore. However, after not staying beside Jennie and having nightmares of losing her, his sense of control over his entire body seemed to have disappeared.

That must be why his tears went uncontrollable as they continued to slide down his cheeks.

Some people said that men shouldn't cry because crying would make them look weaker. But Lisa didn't look like that at all. To Jennie, he looked so beautiful that even his tears were like diamonds falling down from his eyes. If she was in the right mind, she might have gathered all his tears into a vial and observed if they really turned into diamonds.

More than that, when he cried, there was no sense of shame but only emotions that were kept inside for so long and now running wild.

Jennie patted him in the back like how she would when Leo cried.

Jennie gently comforted him while saying, "It's okay... You're doing okay."

In the past, he was the one who said these few words.

Now, it was her turn.

"If the hide-and-seek is too hard for you, you can come and hide behind me. I will cover up for you. I have enough money and power to do that now. Most importantly, I'm not afraid of anything!" Jennie didn't know what she was saying and only told him whatever came from her heart. Drunk people usually forget whatever stops and filters they should put on their mouths, but their real thoughts and emotions would pour out.
