Jennie had been smiling as she listened. When she heard till the end, she had tears in her eyes instead.
"Eh, Sis-in-law, why are you crying?! Did I say something wrong?" Jisoo had been rambling on in a lively manner, but when he saw this, he was immediately worried.
Lisa's expression changed too. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Jennie shook her head.
Just when she thought about how Lisa had completed something that was meant for two people to do together by themselves, there was an unexplainable pain clutching at her heart.
...
The three of them discussed for a while and at last, they decided to meet up that night.
After Jisoo left, Jennie immediately went to look for Leo to see the marriage certificate.
The little guy fixed his gaze on Jennie and was unwilling to shut his eyes. He did not sleep for the entire night and only nodded off when it was morning.
Jennie kissed the little guy's sleepy face and asked Lisa softly, "Where is it?"
Lisa held his son's head up slightly, then he pulled out two red folders from underneath his pillow.
Leo frowned softly, but probably because he sensed his mother's familiar aura, he very quickly rubbed his hand against the back of his mother's and fell asleep soundly.
Jennie carefully opened the marriage certificate. She kept flipping it to study it over and over again. As she looked through it, she softly muttered, "Mmm, this is not a fake certificate, is it?"
Lisa's expression instantly darkened. "It's real."
Jennie looked through this new and odd document for a long time. She still felt that it was incredibly mystical that she was already married when she woke up from her long slumber.
The photo had been taken at the photo sticker booth from when she went out on a date with Lisa. He also had gotten a way to obtain the documents. Even the signature was actually hers...
"You're sure you want to see them?" On the side, Lisa asked with a scowl.
Jennie gripped the marriage certificate in her hands and looked earnestly at the man before her. "Hon, all this while, you've always told me to leave everything to you, but now that we're husband and wife, no matter what the problem is, we should always face it together."
That single phrase "husband and wife" instantly made the space between his brows fill with tenderness...
...
At night.
Jennie, Lisa, and Leo returned to the old residence together as a family of three.
Once they reached the door, they saw that the entire old residence and courtyard looked completely new. The car had just come to a stop when the butler and a servant had jubilantly walked out to greet them, all of them calling out uniformly, "Master, Little Master, Lady!"
Just from the servants' attitudes, they knew that the two elders must have briefed them. From a certain level, the servants represented the opinions of the two elders.
Very soon, a woman with graceful mannerisms had rushed out of the house. It was Mother Manoban.
When she saw Jennie, she was first stunned, then her eyes instantly became wet before she walked over to greet her quickly. She held onto Jennie's hand emotionally. "Jennie, you're here! Why are you wearing so little? Aren't you cold? Lisa, why don't you let Daughter-in-law put on a few more layers of clothes? This weather is a cold snap during spring. It's still cold!"
When Lisa heard his mother's concern, he readily followed the sound advice and added one of his coats onto Jennie's shoulders even though she was already very tightly bundled up.
Behind them, Jisoo shook his head and sighed, "There's a kind of cold called 'your mother thinks you're cold'!"
She shot her son a displeased look. "Your sister-in-law's body is weak right now. I already said that I'll personally go over myself, yet you won't let me! If she's worn out, who are we putting the fault on?"
Jisoo, who got unjustly attacked for just being present, was speechless.
Indeed, bachelors had a statusless existence at home!
"Jennie, quickly come in and have some chicken soup to warm your body up first. I personally stewed it myself for a few hours on low heat!" She cordially clung to Jennie's arm and led her into the house, even forgetting all about her two other sons.
Only Leo was still barely remembered. She added, "Leo, you quickly come too!"
