Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 279 - Behind The Mask

Lisa didn't expect her to do this, but because he was trained in the military and reacted very fast when she raised her hand to his face. His initial thought was that she was going to slap him and he would willingly accept it, but when he felt her fingers hooking around his mask, he knew what she planned to do.

And even though he stopped her from completely taking the mask off his face, their movements still exposed a bit of the skin underneath the mask.

Jennie's heart was twisted into a knot. Lisa sighed helplessly and with a slight move of his hand, causing the mask to completely fall down to the ground.

-Tak!

Jennie finally saw the face hidden by the mask, and her face was filled with both happiness and sadness.

Two conflicting emotions quickly surged deep inside her as soon as she saw the face of her husband in front of her eyes.

How long has she waited for this to happen? How long has she waited to see him again? Nobody knew how long, but every second, minute, and hour felt so difficult for her to breathe. If not for having Leo early on after their separation, she might have suffered a bit more. But during the six months she was far away from Lisa and without her baby, it really felt like her world had crumbled away.

Lisa watched in silence as he gazed at her.

"You... Is this real?"

Jennie was breathless.

But Lisa only pulled her into his embrace and without a word, he carried her into a room and locked the door. Everything was done very quickly. He held her tightly, and his voice that leaked from her neck seemed as if he wanted to envelope her in his warmth through her skin: "I'm here... This isn't a dream."

Jennie: "But last night-"

That dream she dreamed last night also has him in it.

Lisa stared at her: "You got drunk and mistook it as a dream. But I was there."

Jennie's heart jumped for a moment, but the words came out faster than her mind: "Then, you knew who Leo was for a long time. You stayed next to my house without telling me anything, making me worried about you for the past few months of not contacting me at all. You even posed as somebody else to get close to me. And then, you took Leo away..."

Lisa froze while hugging, but he still nodded.

Lisa guessed she had too many questions to ask, but at this moment, he didn't want to answer them, he just wanted to stay beside her.

Lisa let her go and kissed her on the lips, asking her: "Jennie, do you love me?"

Jennie felt stunned at his questions.

But soon, she responded without any hint of hesitation, "I love you!"

These three words gave Lisa boundless happiness.

He continued to ask: "Will you love me for the rest of your life?"

Jennie nodded, "En, for the rest of my life."

Lisa pulled her back to hug her tightly and said in her ears, "Me too... I can't live without you. But if I die, will you still stay beside me? Of course, it it was you, I would do it too. I could also die with you."

Jennie's mind quickly caught his words and pulled away for a bit before unblinkingly said, "That kind of joke isn't funny at all."

What was he trying to say? Even if he didn't want to separate from her, isn't this a bit too much? Besides, wasn't he completely ignoring the part in the wedding vows 'Till Death Do Us Part?'
