My Precious Family [Jenlisa]

Chapter 135: Same train of thoughts

The weekend rolled in without conditions. Because of what happened in the learning center, Lisa decided to not attend the Manoban Family gathering. He couldn't bring his son to the family gathering with all that bruise on Jevin's face. 

How could he?    

Bringing him to the family gathering would only make things worse. Not only Grandma Manoban, but his parents would take action against the other party. Lisa didn't want to make the problem a lot bigger with them jumping into the picture.     

Therefore, the family of three spent the weekend in the mansion. Jennie tended to Jevin's bruises, spending every minute of the weekend by his side. Meanwhile, Lisa also never left his wife and son unless he needed to make quick phone calls.    

"Ahem!" Jennie cleared her throat to get her son's attention, making the latter turn his head from the book he was reading.     

They were currently by the pool with Jennie sitting on the edge of the lounge chair, facing him. She had her hands on either side of her, wearing this curious look on her face.     

"Jevy, does having a bodyguard bother you?" she inquired, discreetly sliding her eyes to the corner to see where their new bodyguard stood.     

It has only been a day since Bear started working as Jennie and Jevy's bodyguard. Lisa wanted to hire one for each of them, but she negotiated. With Bear's qualifications, Lisa agreed to keep one around and the rest in the headquarters.     

"Hmm." Jevin glanced at where Bear stood. The latter was standing from the distance, enough to give him and Jennie some privacy. "Does his presence bother you?"    

Of course.    

"Not really." She lied, shaking her head. "I'm just thinking about your thoughts about it."    

"It's fine." Jevin snapped his eyes back to Jennie. "Father already told me about my punishment beforehand, so I already knew he would be hiring a bodyguard to watch my every movement. I understand his paranoia."    

Her face twitched slightly while trying to maintain her smile. Jennie was so sure Jevin would find this new setup uncomfortable, but he was taking it much better than she thought. In fact, Jevin didn't seem to care.    

'Why am I surprised?' she wondered. 'All my son's life, he was being watched by many people. For him, another pair of eyes was just an addition to the countless servants in the mansion.'    

Jennie mentally rocked her head in understanding. 'Well, I should do the same.' she slowly shifted her eyes in Bear's direction.     

'If he sees me as a pampered wife of Lisa Manoban, he would eventually lower his guard. Maybe he's not a threat I thought he was.' Jennie convinced herself to treat Bear's presence as just another servant's presence. After all, the servants in this mansion were quite a lot, but their numbers didn't deter her from enjoying her life with her husband and son.     

Little did she know, Jevin had the same thought. The little master of the house glanced in Bear's direction.     

'If I behaved for a while, he will eventually lower his guard,' thought Jevin, peeling his eyes from Bear's figure back to the book he was reading. 'Not a threat.'    

With that being said, another moment of silence befell the mother and son. Jevin continued to read the book he had been reading since a few days ago while Jennie reclined on the lounge chair. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon; the last day of Jevin's vacation break.     

"By the way, Mommy will be working," she broke the silence, head turned to the other lounge chair beside her. "I got a minor role in the movie my friend will be working in. I didn't think I told you about it."    

Jevin looked back at her once again, blinking. "Congratulations."    

"Are you okay with that?"    

"Yes. Why?"    

"Well." Jennie shrugged. "You might think it will affect our special time together."    

"My mother loves acting. I'm happy if going back to work will make you happy."    

It wouldn't!    

At this moment, Jennie just wanted to live this life as a luxurious wife. Working was not a problem for her, but she didn't feel the need to do something else other than enjoy this life with Jevin and Lisa.     

"Hehe. My baby is the sweetest for sure~!" Still, Jevin's thoughtfulness made her happy. "Don't worry. It was just a minor role, so they will only need me in the set for a short while. I just thought I should do something while you were in school and Daddy is at work."    

Jevin rocked his head in understanding. "This friend you were talking about... is it, Ms. Jung?"    

"Yes." Jennie smiled before her brows rose, seeing the slight glint in Jevin's eyes. "Why? Jevy?"    

"Nothing." Jevin shook his head. "Good luck and have fun."    

'So, he also doesn't like Lea, huh?' Jennie kept her eyes fixed on her adorable son, pleased at how her husband and son kept Lea around for her sake.    

Although the original Jennie hadn't thought about it, the current one knew Lea's antics. Jung Lea took advantage of her access to the mansion, acting like she suited Jennie's role more. It wouldn't be surprising if Jevin had some sort of attachment to the woman. Fortunately, Jevin didn't seem to like her, just like how Lisa disapproved of her.     

'Now, I don't need to hesitate.' Her smile stretched broader as she relaxed, pulling down the shades from her head to cover her eyes. 'I can't wait to see her face once she sees me on the set.'    

It was true Jennie hadn't thought of getting a career that would spark the sense of passion in her heart. However, to torment Lea and get that woman off of her high horse, she had to go back to acting temporarily.     

'How nice.' Jennie closed her eyes for a moment before her smile lines faded. "By the way..."    

She turned her head to Jevin, feeling a little embarrassed for bothering him over and over. "That night when your daddy and I were on the roof deck, who was the maid who told you we were there?"    

Jevin slowly looked back at his mother, unable to see the deep curiosity in his mother's eyes because of her shades. His brows rose, thinking about the question she was asking him.
