The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife

Chapter 8: Jennie, Don't Be Sad

As the car slowly drove past him, Kai could vaguely see Jennie, who sat in the car with her head turned the other way, looking out.

He hesitated for a moment. He hesitated whether he should chase after, yet after a momentary contemplation, the mixed emotions in his eyes quieted down. At last, everything returned to its previous calm state.

Suddenly, by his ear came the soft sound of Krystal choking on her sobs.

"Kai, I... did I do something wrong? Sister, she..."

Kai turned around and saw gloom written all over the delicate face of Krystal. Her beautiful eyes were teary, yet she still bit down hard on her lip, determined to force her tears to stay in. When he saw this face, it inevitably made his heart ache for her sake.

He did know what to say. He could only tighten his grip around her waist and pull her further into his arms.

Krystal then hugged him and leaned tightly in his embrace, her stifled cries muffled.

He looked ahead pensively at the car that had already vanished into the hazy drizzle. Then, Kai coldly retrieved his gaze, focusing on Krystal who buried herself in his embrace to cry. His apathetic face started to ease and he said softly, "Okay, don't cry now. We'll slowly explain these things to her later on. She's a very sensible person, so she'll see it and will understand."

"But, but... when I saw her like that earlier, I was really devastated. Father says she hasn't been home for a long time already. She's definitely still blaming Father and Mother because of us..."

"Let's not talk about these things first. Get into the car. Uncle and Aunty are waiting for us at Emperor."

Kai took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped away her tears. He opened the car door and coaxed, "Get into the car first."

Krystal sniffed and swallowed the lump in her throat before she tearfully got into the car.

The car sped towards the north city's Emperor Entertainment City. Along the way, Jennie did not say anything. The car was filled with an indescribable gloom. It was so stifling that Rosé felt an acrid and bitter taste in her throat.

She wanted to console her, yet she saw Jennie had already leaned back and maintained her composure of looking out the car window. Her cold lips were sealed tightly. Through the dim lights outside the car with various depths that kept reflecting her in their brightness, in that instant, if one looked over, she seemed particularly desolate and distracted.

"Jennie, don't be sad... I'm sorry, I... I know I shouldn't have acted like that, but I really couldn't control myself. Seeing them in their cheap happiness, I just couldn't hold back. I was about to explode and go crazy! How could they still live so happily without feeling ashamed at all after hurting you?"

Nayeon was furiously rambling on as both her hands held Jennie's shoulders. She looked at Jennie's fair and beautiful face before she asked anxiously and with worry, "Tell me, Jennie. Have you not let go? It's been so many years, but you haven't been willing to let go and try to accept another relationship. Is it because you haven't let go of Kai? Is it? Tell me!"

Nayeon shook Jennie by the shoulders and asked dejectedly.

Jennie became dizzy from her shaking, so she could only lift a hand to hold down her hands that held her shoulders. Her crimson though slightly pale lips parted with a voice filled with fatigue and powerlessness. "Nay, stop talking. Just let me be alone for a while, okay?"

"Is it that hard to answer this question? Jennie!" Nayeon fixed her stare on her.

Jennie was stunned. She fell silent for a moment, then she suddenly put down her hand that was on Nayeon arms. Turning over to Nayeon, she thought about it for quite a while before she finally said softly, "He and I have long become the past..."
