The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 2

Chapter 217: Shocking News (3)

The corner of Lisa's lips lifted slightly, curving into an elegant smile. She gladly answered, "Father has always praised you highly. Grandfather, we should have visited you sooner."

As he listened, Kim Jiyang paused, his old face flashing with a smile. "You are Marco's son... Then, how did you two... How did you end up together?"

Kim Jiyang remembered that back then at his birthday banquet, Jennie had still been...

"He's my senior and my superior." The person who answered was Jennie as she shot Lisa a look. Then, she took a cup for him and poured him some tea. "He's very good to me, so we got married. Grandfather, you don't have to ask anything. Just wish us well."

Pausing as she looked up to Kim Jiyang, she said, "I've been doing well. I wanted to go back and visit you before the New Year. Mother mentioned it too, but after we thought about..."

When she said this, Jennie did not continue, but Kim Jiyang already understood her. He fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "Since you've put it this way, I won't say too much either. You've found a good home for yourself. Obviously, I'm happy. By the looks of it, your father doesn't know either, I suppose?"

Kim Jiyang was no stranger to the name Lisa at all. In fact, he was Marco's son. Their family background was celebrated and worthy of admiration. Besides that, he had previously heard of the Manoban family's young master being a rare talent. At today's meeting, he could see that he was outstanding indeed!

He really never would have thought that Jennie would be able to get attached to such an important person. In fact, to marry into a prominent family like the Manoban family was not easy.

Kim Jiyang could not hide the puzzlement in his eyes as he examined Jennie and Lisa for quite a while, yet he could not notice anything unusual. Instead, he could tell that Lisa seemed to be quite caring and considerate about Jennie. In fact, he looked at her with a different kind of gaze. As a man himself, Kim Jiyang naturally understood what that gaze implied.

He waited for quite a while and yet did not hear Jennie answer. Lisa then reached out and gently held her cold hand that was perched on her knee under the table, and he answered Kim Jiyang, "When Father returns, I wonder if you'd be willing to come for a meal with him. It'd be good for both sides of the family to meet. As for the rest, if it's too rushed, we might need to arrange it nearer to the wedding."

Now that he thought about it, they could only do it like that. Initially, after Kai found out, Lisa had already made plans that they would eventually need to meet Kim Jiyang and Hyunbin, but she had not said anything and he was not willing to probe at her wound, so the matter was temporarily set aside.

Kim Jiyang hesitated for a moment, then he said, "Your father might only return to City Z in another two days..."

"Mmm, I'll arrange everything. Thank you, Grandfather, for taking care of Jennie. She's always been very grateful for you." Lisa tone was genuine and his eyes were dense with sincerity and gratitude. His elegant manner naturally won him Kim Jiyang's approval.

Whether a person was cultured or not would usually be revealed through their words and actions. Kim Jiyang had rolled in the business world of mutual deception before and he could judge people well. From a simple meeting like this, he was already in admiration of Lisa.

With Jennie's personality, she was a little like her father too. In Kim Jiyang's heart, he actually favored Jennie more because she was more like Hyunbin, while the latter was a scar in his heart that he could never erase...

How was he supposed to admit that back then, when the old fellow from the Han family locked Kai and Jennie's marriage down, he had thought it was a mistake?

Jennie was too accommodating to Kai, while Kai was such a privileged brat. He was fairly arrogant and did not suit with Jennie's stubborn yet sensitive personality.

Maybe she should have matched with a better man.

Now, it seemed that everything was falling into place as he wished. That was great then since it was Kim Jiyang's wish to see the children happy within his lifetime.

Kim Jiyang squinted his aged eyes towards this couple before him. Suddenly, there was a light of happiness in his eyes. He unexpectedly recalled how back then, Hyunbin and Yu Jin seemed to have been like this too. They had sat before him, looking well-matched and hoping that he could give them his blessings.

Now, it was all just destiny making fools out of people.

Quite a while after, he sighed and said softly with a mix of happiness and melancholy, "I don't know what else I can say. I can only wish the both of you to be loving till your old age and be happy forever."

Jennie nodded gently as she said hoarsely, "Thank you..."

"Okay, let's leave it at that. We'll chat again when we meet. I know that the both of you are busy, so I won't disturb you two anymore. I'm leaving now. When your father returns, I'll give you a call."

Kim Jiyang sighed deeply, then he slowly stood up and staggered a bit. Lisa swiftly held him up. "Be careful, Grandfather!"

Kim Jiyang held onto his staff tightly and lamented, "I'm old and no good now."

Then, he gently patted Lisa's arm and said by his ear in a lowered voice, "Be good to Jennie. This child has been suffering quite a lot since she was young. Since you're married to her now, you have a responsibility to care for her well... I'll leave her in your good hands..."

"Don't worry, Grandfather, I will." Lisa steadied Kim Jiyang while his deep tone had a hint of determination.

Kim Jiyang nodded. Although he wanted Lisa to let go of him, Lisa helped him walk all the way out of the door and into his car while Jennie just sat in her seat and silently watched this scene.

Moments after that, Lisa returned casually.

When he saw her in a daze and not snapping back to her senses, Lisa then reached out and helped her fix her slightly messy hair that tumbled onto her chest as he asked softly, "What are you thinking about that you're so entranced?"

When his voice entered her ear, she slowly regained her senses. Her eyes suddenly revealed a tinge of loneliness as she said in a hoarse and gloomy voice, "Nothing. I just suddenly felt that my heart being heavy... There are some things that I clearly want to do, yet I don't know how to start. Grandfather just told me that Father has never forgotten Mother, yet now, what use is there in saying all of that?"

As he listened, Lisa's eyes hardened. Then, he held up his tea and casually sipped it. Calmly, he said, "There are some things that you'll realize aren't actually hard at all only when you do it. There are always many possible outcomes to things, so one of them will definitely be the outcome that you want. So, don't be sad. No one can tell the future for sure."

As she listened to such emotional words, Jennie suddenly felt sad.
