It was already late at night when they arrived back at Maple Residence. It was hazy outside with cold weather and it actually hurt a little when the icy cold breeze assaulted their faces.

Jennie closed the half-opened window before she checked through the fridge and storeroom to see what they needed. After that, she called Sis Wang to get them to go over earlier to clean up and only went upstairs after finishing all of that.

The man was playing Starcraft after he showered. She could hear the theme music of the game from far away. Upon seeing the focused look on his face, she decided to leave him alone and went into the bathroom for a bath instead.

As usual, he had prepared the water for her after he finished.

When Lisa went back into the bedroom, she was done bathing and was flipping through some blueprint-like documents on the bed. He switched off the lights and the bedroom went dim. Her focus broken, Jennie suddenly lifted her head.

He went beside her and grabbed the blueprints from her to study them with the dim wall light. They were documents of the South River project. He sighed before leaving them on the chair aside. "You must be really motivated to read these in the middle of the night."

He slipped beneath the blanket. Before Jennie could react, his long arms wrapped around her and his hoarse voice reached her. "Since you're so motivated, why don't we have some fun ourselves?"

Jennie was stunned for a moment. His pleasant fragrance made her lose herself again. Suddenly, her restraints were removed as he pressed down onto her. His cold kiss accurately landed on her collarbone...

She took a deep breath and wanted to say something before, but she now forgot all about it. She noticed that she had become less and less resistant to him. Unable to help herself, she was getting more and more used to him sleeping beside her.

Sometimes, when she woke up during the night, without even looking, she would unconsciously reach out to the side until she touched his body, and her tightened chest would relax after she knew that he was still beside her. Then, she would continue sleeping as she held his hand.

Jennie did not realize that Lisa was like a drug to her. As days went by, she was slowly getting more and more addicted to him, and it would be too late to stop when she recognized it.

After a while, she relaxed and took off his clothes with her slender arms. She then asked quietly beside his ears, "Have you called Mother?"

"I'll call her tomorrow. Focus now, Missus!" He said with an uneven tone, then...

...

They only stopped around midnight and she slept away soon afterward. It was near noon when she woke up the next day. Things were pretty happening downstairs when she came down after washing up. Do Kyung, Hae Sook, Marcog, and Chittip were all present. However, what surprised Jennie was that even Yong Gun was there. To her disappointment, Yu Jin was nowhere to be seen.

Yong Gun was talking to Lisa on the veranda and he nodded from time to time, appearing to be in agreement with what Lisa was saying.

Sis Wang and the others were working in the kitchen while Hae Sook and Chittip were looking at a piece of traditional watercolor art together. It seemed like Hae Sook had painted it herself.

"Jennie, I heard from Chen that you're handling the South River project. Is that true?" Marcog asked Jennie as she sat down on the sofa.

Jennie nodded. "Yes, Father."

"The documents from the government should be ready sometime in the middle of next month. You have to make good use of your time now, especially since there's pretty fierce competition this time." Marco beamed.

"I got it, Father." She already knew that Kim Group was very capable, and they would probably be their top competitor this time.

Marco wanted to say something again, but as his eyes glanced over to Do Kyung beside him, he stopped and just nodded.

After a while, Jennie went outside when she heard the sound of a car engine. Lisa, who was chatting with Yong Gun, followed Jennie outside as well.

"Mother?" Jennie was surprised to see Yu Jin. She did not expect Lisa to actually able to convince her to come.

She then looked at the man beside her in surprise. "How did you convince Mother? I've mentioned it to Mother before, but she didn't answer me. I thought..."

"I have my ways." Lisa did not answer her directly and just gave her a mysterious smile instead. He then walked in front and greeted Yu Jin, "Mother."

Yu Jin nodded with a smile. "I'm not late, am I?"

"It's alright. My parents are here, and Father-in-law should be here soon," Lisa replied humbly.

Yu Jin's eyes darkened slightly. She then drew a deep breath. "Mmm, let's go in for now."

Jennie did not say anything at all as her eyes were focused on observing Yu Jin's beautiful face. She did not miss the brief moment of sorrow on her face.

"Jennie, you go in with Mother first. I need to call Ryujin. Pass me the phone." Lisa turned around and looked at Jennie.

She was startled for a moment before nodding and handing him the phone before going towards Yu Jin.

"Is the school going to start the new semester soon?" Jennie found a topic to talk to her mother about.

"Mmm, I just came over from the school. We are planning to hire several more lecturers this year, so I shouldn't be as busy as I was last year. I can be more focused on supervising my thesis students," Yu Jin replied.

...

The mother-daughter pair then went into the house.

As Lisa was about to call Ryujin, another car arrived and he raised his head to take a look.

It was Ryujin and the others!

Jennie and Yu Jin halted in their steps and looked back when they heard the cars arriving.

The car slowed down and stopped near Lisa. There was another black car right behind it and Jennie recognized the person driving as Hyunbin's secretary, Ah Hui!

Hyunbin and Kim Jiyang are here!

Jennie had this thought in her mind.
