Hyunbin was startled when Ye Jin questioned him. Instantly, he put up an apologetic expression on his handsome face, but he did not defend himself. After all, he was at fault in this matter...
"I understand that it's a difficult situation for you, but you should know your daughter well. I don't care how you and Chaerin betrayed me back then. I also don't care how Krystal imitated her mother and attacked Jennie, but I just hope that you can protect this peace Jennie has found after marrying Chen. This is something you can do, isn't it?"
Ye Jin looked at Hyunbin straight in the eye, "Jennie has always been concerned about us. I have to say that I'm not a responsible mother to her..."
"Ye Jin, I'm sorry... I've always felt guilty towards you all these years. Every time I see Jennie, I'd... I went to look for you at the school before... I wanted to talk to you. If... If..."
"What for? Can't you give me some peace alone? You know very well that Chaerin came and looked for me the last time. Moreover, things are over between us. Please don't be like this," Ye Jin sighed.
"Ye Jin, we're not young anymore. I wish to live for myself," Hyunbin said quietly.
"Please stop saying that. I'm tired. I don't want to argue with you on this anymore. Since you said so, then please go back to your wife and live happily ever after with her. I'm not interested in interfering at all. I'm fine. You don't have to worry. Things are great for me now. Didn't we live peacefully all this time? Why do you have to break the peace now?" Ye Jin raised her head and looked at Hyunbin.
"I can't let you go, Ye Jin..."
Ye Jin's expression changed and she had a mocking smile on her face when she heard Hyunbin's words. "So? Who do you think I am? Don't forget that you have your own family now. Don't make me look down on you!"
"I've never touched her except that night! Ye Jin, you knew that I thought she was you, so..." Hyunbin looked guilty and his eyes were cold. "Who knew she would go overseas in secret, and even give birth to Krystal?"
Ye Jin laughed coldly at him. Having lost interest, she was about to head back into the house. "There's no meaning to your words now. No matter how good your reasons are, you can't erase the fact that you've betrayed me, Hyunbin. I hope that you can be responsible and bear your faults. At least, that can still impress me."
"Ye Jin!" Hyunbin coughed lightly as he grabbed Ye Jin's hand, but she swiftly avoided him.
Hyunbin closed his eyes in agony after he saw Ye Jin step back into the house. He took a deep breath as the pain seeped deep into his heart. Depression shrouded him.
There were some mistakes that could never be corrected. No matter how hard he tried, there was nothing he could do.
After some time, Ye Jin went back to school and the Marco couple had something to work on as well. Yong Gun and Do Kyung were going to play golf. Kim Jiyang invited Lisa to visit West Park some time, but Jennie rejected. She really did not want to see people that would make her upset.
Lisa just let her be.
After they went back into the living room after sending them off, Jennie sat down tiredly as she accepted the cup of tea he handed her.
"I don't know what Mother told Father, but from the way he looks, he seemed pretty sad..."
"Father should still have feelings for Mother. His eyes say it all," he replied indifferently.
She gave it some thought before nodding. She then sighed, "There seems to be an uncrossable realm between them. There's nothing I can do to help."
She placed the cup down and then looked at the man beside her. She stared at him for some time before asking, "Will you make the same mistake in the future?"
He looked up from the newspaper and glanced at her. After a brief moment, he replied, "Do you think there's anyone else that can satisfy me besides you?"
"Can't you be more serious? I'm not joking around here!" Jennie grabbed a pillow nearby and threw it at him as her face blushed.
He blocked the pillow she threw with one hand, and then replied to her with a serious expression, "Do I not look serious to you right now?"
Jennie glared at him before cleaning up the table. All of them were items Hae Sook had brought over from the Manoban Residence. She moved the bags a little and she saw their contents.
Velvet antler?
Velvet antler wine?
Those words reminded her of the aphrodisiac qualities of the contents!
However, did he really need it?
Jennie was stunned for a moment. She glanced at him and saw that he had already gone back to reading his papers. She then packed the stuff up swiftly, but her sudden movements actually alerted him.
He raised his head and saw her flushed face. "What's wrong? Are you sick?" He put down the newspaper and wanted to help.
"Nope, it's alright. I'll do it. You sit down!" She moved around and continued to work on packing.
He had better not touch these things. She remembered that Hae Sook made her ate some supplements and she had felt odd after that.
Lisa looked at her in doubt. He suddenly grabbed the bag she packed and she quickly seized his hand. "These are mine..."
"Let me see what's inside!"
"No!"
"Just a look!"
"No, don't move!"
She hugged the bag in front of her, and at that moment, someone's phone rang. Lisa gripped her arm with one hand and took out the phone with another to answer the call.
"Jennie, it's me..."
A deep voice reached his ear, sounding a little familiar. Lisa took a small pause as frigidity surfaced on his face.
Jennie soon noticed that something was not right. She tilted her head over and looked at the phone screen curiously.
"What's wrong?"
