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

Chapter 289: Decision (2)

What!?

Jennie and Lisa were married!?

Before the New Year!?

Krystal was shocked. Her eyes momentarily went out of focus. It was as if all of her energy and emotions were sucked away. Her body fell limp and she collapsed onto the bed.

How could this be...?

How could she be married?

If Jennie really was married to Lisa, how could there not have been any news at all? With the Manoban family's background of being a well-known family, how could they have accepted a daughter-in-law like Jennie? And with a man like Lisa...

Previously, she had guessed that there was something more between Jennie and Lisa. She thought that there must have been more than just a relationship between a superior and subordinate, yet she never would have guessed that they would be husband and wife!

They were actually husband and wife!

Well, then all the disdain and trouble that Lisa had directed towards her finally seemed to make perfect sense!

Krystal started to tremble.

This is impossible!

Why is Jennie so lucky every time?

She could not accept this fact, but hearing it from Kai, it had to be real...

Still, why would there be no news at all? It was such a huge thing! The Manoban family should have some sort of indication somehow. She had never seen them propose marriage to the Kim family. How could Jennie have married Lisa?

Maybe they were still keeping it a secret from the Kim family. If Grandfather and Father found out that Jennie had done that, it only proved her disregard for the Kim family.

Krystal suddenly clenched the blanket in her hand tightly. Her stunned eyes slowly returned to normal. She shifted uncertainly for a while and her expression changed. She could not reveal how she currently felt!

This was extremely complicated!

She was terribly frustrated!

...

The silent night gradually lifted. Heralded by the pitter-patter of the rain and the rustling of the cool breeze, the gloomy curtain that covered the sky was soon blown away and a new day began.

A rainy day was indeed a good reason to dawdle in bed.

Yet, Jennie did not find that sleep came easily.

She slept until the middle of the night when she felt incredibly miserable. Her throat was itching and she kept coughing. Clearly, her cold had become worse! Initially, she had been infected by Mr. Manoban. In addition to that, she got caught in the rain yesterday, so how could it not get worse?

Lisa got up in the middle of the night to get her some medicine. She then finally eased a little. Overall, both husband and wife did not have a good night's sleep.

Jennie had a bad habit. When she was not sleeping comfortably, she would habitually roll around, kick the blanket away, pull it away, then cover herself again. She would be very irritable, disturbing Lisa in the process too.

He could only increase the temperature in the room and was tormented until it was close to dawn. When he finally saw her fall asleep, he did not feel sleepy anymore, so he got up.

When Jennie woke up it was already close to noon. She felt her head spinning and when she opened her eyes in a daze, a soft voice filled with concern entered her ears.

"You're awake? How are you feeling?"

Before she could say anything, a slightly warm hand touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever..."

Jennie subconsciously lifted a hand to check her forehead too. She coughed quite a few times, and then sat up all sickly. When she turned to look at her caregiver, Lisa's extraordinarily handsome face greeted her sight.

"It feels pretty horrible..."

Meeting his concerned and warm gaze, she could not help but lift a hand to tap her dizzy head. Her voice was particularly raspy and dry and her beautiful face was faintly scarlet too.

Lisa pulled her blanket away and said in a deep voice, "Get up and wash up, then eat your medicine. It's no harm catching a cold once or twice in a year. Later, remember to train your body more. Yesterday, I've told Ryujin to bring a motorcycle over. From now on, every Friday night, I'll ride one round around the villa with you."

Jennie then remembered in a stupor that he had mentioned that in University A, but he was really putting it into action now!

"Where am I going to find the patience? It'll already be so late after work, and the villa area is so huge..."

She thought about it and sighed as she whined with a raspy voice. Her body felt like mush all over and she could not get her energy levels up.

"I'm allowing you to leave work one hour earlier every Friday," he casually said, then handed her clothes. "That's enough. Quickly go wash up. Take your medicine, then come down to eat."

Jennie could not help but scratch her messy hair and frown. "Then, quickly prepare the water for me. Just put the clothes on the rack... Why are you looking at me? Shoo, go..."

Lisa raised his brows at her meaningfuly, then he took the clothes and walked to the bathroom without a word.

Half an hour later, she finally stepped out.

"Is it okay? Like this?"

She stood in front of the dressing mirror and studied her reflection as she asked the man who was talking on the phone by the bedside.

Lisa hung up as he looked up and then nodded in satisfaction. "Anything looks good on a stunning figure like yours."

When she heard this, her beautiful face immediately flashed with a happy smile as she replied, "Of course! Even Naeyon who has the reputation of a devillish figure says that I'm a natural clothes hanger..."

"Better not jinx it... I pray that in another few years, you can still maintain this." Lisa chuckled, then got up and walked over too.

"Why can't I maintain this? Even if I've had children, I can maintain it. Look at our mothers. They are both over 50 years old, yet they still look very young and beautiful. When I shop with my mother, people think that she's my sister. It's either saying that I'm aging or that Mother's young..."

"Young and beautiful? Maintanenance... Well, Mother goes to the spa almost every week. Have you been going? Last year, on a sudden impulse, she asked someone to buy some skincare products that are still sitting in the car. Last week when I said I'd go with you, you didn't respond. You're just lazy!"

"Don't you like me now?" She frowned and suddenly turned to look at him with an upset gaze.

When she said this, Lisa could not help but press his hand to his forehead and sigh softly, "Pretend I didn't say anything. You're naturally beautiful and you don't need those things... Missus, I'm sincerely encouraging you to enjoy your rights and privileges as a woman. I've never seen a woman more foolish than you."

...

Because of Lisa's words, there was a knot in Jennie's heart. After lunch, she could not hep but call her best friend, Naeyon, and say to her, "Nannan, Lisa keeps telling me to go to the spa or something. Do you think he feels I look worn out or am showing signs of aging?"

After Naeyon heard her description and confusion from the other end, she giggled and answered after a long while, "Jennie, I'm so done with you! So, you've actually started to care about your looks? Don't worry. As long as you act coquettishly with Master Manoban, you'll be the world's most beautiful goddess to him. You've always been a goddess to me, so how could you be that bad? In fact, Master Manoban's personally going with you... Pfft, that dude Jeongyeon's too lazy to even go with me!"
