The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 3

Chapter 402: Passed Away (1)

Lisa was already back home when she arrived. He frowned and gave her an earful before preparing the bath water for her.

After they switched the lights off, the two of them lay down on the bed. Lisa was suddenly reminded about something and he looked at Jennie. After some hesitation, he said, "Jennie, I have something to tell you."

"Mmm? What's up?" Jennie opened her eyes that were bright like glittering stars.

"I just heard that Father has resigned," Lisa said.

Resigned!

"You mean he quit his position as Mayor?"

Jennie quickly sat up in shock and opened her eyes wide as she stared at him blankly.

Lisa nodded. "This is the second time. Father told me that he was rejected the first time, but this time..."

"Why did he do that?" Jennie was at a loss. While she did not understand what was going on with Hyunbin much, she knew that citizens had positive reactions towards him being the Mayor, and rumors said he would be promoted very soon. It was his prime time right now, so why would he quit?

"Why? You know the answer yourself," Lisa sighed, covering himself with the blanket and went to sleep. Jennie was still looking at him blankly. After some time, she mumbled, "You mean he did this for Mother?"

"He must've been struggling all these years. What would you have done if you were in his shoes?"

Jennie closed her eyes and gave it a long thought. In the end, she shook her head. "I don't know..."

"I think he wanted to escape, or maybe he just wants a fresh start. However, it seems pretty difficult on Mother's end."

He used one arm as a pillow for his head while his other hand played with her long hair.

"A fresh start? Father and Chaerin are still married. Moreover, there's Krystal between them. How can he get a fresh start now?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Father will be able to divorce Chaerin these few days. He quit his career. Apart from for Mother's sake, it's also to avoid being threatened again. From what I know, they should have some kind of secret against Father. There's no way else he would've endured it through all these years. He's not the kind of person who lusts for power," Lisa analyzed, his eyes turning cold.

"These few days? You guys found evidence of Chaerin cheating and gave it to Father?" Jennie's eyes brightened up as she realized what must have happened!

A wry smile appeared on the man's face. "Can't you let me say it to satisfy my manly pride?"

Jennie rolled her eyes at him. She did not reply and asked instead, "What secret do they have against Father? If that's the case, can Father still divorce Chaerin successfully?"

"That depends on him, but I have faith in him."

"How do you know he can? Even I have no faith in him... Of course, it'd be best if he can divorce Chaerin. I just asked Mother in the hospital if she still loves him. She closed her eyes and didn't give me a reply, but I saw the tears in the corner of her eyes... So, I think she still misses Father, even when he..."

She lowered her head and went silent. Suddenly, she turned around and looked at him while looking a little lost. "We aren't going to end up like them, right?"

He was helpless against her words. He quickly grabbed her over as his sensual voice reached her ears. "Stop overthinking!"

"If you happen to do that, I'll never forgive you!"

"Missus, Mr. Manoban only belongs to you."

"That's more like it!"

In the next two days, they were busy preparing before the holidays. Work had piled up in the office. Fortunately, Vice President Zhang Lan was handling the South River project now. She would not have been able to handle it at the moment.

Lisa transferred two projects under her to other managers, so she was mainly taking care of the handover. They would need to start preparing for their wedding soon, but they could not just leave their work, hence the handover work must be done now.

Working hours had ended, and most employees had left, so the whole place was quiet.

Inside Jennie's office, Jennie took the documents from Suzy. "You can go back now. Happy holidays!"

"Alright, happy holidays too, Director Kim! Please head back earlier!" Suzy left with a smile. When she was at the door, she almost bumped into Lisa!

"Good evening, Chairman Manoban!"

Lisa nodded slightly before walking past.

"Didn't you go for inspection in Car City? You're back so soon!" Jennie kept the documents inside her briefcase before she looked at him and asked.

"Ryujin drove the car back. I have a document to get, so I just came over here to take a look, knowing you'd still be here."

Lisa handed a document to her, which she slipped into her briefcase as well. "Good timing. Let's visit Mother at the hospital. The doctor just called me and said they gave her a full body checkup today. She can be discharged in two days."

"Mmm, let's go."

Lisa grabbed her briefcase and put his arm over her shoulders when they walked out.

As they arrived at the hospital, the sky turned dark. The private nurse, Sis Fu, was there. Yu-Jin just had dinner and Sis Fu updated them that Hyunbin had not been here for the past two days. He seemed to be busy with something.

Inside the room, Jennie just helped Yu-Jin wash up when Haruto came knocking on the door. He looked at Lisa with a grim expression. "Master!"

Lisa helped Yu-Jin lie down before turning over to look at Haruto. He frowned when he noticed something not right with Haruto's expression, so he told Jennie, "Stay here with Mother for a while. I'll go take a look outside."

Jennie nodded. "Okay."

Lisa vanished from the room. Only Jennie and Yu-Jin were left, and it was quiet in there.

Jennie covered Yu-Jin with a blanket as she said softly, "Mother, the doctor said your condition is now stable and you can be discharged the day after tomorrow. I've discussed with Lisa and we decided to have you stay over at Maple Residence. It's easier for us to take care of you."
