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

Chapter 536: Upgrade To Parents-To-Be (4)

At the Manoban Residence at night.

After a simple dinner and some tea, the whole family took a break together. Hae Sook was sitting by the table and going through her old letters, mostly consisting of some trivial matters and photos. She would take a look at them whenever she was bored to reminisce the past. With her getting older, she could only think about what she had done when she was younger, and what was memorable to her.

Do Kyung was sitting on a rattan chair nearby, reading a book with the help of his glasses.

"Hey, I really think that I'm getting old now. I feel so sentimental every time I look at these pictures. It feels like we just joined the army yesterday. How did we get old in the blink of an eye?" Hae Sook touched the old photos as she said.

Do Kyung averted his gaze from his book and looked at his wife. "Well, that's just how it goes. Do you still think that you're twenty over years old? Even Marco is past 50 now!"

"My body is still holding up fine. Hopefully, I can live long enough to see Jennie and Lisa's child grow up. They've been married for half a year. Why is there no news at all? Do you think they don't care about this at all? Lisa is going to be 32 soon, and I'm pretty worried about them. Jennie should be around 27 or 28, isn't she?" mentioned Hae Sook anxiously.

"Leave the youngsters alone and let things flow naturally. Moreover, they're busy now. Yong Gun is getting old and retiring soon. He's got it much rougher than us. Yong Gun's been alone for a long time. Hasn't he thought of finding another partner? Liang Fuhua passed away so many years ago." Do Kyung sighed.

Hae Sook glared at Do Kyung the moment he finished his sentence. "What do you know? Yong Gun is just an army recruit who had nothing. Just who do you think Liang Fuhua is? It's his blessing that she got together with him!"

"Hmph, didn't Yong Gun treat her really well afterward? Sure, Yong Gun was like a thug. I wonder how he ended up with Liang Fuhua. Her admirers could fill up a soccer field. I don't understand what she saw in Yong Gun. And then there's you, I doubt there's anyone as good-looking and talented as I am among your admirers. Why did you even dislike me at first?"

"Liang Fuhua has excellent taste. If I really have to point it out, you're definitely not better than Yong Gun."

"How is he better than me? I'm born prestigious and a gentleman. How is he better?"

"Just by the fact that he loves his wife faithfully, that's so much better than you! For his company, Fu Hua Property, he used Liang Fuhua's name. What about you? Before you knew me, you were just another playboy. Do you think you're better because you have more money?"

Do Kyung realized he had made a mistake. He should not have mentioned this. Women were especially scary when talking about the past. He had experienced this many times before!

When he first got married to Hae Sook, she could easily pin him down and he could not do anything. After that, people knew Do Kyung had gotten himself a fierce wife and had become a typical wife slave.

"I'm not going to talk to you about it again!"

If he continued they would probably start an argument again. After all, they had been going at it for several decades!

As Hae Sook was about to say something, the telephone started ringing. Do Kyung went to pick it up.

It was a call from Haruto!

"Elder President, I'm Haruto!" Haruto's voice came through.

"Oh, Haruto? It's been a while since you called me. What's the matter?"

Haruto had worked for Do Kyung before. More specifically, Do Kyung trained Haruto to be Lisa's assistant. As a smart and capable young man, Do Kyung thought highly of him.

"Are you doing well?"

"Great!"

Haruto had just gotten off work before he quickly gave Do Kyung a call. "Elder President, I'm calling you today to congratulate you. Has Master told you yet?"

"Tell me what?"

Do Kyung found it odd. He had just called them this afternoon to ask about Jennie, so Haruto's congratulatory message was weird.

"What? Elder President, Missus is pregnant. Didn't Master tell you?"

"P-pregnant? Do you mean I'm going to have a great-grandchild soon?

...

This was massive news, especially to Hae Sook who was sitting by the table! She was already listening in when Do Kyung spoke on the phone. When she heard the news, she dropped whatever she had in her hands and rushed over, confirming it with Haruto again!

That night, everyone in the Manoban Residence worked hard until midnight.

The next morning, at the Maple Residence.

Lisa woke up early on a weekend. As he was about to make breakfast, he found Marco sitting on the sofa when he went downstairs. Hae Sook and Chitiip were giving instructions to Sis Wang and the others, swapping out the potted plants. Lisa had no idea what they were called, but the new plants were all fresh and green, making the environment smell great.

A lot of stuff was being hauled into the storeroom.

Chitiip was making breakfast as Hae Sook just stood beside the door. Do Kyung should be in the back yard since he was always concerned about the flowers whenever he came over.

"Put these into the wardrobe separately. I'm sure it'll be of use in two months' time, and this... rearrange it over there."

This family acted quickly on the information. Lisa knew that they had already found out about Jennie's pregnancy by the looks of it.

"Master, please let us through!" A servant who was holding some anti-slip floor mats was going up the staircase.

Lisa moved away slightly and went downstairs.

When the servant's voice was heard, Marco looked over at the staircase.
