The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 4

Chapter 601: Reluctance (2)

On the 27th floor of the Galaxy Tower, up on the rooftop.

It was a breezy day. Even though the sun was still up, it was still chilly up there. The cold wind made the shirt hems flutter and the whooshing sound by one's ears only made the place seem even quieter.

Jisoo liked tall places like this since he could feel closer to the sky and freedom. Everything at the bottom looked so small. Then, he could feel that he was not as tiny as he thought. At least, right there, he could still gaze upon the whole city and even the world.

Some time ago, Jimin asked him if he was feeling lonely. Actually, he did not really feel lonely because he did not want to use loneliness as an excuse to self-indulge. Overall, he just felt tired.

A contented person would never feel lonely. Even if there was such instance, it would just be a little spice in life.

Jisoo had always hoped he could become someone like that.

He was always wondering if there would ever be such a person who felt the same way as him. He did meet an amazing girl who was beautiful and elegant many years ago. She was very understanding and recognized everything that he felt. However, she did not belong to him.

Many years later, he got the same feeling from another girl. It made him realize that the happiness or sadness felt in the past should not be lingered on, and was only temporary.

He thought about people struggling on the verge of death or poverty. At the very least, he knew that he was far luckier than them.

He suddenly realized that he was not struggling as much as he thought anymore. Even though he could not ask for much, he could at least protect what he had right now. Hence, he made a phone call to Lisa.

A smile appeared on Jisoo's face. He took a pack of cigarettes out and lit three of them before putting them onto the railing. Then, he lit one up for himself before handing the pack over to Lisa.

Lisa glanced at him. His sunglasses were hiding his eyes. While he did not take the pack of cigarettes from him, he looked at the three cigarettes on the railing instead. His expression was shaken up slightly. The wind blew, making everything seemed unreal.

He knew very well who it was for.

Between them, there was only one person worth remembering.

"Suho didn't like to smoke," Lisa spoke up suddenly after a long silence.

"He was very much addicted to smoking by the year he passed away."

Jisoo casually put the pack of cigarettes back into his pocket. Then, he released a puff of smoke and watched it fade quietly away in the air. "To be honest, although you call yourself his brother, you don't really know him that well. I know you two aren't on the best of terms. I thought you'd be unaffected by his death because you do look like a cold-blooded person from our perspective." His tone was not very friendly.

Lisa faced his accusation with ease, his expression still appearing calm as usual. "I've always thought of him as a brother. He's my legal younger brother."

Jisoo turned towards him and asked with a tint of sarcasm in his tone, "Do you mean that he didn't see you a brother?"

"I don't want to talk about Suho's past with me. He's already dead, and I don't have anything to say if you want to blame all of it onto me. What's done is done. I've never regretted what I've done. If I could turn back time and make a choice again, I would do the exact same thing." Lisa took off his sunglasses and revealed his eyes.

"Do you have no feelings for Shasha at all? If not, why did you agree to marry her? I don't believe nothing happened during the period of time when you stayed with the Cho family. Otherwise, it didn't make sense for Sehun to rush and run away with Shasha. You're the one who agreed to marry her." Jisoo voiced out his doubts and hoped Lisa could provide him an answer.

"Didn't you ask me the same thing before? I cannot answer you, but I can tell you one thing. Aside from my woman at home right now, all the others look the same to me. I'm not a Casanova like you."

"Jennie doesn't seem any better than Shasha. I don't have faith in your taste," Jisoo ridiculed.

"Do you think I'm Sehun or you? I need an amazing woman to be my partner. I think Miyeon can't even compare to her fingertip." He suddenly became very protective of her as he could not stand people criticizing her.

Jisoo's expression changed when Jennie's face suddenly appeared in his mind. He instantly noticed his words were a bit harsh. "I don't mean that Jennie is bad. They are different kinds of women after all, so they can't be compared."

"According to my sources, she has returned. If you can't move past that, then you can go and meet her. As a partner, I should remind you that Miyeon can be as dangerous as any other man, so you'd better be careful." Lisa seemed impatient when Miyeon was mentioned.

"I can sense your sincerity, and I'm recognizing you as a partner. I know you guys have been investigating on Mr. Wen, and you suspect Kim Joon to be Mr. Wen. I asked my mother and found out that Kim Joon did call himself Mr. Wen in secret before because my grandfather forbade him from fooling around as the First Master of the Kim family. Sis Lan, who's on the verge of death in Hospital T, was one of his lovers. Unfortunately, she was just a replacement because she resembled Sehun's mother."

Jisoo smirked. "The woman Kim Joon loved the most was Sehun's mother, but sadly, she died. Kim Joon got together with many other women afterward although they were all her replacements. They all resembled that woman one way or another."
