"Okay! Okay! Quickly help me dry my hair. You wanted me to tell the truth. Then, when I do you get angry, but if I don't, then you'd say I'm not being serious. I don't understand you women!" Marco sighed a little helplessly.
Chitiip shot her husband a side look, and Lisa's handsome face flashed in her mind.
They all said that her son was like her. Actually, she thought that was not completely right. Apart from inheriting her and Marco's looks, their son's ability to handle matters, his low profile, and his gentle personality came more from him.
Back when Chitiip chose Marco, she had married him because she fancied him. They had also gone through the traditional process of a blind date, getting to know each other, marriage, and then falling in love with each other. Basically, it was the more traditional marriage of the older generation.
However, she actually thought that there was nothing too bad about that. To her, the most important aspect of marriage was understanding and tolerance, communication, and mutual respect. This was also the reason why she and Marco could still be loving after more than 30 years into the marriage.
To Chitiip, perhaps true happiness was finding the sweet spots on the ordinary days like these.
"They all say women are like a thick book. If you can understand it thoroughly, then life might've already passed you by. Look at Father and Mother. They bicker all day every day. Mother always says that Father doesn't understand her, but aren't they still quite happy together?"
"You don't quite understand me either!"
When Marco saw that Chitiip was ignoring her, he snatched the towel back and simply dried his hair for a bit before tossing the towel onto a chair. As he leaned towards Chitiip, he reached out to undo Chitiip's button. She shot him a look as she covered her collar protectively. "What are you doing?"
Marco cleared his throat as he pulled her hand away. His handsome face blushed as the light in his dark eyes shifted and his deep and magnetic voice was heard. "Take it off. Take it off! It's been more than a week. Don't you want to?"
"You..."
Before Chitiip could say anything, Marco had already pushed her down and stopped her words that were about to come after that.
The older he got, the more shameless he was. Whenever he wanted it, he would be like this. He did not care whether she was willing or not. Chitiip could not help but whine in her heart.
Compared to the harmonious warmth at the Manoban residence, Maple Residence was much quieter in contrast.
Inside the study room on the second floor, after Jennie and Lisa talked on the phone for a while, she hung up. She was currently was busy with work as usual. She sat unmoving until she felt her back become sore. Subconsciously, she reached behind to massage her back when her fingers accidentally brushed past her baby bump and she suddenly clearly felt something kicking!
Jennie was stunned. She looked down subconsciously at her belly. A light flashed in her mind as she quickly put her hand over her belly. Indeed, the little one was causing a ruckus inside her womb. Jennie's eyes lit up and she could not help but call out through the door, "Sis Wang! Sis Wang!"
Sis Wang was about to send some supper upstairs when she heard Jennie calling out to her. She thought that something had happened, so she immediately set the tray aside and rushed in. She answered anxiously, "Missus! What's wrong? What's wrong?"
When Sis Wang rushed in, she saw that Jennie was still sitting steadily in her chair. Her beautiful face was covered in a smile of disbelief, so she then sighed in relief.
"Sis Wang, the baby... It moved! Look..." Jennie carefully pointed at her belly as if she were afraid of disturbing the little thing inside.
When Sis Wang heard her exclaim, she looked delighted too. She quickly walked over and carefully leaned down to look. Indeed, the little thing in her womb was kicking up a fuss!
"Missus, this child is causing such a ruckus. It must be a mischievous little boy. It must be a little master!"
Jennie's lips curled up slightly while her twinkling eyes were dense with gentleness. "We don't know yet. Could it be a really mischievous daughter?"
If she had a really cute daughter like Naeyon, he would like that. That would be great too.
"I think it looks more like a little master who will torment you. Girls aren't that mischievous, are they? My daughter behaves very well. When I had my daughter, I almost didn't suffer much. I didn't suffer as much as you, Missus."
Sis Wang smiled and gazed warmly at Jennie's belly again. "Missus, have some supper first. You didn't eat much for dinner. I'm worried that the baby in your womb will be hungry."
Jennie then nodded and closed the document. Then, she stood up with the table for support.
Sis Wang knew that Jennie liked her food light, so she prepared millet and some delicious snacks.
When Jennie finished half the bowl of millet, Sis Wang then remembered what happened earlier. She quickly took a red invitation letter out from her pocket and handed it to Jennie. "Right, Missus, earlier at the door, someone named Jimin sent this invitation over to you. He says it's an invitation from Master Kim. Do you want to take a look?"
Jennie silently looked up from the bowl and quietly looked at the red invitation from Sis Wang. Moments after that, she set the bowl aside and took it to flip it open. It was Jisoo's flowing handwriting.
Jennie still thought that Jisoo's request was rather odd. The other day, she even mentioned it to Lisa who did not say much. He just told her to cooperate and go with Ryujin.
She could vaguely feel that Jisoo and Lisa had a subtle relationship. Curiously, she wondered whether they had come to some sort of agreement, so...
She knew a little about Kim Group's matters too.
Especially in recent times, Kim Joon and Wang Qin were going at each other's necks intensely. It seemed like they were fighting for the collaboration with Fuhua and the South River project.
Kim Joon's attitude towards Jisoo was clear as day. Even Jennie could not bear to look at them, especially with Kim Joon's recent actions.
Previously, when they collaborated with Kim Group on the South River project, Jisoo was the person-in-charge, but the people that were recently sent to manage matters had become Kim Joon's people. That meant that Kim Joon had just sent people over. On another level, this was Jisoo preparing to get everything on track, so that he was not needed anymore.
That also meant that Jisoo's authority was unfounded.
When it came to this, Jennie did pity Jisoo. She slowly closed the invitation and nodded. "I got it. Tidy up and rest early."
