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

Chapter 736: Meeting Again After Six Years (1)

Jennie wanted to reject their offer because she did not feel quite hungry, yet she did not have the heart to reject their kind gesture.

Marco was rushing over for a dinner party, and he felt that the restaurant's pastries were not bad. In fact, his own wife was taking care of their daughter-in-law at the hospital too, so he brought some pastries over.

"Thank you, Father, Mother."

Marco, who stood behind Chittip by the bedside, nodded and smiled. "It's fine. Your mother fancies these little pastries. They're only slightly sweet and not too greasy, so they should suit your taste too. If you want anything, just let your mother-in-law or grandmother make it for you."

"Mother and Grandmother have been stewing lavish meals for me every day. There's been a different flavor a day. I can't say for sure, but Grandmother and Mother's skills are wonderful. Don't worry. I'm recovering very well, but I'm just worried that when this confinement's over, my figure..."

As Jennie responded, she sat up with disheveled hair. Chittip considerately fixed her hat and coat. "Be careful. You have to eat more with this physique of yours. Don't get sick during your confinement. Otherwise, when you get older, you'll be the one suffering. I remember when I gave birth to Lis, I became much fatter, and I even put on 10 kilograms from before I was pregnant."

When Chittip finished, Marco answered for her from behind, "15 kilograms."

As Marco said this, he was immediately met with a dangerous glare from Chittip. He then turned around and cleared his throat. "Okay, it's getting quite late now. You can rest when you're done eating. Tonight, your mother will be accompanying you, so I'll be going back first."

Marco hinted at Chittip with his gaze, his intentions clear. He wanted her to send her off.

Chittip ignored him and handed the porridge to Jennie.

Jennie took the bowl and smiled through pursed lips. "Mother, how about you go back with Father first? I'm fine here. I can already get down from the bed and move around anyway. There are bodyguards outside and personal nurses. Don't worry. It's the eighth day of the New Year tomorrow, and you two have to go to work. Really, don't worry about me."

"Well, Jennie, I just have some things to discuss with your mother. Later on, she'll still look after you. Don't worry," Marco said, and held Chittip by the arm as he walked out of the door.

When Jennie saw this, she could only shake her head. Then, she silently lowered her head to have the porridge.

After she had half a small bowl, she did not continue. She drank a few gulps of warm water, and the phone that was set aside on the table vibrated. She quickly picked up to hear that it was the man.

"Hello? Mr. Manoban."

"Mmm, haven't slept yet?" His deep and sensitive voice immediately came from the other end.

"Not yet. Earlier, the baby was hungry. Then, Father brought some pastries over. They're quite good. How's your thing coming along?" She propped herself up and pulled up the blanket as she asked.

"Mmm, not bad, but I don't think I'll be able to go home tonight. There are still some things to handle, so I plan to stay here for a bit more. Are you okay on your own?"

"I'm fine. I'm an adult, and I can take care of myself. Besides, Mother and the rest have been watching me. Mr. Manoban, why do I find that you're getting more and more long-winded like you're reaching andropause or something?" Jennie was finding his cautious tone a little unusual.

"I'm just worried that you won't feel comfortable with them. What a heartless woman!"

"If you let Father and Mother hear this, they probably won't be happy. How uncomfortable could we be as a family? I think it's quite okay. Grandmother and Mother have been taking care of me well these few days. It's just that I've been trapped inside this ward for many days, so I'm feeling a little miserable." Jennie sighed and held her head, feeling a little distressed.

"Be patient. You can go home in another two days. Now, do you know that it's tough?" His chuckle was heard, sounding warm in her ears.

"I don't find it tough. Mr. Manoban, we have a son now. Let's have a daughter too." As Jennie said this, her eyes brimmed with a hopeful light. She must satisfy his wish of having a daughter.

While looking at the scenery by the balcony, Lisa suddenly laughed. He gazed down at the alternating flickers from the streetlights and cars, and a faint tenderness surfaced on his handsome face. "We'll talk about this later on. Our son's still young now. What are you rushing for?"

"Of course, I'm rushing. I'm already 28. When he's two years old, I'll be 30. After that, I'll really be at an advanced maternal age. I want you to promise me first."

"Okay, you don't have to keep bugging me about this question. With Xiao Ru, we have two sons now. We'll wait till you can get used to it. Do you really think raising children is easy?"

With her health, Doctor Huang had said that it would not be easy for her to get pregnant again, so he could only console her.

"Even if it isn't simple, I can handle it. I trust in my abilities!"

Jennie made a solemn vow. She would only know later on how tough it would be to persist. No, Lisa would be the one suffering. She had already become the queen of the household, so how could he bear to let her suffer?

They had just hung up when Seulgi called out in the house. Lisa smiled and put away his phone before his expression returned to its usual silence and calm.

Haruto, who was waiting on the side, immediately went up when he saw Lisa as he reported, "Master, Bambam's back. He's right outside."

Lisa nodded and went to sit on the sofa. "Let him in."

"Drink up a little." Seulgi handed him a glass of liquor.

Bambam briskly walked in with a gloomy expression. He bowed respectfully towards Lisa. "Master!"

Lisa lowered his head to take a sip before he said calmly, "Explain the situation."

"Yes, Master! Our people were following that car earlier, and we turned into Xicheng district's traffic port. Then, we realized that apart from us, a group of people was following the car in front too. They followed them all the way towards the road to suburbs from Xicheng district. Because I was worried about being noticed, I gave up on following them, but I noticed that those people seem to be from City B too. Afterward, they lost them," Bambam answered.

"Does that mean you didn't get anything from your trip this time?" Lisa's gaze instantly turned dark, and his tone contained a hint of coldness too.

"That might not be true, Master!" Bambam answered and took a step forward as he continued, "I know one of them who was among those also chasing after them! As long as I find him to understand the situation, and see who they were trailing after, we'll know the identities of those people!"
