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

Chapter 778: Want To Share Your Burden (5)

The frigid rain went on as the strong breeze messed up their clothes. Jisoo shuddered slightly because of the cold, yet his eyes never moved away from Lisa.

Lisa stood there quietly as his mind replayed Jisoo's words. At that moment, he could almost hear the sound of his own heart breaking. He took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

The reason that he had been looking for all these years finally came to him.

What else could he say?

After some time, his expression returned to normal.

"Miyeon told you it's my child?" Lisa asked calmly.

"She didn't. She told me to ask you, but I think I know the answer after seeing your reaction! Are you still telling me you don't have a past with her?" Jisoo put on a sarcastic smile as his gaze towards Lisa turned unfriendly as well.

Lisa did not reply. His eyes darkened as his expression turned aloof.

"Is it really such a difficult question to answer?" Jisoo was getting impatient.

Lisa glanced at him, hesitating for a moment before asking coldly, "So, you think it's mine?"

"Who else could it be? Suho's? Or Sehun's?"

"You should have asked her. Wouldn't she know who the father is?" Lisa took a deep breath, allowing the cold breeze to calm him down. His voice sounded hoarse as he spoke, "There's no point finding out who the child's father is anymore since they're already dead. Just act like you never knew about this. It might be good for both of us."

"Good? Escaping from reality isn't a good thing."

Lisa closed his eyes and tried to catch his breath. "I'm not escaping. There are some things better left unknown. You're here to meet me today because you don't fully trust Miyeon, right?"

Jisoo was stunned for a moment. He seemed a little lost as he remained silent for a while. "I just wanted to know what happened. Moreover, Jennie is a great woman, and you should really be treating her well. I see myself in her and I hope that she can live a happy life."

Lisa's expression softened when he looked at Jisoo. "Aren't you worried that I might be thinking about something else when you tell me that? I'm not a very generous man."

"That's your problem, but well, it might just be my admiration. All my hopes and dreams were crushed one after another. After that, I finally found something, and I hope I don't lose it as well."

Jisoo's smile turned bitter as Miyeon's beautiful face appeared in his mind along with the scene at her office the other day. His heart was wrenched in pain.

"It won't disappear. I'll tell you this since you really want to know. Jennie is my only woman. I hope that you won't mention this to me again and just let it go. If the secret is exposed one day, then... That'll be it then. Maybe everyone will feel better that way,"

Lisa seemed sad, and his head felt a little heavy as he coughed slightly before looking outside.

Jisoo felt odd. Lisa started talking again when he was about to ask something, "I hope this is it since you've got an answer from me. There's nothing left to be traced, and you don't know anything about this. Can you do that?"

"What's the reason?" asked Jisoo upon noticing Lisa's unease.

"There's no reason. Just take it as I owe you one. If there's anything you need me to do, I'll do whatever I can."

"Haha, is Lisa Manoban actually begging me?" Jisoo suddenly started chuckling though his eyes were filled with complicated emotions. He stared at Lisa for a while before leaving.

"I'll trust you this once. It's just that. You'll lose the love of your life if you lose this bet!"

"Never! She'll stay by my side forever," Lisa gave a firm reply.

Jisoo stopped and said, "Good luck then!"

...

When Jisoo arrived near the entrance, he saw Jennie standing beside the staircase with a black umbrella.

She wore a light-colored casual outfit with a windbreaker on top whilst her beautiful long hair was left untied behind her back. She just stood there quietly while looking at him.

Did she hear their conversation just now?

Jisoo clenched his fists and was angered by his own carelessness. Maybe he should have talked to Lisa about it somewhere else.

"Are you going back?" Jennie broke the silence first.

He looked at her for a moment before nodding his head.

"Mr. Manoban made breakfast. Come join us before going home," she offered.

He smiled as he gave her a grateful glance, but he shook his head. "It's fine. I'm not hungry. How are you and your son? By the way, I've forgotten your son's name."

"We're great. That little guy is called Leo. Isn't it pleasing to the ears?" Jennie smiled proudly.

"Leo?" Jisoo nodded. "That's a good name indeed! Alright, I won't bother you guys anymore. See you soon!" He then walked down the staircase and went past her.

"Wait!"

Jisoo spun around to look at her when he heard her.

Then, Jennie handed her umbrella to him.
