My wife is a beautiful Ceo 2

Chapter 621-625

Chapter 621
The Two-Faced Woman

As the cool breeze of the ocean whipped around them, Lisa's words were like a warm breeze, wrapping Karia in a blanket of warmth and security.

After a period of silence, Lisa released Karia who was in his embrace, and reached out and ran one of his hands through her soft curls.

The orange rays from the streetlamps on the bridge bled all around them and illuminated their faces. Karia's angelic features carried a tinge of childishness when she pouted her lips.

"First you made me feel absolutely miserable. Now you're doing the opposite. Brother Lisa, are you deliberately showing off in order to impress me?" she asked in a joking manner.

Lisa's lips twitched. "Do you even have anything positive to say to me in that big head of yours? For example, a brother should do his best to correct his little sister's attitude towards life."

Karia chewed on her bottom lip, mulling something over in her mind. Then, without any warning whatsoever, she stood on her tiptoes and gave Lisa a peck on the lips!

Her actions caught Lisa off guard. And it left as soon as it came, leaving him feeling cold. All he felt were soft, petal-like lips applying pressure on his. Lisa was shocked to his core rendering him useless.

Karia blushed uncontrollably. Her cheeks were unnaturally warm despite the cool breeze around her. In all the years of her life, this was her first time doing something as brazen as taking the initiative to kiss a man.

"Don't misinterpret that kiss!" squawked Karia.

In an attempt to cover up her awkwardness and embarrassment, Karia raised her head to speak but was betrayed by her reddened cheeks.

"That was merely a platonic kiss from a sister to her brother. Nothing else to it!" said Karia indignantly.

Lisa sighed inwardly. Karia's feelings were as clear as day despite her efforts to conceal them. Every word she spoke only further confirmed her feelings for him.

Lisa's personal life was already a tangled mess. Furthermore, he had always viewed Karia as a sister figure in his life and treated her like family. So how could he then develop any romantic feelings for her?

When Karia was first welcomed into the family, Jennie already had her apprehensions about it. If he really went and did something absurd like form a romantic relationship with Karia, what would Jennie think? Would she view him as nothing less than a predator that would never let go of anything in its grasp?

Not to mention if he acknowledged Karia's feelings, Jun Ji Hyun and Son Ye-Jin's opinions of him would only be further cemented.

Karia was a sensible girl. She knew the predicament that Lisa was in, but sometimes the human emotion gets in the way of logic and rational thinking.

As these thoughts raced across his mind, Lisa settled on the most neutral course of action by laughing lightly and letting the conversation pass.

"We should get a move on and go back home for dinner. I'm getting hungry. If we don't rush home, we'll be left with nothing but scraps," he forced out. Lisa decided to pretend as if nothing had happened.

Karia was flooded with a sense of relief at Lisa's words but deep inside her, there lingered a sense of disappointment. However, this was neither the time nor place to talk about it so she hummed in acknowledgement and followed him.

After a twenty-minute long ride in awkward silence, they finally reached home.

Just as they were walking to the front door, Lisa halted in his steps. He proceeded to smack his forehead, and exclaim loudly, "Damn it!"
