The Wife is a Superstar 1

Chapter 161 - I'll Go With You

Gold Heights Condominium.

Later that night, Jennie was at the library office reviewing some language textbooks. She figured that she should at least refresh her knowledge before she started her formal education as a Cross Academy student.

She was reclining on the chaise longue surrounded by several books when Lisa came to see what she was up to. After dinner, they went to their bedroom. She washed up first because he needed to take an important call. When it was his turn at the bathroom, he thought that she was waiting on their bed but when he was done, she was nowhere in sight. He went out of the room and started looking for her. One of the maids told him that his baby girl headed to the library office.

Seeing her so serious, he stood back. He wanted to admire her a bit first. As usual, whenever she was too engrossed in something, she would lose awareness of her surroundings. She hadn't noticed him yet.

Finally, he couldn't hold it any longer. He wanted to touch her now, so he walked the distance between them in just a few long strides. Despite the sound of his footsteps, she still failed to notice him.

A bit displeased, he sat down beside her and pulled her in his arms, nuzzling her neck.

"What—" Annoyed at being abruptly disturbed, she frowned and was about to rebuke him but his lips on her neck deliciously tickled her. She shivered a bit before stretching her neck to give him better access.

He inhaled her sweet scent, and then gave a long lick from her collarbone, up her neck, to her earlobe. He started feeling the familiar desire building within his lower abdomen.

"What are you doing?" he whispered to her ear.

She lightly ran her fingers through his hair. "Studying."

"For what?"

"Mmn...I'm enrolling in a school."

He was a little surprised. He straightened and looked at her. "That's great. Congratulations, baby."

"Thank you." She smiled at him.

"What are you studying?" he asked, although he already had an idea seeing the kind of books currently scattered around her.

"Foreign languages."

"That's good." He nodded, smiling, and then kissed her forehead. "So which school are you going to?"

"Hmm...a Swiss school."

His smile froze. "What?"

"You know, a school in Switzerland."

A sense of panic suddenly rushed over him. He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself but the expression on his face was already beginning to turn ugly.

"Baby, have you thought about this carefully?"

"Yes." She sensed the change in his emotions. She tilted her head to the side, wondering why.

"Have you enrolled already?"

"The process will probably be completed tomorrow. I already met with the academy's Headmaster and the admissions counselor earlier today. They specifically flew all the way from Switzerland just to meet me. There should be no problems in my enrollment."

He was dismayed that she planned and did all of these things without his knowledge. He took several more deep breaths to try controlling his now increasingly turbulent emotions.

"So you're going to Switzerland?"

"Hm?" She blinked, a bit confused. She was about to say no but he spoke before she could.

"That's very far, baby."

Then she finally understood.

'Oh. So that's why he's acting so weirdly. He doesn't want me to leave him. Annoying. But why am I thinking he's...cute?'

She was now getting a little better in understanding him. Feeling a little mischievous, she put on a solemn expression. "What would you do if I go to Switzerland?"

He was now really panicking. He couldn't help it. He tried fixing his expression but to no avail.

"I'll go with you," he suddenly declared. "Where's your school? I'll buy us a house near it. Wait, don't tell me you're going to stay at the dorms."

She fought against the big smile threatening to break out of her expression. How come she was only just noticing how cute he was?

"Hmm... What if I am?" she asked.

"I'll start looking for a house now. I'll have it ready before you start school. Don't stay at the dorms. They're smelly, dirty, and noisy. Plus you have to share the space with other people who I'm sure will be annoying. It's better to have our own place there. Okay, baby?"

"Hmm..."

"Give me your school information. We'll have a house by the end of the week."

She rubbed her hands on his chest, enjoying the hard muscles against her palms. "You'll really go with me to Switzerland?"

"Of course."

"What if I want to go alone?"

"Baby, please..."

"And what about Manoban Corporation? Are you just going to leave it?"

A determined look appeared on his face. "Don't worry about it. I'll make it work. I'm going with you," he insisted.

She couldn't hold it in anymore. She threw her head back and laughed out loud.

"Oh Lisa."

She moved and sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. She looked at his confused expression, giggling.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to Switzerland. At least, not anytime soon," she told him. "But it's true that I'm enrolling in a Swiss school."

"Wait... I don't understand."

"It's kind of a...hmm...weird school, I guess. They'll send instructors to me instead so I won't need to personally be in Switzerland."

He was only getting more confused. "Like homeschooling?"

She thought for a moment. "Something like that."

"Can you tell me what school it is?"

Smiling mischievously, she shook her head. "It's a surprise."

"Please, baby?"

She thought for a moment, but then shook her head again. "I'll tell you but not right now. Like I said, it's a surprise."

He could only sigh. He really wanted to know what school it was so that he could research everything about it. But he was feeling more relieved at the moment to know that she wouldn't be leaving him after all to go study in another country.

"Okay, baby." He finally started smiling again. "I understand."

"Mmn..." She laid her head on his shoulder and then murmured, "Let's go to bed."

"En." He wrapped his arms around her body and stood up.

He carried his precious baby girl to their bedroom. As they slept, he subconsciously embraced her tightly, not wanting to let her go
