"W-what? No! Big Brother, wait!" Jennie squeezed herself between the two men. "Please let go of Lisa! Stop!"

Jiyong was too enraged to listen to her. He continued roaring at Lisa's face and shaking him by the collar.

"Fifth Brother, calm down," Lisa said.

Lisa's shock already wore off, but he wasn't angry at being attacked by his Fifth Brother. Not at all. He was too happy to be angry at the moment. His baby girl just told him that she was falling in love with him! How could he not be happy? So he rooted himself to the floor and stood like a mountain, not retaliating against Jiyong.

His stupid grin enraged Jiyong even more.

"Big Brother, listen to what I'm going to say first," Jennie pleaded, feeling frantic and annoyed at the same time. "You're mistaken! I'm not pregnant! Big Brother, you idiot!"

Jiyong stopped but didn't release Lisa's collar yet. "You're not pregnant?"

"I'm not! I already told you!"

"Oh." He finally released Lisa. "Why didn't you say so?"

"I was going to but you just assumed that I'm pregnant and then started attacking Lisa." Jennie harrumphed. "Where did you even get the idea that I'm pregnant? We haven't even had full sex yet! How can I get pregnant?"

"Baby, there's no need to tell him that," Lisa interjected but was ignored.

"Oh. Then what were you going to say earlier?" Jiyong asked.

"I was going to share with you that I just told Lisa that I think I'm falling in love with him." Jennie began to feel shy again after speaking. She glanced at Lisa and smiled.

Of course, the idiot gave her a loving grin.

Jiyong wanted to vomit watching the two.

"That's it?" he said.

Jennie looked at him and blinked a few times. "What do you mean 'that's it'? Big Brother, this is my first time falling in love. It's an important event!"

Jiyong looked at his excited sister. Pain and unwillingness constricted his chest. His little sister would always remain his baby little sister in his eyes. He forced himself to calm down. After calming down, he realized that he was actually feeling dizzy.

'This body is too weak,' he thought, sighing.

The dizziness intensified as if his body was protesting against being called weak.

"Ugh."

"Big Brother?"

Lisa caught him as he staggered.

"What's wrong?" Jennie panicked.

She was concerned about her big brother, but the two men were more concerned about her. They didn't want to stress her out. What if she collapsed again?

So Jiyong gritted his teeth and fought against the dizziness. Lisa helped him sit down on the couch.

"Little Sister, I'm fine," Jiyong said, waving his hand in a dismissive manner, even though he sounded weak.

"Don't worry, baby. Fifth Brother will be fine."

"But he doesn't look fine!"

Lisa tried to calm her, while Jiyong focused on breathing. Jiyong felt better after a few minutes. He was soaked in sweat and looked pale, though.

Damn this body! Even if he wanted to beat up Lisa, Jiyong wouldn't be able to because his body wouldn't allow him. He would most likely be the one knocked out first if they ever fought—knocked out by his own damn body!

"Calm down, Little Sister," he told Jennie. He stood up feeling drained. "I'm fine now. I'm just going to my room to rest. I'm a little tired."

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yeah. When I wake up later, I want a feast. We have to celebrate this 'important event' of you falling in love." He was unwilling but he still told her, "Congratulations, Little Sister."

Jennie dove into his chest and gave him a tight hug. "Thank you, Big Brother."

Chuckling, Jiyong rubbed her head.

Lisa's expression turned ugly seeing them embrace. His jealousy and possessiveness were about to rear their ugly heads again when Jiyong raised an eyebrow at him. He closed his eyes and controlled himself, reminding himself that the two treated each other as siblings. Nothing more, nothing less.

Besides, his baby girl loved HIM, Lisa! Haha!

The stupid grin returned to his face. The love-struck Lisa was already thinking that Jennie loved him when all she said was "I think I'm falling in love with you" and not "I love you".

Jiyong headed to his room to rest. Jennie and Lisa informed the cook to prepare a celebratory feast for dinner. Then they continued being lovey-dovey, sending Jae into cheering hysterics.

Later that evening, the entire household had a sumptuous dinner feast.

This was the happiest day of Lisa's life so far. He couldn't wait to have more happy days with his baby girl. His Fifth Brother's earlier misunderstanding reinforced his desire to build a family with her. He could already imagine her pregnant with his child.

But of course, he needed to persuade her to marry him first.

Jennie and Lisa's week off from work ended on a high note.

He liked to believe that his baby girl recovered well because he showered her with his constant love and pampering. As for him, he was of course brimming with love and happiness.

Too bad that they only had one week off. He wanted to extend it but Jennie was adamant in returning to work. His lady's wish was his command, but he made her promise not to push herself too hard in the following days.

First day of their return to work.

His baby girl was still deeply sleeping when he left home before sunrise. He immediately dove back to work as if he didn't leave at all. There were no problems during his absence because Grandpa took care of everything. In fact, the company's performance increased under Grandpa's leadership.

Lisa was still love-struck but he didn't let it affect his work performance. He was even more serious and motivated now because in addition to running his company, he was also pushing his plans to right his wrongs into motion.

He needed to do all of these before he could tell his baby girl the truth to show her his sincerity and resolve in asking for her forgiveness.
