The next morning, the lovers woke up at dawn with only a few hours of sleep. Jennie forced herself out of bed to join Lisa for breakfast, even though her work wouldn't start until later. He tried persuading her to return to bed but she insisted on accompanying him.
She took the time while Lisa was showering and dressing up in his business suit to fight off sleep and roll out of the bed.
Groggy from the lack of sleep, Jennie walked like a zombie with Lisa out of their bedroom suite to the breakfast table. Lily and Leo greeted them.
The two cats were usually the ones who accompanied their daddy during breakfast whenever their mommy was still asleep. They also liked watching the chef cook (and stealing some scraps of food when he wasn't looking).
Jennie carried the two cats in her arms. Lily had slimmed down a lot, although she was still bigger compared to Leo. At least now the veterinarian didn't scold Jae anymore whenever he brought the cats for their regular check-up. However, they had to continue monitoring her weight because she had the tendency to overeat.
While eating traditional breakfast of congee and a wide array of side dishes, Jennie gradually became more awake. She chatted with Lisa and was extra attentive to him, serving him food and doting on him—things that he usually did for her.
Lisa's eyebrows rose at her unusual behaviour but he didn't stop her. Why would he? He was immensely enjoying it, thank you very much.
After pouring him more coffee, Jennie hesitated a bit. She wanted to talk to him about something but worried that it would ruin the nice atmosphere between them.
He noticed her hesitation. "What is it, love? Tell me."
"Can you..." She cleared her throat and tried again. "Can you tell me more about your anniversary present for me? I want to know about the French perfumery you gifted me."
Just like what she expected, his expression darkened. However, his voice was gentle when he replied to her. "Don't think about it anymore, love. I'll give you a better present soon."
"Hom, please. Don't be like this." She grabbed his hand on top of the table and held it. "It's your anniversary present to me. I'll keep it. I really will."
He clasped their hands together. "You don't have to force yourself to like it."
"Tell me more about it, then. I'll decide whether I like it or not after hearing more about it. Okay?"
"Hmm..." He took a few moments to think about it while sipping his coffee.
Jennie waited for him. She massaged his hand clasped with hers, hoping that by doing so would soften him. It was partly her fault anyway that he had become prejudiced against the French perfumery, blaming it for causing their fight last night.
When he finished the entire cup of coffee without giving her an answer, she moved from her seat and sat on his lap instead. She gave him several smacking kisses on the cheeks, deciding to use the honey trap instead to persuade him.
"Tell me, please," she asked again, batting her eyelashes at him.
His mouth twitched seeing her puppy eyes. He immediately softened, but he was enjoying her honey trap so he pretended to be unaffected. And it worked. His baby girl continued raining kisses all over his face and caressing him all over with her hands. After enjoying her tender loving care for some time, he finally relented.
"Alright, I'll tell you about the perfumery."
In clear and concise words, he described what the company was and how he was able to acquire it.
