Meanwhile, on the clean cemented path on the way to the Grand Lakes Villa area.

Jisoo was dressed in a black hooded trench coat. He walked along the quiet sidewalk while holding huge bags. The warm sun cast a long shadow of his tall figure. The cold breeze that rustled past made his clothes a little messy while his already frail frame appeared lonely and desolate.

He went back to the Kim residence late at night. The bags contained all of Wang Qin's things that she had packed up. As for everything else, whatever that should have been cleared were cleared; nothing was left behind.

He hoped that Wang Qin who was gone would no longer need to face Kim Joon. Kim Joon did not even have the right to keep her things. He was completely detached from the Kim family. From now on, it would just be him, Jisoo, alone.

He did not know if he would be alone forever. Now that Wang Qin was gone, his heart was emptied by half too. The energy in him felt as if it had been hollowed out.

However, he knew that he was still alive, still breathing, and blood in him was still warm. There were still many things he wanted to do. Even if it was not for himself, it would be to fulfill Wang Qin's lifelong wishes.

The phone in his pocket buzzed for a long time. Just when he thought the other person was about to hang up, Jisoo took it out to look at the screen. He realized it was Lisa's work number, so he then answered the call.

"Master Kim, it's me Haruto."

"What's up?" Jisoo answered calmly. You could not hear any warmth from his deep voice.

"Our Master's having a barbeque at Maple Residence this afternoon. Are you coming?"

Jisoo knew about the news of Lisa being released very early on. Now, the media had also been clearing the misunderstandings about Lisa. The calamity that he had been going through was finally coming to an end, which was great. However, his mother was never coming back.

He thought about it, then he said with a solemn tone, "Nah, I'm a little busy."

Upon hearing Jisoo's dull tone, Haruto said on the other end, "Master Kim, our Master says... you haven't given our Little Master a gift."

A gift?

Jisoo instantly frowned and could not help but say, "Your Master Manoban really never rises early without profit. How dare he ask for his son's gift? I remember when Jennie was still hospitalized, I already sent a gift over. Don't be greedy, profiteer!"

Haruto laughed out loud from the other end. He quickly explained, "No, Master Kim, you've misunderstood. Our Master says it's for our First Master. The gift you gave our Missus was for the Little Master. I'm guessing you haven't met our First Master, have you?"

"What? First Master? Little Master? Since when did that bastard Lisa have another son?" Jisoo cried out in surprise.

"Our First Master's already quite a few years old, Master Kim."

"Lisa's illegitimate son?" Jisoo's mind instantly flashed with this possibility.

"No, Master Kim, you'll know when you come over in the afternoon. Our Master Manoban said that you can even bargain for the role of godfather."

"Go to hell! A daughter would be much better!"

"Haha, if it's a daughter, you might need to wait a few more years."

"Okay, please tell Lisa that I want steak with honey sauce, yellow croaker stewed in red wine, and..."

Before Jisoo could finish, Haruto had already hung up. When he heard the dead tone, Jisoo's face darkened and he cursed Lisa before picking up his pace and walking ahead.

Shortly after noon, Seulgi, Moonbyul, and Solar all made their way over. They even brought quite a number of ingredients for the barbeque. Haruto had his lunch at Maple Residence, so he saw that everyone had rushed over, and were happily preparing the food with the servants.

Inside Maple Residence's living room, Jennie and Solar were chatting idly on the sofa, while Lisa and his buddies went to the study room, Louis was happily busy in the backyard with Haruto.

"You've been married for so long, but this is the first time I'm seeing you two come over together. Mr. Manoban and I were just talking about it earlier. We think that you and Moonbyul look fitting together. You have the look of a couple similar in features [1]," said Jennie smilingly as she examined Solar.

When she heard that, Solar was momentarily stunned. Suddenly, she did not know how to answer her. She thought about it for a moment before replying, "That's just a baseless belief. Actually, I didn't think that he and I would. It's just that suddenly..."

Now that she recalled it, she still felt like it lacked consideration, but ever since she married Moonbyul, she did not feel that different. Her life remained quite peaceful. Apart from the awkwardness of suddenly having to share a room with him, everything else was going quite well.

Jennie seemed to be able to read Solar's thoughts. She found out about the whole story of Moonbyul and Solar's marriage from Lisa. Upon deeper thought, she felt like it was extraordinarily similar to her and Lisa's situation. They both married in the spur of a moment, and both lacked better options.

Jennie pondered for a moment and then decided to be an advocate of Moonbyul. "Marriage's like that. As long as you get used to it, Moonbyul's a pretty good person. The three of the buddies are all great. They don't have the foppish ways of those sons from prestigious families. The Lee family's a decent bunch too. Don't worry. Last night, Mr. Manoban told me that Moonbyul's a gem. Even though he can be a little dominant and stubborn, he's an extremely tolerant and considerate man."

"I know how he's like. We're already married anyway. No matter what, I have to continue on." Solar clasped her hands together gently, yet her eyes were blank.

"Watching the two of you right now reminds me of how Lisa and I were back then. After that, I thought I was really lucky. Of course, I also hope that you'll be as lucky as I am. Solar, you're a great girl. Whether it was from the time I gave birth to Byulg, or this time, I really have you to thank for."

"You're too courteous, Director Kim," Solar replied awkwardly.

"Just call me Jennie."

Solar was the most awkward girl that Jennie had ever met. Although it had been so long, she continued to respectfully called her 'Director Kim', yet Jennie felt helpless hearing this address.

Solar paused. Something that Moonbyul had said from before flashed in her mind. She pondered for a moment, and then lowered her voice as she said softly, "Okay, I'll call you Jennie then."

Jennie smiled and nodded cheerfully. She was about to continue when she heard someone call out from outside, "Master Kim, you're here!"

It was Haruto's voice.

Master Kim?

Kim Jisoo?

Jennie raised her brows in surprise. She turned to Solar who looked up in shock too.
