The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 5

Chapter 846: Gather (2)

Lisa disappeared out of the doorway before Seulgi could say anything. Seulgi then let out another cry of pain.

Moonbyul glanced at him coldly before catching up to Lisa.

Seulgi felt aggrieved as he rubbed his shoulder which Moonbyul punched moments ago as he shook his head while mumbling, "How come the two of you have become so weird after getting married? You guys weren't like this before. What's up with you?!" He bemoaned his fate before catching up to them.

Lisa saw Louis slowly going downstairs when he arrived at the staircase. Louis turned his head over and looked upward as he heard the sound of footsteps. Lisa lowered himself and carried him.

"Father..."

"Mmm, you got heavier. Seems like you had a good time at grandpa's place." Lisa gave Louis a loving smile.

Louis put an arm around his neck and chuckled. "Grandpa said I grew bigger. He can barely carry me anymore! Father, when will I be as tall as you?"

"Wait until you're about 30. You need to eat more. When I was your age, I could eat a full bowl of rice, the same big bowl used in grandpa's house. I wasn't a picky eater as well. I heard from your mother that you don't like to eat carrots and vegetables. You can't grow taller like this." Lisa gave Louis a serious look, but there was a tint of gentleness underneath.

"Can I grow taller by eating carrots and vegetables?" Louis blinked his big, innocent eyes and asked Lisa.

Lisa pinched his cheeks as he had a rare, warm smile on his face. "Of course. A balanced diet promotes growth. I was around 170cm when I entered high school. Together with Uncle Moonbyul and Uncle Seulgi, we were handsome and great at basketball, so we were pretty popular among the girls."

Louis hesitated before finally deciding to tell his father his secret, "Father, the girl, Ah Hua, in the next class is really pretty. A lot of boys like her, but she likes me. She also gave me her favourite wind chime which is really lovely."

"Mmm? And then?" Lisa squinted his eyes and gave Louis a curious glance.

Louis smiled as he blushed. "Ah Hua said she wants me to become her boyfriend."

Boyfriend?

Lisa raised his eyebrows. "What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything. I took her gift and then told her that we're still too young, and it's not the time for a relationship." Louis gave Lisa a serious reply.

Lisa could not help but laugh. He pinched Louis's cheek again and asked, "You know what being in a relationship is like? Who taught you about it? But what you did was correct. You'll meet even prettier girls in the future. Your job now is to focus on your studies."

"But, Father, Ah Hua is really beautiful." Louis's eyes were sparkling as he explained.

"As beautiful as your mother?" Lisa asked.

Louis gave some serious thought to it before shaking his head.

"That's it then. Your mother and I are still young. Don't find us a daughter-in-law so soon, okay?"

"Father, what's a daughter-in-law?"

...

The father-son pair talked as they walked downstairs. When they saw Jennie and Jisoo chatting on the sofa in the living room, the two of them walked straight towards them.

"Here we are." Lisa put down Louis and greeted Jisoo.

Jisoo nodded as he glanced at Lisa. He heard the sound of footsteps coming from upstairs and saw both Moonbyul and Seulgi coming down.

"It's pretty lively here!" Seulgi and Moonbyul traded glances as they laughed.

"It's almost time now. Tell Haruto and the servants to prepare the stuff. We'll head out now." Jennie then walked towards the front yard.

By the time night arrived, the evening around the Grand Waves Villa area was spectacular. Colorful lights surrounded the villa area as the sky turned dark, and the front yard of Maple Residence was well lit. It all seemed very lively.

They left the main cooking to Lisa and Haruto. Seulgi and Jisoo were playing cards while Moonbyul and Solar were preparing the ingredients together while Jennie was helping Lisa out. Louis was in-charge of delivering the cooked food to the table.

"Have a try?"

As Jennie was slathering the sauces on the barbeque meat, the smell was extremely tempting. She felt hungry and looked up to see the man handing her a stick of barbequed meat.

Jennie looked around and realized no one noticed, so she smiled cheekily and took a bite.

"Mr. Manoban, I'm starting to realize you're a real treasure. You are so breath-taking and you're an excellent cook. Here's a reward for you!" Jennie swallowed her food happily and then planted a kiss on his cheek.

Lisa enjoyed himself as he smiled and continued with the barbeque. "I told you you wouldn't regret marrying me."

"Alright, quickly finish these up."

...

"Lis, are you done? Come and have a drink!"

"Jennie, you guys, leave it for a moment. Everyone come and have a drink!"

Moonbyul's voice was heard by everyone.

Lisa and Jennie came over with the barbequed meat.

After they had their fill, Moonbyul and the others started playing cards again.

Just as he expected, Jisoo guessed that Lisa wanted to tell him something when he was invited over.

Lisa was lying down on the lounge chair on the front yard with Jisoo right beside him. They were both watching the group playing cards. Jennie had brought Louis back in for a shower, and the little guy was getting up as well.
