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

Chapter 864: Brother and Sister (2)

The car started moving soon enough, and it quickly disappeared into the night. Ryujin remained stationary for a long while before finally closing his eyes and pondered there. It took him a while before returning back to his house.

"I could sense that Brother has something on his mind. Did something happen?" Yeji came up to Ryujin the moment he returned as she gave him a doubtful glance.

"Maybe something happened to the company. Things are a little tricky with South River Project No. 2 recently, and we've just suffered a huge loss." Ryujin did not want to talk about it too much as he did not want to say what he was not supposed to. He somewhat guessed the reason Lisa's intent of visiting today.

Ji Shung had probably done something that made him feel horrible, but he could not tell Yeji about this yet, or else...

"It's pretty late already. Go take a bath and I'll check if there are any updates on Sehun's end. Let me prepare the bathwater for you," Ryujin said before he went upstairs quickly.

Yeji frowned slightly. She noticed something was odd but decided not to ask anything as she slowly made her way upstairs.

...

It was already 10 p.m. when Lisa arrived back at Maple Residence. The surroundings were pretty quiet. As usual, the study room's light was still on.

He walked swiftly past the living room and went upstairs.

Inside the study room, Jennie was focused on reading documents from Fuhua as she took a glance at her phone. She noticed it was already 10 p.m. and he was still not home yet. As she thought about giving him a call, she heard the sound of a car parking down below. Moments later, the man entered the house, and she set her documents aside.

"Why so late?" Jennie came out of the study room as Lisa opened the door. She wore a beige sleeping robe with her hair down behind her.

"I just overstayed a little. Is our son asleep?"

"Mmm, he's asleep with Grandmother who said she wanted to sleep with him." Jennie smiled as she walked towards him.

Lisa came inside and left his phone on the table. He then handed a big bouquet of champagne roses to Jennie. "These are for you."

Jennie's eyes brightened up when she saw the beautiful flowers. Her expression was joyous as she took the flowers from him. "Thank you... This is for you!" She then kissed his cheek.

Lisa smiled and patted her head. "As long as you're happy."

"I'm happy no matter what you give me."

Jennie's facial expression softened. She put the flowers down and helped him take off his coat. "Just in time. The flowers in the vase are starting to wilt."

Lisa raised his arm a little as she took his coat off swiftly.

"Why did you suddenly visit Yeji? What happened to your meeting with Ji Shung?" Jennie was observing him closely as she did not want to miss any subtle expression from his face.

Lisa sat down on the sofa as he put an arm around her waist. "It's fine. It's just like what we've known. Ji Shung admitted it himself. I just feel sorry for Yeji and wanted to visit her."

Jennie took a pause as she could relate to her man's feelings. She grabbed his hand. "Don't worry. Yeji is a strong girl. She'll be able to take it one day. She survived all these years without him after all, and he doesn't deserve her."

"Don't tell anyone about this for now. Ji Shung confirmed with me that Sehun is returning soon." He suddenly looked at Jennie and said, "Sehun's legs were disabled since the accident six years ago, and his appearance has changed completely. I'm sure he'll definitely do something against me, so you need to be careful."

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm not some fragile little flower in the greenhouse. I know how to protect myself. However, I do feel like there are a lot of things coming at you. You better be careful yourself."

Jennie was concerned. She put the coat away and grabbed him a glass of water.

Lisa's eyes turned gentle as he looked at her. He grinned as he squinted his eyes at her. "Worried about me?"

"Who else would I worry for if not you? You're always the one worrying about others, but you are never considerate about yourself. Mr. Manoban, your life would be much easier if you take on a more selfish approach." Jennie sounded like an adult for once, speaking as if she was giving a lecture. She then handed him a glass of water.

He laughed, enjoying her lecture as he grabbed her little hand. "I have you to worry about me, don't I? It's fine. I know what I can do. I do feel like I could've gone all out before, but I appreciate peace more than ever at this moment. I'm only 32 years old and I don't want anything to happen to me, or else you might marry someone else with our son..."

Jennie covered his mouth before he could finish, giving him a warning stare. "Don't say that. I hope we'll all be safe. The two of us will be able to live like this together until we grow old."

His gaze softened as he let out a chuckle and pulled her close to him. "We'll grow old together."

Jennie nodded and sighed, leaning onto him. "Sometimes, I wish time would just stop right now. I get afraid whenever I think about moments when you're not by my side, Mr. Manoban. I promise to treat you well for the rest of my life. I know I'm weak, but I'm genuine towards you."

She did not want to wait until she lost him, only to appreciate him and realize that she loved him more than she thought.
