The Wife Is A Superstar 4

Chapter 739 Scaredy - Cat

After dinner, everyone chatted for a few minutes until they all noticed that Jennie had fallen asleep on Lisa's lap. He wanted to carry her himself to their bedroom but the others stopped him because of his injuries. Yeon stepped forward with the intention of carrying Jennie herself but Jae blocked her way.

"Let me do it," Jae said while tapping his chest with his hand. "Big Sis Yeon, I know that you're physically the strongest among us friends but as the only one who has a penis in our girl squad, I won't have any face left if I let a woman and a mother like you carry boss by yourself. I may be gorgeous and fabulous but I'm still a MAN!"

"Go, twin bro!" Alice cheered.

Chaeng scoffed. "Gorgeous and fabulous, says who?"

Jae flipped his nonexistent long hair over his shoulder. "Says the universe! It has been ordained since the beginning of time that I, Wonjae, shall be born GOR-GE-OUS and FAB-U-LOUS!"

"Be quiet," Jisoo whisper-shouted and pressed her index finger over her lips to shush them all up. "You'll wake up Ruby." Then she sent an apologetic look at Lisa who had turned cold when it got noisy. Fortunately, she noticed his dangerous aura just in time and managed to warn her friends or else they would probably be kicked out of the place in an unsightly manner.

The others stopped clowning around when they finally noticed Lisa's scary expression. Jae didn't waste any more time and carefully lifted Jennie in a princess-style carry. To his credit, he made it look easy as if she only weighed a feather.

Nobody was surprised that he was actually deceptively strong because they all knew that he trained in Systema with Jennie on a regular basis. Although he wasn't as skilled in the martial arts compared to a natural like Jennie, he had trained his body enough to be physically stronger than most average people. It wasn't only Systema. From yoga to pilates, Zumba and latin ballroom—whatever work-out Jennie decided to do, Jae was sure to join her as well. He might look skinny on the outside but there were well-defined lean muscles underneath his clothes that others would envy.

After depositing Jennie on the huge bed, Jae and the others bid good night to Lisa. Alice, Jisoo and Chaeng didn't go home right away, though. Instead, they hung out with Jae and Yeon in the indoor forest while enjoying a bottle of expensive champagne from Lisa's incredible wine cellar.

The weekend passed by in a flash. It was Monday morning.

Lisa was having a leisurely walk in the hallways after breakfast which was his way of keeping active without aggravating his injuries. He was already looking and feeling better compared to the previous days. His bruises had darkened and took on an uglier appearance, but they were healing properly. The pain had also become more manageable, either because his injuries were hurting less or maybe because he already got used to this level of pain so he didn't feel it as much. In short, he was optimistic that he would heal in time for their wedding day and honeymoon at this rate of recovery.

On the other hand, the groggy Jennie felt like she wanted to strangle the sun for rising up too early for her liking. Her entire body seemed to be glued on the soft and comfy bed. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get up.

"Louis, time," she croaked in a sleepy voice under the thick duvet.

"Good morning, Mommy! Meow~"

Jennie grunted.

"Current time is 10:47 AM—"

Jennie's eyes flashed open. "What time?!"

"Meow? Oops. Time changed. It's 10:48 AM now, Mommy. Is there something wrong?"

"Yes! Didn't I ask you to set an alarm for 5:30 AM because I have work that starts at 7 AM today? Why didn't you wake me up?" Jennie threw the duvet aside and tried to get up but failed. Annoyed at her lethargic body, she decided to roll off the bed instead.

She eventually stopped rolling when she reached the edge of the bed. Even that simple action tired her. "Answer my question. Why didn't you wake me up? Is there an error in your system, that's why the alarm failed?"

"No, Mommy. Louis' system is running smoothly! No errors at all, thanks to Mommy's regular and thorough scans! Meow~"

"Then why?"

"Daddy told Louis to cancel the 5:30 AM alarm and let Mommy sleep longer today. Meow~"

"He did WHAT?!!!" Jennie's body finally shot up into a sitting position on the bed. Her face twisted with fury.

Louis released a whimpering mewl. "Mo-mommy?"

"Where's your dad?! How dare he cancel my alarm?! He knows that I have an important work commitment today! And you know about it too, Louis! Are you a daddy's boy now? Is that it?! You no longer need me, that's why you're defying your mom now and obeying only what your dad tells you?!"

Silence.

Jennie's rage intensified. "Louis? Where are you? Louis! You little kitten! How dare you run away from your mother?! Come back here!! NOW!!!"

Along a hallway in another part of the mansion, Lisa was rushing back to the bedroom as fast as he could while listening to a sobbing Louis with a grim expression.

"Wuwuwu! Please hurry up, Daddy! Mommy is so scary! The area holding the complex emotional algorithms which makes up Louis' personality and allows it to evolve is shaking in terror right now! Mommy is Louis' creator and has the most direct effect on how my personality evolves. If Mommy continues scolding Louis in such a scary manner, Louis might evolve into a real scaredy-cat! Wuwuwu! I, the cute and mighty Louis, don't want to become a weak scaredy-cat! Never! Please do something, Daddy!! Meeeeeooooow!!!"
