"When Mother found out that she's pregnant, Father didn't drag her to the Civil Affairs Bureau like a caveman," Luka replied. His tone this time wasn't bored like usual but was instead filled with contempt for his uncle. "Father responded by persuading Mother to move forward their wedding. They had an intimate but grand wedding with close family and friends that will be remembered for a long time to come because it's the best wedding in the history of the planet."
Of course, Luka was always biased towards his parents, especially when it came to his beloved mother. Everything about his mother was the best in the history of the planet and the whole wide universe for him. His older brother, Louis, also thought the same way.
"That's right, catfight! Uncle is doing it all wrong! Uncle Jae said before that a lot of girls dream of having a romantic proposal and a beautiful wedding just like what Daddy gave Mommy. How can Uncle Jiyong tell Auntie Jisoo to marry you just like that without any warning or preparation?! So thoughtless! Poor Auntie! Oooooh, the cute and mighty Louis is so sad for my auntie! If Daddy did that to Mommy, Mommy will surely kick Daddy's butt! Oh no! Meow!"
Jiyong finally had an epiphany. Now he understood why Jisoo reacted that way despite her always telling him before that she wanted to marry him. Then hesitation filled him. More specifically, self-doubt.
He had no fucking idea how to go about making a romantic proposal and planning a beautiful wedding. But the most important question that he needed to ask himself was—did he want to put that much effort for Jisoo?
His thoughts and emotions were all jumbled up that he didn't know how to make sense of what he truly wanted.
But there was one thing that he was sure of right now. There was no way that he was going to leave Jisoo now that she is pregnant. Even if he didn't love her (or did he?), she was now going to become the mother of his child and deserved to be treated well.
He didn't care much about marriage, except when it came to his sister. Maria deserved the best and the status of official wife. In their past lives, he already castrated a number of motherfuckers who tried to seduce her without the intention of marriage. They just wanted to sleep with her. His sister was too focused on her computers and music that time, not to mention that she was extremely dense about sexual attraction, so she had no idea just how many men were lusting for her.
If he had known that she was reborn as Ruby Jane earlier, he would have surely not allowed Lisa to snatch her. It was already too late when he learned that Ruby was really his sister, Maria. Lisa had already touched her and tricked her into becoming his lover.
Lisa barely passed his requirements for being Maria's husband, but for someone not belonging to the underworld, the man was already quite impressive. At least, he had the wealth, status, and power to protect Maria. Also, Maria is happy with him. That was the most important.
Jiyong already long accepted the fact that his sister is married to Lisa. As for his own marriage, he hadn't really thought about it especially in this new life of his as Jiyong. All he cared about was avenging the annihilation of his family and their organization.
But now...there is Jisoo to think about. He knew that marriage is very important to her. She already told him many times before how much she wanted to marry him.
He massaged his head, feeling an uncomfortable ache squeezing his skull, perhaps caused by all these things that happened practically overnight.
"Leave us now, you two brats," he said through gritted teeth. "Don't interrupt me again."
"Aaaaw! But the cute and mighty Louis wants to watch all this drama! Meow~"
Luka was silent but Jiyong knew that the little devil didn't want to leave either.
His nostrils flared and he spat, "I'll pay you two so just leave! Okay?"
"Luka thanks Uncle for the payment."
"Aaaaw, fine! Good luck, Uncle! Please don't be a scumbag anymore! Auntie is so pitiful! Ooooooh, so sad! Meowuwuwu!"
Finally, the two brats left. Jiyong sighed in relief. His headache improved a little but not much.
"Jisoo? Open the door." He knocked but she didn't respond. He could still hear her soft cries inside.
With a hard expression, he used the thin string of wire to pick the lock. It only took him a few seconds before the lock clicked and he pushed the door open.
Jisoo squeaked in surprise. Her face was red and covered in tears. She was sitting on the bathroom floor.
His expression turned ugly and he hurried to lift her up. "What the fuck are you doing sitting on the cold, hard floor?!"
She tried to get away from him but his hold on her was inescapable. Her paltry strength couldn't compare to him at all.
"I'm sorry," he said, his tone solemn.
At last, she stopped struggling. However, she continued looking at him with an aggrieved expression.
"I was wrong. I didn't consider your feelings and forced my own decision on you without discussing it with you first."
Her lips trembled. She wiped her tears with her hands. "Okay. I'm sorry, too. I overreacted."
"Hm. It's fine." He gave her pouting lips a peck. "You still need to eat."
She nodded. "But I don't think I can face the others looking like this...."
"Alright. We'll eat here in our room instead."
"T-thanks."
They stared at each other. Jisoo became flustered at the increasing heat in his eyes.
"I...uhm, need to shower first."
"Okay. Don't slip on the floor. I'll order the kitchen to deliver our meals here."
She nodded and accepted another kiss on the mouth from him before he left the bathroom. Now that she knew that locking the door was useless against him, she didn't bother closing it anymore. She left it open just like last night.
"Propose to me first, you brute," she muttered under her breath as she stepped into the shower.
