The Wife Is A Superstar 7

Chapter 1249 - Birthday Party Invitation

Jennie laughed at her husband's overprotective actions. He supported her from walking to sitting down. She had already grown used to him acting like this. He wouldn't listen to her protests anyway. All she could do was change her mindset and think that he wasn't treating her as an invalid but as an empress to be served instead.

She wasn't the one who conjured this empress analogy. It was Jae. Not surprisingly, Lisa didn't refute it, even telling her that she was indeed his beloved empress.

As a result, her previous misgivings about his overcautious treatment of her all faded away. Of course, the previous miscarriage scare was a huge lesson for her. She knew that it was mostly her fault for not controlling her emotions better and allowing her hard-headedness to get the better of her good sense.

This was why even without her husband and the others' careful treatment of her, she would take better care of her pregnancy herself. Her body was no longer hers alone. It was now her husband's, and during the duration of her pregnancy, their twin babies' as well. She had to take better care of herself for her family.

Lisa continued to fuss over her even as Jae and Bam were laying out delicious and nutritious dishes on the table. All the food was delivered from home around the same time Jennie's entourage arrived at Manoban Corporation.

Knowing that their mistress was going to eat with their master, the chefs at home took extra care in preparing the food and making sure that they suited their pregnant mistress' tastes. By this time, the chefs at home had already mastered dishes that would minimize their mistress' nausea.

Jennie no longer felt sick when eating but this only applied to food prepared by their private chefs. There were still instances that she would feel sick when encountering food prepared outside. This was why Lisa prevented others from giving her food not made from home.

Jae and Bam left to eat their own lunch, leaving the husband and wife alone in the CEO's office. Even the talkative Louis didn't disturb his parents and followed his Uncle Jae instead. The two chatterboxes had a lively conversation while the helpless Bam could only resign himself to the ear torture.

Back at the CEO's office, Lisa was attentive as usual, serving his wife food. They sat together on the couch and ate lunch in a relaxed manner.

"Have you spoken to Luka yet?" Jennie asked.

"En. The kid dropped by my computer earlier today and said that he's busy helping his Uncle at Shadow Winds and also helping out Jisoo whenever he has free time."

Jennie smiled. "He's working hard."

Lisa put more meat in his wife's bowl and said, "He's happy to work hard and earn more money from his uncle and aunt."

She chuckled. "Let him. If it makes him happy, that's all that matters."

"En."

"The new configurations I did on his system will make sure that we're alerted if he's doing something too dangerous and beyond his current abilities."

He nodded and poured hot tea for her. He didn't bother telling his wife that he paid their AI son premium money to blackmail Jiyong into acting less restless. So far, it was effective. Luka was now freely using his Aunt to make his Uncle agree to most of demands.

Jiyong was resentful but still backed down a great deal. The activities of his group Shadow Winds had become less frequent and more mindful. Lisa was very satisfied. As long as Jiyong curbed his recklessness, Jennie and Jisoo who were both pregnant wouldn't have to worry themselves sick.

After lunch, Jennie stayed in Lisa's office and even helped him interpret a call with a foreign partner. It was after that business call that Jennie noticed something on his desk. She took it and began reading.

Lisa saw what she was reading and told her, "It's from René Alejandro. He had someone send it to my office this morning."

Jennie raised an eyebrow. "It's addressed to both of us and yet he sent it here to Manoban Corporation?"

He shrugged. "Maybe he finds it easier to send it here after personally experiencing the strict security at Dragon Palace."

She pursed her lips and continued to study the invitation.

"Do you want to attend?" he asked but still said, "I think that it's better that you don't. It's only a birthday party anyway. We can just send him a gift. No need to personally attend—"

"Excuse me, Mommy and Daddy! Grandma Chaerin is calling Mommy's number. Should Louis accept the call? Meow~"

Lisa looked at his wife. Jennie hesitated for a second before sighing and letting Louis accept the call. After the phone call, she felt exhausted, irritated, and a dull ache started in her temples.

A displeased Lisa carried her to the connecting bedroom in his office and laid her down on the bed before starting to massage her head. His expression was cold but her movements were gentle.

"Why did you agree to attend René Alejandro's birthday party?" he asked with a frown.

He had wanted to take over the phone call with Chaerin but his wife gestured for him to not interfere. Although reluctant, he backed down and listened in silence to Chaerin successfully persuade his wife to attend René Alejandro's birthday party.

"We'll just show our faces and leave," Jennie replied with a sigh. She closed her eyes and enjoyed her husband's gentle ministrations. Then she opened them again and looked at him. "Ever since the Christmas party, René Alejandro has been accompanying Chaerin whenever she visits us at home. He also brings his own gifts for the kids separate from Chaerin. The way he acts is really as if he considers us as his family."

"Your older brother hates him," he commented.

She had to agree. Whenever Jiyong and René Alejandro encountered each other by chance, they would look like they would start brawling. Fortunately, there was Jisoo who would always stop Jiyong.

As for Jennie, she was actually quite curious to watch an actual physical fight between her older brother and the Spaniard.
