The Wife Is A Superstar 7

Chapter 1356 - Indelible Mark on the Psyche

While Jiyong was immersed in his own thoughts about how to properly make up with his sister, he heard his wife speak.

"Repeat that," he said. "I didn't catch what you said."

Jisoo pouted. Her face was red all the way to her neck.

"What is it?" he asked again.

She avoided his gaze. "I asked...if you remember on the day you woke up from coma, just before you fell asleep...I want to know if I heard you correctly...."

He waited until she finished meandering around her main question. By this point of their relationship, he was already used to her long-winded ways of speaking due to her innate shyness. Although this way of speaking always made him impatient especially when it came to his subordinates, he was willing to tolerate it when it was his wife doing it.

"I think that I heard you say...that y-you, uhm...that you l-love me," she stammered and turned even redder.

"Huh?" He stared at her, feeling dumbfounded.

What was she talking about? Did he say that? How come he couldn't remember?

She peeked at him and saw his bewilderment. Her expression crumpled. "I guess...I heard you incorrectly. I might have really been hallucinating that time." She smiled but it was so bitter that her lips trembled. "F-forget it."

Embarrassment filled her. She stood up and was about to leave but Jiyong grabbed her hand.

"Tell me what happened," he said.

She shook her head.

"Come on, Jisoo," he urged in a much gentler tone.

After a few moments of hesitation, she sat back down and told him everything that she remembered.

"It was just a whisper but I think I heard you say that...you l-love me, too."

"Oh."

Jisoo was disappointed at his reaction. She was about to cry but forced herself to suck it up. This was already expected. She had already prepared herself for the long haul when it came to gaining her husband's love.

Once again, she stood up and tried to smile at him, pretending that everything was fine. "I'll go check on our twins first. Rest here and focus on recuperating. I'll be back later to accompany you again."

He grabbed her again for a quick kiss before letting her go. When she was gone, his expression turned serious.

"Luka."

It took a full minute before the black cat AI responded to his call. "Luka is here, Uncle."

He was frowning at Luka's tardiness. "What took you so long, kid?"

"Luka actually didn't want to come because Uncle still hasn't apologized to Mother for saying all those mean things. But since I'm still technically your hired freelancer, Luka is contract-bound to respond to Uncle's call."

Jiyong clicked his tongue. "Your mother will always be my sister. That's never going to change no matter how many lifetimes we both live. I'll resolve my issues with her in our own time."

Luka didn't answer. Jiyong knew that the little devil must be holding a grudge against him. It was only Luka's employment contract with him that was forcing the kid to at least show up when he called.

He sighed but didn't bother to give any additional explanations. Besides, he had a more urgent matter that he want to confirm first.

"Kid, do you have a recording of what transpired in this room when I woke up from coma?"
