The CEO's Beloved Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 34

That evening, Lisa was held back by problems with the production team and returned home late. She thought Jennie would be in her bedroom or study and didn't expect to see her as soon as she stepped through the door.

Jennie was reading documents in the living room. When she saw her enter, her eyes immediately lit up, almost making her believe that she had been waiting for her.

"Have you eaten? There are leftovers in the kitchen," she asked before he could say anything. Dinner had been prepared by Wang-jie. Since it didn't taste too bad, Jennie had deliberately kept some leftovers for Lisa.

This was something she'd decided to do after seeing that she had been returning home later these days, and even so, she had to cook for herself.

Therefore, this time she had decided to be considerate and told Wang-jie to prepare an extra serving.

"Okay, I'll go get it."

Without bothering to change out of his work clothes first, she headed directly into the kitchen. she really was quite hungry. Jennie stared at his back as he walked. She'd planned to make coffee for her tonight, but seeing how utterly exhausted Lisa was, she decided to do it tomorrow instead.

For now, it would be better to let her have a good night's rest.

After taking the food out of the warmer, she sat down alone at the dining table and started to eat. Jennie watched her from her seat in the living room, and only when she saw that she was almost done did she go over to her and say, "Rest early, don't stay up too late."

Although her tone was icy cold, it did not impede the meaning of her words. She was concerned for her. Lisa couldn't misunderstand even if he wanted to.

"Mhm, I will," he said, his lips stretching into an obvious smile. she wasn't certain, but he felt like his relationship with Jennie had changed.

That day she said to push back the divorce was the beginning, it seemed. At first, it wasn't obvious and only made her feel like she was acting strange, but after so Many more changes, especially when they shared a bed, she started to suspect something.

It seems like Jennie doesn't hate me anymore!

Based on his understanding of her, he knew that she was someone who would never allow herself to hold the short end of the stick. If she liked someone, then she liked someone. If she disliked someone, then she disliked someone.

She would not go out of her way to care for someone she disliked. Let alone eating together and sharing a bed, she wouldn't even allow Lisa to appear in front of her so often.

Therefore, she was quite certain that she no longer hated her. In fact, she felt like her impression of her was slowly changing, as she was caring about her and getting along with her. There was even a trace of friendship present in their interactions.

Of course, this made her extremely happy and excited, but at the same time, seeds of greed were beginning to sprout.

Since she could wipe away her dislike for her and advance towards friendship, then could he also hope that one day, through his hard work and perseverance, she would be able to make her accept his feelings?

she suddenly felt the urge to confess to her, but he held herself back. The time was not right. Lisa had to be patient. He had to bring their relationship closer first, and then she would confess with confidence.

Lisa was an exceptionally patient Woman, especially when it came to the Woman she liked. With Jennie, she had fallen in love at first sight, and she was set on her for the rest of his life. To her, waiting longer was not a problem.

.....

The next morning, Lisa was making breakfast in the kitchen. Jennie walked in, surprising her. The kitchen was a place she usually stayed out of. Then, she saw her do something even more surprising—she started to make coffee!

"Jennie, I'll make the coffee. You should go rest," Lisa prompted. As far as she knew, she didn't know how to make coffee.

"Are you looking down at me?" She shot her a glance as her hands moved about. Although she was unused to doing it without the System helping her, she could manage.

"Of course not, I just don't want to trouble you," she smiled, relishing in a new discovery: Jennie's temper was just like a child. Lisa wouldn't look down on her for something so trivial. He was just worried because she had never seen her make coffee before, though looking at her fluid movements now, she clearly knew what she was doing.

Relaxing, she turned back to cooking breakfast. Occasionally, she would glance over at her.

The two stood together in the kitchen, busy with their own tasks. Although it was quiet, the atmosphere was serene. Seeing Jennie so engrossed in preparing coffee, Lisa's heart warmed with gratification.

After breakfast was all set, she completed the meal by carrying out two cups of coffee. She placed one cup in front of herself, and one cup in front of her. The delightful aroma of fresh coffee pleased her quite a bit, while Lisa felt very flattered.

"Thank you!" Lisa thanked her excitedly. After all, she was holding a cup of coffee from Jennie in his hands. She'd made it herself. Just thinking about it moved her, and he was almost unwilling to drink something so precious.

"You're welcome. Try it." She stared at her, somewhat anticipative. This was her first time letting someone taste her craft.

Lisa's gaze softened. Although she actually couldn't bear to drink it, her expectant gaze prompted her to raise the cup and take a sip. she did so in a very serious manner, and as the first sip crept over his taste buds and down his throat, his eyes filled with contentment.

The cup of coffee far surpassed his expectation. Clearly, Jennie had put great effort into it.

"It's delicious, really good," he praised generously, right before the System sounded.
