The CEO's Beloved Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 49

Byul was surprised when she got Lisa's call, and when Lisa told her she would be attending with his wife, Byul was even more surprised. she immediately gave Lisa the time and location of the class reunion.

The reunion would take place in one week. Because it was a large-scale reunion with over a hundred people attending, the venue was set in the banquet hall of a hotel. The hotel belonged to the family of an attendee and some of the other richer attendees helped cover the costs.

That evening, by the time Lisa rushed home, Jennie had already eaten and was viewing flowers in the greenhouse. she ignored the fact that she hadn't had dinner and went to find her in the greenhouse.

Jennie was fond of plants, mainly because they were stationary and less troublesome than animals. Occasionally, she would visit the greenhouse to look at the flowers. Some were still blooming and others were left with only green leaves, but the place was always brimming with vitality. It was a nice place to go to relax.

Jennie was sitting in a rattan chair, enjoying a cup of grapefruit tea as she read a newspaper and admired the flowers at the same time. She appeared both comfortable and casual. Lisa slowed his steps, as if afraid she would disturb the tranquility of her visage.

The usual her was very beautiful, but in an imposing, lofty, and fierce way that gave off a sense of distance.

The current her was beautiful in a gentle way, captivating her, warming his heart, and making her want to approach and silently accompany her.

Reluctant to disturb the beauty and tranquility of the scene, she stopped walking and just stood there, staring at her.

Although Jennie was still holding the newspaper in her hands, she had noticed the Woman the second she arrived. When she heard her approach, she'd planned to react a little, but she stopped before she could. That made her wonder, did she somehow not notice her?

After a moment, when she saw that he was still motionless, she finally lifted her head, a slightly unhappy look on her face, and asked her, "What are you standing there like an idiot for? Admiring the flowers?"

"Admiring you," she responded as she walked over, a deep expression in his eyes. Jennie blinked, and her eyes flashed briefly with something that seemed like... embarrassment?

So, this Woman was starting to become more straightforward, huh? Looks like she would have to increase her resistance.

Jennie refused to admit that she had been embarrassed just now!

She stood up, raised her head a bit, and asked confidently, "Do I look good?"

Lisa wanted to smile. This proud and self-confident side of hers made her so beautiful that she couldn't move his eyes away.

"You don't even have to ask," because the answer would always be "yes."

Evidently satisfied with his response, a faint smile appeared in her eyes. Moving on, she asked her, "Has that matter been settled yet? What time? I'll let Rosé free up her schedule a bit."

After filling her in on the time and location, she said, "Are you sure you want to go? There will be a lot of people, so it'll be pretty chaotic."

"It's fine."

She just wanted to see Sunmi's face filled with jealousy. Jennie had not seen Sunmi once since her rebirth. It was about time.

Seeing Jennie like this, Lisa could only give in. she planned to protect her if anything went wrong.

When she noticed his fatigue and that she had not changed into his home clothes, she asked, "Have you eaten? Don't tell me you haven't?"

"Not yet, I'm going to go cook something now. What about you? Do you want anything?"

she was thinking about cooking noodles, which would be quick and easy, and perfect for filling up his hungry stomach.

"What will you cook?" Although she'd already had dinner, it hadn't tasted as good as Lisa's cooking. As a result, she had only filled up half of her stomach. Hearing her mention cooking immediately made her hungry again.

"What do you want to eat? Anything I can make at home," she said in a pampering tone. The noodles could wait. Since Jennie was also eating, she naturally had to make the best food for her.

As she deliberated over the question, she inadvertently noticed his exhausted expression again. She didn't know why, but it made her anticipation shift to discomfort.

"I haven't had noodles in a while, so why don't you cook noodles?" Noodles were quick and easy to cook. This Woman should eat and then have a good rest.

"You want noodles too? Then I'll go cook some. What kind of noodles do you want? Is it okay if I make noodles with shredded meat?" The brief change in her expression went unnoticed by her.

Like she'd said, since Jennie was also eating, she had to make the best food for her. Noodles could also be made to taste delicious, she just had to add some more ingredients. She was certain that Jennie would like it.

"Mhm," she nodded. Suddenly, she had a thought: this Woman could probably cook noodles well too.

The two left the greenhouse. Once they were inside the villa, Lisa told her to go take a seat and rest, but she hesitated for a moment and decided to join her in the kitchen instead. Somewhat surprised, she asked, "Why did you come in? Do you want to make coffee? Drinking coffee this late in the day is bad for you."

Lisa couldn't be blamed for his speculation because aside from making coffee, she really didn't know anything else that had to do with the kitchen.

"No, I'm just here to watch." She suddenly wanted to see how she would look while she was cooking.

Then, she sighed for the nth time. This Woman was so outstanding; she was skilled both inside and outside of the kitchen. How did her previous self not notice? She'd wasted so much precious time.

Although her blatant stare made her a bit uncomfortable, she quickly jumped into action, pouring water into a pot and chopping up meat and vegetables. Soon, two fragrant bowls of noodles were ready.

They were moved to the dining room table and complemented by a saucer filled with pickled vegetables. The couple sat down across from each other and dug in.

The first one to taste the noodles was Jennie, and as she'd expected, the noodles were delicious. She looked up, very satisfied, to see the Woman putting chili sauce into his noodles.

One spoonful, two spoonfuls, three spoonfuls... she stared thoughtfully at the reddened noodles.

"You like to eat spicy food?"

Immediately, the System notification sounded.

Congratulations on accomplishing the task once!

When Lisa looked up, she noticed that for some reason, Jennie looked extremely happy. Was his love for spicy foods supposed to make her that happy? But she didn't remember anything about her liking spicy food...

"I do. Do you want some too?" she shook the jar of chili sauce in his hand.

"I'll try a bit," she said. Instead of getting the chili sauce from her, she simply pushed her bowl forward. Lisa scooped a spoonful of chili sauce into her noodles and pushed the bowl back to her.

She didn't seem very satisfied with the amount Lisa added, but after glancing at the red noodles, she decided to try it first. Her spice tolerance wasn't very high, after all.

The noodles with chili sauce tasted pretty good, she decided before burying her face in the bowl.

The entire time, Lisa had been observing her.
