"Where are we going?" Jennie asked after a while on the road.

"We're going to eat first, is that okay with you?" Lisa had taken great pains to plan out the date, and a meal was that she had decided to start it off with. After all, in his eyes, Jennie was a complete foodie.

As expected, her eyes lit up at the mention of food, but then she hesitated.

"I prefer your cooking," she said seriously.

As the only daughter of the Kim family, what kind of delicacies hadn't she tasted? But her favorite dishes were the ones cooked by Lisa. Maybe it was because her rebirth had changed her tastes, or maybe she was just a really good cook, but every time she ate his food, she would feel like the serving was too small. As a matter of fact, she felt that she had gained some weight recently.

Her words filled Lisa's smile with warmth and satisfaction.

"Don't worry, you'll know when we get there," she said happily, even more convinced that Bambam was unreliable. Clearly, she, Lisa, was the most knowledgeable about what Jennie liked and disliked. So, she decided to stop relying on other people for advice.

The two chatted as she drove, and soon, they arrived at their destination: a very well-known seaside restaurant that offered a variety of seafood. The place was unique in that the cooking was completely manual; as in, the customers could cook for themselves.

When Jennie and Lisa entered, they saw that they weren't the first ones to arrive.

Lisa had to put on a hat that covered up most of his face. Fortunately, the restaurant was spacious and sectioned off into a number of different areas, and the area that Lisa had reserved was the most inconspicuous one. As long as they could finish getting all the food and drinks, they wanted in one go, no one would notice them.

The atmosphere was good, and they wouldn't attract the attention of others. Of course, the most important thing was that they could do the cooking themselves. That was why Lisa chose this restaurant.

Jennie was visibly satisfied with the arrangement. As she walked around, enthusiastically picking out the things she wanted to eat, Lisa followed behind her and helped carry the plates. The entire time, Lisa wore a doting expression on her face.

she handled all of the other preparations while Jennie sat there, watching the woman busy about. The fact that she was doing these things for her warmed her heart and filled her with a sense of pride.

Look, she had chosen such an excellent woman to be her partner. No wonder Sunmi wanted her so desperately!

What a shame, Jennie thought, that her previous self-had failed to cherish her. In this life, however, she definitely wasn't going to let her go. This man belonged to her, and no one was allowed to take her away.

When she thought of Sunmi, Jennie was reminded of the entire Lee family. Recently, they had been feeling rather good about themselves. Their cooperation with Old Master Manoban was unsuccessful, but the fact that they were now acquainted with the Manoban family gave the Lee family a fresh burst of arrogance.

However, this kind of arrogance wouldn't last long. Although all of the dirt Jennie and Lisa had dug up on the Lee family wasn't enough to crush them, but it was more than enough to get rid of one or two of the members. So, when the time came, who would the Lee family push out to be the scapegoat?

The Lee family often violated the law, but hardly any of the evidence pointed to a specific member. Therefore, as long as they push out a scapegoat, that one person would be charged guilty while the others would be safe. Temporarily, at least.

Of course, Jennie didn't care about that. After all, her intention was to slowly destroy the Lee family.

When she thought about the Lee family, her expression turned cold, and Lisa noticed. she shot her a questioning look.

"The Lee family," she said in response. That brought a frown to his face. Evidently, she was also very tired of the Lee family.

"Tomorrow is the class reunion. Sunmi will most likely be there, and she'll try to stir up trouble." He hadn't thought much of Sunmi before, but ever since she found out that Jennie hated her and the Lee family started to cause trouble for her, she would feel disgusted at even the mention of her name.

"She has a death wish," Jennie said bluntly.

Last time, her enemies had hidden themselves well, and a moment of carelessness on her part had led to her demise. However, this time her enemies were out in the open, which meant she could kill them whenever she wanted.

Her words were full of murderous intent and aggression, but for some reason, Lisa found that very attractive. In his eyes, she was practically glowing.

It must be mentioned that her confident demeanor was exactly why she fell in love with her. It was as though she stood at the top of the world, so high up that everyone else could only submit to her.

Lisa couldn't help but reach out, gently grasp her delicate white fingers in his hand, and piously feather a kiss on her skin. She realized what she had done the instant she did it, but it was already too late.

After the kiss, she immediately retreated. His heart threatened to jump out of his chest, and when she looked at her, his eyes were filled with nervousness, worry, and hopefulness.

With their current relationship, could she assume that she would allow her to act on his desires and get closer to her, if even just a tiny bit? Bearing his years of unrequited love, his reverence, and all of his anticipation, he hoped that she wouldn't reject his kiss.

"Was that okay?" she whispered.

Jennie was somewhat surprised, but she didn't feel the least bit disgusted. She simply raised an eyebrow, looked into his eyes, and with a slightly arrogant tone of voice, she said: "Of course."

Since she had decided to stay with this woman and agreed to let her into her world, give her her protection, and share her emotions with her, he naturally had all the rights to love her, care for her, and even touch her.

Meanwhile, Lisa was feeling absolutely ecstatic. The beating of his heart was no longer due to nervousness, but to happiness. His hopes had not been let down.

Jennie, if you answer like this, does that mean I can look forward to more, and that maybe, we can truly have a happy future together?
