Lisa looked at her sideways. Jennie felt sad as she recalled how he fell into her arms with his face covered in blood in her past life.

She disregarded her urge to cry and hurriedly picked up the pen to sign the document.

Jennie held the two red booklets tightly in her hands as they walked out.

Seulgi rubbed his eyes and pinched his thigh as though he were dreaming when he witnessed the sight.

He was genuinely not dreaming! His thighs had even become bruised from all the pinching.

Lisa sat upright in the car. Even though the coldness on his face had dissipated, an imposing aura continued radiating from him.

He was happy to accept Jennie's unexpected change in attitude, but he was afraid that this was just the calm before the storm.

Jennie was keenly aware of the lies and empty promises she made all these years so that she could run from him. Even with the marriage license, he was worried that she was not in it wholeheartedly.

Lisa was deep in thought when he suddenly felt a cool sensation in his hand. He lowered his eyes to see the red booklets.

"Lisa, why don't you keep this?" Jennie sounded relaxed as she smiled candidly. "You can keep the marriage license. I will stay in Repulse Bay Villa from now on."

His long fingers instantly froze as he held the marriage license so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He looked fixedly at her face.

Jennie held his hand up somewhat sadly. "Nancy said I wanted to run, but it's not true. From now on, you can only believe what I say."

"Jennie." Lisa's voice sounded deep and husky as he held her soft hands. However, he continued frowning and seemed as though he was trying to figure out the veracity of her words.

Jennie said softly, "I used to be blind and couldn't tell humans and animals apart. It stops now. Please don't believe anything you hear unless it comes from me, especially Nancy."

"Okay." Lisa's Adam's apple moved as he promised deeply.

"Why can she enter Repulse Bay Villa as she wishes? Why can she get in touch with you?" asked Jennie.

Lisa replied, "I don't know either."

Jennie instantly realized that Nancy could have such access because of her and not Lisa.

Nancy went around pretending to be her best friend. Would anyone deny her entry into Repulse Bay Villa? Would it dawn on Lisa that anything could be amiss with what Nancy said? It was all her fault.

Jennie saw Lisa looking worried after she gathered her thoughts. She felt bad, so she turned to kiss the corner of his lips with her mask on.

She saw the darkness in his eyes disappear and get replaced by a dazzling light.

At Repulse Bay Villa.

Everyone could sense something different about the mood Lisa was in. He was unusually warm, and his previously stern expression had lifted.

A servant was distracted by the change in Lisa and accidentally spilled some water. He was so terrified that he turned pale and felt that he was dead meat. However, Lisa waved his hand and let him leave.

It was an unprecedented miracle!

Seulgi was sitting in the front passenger seat on the way back and did not keep an eye on Jennie, so he missed the sight of Jennie kissing Lisa. Hence, he did not know why there was such a huge change in Lisa's mood.

Lisa clearly seemed unperturbed when they left the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Nevertheless, he hoped that Jennie would stick to her word this time!
