Mr Manoban's Daring Wife [Jenlisa]

Chapter 32: What Did You Do

Lisa stood at the end of the hallway, slightly dumbfounded that he was left in the dust. Did she just abandon him? His brows furrowed together and he walked down the hallway to lean on the wall and wait for her.

Running a hand through his hair, he couldn't believe he was waiting outside of the bathroom for a woman. He felt like a giddy high school boy waiting for his crush to give her his handkerchief.

The minute Jennie walked into the bathroom; she undid her hair. She sighed to herself when her raven locks tumbled down her back, few droplets of wine falling from it. She winced at the heavy stench of alcohol that reeked from her body.

Jennie expected her night to brim with backstabbing and gossip left and right, but she didn't expect it to turn sour in ten minutes.

"Whatever, at least I gave Jin Ah her gift." She muttered as she began to clean her face and hair. The water and soap had left her hair in an awkward texture, but at least the smell was gone. The water had washed off her makeup, leaving her face bare of any products.

Jennie cringed at the eye bags underneath her eyes. From all the endless nights of tossing and turning, she rarely had a good night of sleep. That's why she usually woke up in the afternoon — she only fell asleep after lying in bed for at least a good few hour.

Just when she was about to step out of the bathroom, Krystal walked in. She seemed occupied with wiping the tears from her eyes, sniffling to herself as she held her dress to walk easier.

Jennie eyed the distraught woman in front of her. The two were alone in the enormous bathroom that was twice the size of a moderate bedroom.

She remembered the last time they were ever alone together. It was the same night that Jennie confronted Krystal with the discovery of her real birth parents. Her father didn't leave her. As a matter of fact, he was desperately trying to contact Krystal but the woman refused to meet her birth-father.

And when Krystal found out Jennie knew the truth, she immediately sought Kai's help. One thing leads to another, and soon, Jennie was stripped and thrown out of his house.

When Krystal lifted her head and took a few steps back. Her mouth was parted in shock, as if not believing she was alone with Jennie.

Jennie crossed her arms and raised a brow. Why was she pretending to be surprised to see her? She knew Krystal wasn't deaf nor did she have any hearing problems. Lisa announced he was going to take her to the bathroom, so Krystal should've known she was already inside.

"H-hello." Krystal timidly greeted her, her head slightly tucked to portray a demure and wholesome woman.

Jennie noticed the tears and quivering lips. She already knew what happened.

As always, Krystal couldn't handle the insults from her peers after Lisa pointed out how distasteful her dress was. The people probably tore her apart and once again, the female lead couldn't handle the criticism of her peers.

Krystal was always portrayed to be a gentle, sweet, and simply too innocuous woman. She couldn't handle the harsh and backstabbing upper society.

She sniffled. "I'm sorry to have worn the same dress as you—"

"It's not your fault." Jennie said with a frown. Why was this woman apologizing? Her dress was publicly announced on national television, shouldn't Jennie be the one to apologize?

"Oh, I-I guess you're right." Krystal nervously babbled. "Then I apologize for Kai's behavior. You know, he's usually not bad-tempered and mean—"

"Save it." Jennie sighed, not wanting to hear the excuses. Of course, she would know he was usually not bad tempered, Kai only showed his nice side to her. Jennie got the harsher end of the stick.
