She touched her chest and pressed it hard but the hurt in there did not decrease. It was suffocating her.

Jennie turned to look at Lisa's cold profile. He must know that she was looking at him but he made no attempt to look back, there was only the hard outline of his jaw.

Jennie opened her mouth but there was a sudden pain in her chest, which stopped her from voicing out. She had never felt so terrible before, and all she faced was Lisa's cold attitude toward her.

She turned her gaze away in depression and started the engine without saying a word. As she stepped on the gas pedal, she realized a problem, "Urm... Louis's school is..."

Jennie had never felt so nervous before, even when she was taking her exams, including result announcements, high school admissions results and even finding a job after graduation. She had never felt such apprehension as this when Lisa was ignoring her.

Although, Lisa would not be ignoring her over this, would he?

She had never yearned so much to hear Lisa's voice, to hear him talk to her.

Lisa still did not look at her but replied coldly, "Seoul International Academy."

Jennie almost laughed out in delight because Lisa talked to her. She felt much more relieved as she hurriedly drove towards Seoul International Academy.

However, Lisa never spoke another word to her after they got on the road. For the first time, Jennie boldly tried to find a few topics of conversation, but she could not get Lisa to react to her. After a while, Jennie gave up trying to get Lisa to say something.

The situation continued until she stopped the car at the parking lot of Seoul International Academy and the two of them got out of the car and walked towards the school.

Jennie gave a dry laugh after entering the school and tried again, "I didn't expect Louis to already be in elementary school. I thought he was still in kindergarten when I first saw him."

Lisa looked at her coolly and then turned his gaze away as he walked towards the front. Suddenly, someone pulled at the corner of his suit. While the pull was not strong enough to stop him from going forward, it was enough to make him feel a little resistance.

Lisa turned back and saw both of Jennie's hands holding on to the corner of his suit. She lowered her head like a child who knew she had done something wrong. She kept blinking her eyes nervously, her long eyelashes flahang as they opened and closed. Lisa sighed helplessly at her look of grievance as she tried to make up with him. It was a sigh so quiet that the nervous Jennie was unable to catch.

Jennie puckered her lips as she took a breath and said, "I'm sorry."

Lisa lowered his eyes and did not say anything. Jennie took a careful look at him. It was still difficult to figure out what he was thinking through his expression. She decided to bite the bullet and said, "My words just now weren't carefully thought out. I had no intention to insult you. I just felt like the gap between us is just too big and I've never thought about this. I've never actually thought about being with someone who is rich and has a high social level. I just want to be with someone whom I have an affinity with, to love and to hold, and to live an ordinary but happy life together, sprinkled with some arguments in between."

"I've never thought of you as a philanderer. I am aware that you are a very responsible person. Come to think of it, I'm the one who isn't such a good person. It could be because of my lack of self-esteem that I feel I could never match up to you. Besides that, I'm also really scared about the situations I may have to face if we're together. Our family backgrounds are just too different. I don't understand your family's requirement for a daughter-in-law. Would they be able to like someone such as me, who has nothing? As for the Kim family, I know what they would think about it. They wouldn't want me to do better than them. If they can't stop me, then they would hope to make use of you through me. If we were together, I can't allow this impure relationship of benefits to come between us. Which is why I don't have the courage to face the pressure coming from our families."
