A Lifetime Of Care

Chapter 14

Jungkook noticed her gaze, and his eyes flashed.

The young couple waited for the parents’ speeches. Mama Jeon shifted slightly in her seat, her face composed. “Lisa, you are an intelligent and reasonable little girl who is a school teacher. We certainly believe that you will conduct yourself appropriately. But, our family’s background is special. You should also understand this. We recognize that you both are a happy little couple but, if by chance..." 

His mom also saw the lessons of the past, particularly the issues stemming from the eldest son’s Yoongi’s own marriage.

"Actually, this practice is also very popular among young people. By signing a prenuptial agreement, everything will be solved."

Lisa heard this and finally understood. Personally, she also had no arguments against this practice.

However, she had never coveted Jungkook's properties. It was not because she was looking at money like it was dirt. Rather, in her case, just being able to marry Jungkook was already the best thing.

She was too lazy to spend brain cells to calculate the property of others. Not to mention the usual cost of providing for the family, she was even able to have three meals a day from a chef.

Regarding other expenses...she really had not talked about it with Jungkook.

Hearing his mother’s words, Jungkook  deeply frowned. When he placed his teacup on the table, it made a crisp sound that echoed loudly in the suddenly quiet space. This caused his father to look over at him.

"Mother and father, there’s no need."

His father's brows furrowed slightly and his eyes narrowed as he said, "Don’t always be so willful. Now that the company is being handed over to you, you should mature a little bit. Your young couple’s feelings are now good, but you have to take others into consideration.”

"I never think that our marriage relationship can be 100% harmonious." Jungkook had always been blunt, and he was very clear about his relationship with Lisa. "But I believe that no matter what happens, I can find a negotiation method. Moreover, I will not be like big brother and do such an embarrassing thing.”

Then, he raised his eyebrows and laughed at himself. "If I disappoint her and fail to be faithful, I should pay for it.”

Jungkook did not look at Lisa as he said this, but his eyes had a bright, smiling expression. "If it is Lisa who wants to leave me, then I also believe in her ability to leave smoothly, without any hard feelings.”

His words were unmistakable, making his mother feel that the topic may be difficult to carry out.

Father Jeon was dissatisfied with his son's resistance. "You can speak according to your temper, but do you have to ability to carry it out?,

Sure enough, Jungkook said that he did not want to continue this topic, waved his hand dismissively and then opened his mouth to add, "Why can’t you believe in my choice?"

Lisa was surprised by him, and warmth flooded her chest. She didn’t think that Jungkook’s trust for her would be so deep. Perhaps, he was always this insightful when it came to people. Nevertheless, she felt that there must also be other reasons. Thinking this, she turned her head to look at him, feeling as if her heart was scalding.

Mama Jeon helplessly looked at her husband. She couldn’t reprimand her son in front of her daughter-in-law. Therefore, she sent a message with her eyes, telling him to stop. Then, she looked affectionately at Lisa, smiling as if nothing had happened. But, in her heart, she had other plans.
