MR. Jeon, The Heart Bandit | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 5

Jisoo had found the mother and Son a house that was a hundred-and-fifty square feet.

The area was just right with living room, two bedrooms, one kitchen, and a balcony.

The decorations were simple, and the environment acceptable.

"What do you think?" Jisoo looked upon her work with considerable satisfaction.

Lisa nodded and looked down at her son, "How do you find it, Soobin? Do you like it?"

Soobin was pouting, with a tinge of loneliness in his eyes, "Mommy...."

"What is it? Do you feel unwell?" Lisa crouched in panic, her heart tightening.

"Um, no" The child sneaked into her embrace: his voice was melancholic. "Mommy, baby wants daddy...."

The little one had been asking for a father since their return to River Town.

Even if he was clever and a genius, he still lacked fatherly love.

"Good boy. Aren't you sleepy? Mommy will take you to bed, and we'll eat when you wake up. Alright?"

Lisa valued her child more than her own life she certainly kept her temper in check when she was with him.

In return, Soobin rubbed his eyes. "Will Daddy be there when I wake up?"

"Yeah" Lisa forced a smile.

"Alright....then I'm going to sleep" The toddler danced happily.

Picking him up, Lisa took him into a bedroom and put him to sleep, before gently closing the door.

"Lili, Soobin really wants a daddy. Do give him one" Jisoo felt the pain even as she watched.

Lisa lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "No man would want me"

Four years ago, she herself had revealed that she had bedded some old man.

Who would want her with maidenhood defiled? Even she herself could not get it over her conscience.

As she went into the kitchen and made herself busy, Jisoo got herself a yogurt.

"You're too hard on yourself" Her friend rebuked as she planed herself on the couch and handily switched on the TV, with a news anchor reading the local business news.

"It's understood that the heirs of the Jeon family and Lee group would be formally announcing their engagement next Tuesday, a union that is set to be one of the most phenomenal events this year. Lee Tzuyu, heiress of Lee group is wildly popular following her recent introduction to the entertainment industry, while her fiance, Jeon Jungkook often keeps a low-profile despite holding office as president of KBS International...."

Before the new anchor could finish, Jisoo had switched off the TV in irritation.

"Damn it, that idiot Tzuyu is everywhere!" She could not hold back a curse. "Making headlines just for a silly wedding? Who does she think she is?"

Lisa smiled feebly as she cut some vegetables. "She is a star, and now she's marrying into money it wouldn't be her if she didn't make a fuss about it"

Still, she simply did not expect that Tzuyu would be not be marrying Kim Mingyu.

Were they not so utterly close-knitted back then?

"Pffff!" Jisoo cursed again. "New and wildly popular? Would she even have made a name of herself if she didn't hook up with the Jeon family? And that what his name, Jeon Jungkook? He must be blind to marry a white lotus. We'll watch him cry when all his money gets taken away?"

Lisa was having a stomach ache from laughing as she put a plate of cut fruits in front of her friend. "Have some and relax. Why are you choking yourself over it? It's her problem who she married....but who's this Jeon Jungkook? Why haven't I heard about him before?"

"I'm not sure, but rumor has it that he's a formidable one in the Jeon family although he stays out of the limelight. Not even the media knows what he looks like" Jisoo clicked her tongue. "Must be some old fart ugly and cannot be seen in public"

Lisa nodded in agreement and stuffed a piece of fruit into her mouth.

"Wait, didn't the news say that he is the president of KBS?" she mumbled. "KBS did just acquire Min group.....I just hope that he wouldn't be the new president too"

She could cry if that proved to be the case.
