Perfect Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 15

"I'll drive today."

Choi Myung and Jennie were both surprised to hear Lisa say that.

The dinner had finally ended. It felt like everyone was walking on thin ice. Lisa didn't have many words to say as always. However, unlike this morning, Lisa was tense. Jennie also felt that this all had to do with the money that had vanished.

After the meal was over, the uncle and aunt nagged Lisa for an answer, but they never got one. Lisa kept his mouth shut and merely sipped his tea.

And as they were about to go back home, Lisa said that he would take Jennie back himself.

"I... understand."

Choi Myung stepped back and replied. Lisa opened the passenger side door and looked at Jennie. She realized that this was the first time they'd be alone in a car together.

The sedan departed with a vroom. It was tense inside the car and a heavy silence hung in the air. Jennie's fingers fidgeted with her purse. The golden threads were curling its design all over surface of the bag.

She thought about the items inside her bag, and her head felt foggy.

The dark night fell over the road, and everything was silent. The car was not headed in the direction of their house, but Jennie didn't ask where they were going.

How long had they been on the road? As they were about to reach the Han River, Lisa finally spoke.

"About your private life, Song Mino... he is quite an interesting person."

At his words, Jennie froze up. Her hand clenched her purse.

"I only knew him as President Kim's driver's son. That's what was in the preliminary report."

The streetlamps passed by in a whir.

"But as I looked into it a bit further, I found out that he isn't the driver's biological son."

Jennie didn't move and continued to look at the taillights of the car in front of them. The lights looked like the eyes of a demon looking back at her and filled her with fear. They were like his unblinking eyes that were currently staring at her.

Mom...

Jennie called out for her mother, but the person that would respond to the call had already passed away long ago.

"It seems that Song Mino was born in the United States. I never knew he had dual citizenship. His other name is Jordan K., right? That's the name on his US papers..."

Jennie now forgot how to breathe. Jordan K.. That was correct. It was Mino-oppa's real name. He was born in the state of Minnesota, and thanks to birthright citizenship, he was automatically a citizen of the United States. Under the name of Jordan K..

When he was twelve years old, he came to Korea and became driver Woo Kyung-ahjussi's son and changed his name to Song Mino.

"That name was on the list of directors for the first paper company the Dubai money was transferred to. Jordan K.. I never imagined that this person could be Song Mino. We just came across it as we were going through all the evidence. We found documents stating that Jordan had become orphaned and was taken to Korea to be adopted. Adopted by Song Woo Kyung, President Kim's driver."

The car stopped. They had arrived at the Han River. Underneath the black sky, Jennie could see the specks of light twinkling from the buildings. They looked like falling stars.

"How much?"

Even as Lisa glared at her with his fierce eyes, Jennie didn't move and continued to look at the lights.
