Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband (Jenlisa) Season 1

Chapter 26

The corners of Jennie’s lips raised in a sweet smile. “Really?”

Seeing the uncertainty in her eyes, Lisa nodded seriously.

She chuckled. “Yes, I still have you. And…”

There was also Leo.

She didn’t want her son to feel unwanted in his family like she did, so she thought it was best to know Lisa’s living condition before introducing the two of them to each other.

With a spark in her eyes, she looked at him and smiled, “It’s really good to have you.”

Lisa couldn’t help thinking about that summer afternoon five years ago when she was lying in his arms like this. She only seemed so vulnerable when she was not sober.

Over the past five years, he missed her so bad that he would often catch himself thinking about her face. He felt that she was deeply carved in his heart.

“Jennie, tell me, why did you leave all those years ago?”

“Well… To be honest…” A trace of sadness flashed through her eyes as she spoke, “I thought you were too good to be with someone like me.”

Holding her in his arms, he knew that she was drunk, yet he still felt touched by her words.

“Will you leave me again?” As he asked this, a sense of fear rose in his heart.

He wasn’t quite sure if he wanted to hear her answer.

With her head resting on his shoulder, Jennie pondered whether she would be leaving again or not. Then it hit her that her departure was inevitable. After all, she was terminally ill.

So, she would leave.

Lisa waited for a long time, but she didn’t say anything. Intertwining their fingers tightly, he begged her, “Don’t leave me, Jennie.”

His deep voice fell into her ears and touched her heart.

“I won’t leave.” She gave in.

She decided to follow his heart’s desire since she didn’t have the courage to deny him anything.

“Don’t leave me.”

“I won’t.”

Lowering his head, he kissed her lips.

As he inhaled the strong scent of alcohol on her breath, he did his best to restrain himself from going further.

The girl was barely conscious now.

If he did anything to her in that state, he would be just taking advantage of her.

Therefore, he calmed himself down.

The lowest level of desire could be fulfilled through indulgence.

But the highest could be fulfilled only if he restrained himself at the moment.

He could wait.

By the time Jennie woke up, she was surprised to find herself in bed until her mind gradually became clear.

Sitting up in shock, she remembered that it was Lisa who had taken her home and helped her change into comfortable pajamas.

She looked down and made sure she was indeed in her nightwear. Except for that, nothing bad seemed to have happened.

Jennie patted on her chest. It had been a long time since she last had anything alcoholic. Although she only had a little to drink, she did it because she was really in a bad mood. She never expected that she would get drunk so easily.
