Four Ways to get a wife - LK Adaptation

Chapter 4.3

"Being born as a child out of wedlock is a mistake. That's why they act like that."

"Mistake? Who told you that?"

Lisa, who had been hesitant, now asked sharply while looking at Jungkook. Such remarks were not only unfair, but also very cruel and uncivilized. Who can control someone's birth in this world? Can anyone choose their own parents?

"No one."

Jungkook replied lightly while looking at the fiery Lisa. He had indeed heard people whispering about him several times when he was a child. However, when he was determined as one of the potential successors of Goryo Group, the treatment of the people around him instantly changed. Even though people hated and scorned him, no one dared to openly say such things to him.

"It seemed like they were talking about me behind my back, but I didn't care. I don't want to bother with cowards like that."

"Really?"

Lisa looked at him with a meaningful gaze. Jungkook, who had been speechless at the woman's innocent and honest gaze, came out of his reverie and turned his face away.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't like hearing the term 'orphan' either. Neither behind nor in front of me."

Lisa said in a low voice. The term seemed to describe the horrible life story of a child who grew up without her parents. She also didn't like hearing remarks that said 'that's how she acts, it must be because she doesn't have parents'.

The sad sighs and pitying looks from others also bring hurt to Lisa and her younger siblings. Therefore, she has to be a stronger sister to his younger siblings. Now, she can't help but face this man's family's treatment which might be even harsher than that.

She knows exactly how someone who always gets rejected feels.

She also knew how much loneliness one must deal with alone in that situation.

She also knew how sharp the stares of others could be.

For this time, Jungkook couldn't meet Lisa's eyes that looked at him seriously.

They then arrive at a famous hotel whose name Lisa has never heard before. As soon as they got out of the car, Jungkook put his hand around Lisa's waist which surprised her.

"Hurry up and hold my hand."

"Never mind, I can walk by myself."

However, seeing Jungkook's face that ignored her opinion, Lisa gave in again and complied. It's useless to argue with this person. Lisa, who was staring at Jungkook's hand with resentment, was finally forced to take Jungkook's arm. Instantly, the warmth flowing from Jungkook's body made her blood flow faster. The screen covering the stage slowly began to rise.

"What should I do next?"

"Nothing."

Lisa whispered softly in an anxious tone while Jungkook still replied coldly.

For a moment Lisa was annoyed by his cold treatment. However, she could sense from the tip of her hand that Jungkook was also feeling anxious. Lisa realized that his coldness wasn't real. She tried to be patient and endure the situation.

Of course it's hard for him to be relaxed right now, in a situation where he has to let go of the woman he loves to marry someone else.

However, this situation is not an easy one for Lisa either. After being threatened and asked for a favor, now she has to pretend to be familiar with a man who is actually nobody to her. Moreover, she also has to meet the woman this man loves and probably his family as well.
