Four Ways to get a wife - LK Adaptation

Chapter 13.3

Jungkook has been busy calling Lisa since earlier. Meanwhile, Lisa didn't pick up the phone citing the noisy subway atmosphere.

No, she actually couldn't pick up the phone. She was afraid to hear what Jungkook, who met Shin Hee, would say. She was afraid that her little hope would be shattered. Even though she knew from the beginning that she was just a substitute for Shin Hee, somehow her heart ached.

When she parted ways with Shin Hee and left the place, she saw Jungkook's car parked in front of her. At that moment, Lisa knew why she automatically hid herself from those two people. It was probably because of her pride.

She should have immediately returned to her own position all this time, but for some reason she just stayed in that place. She should have left that place immediately. So, at least she didn't have to see the scene when the man embraced and hugged Shin Hee from the big window.

She regretted not listening to her mother. Now she was the one who got hit for disobeying her family's rules. She shouldn't have bet and played with someone's feelings. She shouldn't have bet on something that she would obviously lose.

"Why didn't you pick up my phone?"

When her ears heard Jungkook's voice, Lisa thought she had heard wrong. But when she lifted her head, he was standing in front of her frowning. He had been waiting for 40 minutes for her.

Jungkook's patience was about to run out and his relief turned into protest. He was so busy asking Lisa all sorts of questions that he didn't even notice the anxiety in Lisa's eyes.

"Why are you here?"

"Can't I?"

Jungkook asked back to Lisa who was surprised to see him. After parting with Shin Hee, he immediately rushed to this place. He was worried because Lisa didn't pick up his phone and decided to wait in front of her house.

But it turned out to be an unpleasant welcome like this. Jungkook's disappointed and sad face suddenly turned serious.

"No, that's not it..."

"Come on, let's go. There's no time."

"Where are we going?"

Lisa asked Jungkook again, who suddenly asked her to leave in a rude manner. However, the man didn't say anything and just pulled Lisa's hand, telling her to get into the car.

"You're not going to tell me where we're going?"

Lisa asked quietly while watching Jungkook's expression. If this man asked her to meet Shin Hee, Lisa wanted to reject the invitation immediately.

"Since the agreement between us is over, I guess we should start again from the beginning."

"Oh, I see. Looks like everything is settled now."

"Yes, it seems."

Jungkook's calm voice seemed to seep like poison into Lisa's heart, but the man must not know it.

When Lisa started all of this, she knew from the beginning that she was just playing a fake role. Even so... it couldn't be said that she didn't expect anything more at that time.

That man had been kind and warm to her. Why would he do that? Was it just out of sympathy?

They then arrived at a place that looked simple from the outside, but inside was full of various glittering jewelry. Inside the gold and black room, diamonds sparkled beautifully.

The store manager bowed politely and greeted them and handed them a collection of beautiful diamonds as if they had been waiting for them.

"Choose quickly."
