I'm Secretly Married to a Bigshot [ JenLisa adaptation ]

Chapter 63

Just as she expected, there was a scarf in the box.

She picked it up to have a closer look before placing it back into the case. She then smiled gently and said, “It’s great, I like it.”

She wasn’t going to express her disdain in front of everyone.

But she knew that she was never going to wear it.

Lisa turned and hugged Jennie. He then said, “I’ve told you. Grandma and Mom loved your gift. Are you relieved now?”

Jennie wasn’t blind.

It was obvious that Madam Manoban didn’t like it.

Even though she had said that she liked it, everyone could tell that she was lying.

But she couldn’t wish for more already.

“Is that right?” Jennie replied smilingly. “I’m so happy that Mom and Grandma loved the gifts.”

“Both Grandma and Mom received a gift. Where’s mine?” Jisoo realized something was amiss as he noticed Madam Manoban’s reaction. He then joked to ease up the tension.

“Ah?”

Jennie didn’t realize that he was joking. She turned towards him and replied apologetically, “I’m sorry, Big Brother. I wasn’t aware that you were at home. I’ll get you one next time, alright?”

It was so awkward when she addressed Jisoo as “Big Brother.”

She wasn’t used to it.

She was already nervous enough addressing him while Lisa was there.

This was Manoban Jisoo!

Someone Jennie could only see on the news.

One of the leaders of the country.

Jisoo was amused by her reaction and replied jokingly, “Sis-in-law, it’s alright. Relax, I was just joking. I didn’t prepare anything for you as well.

“I’ll get one for you next time as well.”

Jennie replied, “Erm, then… Thanks, big brother.”

She realized that Jisoo was more approachable when he smiled.

He seemed to have a great personality as well.

Like someone easy to get along with.

She felt less nervous talking to him already.

“It’s time for dinner,” Old Madam said as she got up. She then gestured smilingly towards Jennie. “Come here, Jennie. Let’s go. Sit next to me during dinner.”

Old Madam could tell that Madam Manoban didn’t like Jennie.

Even though she had received the gift, she did so unwillingly.

Madam Manoban didn’t put in much effort to conceal her dislike.

It was so obvious to an old woman like her. Jennie must have noticed it as well.

Old Madam really liked Jennie and didn’t want her to be treated badly.

As she saw that Madam Manoban was treating Jennie poorly, she wanted to compensate by treating her well.

Jennie noticed that Old Madam was calling out to her. She immediately let go of Lisa’s hand and went over to her.

She held onto Old Madam’s hand affectionately and said, “Alright, grandma. I want to be close to you as well. I have so much to tell you.”
