CHAPTER 126

She knew that Bambam was very busy, and she didn't want to add to his list of problems. Even when she had told herself that she should be more understanding, she often had ended up even more unhappy.

When they had both been poor, they had worried about their finances as a couple but, now that Bambam had become wealthier, only she worried about money.

Although he always showered her with expensive gifts and cosmetics whenever he had come back from a business trip, and he'd always have his secretary deposit a generous amount of money into her bank account every month, and just five days ago he'd given her a new car, she still felt that she was living precariously. Last month, when he had planned to expand the business, she had said to him, "Bambam, perhaps we should stop working so hard to earn all this money."

He had stared at her as if he was looking at a fool. It would never occur to him that someone could have too much money.

At 9:00 a.m. on the third day of Korean New Year, Bambam visited the Lim family and filled up their living room with bags of gifts.

The renovation work for Lisa Lim and Bambam's newlywed house had been complete two days previously. Lisa Lim's parents hadn't seen the house yet, and Father Lim brought it up after lunch. Without further ado, Bambam drove them all over for a tour.

The house was a villa with a huge courtyard. Upon entering, Lisa's parents began looking around, while the couple headed to their master bedroom on the second floor.

Without removing the packaging around their mattress, Bambam laid on the bed with his arms around Lisa Lim. A lingering kiss drew out the burning lust within them, and Bambam whispered into Lisa Lim's ear in a low, breathy voice, "Lisa, I've restrained myself for 10 years and this is finally going to end after 20 days."

Knowing what his words implied, Lisa Lim's cheeks flushed scarlet, and she pushed him away from her.

With her parents still in the house, it was naturally out of the question to continue with their physical intimacy, so he got up and walked to the bathroom.

The second he entered the bathroom, his phone, which had been left on the bed, beeped.

As the phone was next to her, Lisa Lim tilted her head and looked over at the screen. It was a message from Master Lee.

"Don't worry. I won't get pregnant. I've just taken the morning-after pill."

Master Lee? Isn't Master Lee a man? Wasn't he the one Bambam entertained yesterday? Pregnant? Morning-after pill? What's going on?

Her mind blanked out in a state of confusion, and then a new message popped up on the locked screen. "The morning-after pill is damaging to the body. I don't care, but you'll have to make it up to me by spending the night over at my house."

At that moment, Lisa Lim heard Bambam flush the toilet and then head back into the bedroom.

Afraid he would know she'd been reading his messages, she quickly turned her back toward his phone and began to play with her own.

Bambam sat on the bed and began to chat idly with her but, having read those messages, Lisa Lim found it hard to concentrate on their conversation.

Noticing her unusual behavior, Bambam asked with concern, "What's wrong? Nuannuan, are you feeling okay?"

"Probably because I'm having my period soon, my stomach hurts a little," Lisa Lim replied, shaking her head.

Rising from the bed, Bambam retrieved a new blanket from the cabinet and draped it over her. "Get some rest then," he said tenderly.
