The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife | Book 3

439.Waiting

Jungkook did not want anyone to give Lisa a room card, nor did he want anyone to look at Lisa the way Wei Yong did. It was as if a ferocious beast was imprisoned in his heart, ready to break out of its cage at any moment. His eyes were bottomless as if they would swallow the person in front of him at any moment.

"It's just Tzuyu. He can't move me," Lisa seemed unaware of Jungkook's abnormal behavior. She chuckled, and her slightly cold fingertips landed on Jungkook's face. She caressed his jawline lightly. "If Mr. Jeon isn't in the room where this room card opens, it's no different from rubbish. When will you give me your room card then, Mr. Jeon?" She smiled. Her fair arm wrapped around Jungkook's neck. She smiled and said, "I'll be on time. I won't let Mr. Jeon wait too long."

Jungkook's Adam's apple rolled. Finally, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Lisa's red lips. He greedily kissed her. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Madam, you're playing with fire."

"I'm waiting for the fire to burn me," Lisa's smile beamed. The fragrance of wine and her body's faint scent assailed Jungkook's nostrils. It was like a potion, luring his desire. Jungkook hurried to take a shower and was in a pathetic situation, enduring his lust.

After a good night's sleep, when Lisa woke up the next day, she looked at the empty room and recalled everything that happened after she got drunk. Her face immediately flushed as she thought, "What was wrong with me? Am I insane? I flirted with Jungkook after I was drunk last night! Will Jungkook think I had long coveted his beauty and deliberately took advantage of him when I was drunk?"

!!

As soon as she recalled last night, the kisses that made her blush filled Lisa's mind, and her heart pounded. It was rare for her to want to hide like an ostrich. Yet she still slowly walked downstairs. Usually, Jungkook would have gone to work, but now, he was sitting in the dining room eating.

"Are you awake?" Hearing Lisa's voice coming downstairs, Jungkook asked gently, "do you have a headache?"

"No," Lisa could feel her face blushing when she saw Jungkook. She asked, "why are you not at work today?"

"Something distracted my sleep, and I woke up late," Seeing Lisa's uneasiness, Jungkook asked with a smile, "did you sleep well last night?"

Distraction? What distraction could it be other than the one last night? Lisa's cheeks flushed red from Jungkook's words. She clenched her chopsticks, unable to eat the delicious breakfast no matter how hard she tried.

"I, I have an exam in two days, so I have to go to school today," After finishing the breakfast on the table in a hurry, Lisa pretended to be calm and got up. "Enjoy your meal. I'll head to school first."

Because Lisa was shy, Jungkook feared teasing her again would anger her. So, he smiled and said, "Don't rush. Drink the milk."

Since Jungkook had said so, it would be obvious if Lisa was in a hurry to leave. So, she could only sit down again. Fortunately, Jungkook didn't mention what happened last night, and she silently felt relief.

Every morning, there were all kinds of luxury cars in front of Si Cheng High School. When Lisa arrived, many students had just arrived at the school. At this time, a few of her acquaintances were around the school gate.

"Seulgi, take care of yourself and don't study too hard. Rest properly," Mrs. Park gently reminded Seulgi, "I made some bird's nest tonic for you. Drink it when you come back from school."

"Okay, Mom. I'm not a child anymore," Seulgi nodded helplessly. "I know."

"I know you're not a child anymore. But when it comes to studying, you're even worse than a child. You're so infatuated that you can't even care about eating or drinking," Mrs. Park retorted, "your health is important. Mom wants you to be healthy." Although there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her mouth, her face revealed a proud smile. How could she not be proud to have given birth to a talented and hardworking daughter? No parent would not be proud of their child's good grades.

"I know that you are doing this for my good. I will take note of it," Seulgi chuckled. She turned to look at Joy, who was beside Madam Park. There was a hint of worry in her tone. "Sis, what are you thinking about?"

Joy had become skinnier than before. She used to be plump and beautiful, and her pretty face had caved in with a hint of arrogance. She looked haggard, and her eyes were gloomy. It seemed that she had not slept well for a long time. Her eyes, which always looked at others arrogantly, were now lifeless. She was like a marionette, unmoved by Seulgi's question.
