Ghost of My Heart

Chapter 26 - No Sneaking

Feeling excited, she went into the bathroom, already wrapped in a bath towel. She halted by the mirror and looked at her body in it. Her smile faded.

The reddish and purplish marks are still visible on her skin.

She shook her head and went into the shower with a deep sigh. "Well, how can I get rid of these marks from my body? I don't even know how I got these either."

She had been sighing over the conversation she had a few days ago about these marks. The pregnancy kits given to her was kept in the drawer in her bathroom since she didn't know where will be the proper place to keep it. Well, she will be alone in her villa and rarely have a guest coming for a visit. Most of all, they would not enter her bedroom.

After a shower and after she cleaned her body thoroughly, she put on her pyjamas and trotted happily into the kitchen with her evil intention hidden deep beneath her heart. Her messy mind had been cleared after shower and she can't wait to execute her plan!

However, Hue was glaring at her from the dining table as he rose from the chair. He walked towards her and suddenly pushed her against the wall close to the fridge. He slammed both of his hands against the wall, few inches away from her head. He leaned closer to her.

"What have you been planning to do to me?" He asked in a soft whisper as he brushed his high nose against her earlobe, teasing her.

Jennet's shoulders twitched at his unexpected move. Her hearts suddenly beat at an intense speed. She forgot that he was actually not good for her heart. She still could not withstand his charm every time he gets closer to her. She would always fell out of balance and all her intention could be jeopardized.

She gulped and placed her cold palm against his broad chest. "I am too hungry to plan anything against you." She replied, hiding the truth. She pushed him away from her and tried to break free from his body barricade but he just stood firm. He won't even budge from the spot.

Hue smirked at her and tilted her chin upward, looking at him. "I still need to do a thorough inspection on your body before I can allow you to eat." He said in a low voice that only she can hear.

Jennet gulped again. At the same time, she blushed. She shuddered when he inched closer to her. She could clearly hear her heart beating crazily in her chest. It was like mental torture for her, waiting for him to sniff her and to make sure there was no lingering smell on her body.

Hue took a lock of her hair into his hand and brought it to his nose, inhaling it. His eyes, fixed on her face that was looking away and was looking scared to even look back at him.

He could hear her loud beating heart. It made him surprised. 'You do know how to be scared of my charm. Ah, I so want to tease you even more!' He said in his heart with a devilish laugh.

He placed his warm palm over her hot cheek and brought his face even closer to her face. Jennet rolled her eyes at him and immediately block his lip from hers using her hand. "What are you trying to do to me? You wanted to kiss me?!"

Hue pulled his face back and grabbed her hand that was pressing on his mouth. He glared down at her, "Kiss you? How can I ever do that when I still can smell that stinky smell on you?" He rolled his jade-blue eyes at her, blaming her all at the same time.

Jennet blinked her eyes, looking guilty. On impulse, she cupped her face and looked away from him. 'Goodness, I have just embarrassed myself!' She cried in her heart.

Her ears reddened and her face burning in embarrassment. When somebody said she still stinks, her self-esteem shot downward. She felt useless and couldn't motivate herself to get up and brace it especially when that someone who gave out such statements was from a handsome man like Hue. She had always been so bad around good looking people and keeping a distance from them could help her calm her unsteady heart.

Hue looked at the woman who was hiding her red face from him and he chuckled in front of her. "Hey, stop hiding your face. I was just joking. I am sorry my wife. I didn't mean to say it. You smell so nice now." He said and pulled her hands away from covering her own face.

Jennet shot him a murderous glare at what he had just said. She had to urge to bite his ears off now. But, before she could attack him like a mad dog, her stomach growled even fiercely, reminding her of the crucial part. Stuffing her empty stomach to full!

Hue stared at her speechless look. Both of them could hear the loud sound coming from her stomach. He burst into a hearty laugh. "Well, I am so sorry for keeping you hungry. Come now, wife." He pulled her toward the dining table and pulled a chair for her to sit.

Jennet sat down obediently. Throughout the dinner, she didn't say even a single word. She just kept stuffing her stomach with all the delicious dishes.

Meanwhile, Hue sat beside her with a satisfied look, looking at her gobbling the foods without complaint.

After dinner, Jennet went into one of the guest room and prepared the bed. Tonight, she will let Hue sleep in one of the guest room since she had two of those in her villa. She won't let him enter her bedroom. Never!

"For whom are you preparing this room for?" Hue appeared by her side. His sudden appearance frightened the wits out of her who was busy turning down the bed cover.

"You, don't just appear from behind me like that!" She yelled at him, she landed a hard slap on his right arm.

She had enough of heart racing situation today. She doesn't want to get a heart attack afterwards. She glared at him as she went through the wardrobe and took a bath towel before tossing it at him.

"You, go take a bath since you stink of sweat!" She said, repeating the same treatment he had done to her before dinner.

Hue took the bath towel with a smile. "Thank you for telling me I stink of sweat. Would you like to join me in as well?" He asked, tilting his head a bit before raising an eyebrow at her.

Jennet clicked her tongue. "Tsk, who wanted to have a bath with you, pervert!" She said and took a bathrobe from inside the wardrobe and tossed it at him again.

"Since I have no more spare clothes for you, just bear with this bathrobe for now and you will be sleeping here. Good night!" She added.

Before she slammed the door shut, she reminded him at the door, "Don't even think of sneaking into my room!" She glared, warning him.

Then, she immediately headed upstairs, leaving Hue, who was smiling alone with both the bath towel and bathrobe in his hands.

"Well, go to sleep now wife. I will join you later." He talked alone and chuckled as he entered the bathroom. She was so na?ve thinking that he could not enter her room. Well, she was dead wrong!
