“I apologize but, he is my husband,” Jennet corrected while smiling. Oh well, he is my husband in eyes public now, she grumbled inwardly. She had no intention to lie but, she could not stop it now.
“We appreciate your kindness but, we will not be taking it for free. Please get the payment from my card or, we will leave without taking anything.” Jennet spoke in a calm but stern tone.
The sexy woman smiled, “Very well.” She glanced towards Hue that caught her attention since she came. “I hope you will accept our gratitude because your appearance brought happiness to our staff. They had never seen a man as handsome as you before,” she winked at him.
Hue stretched an awkward smile as he grabbed Jennet’s hand tightly. He was hiding behind his short wife. He got spooked when she winked and, he felt something was strange about her.
“Well, since you insist, we will accept your kindness. However, it won’t be for free but at a discount.” Jennet said confidentl
Inside the car, Jennet held the steering wheel tightly. Her heart burned with rage. “It was rude. I tell you it was rude,” she voiced out her dissatisfaction. “I have never done something like that in my life!” A deep grunt cracked from the depth of her throat. “Humph!” Hue grunted in his seat. He faced the window with a smug and pouty face, ignoring her. “Do not make that sound with me!” She snapped at him. “Honking when people are having a conversation is very rude and, for goodness’ sake, she is someone elderly who we must respect. Why can’t you approach us and ask to leave politely? Did you not know anything about being polite?!” He faced her and said proudly, “Yes, I know nothing about that!” Then, he looked away as pouty as ever. Why would he care for such things? He lived longer than humans and, he had the authority to act as however, he wanted. Jennet seethed in her seat. She stopped the car by the roadside. His childish and
Jennet froze. A request like that never crossed her mind. It was rather childish of him to make a bold request like that. “You are being unreasonable,” she said with a stiff face. Her guard rose steadily. “It is reasonable,” Hue replied solemnly, “because there is nothing wrong with my reasoning.” He grinned. Jennet clenched her jaws. She surmised he was the embodiment of pure evil and, there was nowhere she could feel happy about it when she knew he had orchestrated a sneaky scheme to trap her. “I just met you and, I am not going to kiss you,” she said after summoning her courage to speak up. Hue tsked and waved his finger, “Uh-uh, you are wrong there, honey. In my calculation that is including today, we have been together for five days,” he raised his brows while grinning, “I was there from the first night.” “What?” Jennet croaked in shock. “Yup. You heard me right.” Man, he was so proud to finally reveal that he was with h
Inside the supermarket, Jennet was not paying attention to her shopping. She took whatever she saw. Her mind was occupied by a lot of things. She had no idea that she attracted quite a lot of stares from other shoppers when she mumbled, ‘I’m dead, I’m dead’ while pushing the shopping cart. She came to reality when the cashier waved his hand before her face and called out to her.“Excuse me, miss, are you paying by cash or by card?” The cashier's concerned expression greeted her view.Jennet broke into a smile, “Ah, I’m sorry. I’m paying by card.” She shoved her card to him while hiding her embarrassment for zoning out for too long.After paying for the grocery, she hurried to the door. However, she retreated to the cashier again.“Do you sell pepper sprays?” She asked with hopeful eyes.When the cashier shook with an apologetic smile, she felt more depressed than ever but, she
“Hard to believe? But, we are here!” The ladies giggled together with her as they jumped around with glee.Jennet laughed, “But, I am serious. How did you know where I live? We were like not in contact with one another for nearly six years.”“We followed your car from the supermarket.” Explained one of the ladies and, the rest nodded.“You know which car I was in too?” Jennet was even more surprised than ever. How the heck did they manage to find out about the details of her car? That was insane!“But, wow, look at you now,” Rosey stepped forwards and eyed Jennet from head to toe, “you’ve gone through a huge transformation. You look nothing like when you were in school. I say, you’re prettier now, girlfriend!” she smiled widely.Rosey was a bit shorter than the rest of them. She had a curvy body and, she wore a provocative pic knee-length dress that matched her pic
“Ahem,” Hue coughed, “we met five years ago and, I fell in love at first sight with her. We got engaged for five years and, about four days ago, we were officially married. This villa is our love nest.” Well, that was all made up story, Jennet thought. They met only a few days ago and, their first encounter was in bed, snuggling together! “That is unbelievable. You met each other five years ago?” All eyes shifted towards Jennet, who had stayed silent for being ignored by everyone. “Please don’t listen to him. It’s not what you think it is.” Jennet tried to explain the situation. But, none of her friends chose to listen. They were engrossed to know more about her love life from Hue, who fed them with nothing but juicy lies. Well, it’s not like they know if the story is true in the first place. “Jennet, keep still and listen,” Avina shushed her softly. Then, she eyed the handsome man and smiled, “Hue, please continue with your story. We would
“P-put me down!” she hissed at him with a low voice, worried that she might wake her friends that were resting in the guestrooms. She clung to his neck in fear when he carried her bridal style along the stairs. The feeling of being lifted off the ground was heart-wretchedly scary. It was also because no one had ever carried her like that. Not once in her life!“Honey, we should celebrate this joyous occasion on our own because I love you so much.” Hue smiled with mischief. He had already planned all sorts of naughty things that he wished to shower her with.“Put me down! I can walk! Put me down!” Jennet cried. However, her grip on his collar only tightened when the door of her bedroom came into sight. That instant, her face was void of any colour but only whiteness.“W-what are you trying to do?! Why are we going to my room?!” She asked. No, no! She cried when her heart squeezed in fear.Hue
Hue was overwhelmed by an unspeakable desire to take over her body when she kept on nibbling his lips. It was a tingling feeling.He held his desires as best as he could because he would like to keep enjoying the advances from her. Even if she denied her feelings or actions afterwards, he would be satisfied because he had seen a side of her that even herself had not known of yet.“Honey…” he whispered, calling her softly.He raised a hand and touched her warm lips. Those supple lips were trembling to his touch and, they were inviting him for a kiss. He propelled his body up with an elbow and took her lips. At the same time, his body dispersed a scent that drove the woman hotter. She pulled back her face and pushed him to lay back in bed. She started to perspire and felt stuffy. At that moment, her senses seemed to have come back.“This room is so hot!” she said and jumped down from his body with a red face.Sh
Hue smiled widely when he knew how surprised she was. She must be thinking about last night, he thought. He remembered about the lewd face she made and her assertive behaviour. He wished to make her give in to him and, if she doesn’t, he would keep pushing on her buttons just to enjoy her priceless expression. He leant closer, “Last night-” “Oh no, the cereals are crying!” Jennet pushed aside his leaning face, evading the topic. She went and stuffed cereals in her mouth as her face went red. Avina and Belle held their laughter when they heard her lame excuse. They knew right away that something ‘good’ did happen between them last night. The fluffy moment between them was undeniably refreshing because it would be the first time they saw Jennet behaving so awkwardly. Hue smiled towards the awkward Jennet as he poured milk in her cereals. “Eat slowly, love,” he informed her before giving her an unexpected peck on the cheek, turning her face red
"I am Jennet Lockhart!" claimed the silver-haired woman. Delton furrowed his brows. He had no idea a foreign woman had the gall to make such a claim. He had just returned from the palace and heard of something bizarre from the emperor who was reluctant to divulge the truth. His mood deteriorated after the meeting."Can you prove your claim?" he asked coldly."My ring!" she said loudly. "Hue gave me a ring as proof!"Delton glanced at her finger. There was no ring."I'm sorry, but I don't think you can play around with such a claim," he said. "Lying will add more bad deeds into your account.""I'm not lying," she slapped the bed. "I am Jennet Lockhart. Get my husband here to verify this claim!"Delton exhaled. "I'm sorry but it's improper to call upon him to verify your claim. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror?"How could she claim she was Jennet Lockhart when her appearance differed greatly from hers? This woman must be desperate to get away from her punishment.The woman we
'Apologies for not helping much...' added the spirit.Delton sighed. "Never mind."He turned around and gestured at the reapers to leave the place....After visiting the nursery, Jennet asked to go out for a date.Hue smiled. "I love that idea. Where do you want to go? The gardens?"He was about to get bored and she proposed such an amazing idea to kill time. He was grateful that they clicked.Jennet smiled. "Is that a great place for a meaningful date? We have not gone on a proper date before. I want it to be a proper full-day date!"Hue responded after pondering, "I guess going to the garden is great. Unless you have a place in mind.""I do have one in mind," she said. She gave him a side glance and then smiled widely, "Can we go to the market again? Just the two of us."Hue's face dropped. "The market? Again?" Disappointment was clear in his voice.Jennet leaned closer. "Please, honey. This one time, please..."Hue scratched the back of his ear, contemplating. "Uh, can we go to a
Many hours ago...After spending some time gazing at Hue's sleeping face, Jennet went to the kitchen for a drink. As she quenched her thirst, a gust of wind blew hard, knocking on the back door to the yard.She glanced as she placed the glass on the counter."That's a strong wind..." she murmured and approached to close the ajar door.'West gate...'She froze. She furtively eyed the vicinity. Her heart skipped a beat and goosebumps crawled her skin.Although terrified, she stepped out slightly and looked around; just to ease her feeling.The backyard was mantled in darkness with the twin moon hiding behind thick black clouds.Thud, thud, thud, thud...Jennet flinched and looked up. The sound of footsteps came from upstairs and, strangely, she felt it wasn't her family members.She hurried inside, locked the door, and rushed upstairs. But, the hallway was empty. However, the door to their bedroom was slightly ajar with the lights dimly lit.Jennet furrowed. 'I remember switching on all
Hue and Jennet were downstairs when they heard loud bangs coming from upstairs.“What is that?” Jennet glanced in alarmed, half-jumping from her seat. Hue rose from his chair and assured her to sit comfortably. “I’ll go and check,” he said.“Be careful, honey.” Jennet sat down, hoping nothing bad would happen.Hue went upstairs and realised the loud bangs had come from their bedroom. He grabbed a hanger from the laundry basket near the stairs. In his grasp, the hanger morphed into a sabre.“Gomi?” he called.‘Yes, master?’ replied a voice in his head.‘Do you sense something off?’‘Apart from the spirit is ill, nothing else.’Then, Gomi’s presence vanished from his mind. Hue didn’t think much of it because he was sure Gomi and the rest of their familiars were unhappy after the twins placed them under restrained orders. In Fantasy Realm, restraining orders were considered a major distrust of the master towards the familiars. But, if the familiars were innocent, they could refuse to s
Hue woke up when something buttery and toasty hit his nose. He unfurled his eyes and saw the Smell Folk dancing in mid-air. Their dance was very graceful and beautiful, unlike usual. It seemed as if they were celebrating something that was long forgotten.He sat on the sofa and tied his long hair into a low ponytail. Yawning, he placed the bolster on the sofa bed and approached the kitchen.Standing at the entrance, he eyed his wife, whose back faced him. She was donned in the pink apron he uses when working in the kitchen. She was placing sunny-side-up eggs on a plate."Honey, I thought I would be making breakfast today," he said.Jennet turned around and smiled brightly. "I was up too early today. So, I thought of making breakfast for us since you always made it.""Why didn't you just wake me up?" he asked."You were sound asleep, and I don't want to rouse you from your peaceful sleep."Hue scratched his head and covered his mouth to yawn. "Is this your roundabout way of asking forgi
The turtle inhaled deeply. He broke into a smile. "Yes, of course, because some of the stuff I sell needs the good deed.""Oh..." Jennet nodded her head. She was confused but she had nothing to ask because she had no idea what to ask. The more she delves into the sensitive case, the more she gets confused about everything around them.After the conversation, Jennet and the twins took their time to see all of the stuff on display. The vast majority of the items were human's everyday stuff and were broken. For example, the quills without nibs, shoes without soles, cups without handles, bows without strings and the list just went on.Jennet came across a hilt, the only one among thousands of items on display. She felt a strange sense of Deja Vu as if she had seen it before."That one is notorious and dangerously powerful, but had a sad story..." The turtle gave an intro.Jennet glanced and asked, "What happened to it?" She was interested.The turtle inhaled deeply. "He was once a powerf
Jennet rolled her eyes at them. "Arro, that is not nice. Please don't blatantly harm others.""But, he disrespected you. I can't let that slide."Jennet knocked his head gently and said, "Young man, you can't do that. It was my fault he got mad. I nearly stepped on him due to my carelessness. It's understandable why he talked harshly with me.""But-""That is enough. Let us continue shopping." She stopped him before he could speak his mind. If she said nothing, he would take revenge on her behalf.Arro hesitantly responded, "...Alright."Then, the twins walked ahead of her as she followed them from behind. She heard them talking, enthusiastically, about the festival that was going at full throttle.Jennet smiled and enjoyed herself looking around the place. Suddenly, someone brushed past her and something pricked her arm."Oww!" She gasped in pain. She looked down and noticed blood bleeding through the fabric on her left arm. Grimacing, she pressed her palm onto the cut to stop the b
"Can we go to the market again?" Hue paused, reeled his hand and turned on his heels. His brows knitted at what he heard from his wife. They were in the room, making the bed. "Why? Have you forgotten that you fell ill after our first visit?" He tried to pound some sense into her head. He hoped she would cancel her plans. Jennet clasped her hands to her chest and begged, "Honey, I just want to go shopping!" Hue raised an eyebrow. "Shopping?" It was a wonder how loosely humans think about their safety. Humans love to break the rules and never learn their lesson until it is too late. Jennet nodded. "I want to bring some gifts for my family." Hue exhaled and then sighed. "Honey, I don't think that is a great idea." "Why?" "Well, in my opinion, it's best to buy the gifts in the human realm. Get something that is more of a human thing because everything here is not normal to humans." "Then, how are we going to explain about our kids to my family?" She dropped the bomb a
Hue smiled as he crawled out of bed and stood before her. He took off the hair band that tied his long mane and it flowed free, dispensing a pleasant scent."Keep your eyes on me..." he said with a smirk."I am keeping my eyes on you," answered Jennet brazenly.Hue, locking his gaze on his wife, popped open the buttons on his shirt from top to bottom. His movement was neither slow nor fast. Then, his flawless skin came into sight. His sexy abs and sturdy pecs glistened under the light from every corner.Meanwhile, Jennet said nothing, but she gulped silently. His abs that she had not touched for weeks were within her reach. She was itching to run her fingers all over the perfect specimen! Hue tossed his shirt away but halted from taking off his trousers as he gave her an alluring gaze."You like to see me getting naked, right?""What do you mean?"Hue tilted his head to the side. "Well, I see you're drooling an
