Jennet stared back at him without feeling intimidated by the closeness between them. She spoke, “Last night, I said you have to prove that choosing you is the right choice. So, you have to make me believe in the choice that I made. Also, I won’t scorn upon you for telling the truth about yourself.” She was calm and there was no restraint in her tone. She was serious!Hue chuckled. Her calmness made him want to bully her in bed. He wanted to turn her serious gaze into a lustful gaze just like how she was being submissive last night. He wanted to re-create the moment from last night!Groaning playfully while chuckling, he said, “Honey, when you said it like that, I feel like taking you to bed already. How about we skip this conversation and get to bed right away?” He slumped his upper body on her thighs with his face pressing against her lap. "Hmm, it smells nice..." He inhaled deeply. Jennet flinched as her face flushed red. On reflex, she pushed him away. The poor man rolled down
“That’s not important!” The woman replied harshly with a scoff.Hue paused. “…Oh, okay. I’ll remember your name properly, Dadsnoteimportant.”“Tell Jennet to read the message in her inbox.” Then, the woman ended the call before Hue managed to say anything to her.Hue tsked when he placed the phone back on the table. “She is very unfriendly. What kind of people were associated with my wife?” he grumbled unhappily. He disliked people who were rude to his wife. He wanted them to respect her because she deserved it too.Hue limped back to the bed and laid down, staring at the ceiling. His mind drifted somewhere else. But, shortly after that, he snapped back to reality when he heard the doorknob click open.Jennet stepped out of the bathroom, fully clothed and her hair was slightly wet. She approached the dressing table, ignoring the creep she felt from Hue’s intense stare.“Can you stop staring at me?” J
But, to do that, she must clear the misunderstanding that Luca had and she had to reject his affection because she had made up her mind to accept Hue into her life.However, she was conflicted if Luca could handle the rejection like how she hoped because, in the first place, she had poor communication skills. She feared that a poor choice of words could harm him. Talking about something on a personal level put her under pressure because she tends to think about his reaction. For some people, rejecting someone is as easy as eating a pie. But, from the point of view of the other person who receives the rejection, it is different because it is already hard work to find the right time and to summon tremendous courage to step up to confess their feelings. If they are not well prepared for the outcome, they might lose their motivations, lose the hope in love or they might blame themselves and then may delve into self-harming or the other way around.Luca maybe
Meanwhile, Jennet was unaware that she had been stripped naked. She was too busy thinking about her hatred. She only noticed something was off when she saw the meaningful stare from the blond.“What is wrong with you?” she asked sourly, getting suspicious of him. Hue clamped his mouth, holding the urge to break into a wide smile that could expose his deed. At the same time, he swallowed air.“Cute steamed buns…” he said in the end and locked his eyes on her chest.Jennet furrowed in confusion and looked down. She gasped when she noticed that she was naked on the bed.Her face turned red. Everything that she had thought about had vanished into thin air. An enormous sense of shame mantled her sanity.Hue drooled as he raised both hands, about to grope her. His eyes sparkled as he never avert his gaze from her juicy-looking chest. He was as excited as a dog going out to the park.“I’m hungry!” he exclai
Elaine said nothing as she only nodded her head. It was no use to bicker with mama because it was improper to keep bickering with an adult. Also, it was because she had to abide by the rule set within the household; children of the Lockhart in Pencia must never go against their parents.Rosella squeezed Elaine’s hands with a sad face. “Elaine, do you think mama is being reasonable for trying to find happiness for your sister? Are you unhappy with the man that mama chose for you?”“I am happy, mama. The man you chose for me is the one whom I loved for a very long time. But,” Elaine hesitated to speak. “…must it be someone else for my sister? She had suffered enough since her childhood. She-”Rosella let go of her hands. “No matter what happened, your sister will not get any blessing from us if she chose that man. Also, I doubt she could find a decent man out there. The outside world is full of thorns and poisons.”“Mama…”“I believe we’re
“Don’t twist this situation into your favour! I wouldn’t punch you if you hadn’t stripped me of my clothes!” Jennet growled at him. “But, what is wrong about stripping my wife off her clothes? It’s a given for the husband to want to strip his wife,” Hue muttered.“No, it’s wrong! In our context is wrong!” Jennet shouted. Her eyes grew bigger as she eyed him when he was about to spill his tears. “Don’t fake your tears just because I punch you. I know you’re scheming to bed me. I am not going to fall for that same trick!”“Then, just let me die! My wife won’t even need me! There is no need for me to live now!” Hue cried as he sat down on the floor.Jennet stood before him, eyeing him sternly. “Stupid, if you die now, you will only rot in hell!” she roared to his face.Hue flinched on the floor when she snapped at him. He turned around facing his back on her and sulked. “Then, you shouldn’t get mad at me…” he grumbled.
Jennet watched as he pranced around, doing some weird dances where he jumped then flapped his arms like a chicken, tiptoed while twirling, clapped here and there, and so on. For sure, the dance was hilarious to watch. It was something that she had never seen in her life.If he was doing some kind of ritual dance, she would not know.“Okay, that’s it for today. Let’s get to bed now because tomorrow, we’re going to get married!” Jennet clapped her hands as if she was telling her kid to sleep early to get ready for school.Hue joined her in bed after she put on some clothes after he failed to ‘dress’ her. As he lay on the bed, smiling from ears to ears, wondering about the upcoming tomorrow, he asked, “Honey, I’m wondering, is there any law that protects the right of a god in this world?”Jennet pulled the blanket up to her chest. “I don’t think there’s any. God are a mighty existence so; I don’t think humans can protect them because they a
The woman continued, “Well, last night you roughened my body over and over again. I can’t do anything because you’re venting and I was taken by surprise by your mightiness. For the first time in my life, I have learnt about pain.” She smiled at him. Then, she took his hands and placed them on her back. She whispered in his ear, “My back hurt and you know that too, right?”Luca eyed her with anger hidden in his piercing gaze. “Are you trying to corner me into submitting to your schemes?” He thought she couldn't conceive from a one-night stand.Hold on, a one-night stand? How come he concluded they were on a one-night stand?!The jade-blue eyed woman chuckled again. “Schemes? How come you came up with such a thought? We have done it raw. Please try to refresh your memory again, my love,” she told him softly.She was very cool about everything, though.Luca forced himself to recall everything from last night but to no avail. The on
"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
