Married To The Jinx 66 I Love You
ADELE"It's why you never said it back when I said it. That is why you've never told me," he began saying calmly again before looking back into my eyes. "that you love me."His last few words came in such whispers that I felt my heart stop for a bit. What?! "But really, do I mean nothing to you? Is that how little my trust in you is?" He questioned as he took slow steps forward, causing me to move back a bit."Could you not confide in me?""You could have told me first, Adele!" He yelled and I felt my eyes sting immediately."But you chose to distance yourself from me instead," he commented silently and I closed my eyes as I tried to savor what was happening. I opened my eyes to meet Chris's gaze on me. He still has that hurt and disappointed look on his face and he has no idea how badly his look is tearing me apart.He let my hand go all of a sudden before taking a few steps back. He turned around to walk away and it took everything in me to be able to voice out something. "I am
Married To The Jinx 67 You Need Some Scolding
ADELEIt's been two days since I have 'that' fight with Daniel. Everything has been going smoothly since then but I don't know, I still feel like I hurt his pride too much. Chris is cooking dinner while I watch him. I have asked him to prepare me Lo Mein Noodles again. It's my favorite meal of his. He turned to look at me with a smile as he grabbed an ingredient and I smiled back. And that was when it occurred to me. I know a way in which I can pay Chris back for what I did to him. I mean, at least get this feeling off my chest. I am going to make a drawing of him or a painting. A drawing that would be so spectacular, he would want to hold it close to his heart. It won't be like the drawing of a half-naked Chris that I have drawn before- God, I hope he does not see that- it would be so embarassing.A plate of noodles was dropped in front of me and I looked up at Chris. "You seemed like you were not here at all. What were you thinking about?" He asked as he took his seat beside me
Married To The Jinx 68 You Are Perfection Itself
ADELE It's Saturday and Chris is driving me to his mother's house himself. I did not notify her beforehand of my visit, because I want to surprise her. "I hope she is at home," I commented with slanted lips as I stared at the road ahead of us. "She is always at home on Saturdays, trust me" Chris replied and I turned to look at him. "You keep saying that. What if she isn't?" I asked with a frown on my face. "Well, then it's out of my hands," Chris started with a nonchalant look on his face. "I wasn't the one who wanted to give her a surprise visit," he added before raising both hands from the steering wheel. "Chris!" I shouted immediately and his hands went back on the steering wheel instantly. "What?!" He questioned, matching the tone I had used for him. "You are going to get us killed," I answered through gritted teeth as I bore holes beside his head with my eyes. "No, I am not," he replied immediately and I just stared at him. I finally took my eyes off him as a deep sigh
Married To The Jinx 69 Scenes In Front Of His Mother
ADELEI moved my body forward to walk to where Mrs. Marvin stood in front of her house's front door but Chris won't let me leave. His hand that is around my waist held on tightly to me all of a sudden, hindering my movement. I looked up at him and he took his eyes off his mother before looking down at me. "Let's go together," Chris said softly with a small handsome smile on his face and I stared at him, almost losing myself in those eyes. 'Almost'I pulled myself out of his hand abruptly and his eyes widened at me. "Stop acting like a child," I hissed playfully as I looked at him from top to bottom. I looked back at the woman who is still patiently waiting for us in front of that door, with a genuine smile on her face. "Adele," I heard Chris whine from behind me and I almost laughed out loud. I kept on walking and soon, I was in front of Mrs. Marvin. "Good afternoon, ma'am," I greeted with a smile on my face and she smiled back instantly. Suddenly, her face went into a frown
Married To The Jinx 70 A Long Chatty Interaction With Chris's Mother
ADELE"Take a seat," Chris's mother said as she took her seat on one of the couches in the sitting room.I walked forward with a small polite smile on my face before sitting down on the couch beside the couch she was sitting on. I am just to her left-hand side. My eyes fell on the plate containing different sliced-into-bits fruits on the table and I raised a brow at it. "Am I perhaps, interrupting your lunch?" I tried to sound as polite as I could. I hope it came out well. "Oh no, not at all," Chris's mother replied with a smile on her face and I smiled back. "You would not believe it," she started, calling my attention to her. "I was carrying this out of the kitchen when I saw you and Chris having fun outside," she said, completing her sentence with a wink and my mouth went slightly agape. I looked down at my lap as I tried to think of the right response to give. She is talking about when Chris pulled me back to kiss me. "I- I-""I am glad you guys are having fun," she eased m
Married To The Jinx 71 Art Exhibition Invite
ADELEChris's mother let out a chuckle before speaking up again. "I have been invited to an art exhibition," she started with all of her focus on me. "And I was wondering if you and Chris could go in my stead," she added as she blinked continuously at me and I looked down at my now empty bowl.I don't know if Chris would be willing to go. "Do you think Chris would want to-?" I started saying and she cut me off immediately. "Of course! As long as you are going, I am sure he would want to go as well," she assured me with a wink and I smiled a bit. "Thank you for the invite then," I said politely with a smile and she nodded. "Remind me to get the invitation letter for you when you are about to leave," she said with bright eyes and I nodded. "Okay, Mother"Everything went quiet once again and I played with my fingers."I should call Chris. I would soon be taking my leave," I said slowly as I looked up at Chris's mother."What?! You are leaving soon?" She asked with wide eyes and I
Married To The Jinx 72 A Realistic Drawing Of Chris
ADELEWe arrived at home and it was getting dark outside already. Chris parked the car on one side and I got down from the car immediately, pulling my bag after me. I went inside the house and the sensitive lights in the sitting room immediately turned on. I turned back to check if Chris was coming and I watched him walk closer and closer. I decided to leave the front door open before walking slowly into the sitting room. God, I am so tired. All I did was sit down and chat with Chris's mother. I have no idea how I got so exhausted. The front door closed behind me and I turned around. Chris walked in and I forced a small smile at him. "You have no idea how much I have missed you," he said as he took large strides toward me, pulling his suit jacket off and I just giggled. Chris appeared in front of me within seconds and he dropped his jacket on the couch behind me carelessly. "I missed you too," I managed to voice out before his hands came to hold both of my cheeks. I had no time
Married To The Jinx 73 Close Your Eyes
ADELEThe front door clicked open and my gaze went to it immediately. Chris walked in with an expressionless face but his face brightened up when his eyes landed on me. I feel like I know something else that could cheer him up from a long day at work. "Welcome home, hubby!" I screamed joyfully before shooting up from my seat. I went to meet him immediately and took his work suitcase from his hand. "What's wrong? Is it me or are you so happy right now?" Chris asked with a grin on his face and I stopped in front of him properly. "I am always happy all the time," I replied and he raised a brow at me instantly. "I disagree," he replied and I rolled my eyes playfully at him before going to his back. I dropped my hand on his shoulders from behind pulling off his suit jacket from him. "Ooh, I feel like I know where this is going," Chris started saying so eagerly with a big toothy smile on his face."I never knew you could be so bold but I like it," he added as he turned to look at m

Married To The Jinx EPILOGUE
ADELEIt's been a week since the competition. Everything is back to normal and Chris has even gotten up to prepare for work today as well.Oh yes, Bianca's modeling job went down because of what happened at the competition. Apparently, someone had been filming all that happened. She got out of the police jail not long after she was placed in it but I think she has learnt her lesson. Chris walked out of the walk-in closet and I sat up immediately to look at him. I felt a sharp headache and I hissed. Chris got in front of me- at the foot of the bed- in no time as he asked. "Hey, are you okay?" I pushed my hand in front of him to tell him to stop talking. I don't know where this headache came from all of a sudden. "Yeah, I am fine," I replied with a smile as I looked up at Chris. My stomach started making some disturbance and I winced when I suddenly got a stomach ache. I bent forward on my seat on the bed as I clenched the cloth holding my stomach tightly in my hand. "Adele?""So
Married To The Jinx 86 Art Competition Winners
ADELE"So, why did you do it? Why did you take my artwork?" I asked and she moved in the tight grip of the investigator. She brought her face in front of mine as she spat those foolish, unkind words. "Because I hate you," she replied as she looked into my eyes and I frowned. She moved back as a loud hysterical laugh escaped her lips. The investigators moved his feet while he pulled Bianca after him. She stopped laughing all of a sudden and screamed at the top of her voice. "I can walk on my own!" She demanded to the investigator who held on to her right arm and he let her go immediately. She walked in the front while the two investigators walked behind her. I released a deep breath as they went out of my sight. Chris arrived backstage with the two men who had collected my artwork from me outside the hotel yesterday. They were both carrying my artwork."You are here," I said as he reached in front of me and he nodded. "And let's welcome Mrs. Marvin to the stage!" I heard the Ma
Married To The Jinx 85 Bianca Stole Adele's Painting
ADELEThe investigators arrived some moments later in a black round-neck top and jean trousers. Two of them went into the hotel while others stayed inside the car, not far away from the hotel. I welcomed them into my hotel room and shut the door. I am only thankful that the event has started, so all the artists are in there. Chris asked me to take my seat on the bed while the two investigators stood in front of me. Chris stood on my left, not far away from the bed and not far away from the investigators. "When last did you see the artwork, Mrs. Marvin?" The nice and calm looking one of the investigators asked. "Uh, yesterday afternoon when I brought it here in my husband's car," I replied and the other one wrote something down. "Your husband explained to us that two men collected the artwork from you," he said and I nodded. "That's right," I replied and the other man wrote something down again. "Can you describe those men?"I nodded and tried to make a good description of them
Married To The Jinx 84 Adele's Artwork Has Gone Missing
ADELE"Bianca?" I asked as I squinted my eyes at her and she giggled. "Surprise!" She said back cheerfully and I furrowed my brows at her. What is wrong with her?"Oh right, I did not know you would be here as well," she added in her normal self as she slanted her lips at me. I must say, she is still looking beautiful as always. "What are you doing here?" I asked and she sighed. "I am here for the art competition," she replied and my mouth went round in surprise. I thought she was a model, how can she be here? Or does she perhaps paint as well?"Wha-? How?" I let out uncontrollably and she chuckled again. "Well, I might have lied to my new boyfriend that I know how to paint. Then, he signed me up for this and here I am," she said with a shrug and I nodded at her words knowingly. Well, that sounds like her. "Nice to see you again then," I greeted as I forced a smile at her and she smiled back instantly."Same here," she replied and I hummed before getting into my room. "I wil
Married To The Jinx 83 Chris Visits At Night
ADELE"Chris? What are you doing here?" I asked with my eyes wide in surprise. "Can I come in?" He asked and I moved away from the door immediately. "Of course," I replied as Chris pushed his body in with a sigh. I closed the door and turned around to look at Chris immediately. "I called your phone," he said with a sigh as he sat down at the edge of the bed. "My phone is dead," I replied as I moved forward and stood in front of him. "Oh, I got so worried though," he breathed under his breath and I took my seat beside him. "I know"Chris pulled me into a hug immediately I sat down and I gasped in surprise. I became comfortable in his arms and just hugged him back tightly. "I missed you," he breathed into my neck and I chuckled. "I missed you too," I replied as I rubbed his back with my right hand. We stayed like that for a short while before he finally let me go slowly. "How are you?" He asked as he held my hands in both of his. "I am fine," I replied with a small smile on
Married To The Jinx 82 The Shock Of The Evening
ADELE"My artwork?" She asked and I nodded. "Some guys asked for my painting when I got in front of the hotel-," I started panicking as I explained but she cut me off midway. "Oh, those guys. I forgot about them," she replied and I took in a deep breath, waiting for her to continue. "They collected mine as well, saying they had somewhere allocated for each artwork," she added and I released the breath I was holding. "I guess that is how it works then," I said with a smile and she nodded. "Yeah"She faced the stage before turning to look at me again. "I am Veronica," she introduced herself as she stretched her hand which had three rings on them towards me. "Wow," I said out in amazement anyways and her expression turned into one of deep confusion. "You have the same name as my younger sister, that's all," I replied quickly before taking her hand. "I am Adele, Adele Marvin," I said proudly and her eyes widened. "I knew you looked familiar," she said cheerfully with a huge smil
Married To The Jinx 81 Adele's Artwork Might Have Been Stolen
ADELE"He knew my name, it was pretty weird," I came out to Chris as I furrowed my brows at the direction the men had gone in. "Oh?" Chris asked back and I turned to look at him. "Yeah," I nodded and Chris raised a brow. "You realize that is not strange, right?" Chris asked with a chuckle and I frowned in confusion. "And how is it not?" "Because you are pretty popular. At least, a bit." Chris explained before using his index and thumb to hold his jaw as if he was thinking about something."Uhn?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. I am still confused. He brought his focus back to me before explaining more clearly, "You are Mrs. Marvin, remember?" He asked and my mouth went round in shape in realization. "Oh yeah! Yeah, that's true. I almost forgot," I said the last sentence as a silly joke as I chuckled but I don't think Chris understands. He is looking at me in surprise and confusion at the same time. "Come on, I have to get my baggage out of the car," I said as I hit him playful
Married To The Jinx 80 Rest Assured, Mrs. Marvin
ADELEIt's finally a day before the day of the competition and I am very excited about it. Chris is carrying the little baggage I packed into the car. The baggage contains the little necessities I might be needing during my stay there. He returned to the art room and I took my gaze off the covered artwork- that is standing against the wall- to him."I seriously can't peep at it?" Chris asked and I rejected the idea immediately. "No! It is going to be a big surprise," I replied with a tired sigh. "Help me get it out of the house?" I asked and he walked closer to where I stood. "Sure!" He replied before holding the artwork from his side. He tried lifting his side and he dropped it back down instantly. My eyes widened in fear when I heard that slight sound it made against the tiled floor. "Don't you dare hurt that thing, Chris, or I am going to get angry at you," I warned with a frown on my face as I pointed my index finger at Chris and he chuckled. "I seriously don't know why you
Married To The Jinx 79 Hungry For Each Other
ADELEI have moved back into my art room since the moment I started working on this competition project. I don't want Chris to see what I am making or it would ruin the big surprise. The competition or event is in two weeks and Chris has really been helping me a lot. He has been buying all the art supplies I ask for while I collect them from him, just at the door of the art room. Then, I shut the door right in his face. It had been fun to shut the door in his face in the beginning but now, I miss him so much, that I close the door slowly. A knock sounded on the door and I raised my head from the painting quickly. Chris is here. When did he get back from work?I dropped my brush in a can before walking to the door. I pulled it open and Chris's face appeared in front of me. "Hey," I breathed out and he smiled. "Hey," he replied before pushing his hands into his pocket. "Dinner is ready," he added as he took his left hand out of his pocket and pointed behind him. "Oh oh, I will b
