Jenna returned to the bedroom, where she brushed her teeth and washed her face before laying on the bed. She remembered the fairy tale she heard when she slept and decided to look it up online. About an hour later, Quinn entered the bedroom. When he stepped out of the shower, Jenna showed him the phone display. [Were you telling me a fairy tale when you helped me change?] Quinn stopped drying his hair and said, “Are you a kid that needs to be pampered?” Jenna darted a suspicious look at the man. While withdrawing her phone, she considered that Quinn was not the kind who would tell fairy tales to lull someone to sleep. Besides, the version of Little Red Riding Hood she heard was far too violent and was more likely to inspire nightmares. Quinn seemed to have no work to deal with. After drying his hair, he lifted the blanket and climbed into the bed. The bed was large enough to fit five people. Jenna lay on the other side of the bed and put a barrier of pillows in
“Change into another top. One that covers your waist,” Quinn told her. [In that case, I’m not going. I didn’t want to go out anyway!] Jenna smirked before turning back into the bedroom. “There’s a VCA outlet at Moonshine Mall,” Quinn’s voice sounded behind her. “You like their ‘Galaxy’ collection, don’t you?” “It just so happens that they have a ‘Neptune’ necklace in their main branch in Frohnier. It was just shipped to their outlet this morning at eight o’clock.” It was enough to make Jenna stop. VCA’s Galaxy series was a limited edition collection. She made a point to collect them and had managed to collect three sets over the last few years. However, Shawn had someone take the jewelry set away when cleaning out the Radcliff house. “It’s hot outside today. You’ll burn if you wear a tank top." Quinn glanced at her exposed waist, “Change into a t-shirt.” He did not want strangers to stare at her waist when they went to the mall. Jenna grazed her fingers. Her
The manager glanced at Jenna’s fingers before telling her, “Wait a minute. Let me get some lubricant for you.” All this time, all she needed was some lubricant to remove it? She was delighted knowing that she would be able to take off the ring soon. When the manager returned with the tools, she immediately sat up straight on the couch. The manager smeared the lubricant all over her ring finger and into the gap between the ring and her finger. He tried for a long time until Jenna’s fingers was red from the friction but still could not take it off. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Forester, but the wedding ring fits your finger a little too well," the manager expressed helplessly. Jenna wanted to tell him that she was not Mrs. Forester, but she could not utter a sound. She could not get her phone out to type either so all she could do was to glare hatefully at the wedding ring. Perfect fit, he says? It did not hurt when she was wearing it but it was impossible to take off! When Quin
When Quinn was putting on the other slipper for Jenna, he could feel her body tensing. He looked up and saw Jenna looking back at him. A few strands of hair fell over her eyes, covering them. "What?" He seemed to have sensed her displeasure and looked down at the slippers on her feet. "You don't like these slippers? Put them on for now, you can pick out another pair later." Jenna's vocal cords were still hurt so she could not respond. She rose from her seat wearing the slippers and walked to the elevator. Quinn packed her high heels into a shoebox for her, then he carried the box and followed her out. After entering the elevator, Jenna clicked the button to the ground floor. It looked like she was done shopping. The man reacted with a faint look. When Jenna was shopping, she did not feel the passage of time. It was only after she stepped out of the mall that she realized that it was already dark outside... It turned out that they had been in the mall for nearly
Quinn glanced at the rock candy behind the glass counter and said in a low voice, “Let me get the candied strawberry.” “Alright.” The vendor immediately grabbed the candied strawberry and put it in a bag for Quinn. “Even if your wife can’t eat it, at least let her have a bite to get a taste of the sweetness.” "Thank you." Quinn set a hundred-dollar bill on the counter and walked away with the rock candy. “Hold up sir, let me get your change…” "No need.” The vendor was overjoyed to get a hundred dollars for a single stick of rock candy. After putting the money into the drawer, he poked his head out again to look at the man who was walking away. He frowned and mumbled to himself, “Is it just me or does he look familiar? I must have seen him somewhere..." Jenna looked at her slippers as she walked. It was a sandal with a circle of black floral adornment attached to its top. The soles were soft and cushiony so it was very comfortable to walk around in. She kicked it
"Wow, this guy only took one bite and he passed out already?” "My throat hurts just looking at it..." The parents crowded around saw one of the challengers only taking one bite of the Devil’s Spicy Noodle before passing out. They were so frightened that they took their child and scuttled away. Even the others crowded around drew a few steps back. There were many people drawn to the commotion, but only a few dared to try. Upon noticing Jenna staring at the plushie inside the store, the staff went to her. "Miss, would you like to try?" Jenna glanced behind her. Quinn had already caught up to her. He glanced at the banner, then at the cat plushie hung inside the shop. He frowned slightly. "It's just a plushie, you can easily get one at the claw machine.” "Sir, you can’t find this in a claw machine." The staff stated with a smile, "This is a limited edition plushie that you can only find in our store.” "How much for it?” The staff shook his head and stated polite
The man who was speaking to Jenna approached and gaped at Quinn with his eyes wide open. "You're amazing! I am the champion of our state’s spicy food competition but I can’t even handle one bite of this Devil’s Spicy Noodle. You’re already on your second bite…” Jenna had only intentionally lured Quinn into the store to put him in a tough situation. Upon hearing what the challenger said, she sat up straight from the chair. Quinn was not a picky eater, but he was not very trained with spicy food either. The challenger claimed that he was the champion at eating spicy food but even he could not handle a second bite of the Devil’s Spicy Noodle. How did Quinn… A thin layer of sweat was forming on his forehead and his neck was slightly reddening. The spiciness was getting to him but he refused to let it show. Something suddenly came over Jenna and she reached forward to take his fork away. Quinn held onto the fork tightly. He coughed before insisting. "I'm almost done, it’s not
Quinn became so infuriated he could only laugh. He took Jenna’s hand and shifted toward a wall, then he stood in front of her. "Jenna, why are you so fixated on this? "I explained it before. Nothing is going on between me and Ivy after we broke up. You got hurt this time because I got careless and I came here to see you because I care about you. I took you shopping because I saw you were in a bad mood, not to make up for anything.” Jenna’s head was spinning when she asked, [Why do you care about me?] Quinn fell speechless for several seconds. Then, he caressed her chin. “We’re married by law, shouldn’t it go without saying that I should care about you?” They were married, but it was only part of an agreement. Jenna still remembered the reason he married her. [I feel you're lying to me, you care a lot about Ivy.] She hung her head low and began typing, [A person's eye never lies…] Inside those pictures, the way he looked at Ivy was full of tenderness and affectio
