Later that evening, Hugo heard the sound of two people conversing near his door.
“We should have bought some hot soup at my favorite restaurant for Hugo. They have a soup there that could relieve colds.” Hugo heard a mellow and sweet voice, it belonged to the woman who could make his heart beat.
“I bought some ingredients. We can just cook for him.” Alexander raised the paper bag he was holding. “Oh! Is that so then let me ring the doorbell.” Jingfei reached her finger and before it could contact the small button, the door suddenly opened and a young man with his messy hair and sweaty appearance, popped out behind the door. Hugo was wearing a thick sweat shirt and pants. On his right hand was a thick blue blanket.
“Go..ood Evening!” He greeted the two
After the call ended, Jingfei went to get Kuro’s food and water. As she was scooping the cat food, she took a glance at the tom cat, who was sitting on the long sofa, giving himself a bath. “Right, I should go take him to the vet tomorrow.” Jingfei mumbled and soon as she was done with Kuro’s food, she then went closer to the sink and filled the container with water.“Baby, dinner!” Jingfei shouted as she walked slowly towards the corner of her hallway and carefully placed the two containers down. She then stood up and took a glance at Kuro who was still sitting on the sofa. Jingfei sighed as she went closer to the tomcat and took him from the sofa.“You’re not hungry?” She asked as they went back to where she placed his containers. Once Jingfei had placed Kuro down, the tomcat began eating his f
The sun was already beaming brightly through the glass window on Jingfei’s room when Alexander woke up from his deep slumber. He spared a glance at the queen size bed beside him and the figure of the woman who was using the bed was already gone, the beddings and pillows were already well kept.Alexander stretched his arms and hips before he stood up and tidied up the beddings and mattress on the floor. He made sure that the blanket he used was folded neatly and placed it on top of Jingfei’s bed along with the two huge pillows.He then walked towards the wall and just like what Jingfei did last night, Alexander pressed the button and the hidden compartment appeared. Alexander went back to carry the mattress and slid it back to where it was placed along with the thick beddings and pillows.After he c
As Lucien was having his coffee as he sits on the long sofa in his living room, with an overlooking view of his garden.The man’s phone suddenly rang, he quickly picked it up and answered the call, “What?” He uttered without even taking a glimpse on who the caller was.“Is that how you speak to your mother?” The firm and stern tone of his mother’s voice echoed on the man’s ear.“I’m sorry, Mother. I thought that you were my secretary.” Lucien apologies and sips from the cup.“Where are you right now?” Madame Alarie asked.“I’m at t
It’s already at the end of the month and it’s been three days have passed since Jingfei brought Kuro to his vet and had the chance to visit Alexandria and Nickel on the building that Lucien owns, and it's been also three days since the man got reprimanded by his father to stop courting Jingfei.Currently, Jingfei was sitting on the chair near the counter of the restaurant as she stared at the magazine where Alexander’s interview was printed.The honking noise of the cars on the highway, the noise that came from the waiters and waitresses as they ran back and forth as they clean and seat up the tables, and chairs didn’t bother Jingfei at all as she just focused on reading evy letters and words on Alexander’s answer on the interviewer’s questions.“You know that th
Hugo raised his hand, formed it into a fist and covered his lips as he cleared his throat while calmly looking at the young lady in front of him, “Is your vision getting worse, Elite? I think you better need to visit your ophthalmologist!” His voice was calm, no sign of nervousness in it.The young woman just chuckled before she looked at the waiter who had been standing beside them for a couple of minutes. “Just get him a cup of coffee and a strawberry cheesecake.” The waiter repeated what the young lady ordered before he excused himself.“You may fool everybody but you two can’t fool me. I am your younger cousin who has been bugging you two since I was still a small pea.” Stirring her coffee, Alexandria blurted without sparing a glance at the man.Hugo st
As they were having their dinner, a servant came and excused herself as she handed the phone to the Madame, “I’m sorry for interrupting your dinner, Madame Margaret but your phone has been ringing.” The servant uttered as she let go of the phone when the Madame took it. “Thank you. You may go now!” The servant slightly bowed her head down and left the dining area. The Madame glanced at the screen and saw that it was Alexander who was calling her. “Who is that?” Monsieur Heroux asked as he glanced at his wife, “It’s your son.” She replied and swiped the answer button.
Once Jingfei was relieved from crying, Alexander, who went out for a minute, came back with a glass of water. He lowered his body to level the young lady as he helped her drink.“Are you okay now?” Alexander asked, placing the glass on the floor.Jingfei slowly nodded her head while wiping her nose, “I'm fine.” She briefly answered as she used her hand as a support when she stood up. Alexander also helped her as he grabbed her arm.Alexander stood still as he watched the woman wipe the side of her eyes. “Are you sure that you are okay now?” He questioned again, making sure that she is really okay. He wants to prepare his heart again for another emotional outburst.“Yes, I’m sure that I’m okay. Sorry that you have to s
“Should we retire for now?” Li Wei muttered as he stared at the chessboard. They have been playing for almost thirty minutes since their first born had gone to bed. “It’s already late, honey!” He spoke again and Lihua moved her chess piece before staring at her husband.“Would you like some milk?” She questioned before raising from her seat. Li Wei nodded his head and extended his hands to pick the chess piece. “I’d love to. Thank you honey.” Lihua proceeded towards the kitchen to make two cups of milk while Li Wei tidy the table they had used. As soon as Lihua finished making their beverage, she went back to the table where she saw her husband staring at the window of the plane. “A penny for your thoughts?” She asked while placing Li Wei’s cup on the table. The woman then sat back on her chair while staring at her husband. “I was thinking, once we arrive in France, where do yo
