Chapter 34 - Playing A Dangerous Game (2/2)

He looked away and sighed hard, ”Wife is so mean even in public.” He murmured.

Jennet glared at him with a murderous glint flashing in her eyes. She looked at the handsome face that was looking away from meeting with hers.

”What did you say just now? I am mean?” Her tone became even colder. She cracked her knuckles at what he said.

Hearing her knuckles cracking, Hue cried silently. He glanced back at her and shook his head in denial.

”No no. I didn't say anything.” He coughed and rearranged the shopping bags in his hands.

When Jennet was about to nag at him, someone called her from behind.

”Miss Lockhart?”

Jennet turned her body around and a smile immediately replaced the angry face of hers. An old woman walked towards them with her walking stick.

”Mrs Parker?” She frowned at what she saw. Amazingly, she remembered the name. When did she last saw her? Oh right, about a few days ago.

”Did I interrupt anything?” Damela Parker asked with a smile.

Jennet smiled and shook her head. ”No, you didn't interrupt anything.” She replied.

Damela Parker turned her gaze towards the man standing behind her.

She smiled at Jennet and asked, ”My my, who could this handsome man be? Is he your husband?”

She knew exactly who that man is but she just wanted to know of Jennet's answer to her question.

Jennet glanced back at Hue who was smiling widely at her. In his eyes says, 'Tell her! Tell her about our relationship!'

”Umm, he's my... He's my distant relative!” She said while clearing her throat.

She doesn't know why but she felt so nervous to tell the old woman about Hue. Even now, she was flustered. In front of older people, she just couldn't lie to them.

She still remembered about telling her that she's not married yet. If she were to say that he's her husband, the woman might get the wrong impression on her for having a flash marriage.

”Oh, I see.” Damela smiled. ”I thought he's your husband. I thought you two are married since you looked so intimate. I am sorry if I got the wrong idea.” Damela added and apologized at the same time.

”No, no. Don't apologize. He's always like that.” Said Jennet. She was the one who was looking so troubled now.

She glanced towards Hue. But, he was already pulling a very long and sour face over her denial of their relationship.

Hue took the car keys from her hand and immediately entered her car after tossing all the shopping bags at the back seat. He sat in the car without looking back at Jennet. He was clearly pissed.

His actions made Jennet felt guilty. She knew she had toyed with his feeling. She played such a dangerous game with a man like him.

Well, in the store earlier, she had claimed him as her husband in the public but now when someone really asked about him, she denied their status instead and hurt his feeling over and over again.

She looked back at Damela and said, ”Well, what I said just now is not what I really meant.” She tried to explain.

Pon! Pon!

Hue hit the horn. Jennet turned her head and glared at him. What is he trying to do now? Can't he see I am still having a conversation with Mrs Parker?!

”Seems like the two of you are in a rush. I am sorry if I had delayed your schedule today.” Damela changed the topic after hearing the horn from the car.

Jennet smiled apologetically at her. ”I am so sorry that I cannot stay any longer to chat with you but I had to go now. I...”

Pon! Pon!

Hue kept on hitting the horn.

Damela just gestured at Jennet to immediately go to her car. ”Don't worry about me, dearie. We will meet again soon.” She smiled.

Jennet nodded her head and waved her hand. Then, she turned around and entered her car.

Hue was saying something and she rolled her eyes at him. In an instant, she saw Jennet knock his head before she started the engine and drove away.

Damela chuckled alone, watching them bickering among themselves. ”She's really strong indeed.”
