Chapter 65 - Difficulty (1/2)

What could go wrong with that call? Hue couldn't understand her anger at all.

”Wife...” Hue whispered softly and approached her, still limping. He was about to tap her shoulder but she had already walked away from him, looking so troubled.

”I am sorry.” Jennet apologized, in a softened tone. ”I'm sorry for getting angry at you.” She added. Her expression turned gloomy when she apologized. The air around her turned darker and gotten heavier by the minute.

She didn't look into his eyes as she spoke out to him but walked out to the balcony. Outside, she sat down on a chair and looked out to the sky. She was lost in thought. Her stare was blank and for once, Hue couldn't read her mind.

Hue peeped at her from behind the door. He felt unhappy and sad. He couldn't read her mind because her mind was as blank as a white sheet of paper. He couldn't find anything in her head!

He also didn't know why he couldn't connect to her mind when she was in her blank state of mind. Normally, he didn't have any trouble entering other human's head, to know what's in there. But, she could repel his entry. There was an invisible wall in her head, guarding her mind against any breaches.

Hue was about to approach her but then, the doorbell rang.

”Room service!” A voice was heard from outside.

Hue grunted softly but he still went to greet the door with his head and face covered in towels. He took their meals and immediately closed the door after giving the runner some tips.

Hue placed their meals on the table and took off the towels from his head. He approached Jennet at the balcony and she had just given out a big sigh.

Her demeanour turned entirely different. There was no more dark aura around her but he found flames of determination burning within her.

Hue frowned alone. 'What happened to her? She's so determined but what for?'

”Wife, dinner is ready!” He called out to her.

Jennet turned around and stared at him deeply. ”You're not so bad.” She spoke out of the blue. Then, she walked towards him, still staring deeply at his face.

”You're not getting ugly either the more I look at you.” She added in a soft tone.

Hue glared at her, ”What are you talking about? I am getting more handsome the more you stare at me.” He said, with a sullen tone.

Jennet let out a small chuckle. ”Well, that's better actually. The more handsome you are, the formidable you become.” She said. In her words, there were meaning hidden in them.

Hue raised an eyebrow, ”Well, I don't understand. I am already a formidable being. Rest assured. You won't get bullied by anyone out there as long as I around.” He said, patting his chest, looking proud.

Jennet chuckled but a sinister one. She looked as if what he said was not serious enough. ”Well, I understand, O God of Comfort.” She said.

Hue pulled a long face after listening to what she said. She was not being serious and she acted like his identity was just a bluff.

”My love, you sound like you still don't trust me. I am really a God. A good one. Please don't laugh at this matter as if it is a light one.” He said, advising her.

Jennet nodded her head, obviously oblivious and thought he was just trying to make his joke sounds real.

”Okay, I get it, hubby.” She said, putting a stop to his anger that seeped even thicker under his calm facade. ”Let's fill our stomachs for now.” She shifted their conversation.

They had their dinner and after that had their plates cleared. Then, Hue took his bath while Jennet was sitting alone in front of the TV watching the news. However, her attention was not on what appeared on the TV.

Shortly after that, she turned off the TV and climbed the bed. She laid on her side, facing the balcony and tried to get a night of sleep.

But, shortly after that, her phone rang. She glanced at it on top of the table beside her.

Luca Tybelg was the name appearing on the screen. She let out a heavy sigh.

'Great, another problem that needs to be settled.' She mumbled.

Stepping out of the bed, she grabbed the phone and head out for the balcony. She glanced back to the room but Hue was still inside the bathroom.

”Hello,” She greeted the caller when she held the phone to her ear.

”Hello Jennet,” Luca greeted her. He was excited in his tone.

”Umm, are you busy?” He asked and sat down on a chair back at his place.

”I was about to get some sleep but I'm awake now. Why did you call? Anything urgent?” Jennet asked. She glanced back inside the room. There was no sign of Hue coming out of the bathroom yet.

If he found out, he would surely throw a fit about it. She wouldn't know how she will be able to comfort him. Intimate again? Pfft, not going to happen for the third time.
