Chapter 80 - Calls (1/2)

A week had passed since the trip to Country N. Everyone's schedules started to get busy. Most of them doing overtime when the second group went for their trip.

During that one week, Jennet had been in bliss. Luca didn't bother her because he had always had meetings and went on-site inspections to each of the factions that he handles.

As for Mira, she had been on her incognito mode ever since the trip ended. Her behaviour changes as well. She didn't find fault with Jennet. She spent most of her time, worming in her office, making herself busy with paperwork.

Also, the same man that they saw tailing her at the hotel in Country N had always appeared to meet her, asking her to go out with him.

At the moment, Mira's schedule was pretty much preoccupied with Danny Stanford, her man as what Susan told them before.

Mira spent her next hours running away from him as soon as she finishes with her shift each day. She seemed to have tasted the karma befallen upon her over her unstoppable approach towards Luca before.

On the other hand, it was a different story for Jennet. She had spent her days, coaxing her husband. After her return from Country N, she found her husband fuming at her for no reason.

Whenever she asked the cause, he would always pull a sour face and blame her insensibility. He kept talking about her cheating behind his back during her trip. Although she had explained herself, Hue refused to listen.

He refused to sleep with her when night falls. He didn't bother her and slept in the guest room downstairs. He even refused to cook for her since last week!

At the moment, it was the continuation of his unstoppable sulking drama.

Jennet took off the apron and placed it on the preparation counter. She raised her head, stealing a glanced at the unkempt Hue, who had his back at her.

Hue refused to comb his long hair, turning his hair into a serious-looking haystack. He even refused to eat which resulted in his loss of weight. He looked even thinner and his skin gotten duller than before she went for the trip.

Jennet went to him and sat in front of him. Hue turned his face to the side, unwilling to see her face. His action was intentional and he harboured hatred towards the thought of seeing her going out with Luca Tybelg in Country N.

”Husband, can we talk?” Jennet asked softly. She tilted her head to the side, staring deeply at him.

He didn't reply to her. He kept silent and stayed mum before her. His expression, sulky, was readable by Jennet's keen eyes.

”Husband, what should I do to make you stop getting angry at me?” Jennet asked him another question. ”I honestly do not know what I had done to make you so angry like this.”

Again, Hue didn't give her any replies. His face was as black as charcoal. Anger fumed from his entire being.

”Husband,” Jennet pulled on his chin facing her. Her heart ached when he swatted her hand and he turned his whole body around, refusing to look at her.

Jennet stood up and moved to look at his sour face. ”Hubby...” She pleaded and sat in front of him. ”Don't ignore me, please.”

Hue put on deaf ears. He looked away with a little grunt. He stormed out of the kitchen and disappeared inside the guest room.

What on Earth made him so angry at her? He didn't even listen to her explanation. He accused her of cheating behind his back with Luca Tybelg. All his accusations were as if he had been there with her during the trip. But, he wasn't there and she didn't even see him.

Jennet sighed hard. How can she persuade him to believe in her again?

She didn't even want to be misunderstood by her own husband because it exhausted her just explaining the truth over and over again. But in the end, he refused to believe her.

She went to the guest room and knocked on the door, ”Husband, let's eat dinner together. I've prepared yummy foods. You haven't had anything since yesterday morning.”

There was a total silence coming from inside the room. There was no sound of footsteps approaching the door.

Jennet turned the doorknob and gently pushed the door open. She poked her head in, looking around. But there was no sign of Hue in the room, not even his shadows.

”Husband?” She called out and stepped in before closing the door gently behind her.

She headed for the bathroom but the door was locked from inside. She cupped her ear on the door. However, there was only silence she heard.

She knocked on the door, ”Husband, are you in there?” She asked.

Inside the bathroom, Hue sat on the floor, hugging his knees with his face on top of his knee caps. He refused to move to get the door. He refused to listen to her sweet nothing words.

But, shortly after that, the door swung open, ”Aha, there you are husband.”

He looked up and found her smiling widely at him. There was a bunch of keys in her hand in which, he assumed, she had used to unlock the door to get to him.

Jennet knelt beside him looking so sad. Her heart ached so so much at his refusal to even speak with her. He had been on cold war with her and it had been a week already.

”Hubby,” Jennet gently called out for him. She took his hands in hers, ”Let's eat dinner together. Okay, honey?” She asked for approval.

Since a week ago, she had been calling him with lots of intimate names from husband, hubby, honey, baby, darling and so on. But he kept ignoring her. He refused to listen to her and always created a barrier between them.

”Leave me alone.” He growled at her and turned his face to the side. His action made Jennet unhappy.

”Honey, don't push me away, please. I've apologized and I have been honest with you this entire time.” Jennet said, trying her hardest to make him understand.

Hue didn't move. He still makes himself a frozen statue beside her. Ignoring all of her pleas will teach her a lesson not to underestimate the promises she made with him.

He wanted her to deliver to her promises and not just simply promising him empty promises. He wanted her to totally have no relationship with Luca Tybelg. Not even as coworkers!

His jealousy knows no bounds when it comes to her. He hated to see her mingling with another man. He wanted to occupy her world. Only him, her husband can spoil her.

No other men allowed to even bat an eye on her!

Having no response from Hue, Jennet retracted herself back.

”Fine, if you want to be left alone, I'll leave you alone. Take as much time you want, I'll not bother you.” She said and her face turned even more gloomy. She stepped out from the bathroom and walked out of the bedroom.

Jennet sighed alone and went to the kitchen. Since last week, she had been eating alone, sleeping alone, waking up alone. Everything had been her alone.

After appeasing her hungry stomach, she took a quick shower and put on her pyjama. She was about to go to sleep when her phone rang loudly by her side.
