Chapter 84 - Familiar (Part 1) (1/2)

”I'll be happy to carry you, my lovely wife.” Hue answered in a chivalrous tone.

He carried her in his arms and into the bathroom. They took a nice bath together and not doing anything else that could bring embarrassment to the wife.

After their bath and after dressing neatly in matching casual clothes, Jennet tugged on Hue's sleeve, attracting his attention.

”What is it, my love?” Hue asked, smiling even widely at her. He coiled his arms around her slender waist while staring into her eyes.

Jennet looked up to him, ”Umm, can you come with me and meet Luca Tybelg?” She asked as she smoothened the crease on his shirt.

”I told him the truth about us,” She explained. ”...and I want to bring you along to see him.” She said coyly.

Hue smiled and tilted his head to the side, ”Of course, I'll come along. Even if you don't ask, I'll still bother you to bring me along.”

Jennet gave him a soft pound over his chest, getting even more bashful. However, no words of protest came out of her mouth.

Hue leaned forwards and kissed her head lovingly. ”You've done the right thing, my lovely wife. I hope afterwards, he won't pester you.”

Jennet laughed after hearing his words. She gazed upon his face.

”Jealous?” She asked, teasing him.

Hue rolled his eyes at her, ”Well, of course. Every husband will get jealous if their wives meet with another man. No one can just keep quiet about it even the coolest man.” He spoke.

Jennet smiled even wider at him, ”Thank you for your jealousy. I'll treasure them.”

”Are you making fun of me? You're a bully! Don't make fun of your husband, please!” Hue pouted and looked away.

”I'm not making fun of you. I'm appreciating you and I'm loving you even more. Give me a kiss if you're not angry.” Jennet wound her arms around his neck, slightly tugging on him for a kiss.

He wanted to keep making a sour face at her however when she pleaded him, his heart melts. He abandoned the thought of pouting and gave her the kiss she asked for.

The same morning at Luca's house...

”Luca, are you alright?” Felix handed him a mug of hot coffee. There was a concerned look on his face.

Luca took the mug and gazed out, over the glassed window. He was looking so unkempt after waking up this morning. There were dark circles under his eyes and cowlicks were everywhere on his head.

Felix placed a plate of croissants in front of him. ”Best eat your breakfast before we go out to meet Jennet.” He said softly when there were no replies from him.

”What do you think of me?” Luca asked before Felix could move away from the room.

Felix raised his head, thinking for a while. Not sure what he thinks of.

Then he said, ”You're amazing.”

It was an honest answer from a man of few words. However, it didn't really help Luca to feel much better.

But still, Luca said his appreciation to his answer, ”Thanks,”

He tapped his fingers slowly on the mug. He wasn't satisfied enough with Felix's answer. He looked at Felix with anticipation.

”Do you think I'm annoying?” He asked.

Felix's brows knitted, an expression that hardly shown on his face. ”What do you mean?”

”Well, for all of the years that you have been my personal assistant, do you find me annoying? Let's just a say, a nosey person or overbearing, perhaps?” Luca spoke out with one hand moving in rhythm to what he tried to explain.

Felix straightened his back. He stared back at the messy looking man.

”I assure you, you have never been an annoying person since the first day I started working with you. But, the only annoying thing about you will be your girlfriends.” Felix explained honestly in his usual flat tone.

Felix had never liked the women that ever dated his boss. No one among them is sensible enough. Most of them cling to Luca because of his wealth and fame. As one of the successful bachelor in the country, everyone tried their best to win him.
