Chapter 97 - Twin (1/2)

It was already 9 pm when Jennet returned back to the villa. She aligned from the car and stepped in with her handbag. When she walked towards the stairs, from the corner of her eyes she sensed a figure on the sofa.

Turning her head towards the living-room, she saw a tall figure curling on the sofa. She halted in her steps and returned back to the entrance and hit on the lights.

The villa lit up instantly. Then, she approached the person on the sofa, pushing on his shoulder.

”Hue, wake up!” She said, softly.

Hue opened his eyes and blinked repeatedly, adjusting his sight to the bright lights. Then, he saw her face who had a concerned look on.

He smiled widely at her and pulled her over the neck. The action caused her to bend down a bit.

”Welcome home!” He said.

Jennet knelt by his side and smiled at him as she placed her handbag on the floor.

Staring back at him she said, ”I'm home.” Her tone was softer than usual.

”Have you had dinner?” She asked him softly. Her eyes gazed down his flat stomach.

”Not yet. I'm waiting for you to come home and have you cook something for me.” He replied before smiling widely. With her help, he sat down on the sofa.

”I need a kiss!” He requested. ”As an appetizer.” He added. He needed her kiss to suppress the hunger he had.

Jennet chuckled, ”Come on then, get your kiss from me.” she said and closed her eyes. Her mood was exceptionally good and she would not get angry so easily if he keeps asking for more.

Hue took the chance and pulled her face, kissing her intensely. His tongue invaded her mouth which she responded by twirling her tongue around his.

Shortly after that, Hue pulled his face back and licked his lips as a frown appeared on his forehead.

”Hmm, I tasted traces of watermelon in your mouth. Fresh watermelon.” He said, then he kissed her again wanting to make sure he tasted the same taste.

”Where did you go after work?” He asked after he pulled his face away from her face. Judging the freshness of the watermelon taste in her mouth, she must have been somewhere.

Jennet's face was already blushing when she sat by his side as close as possible. She rolled her tongue all around her teeth but there was nowhere she could taste the watermelon juice that she drank at the bar about an hour ago. She even washed her mouth before going home.

”I went to meet a friend at a bar in the city with one of my female coworkers, Marvina. You've met her before at the police station.” She answered him after admitting that her husband was indeed so keen and accurate.

”Hmm...” Hue smiled and nudged her softly on the side, ”Continue...”

Jennet rested her head on his shoulder, ”My friend, Mira, finally apologized to me for all of the bad things she did and for all of the harsh words she had said to me before.”

”Oh, your friend was mean to you before?” Hue asked.

He didn't know much about her friends. All of her friends that he knew so far would be those four naughty ladies and also Marvina. Aside from that, he had no clue. There was also that Not Important person on the phone before but he couldn't verify if they are close friends or just family-related.

Jennet smiled and said, ”Yes, but now we're friends. She's going to get married soon so she wanted to clear all the rift between us.”

”Well, congratulations to her. May she finds her utmost happiness with the man who will be her husband.”

”Thanks,” Jennet chuckled. She took his hand and intertwined them together. ”I can finally find peace.”

It was unexpected that Mira suddenly apologized to her for everything. It was even more shocking to know of her marriage with her boyfriend, Danny Stanford.

Both Jennet and Marvina was dumbfounded by the news which Mira herself announced with tears on her face. Jennet didn't know of the reason for her tears. But, she still wishes for the best for her marriage.

”Does this friend knows of your marriage as well?” Hue asked in a soft whisper.

Jennet shook her head. ”I didn't tell her. It's best for me not to say anything at the moment. You know, we have to handle these matters one at a time.” She explained and smiled at him.

She didn't tell Mira of her marital status yet. Only Marvina, Susan and Luca know of her status. She didn't want to surprise everyone at the moment. Let time do it's work slowly. Everyone will find out eventually.

”My dear lovely wife...” Hue opened his mouth after a long pause.

Jennet glanced at him and nudged him. ”Hmm?” She hummed as if asking him 'what?'.

”I am famished.” He admitted.

Jennet chuckled before him. ”Oh, my poor baby is waiting for the main course?”

”Yes, this poor baby is waiting for the mummy to cook for some yummy main course. This baby had finished with the appetizer long ago.” Hue answered her, mimicking the act of a little kid and acted cute before her.

Jennet laughed by his side. ”Second appetizer.” She said. She tilted her head to the side and kissed him. Then she let go of his lips.

”Tasty.” Hue complimented. Her willingness for the kiss was unexpected. But, Hue was so happy that she did.

”Can you walk to the kitchen?” Jennet asked him as she took her handbag from the floor. She was in guilt for the cause of his injury.

”I can manage it now.” Hue said, assuring her. He stood up and walked slowly by her side towards the kitchen and then he sat down on one of the chairs with the help from her.

Silence enveloped the kitchen while Jennet busied herself with the pans and so on. She was swift and silent. Moving here and there, taking something out of the fridge then took another thing from the cabinets. Her movements were so amusing and Hue smiled as he kept watching her.

”Honey, does Luca trouble you at work today?” Hue asked out of the blue breaking the dam of silence.

”He didn't because I didn't see him coming for work. Even his personal assistant was not around. They may have been on a sudden business trip as always.” Jennet explained and took an oval plate from the dish rack.

”Oh, that's great. I don't even want you to be around a man like him. He's so sly.” Hue said, bad-mouthing Luca.

”Oh, can I assume that you had fallen for his slyness? You were so happy to accept the duel before.”

”I accept the duel because I want to prove my love to you. He is the one who is not being honest to the duel. I am innocent and will always be innocent.”

”Since you're innocent, stop talking about him. It's time to eat.” Jennet turned around and placed a nicely roasted seabass fillets topped with tartar sauce on a nice oval plate before his eyes.

”Hope you like it.” She said and handed a fork to him. ”I've cut the fillets so you just poke on it and put it inside your mouth.” She added before her husband could ask for a knife.

Hue poked on one and stuffed it inside his mouth. His eyes gleamed the moment he savoured the taste.

”Hmm, this is so good. Here, try it.” He put one inside her mouth.

Jennet munched it silently and smiled at him, ”It's tasty.”

The two of them took their turn to feed each other until they finished their meal.
