Chapter 140 - Trust Me!

Not long after, Charles' car arrived in front of our central hospital. 

Charles quickly brought Jennifer into the ER while covering Jennifer's face because Charles didn't want anyone to take her picture.

After that Charles waited anxiously in the waiting room.

Not long after that, the doctor left the emergency room, Charles immediately asked about Jennifer's condition.

After knowing that Jennifer was okay, Charles went straight in. 

"Dear....". Jennifer said in a weak voice when she saw Charles coming.

Charles sat next to Jennifer saying, "What are you doing? Running away won't solve the problem." 

Jennifer was seen crying while hugging Charles. "I want to marry you, that's why I ran away!". 

Charles patted Jennifer's back gently as he took a deep breath.

"I understand how you feel, but I can't see you going through the same thing my mother did. Not getting your blessing isn't good, honey."

"And I also don't want to live like my Mama who has always been a good wife without getting love from my Papa," Jennifer said firmly.

"Jennifer... You're an adult, don't be like this! Tomorrow I'm going back to London, and I promise a week before your wedding I'll come again!". Charles said as he tried to convince Jennifer.

"Now I will take you home!" Charles said again without waiting for Jennifer's response.

Even though it was heavy, Jennifer still followed Charles' orders obediently.

It didn't take long for Charles' car to enter the main road to Jennifer's house. However, Jennifer asked Charles to park some distance from her house.

Charles immediately agreed to Jennifer's request.

"Honey, please believe me!" Charles said when the car had stopped.

Charles took Jennifer's hand with a gentle expression. Jennifer immediately nodded and kissed Charles on the lips without any warning.

"I will be waiting for you!". Jennifer said after breaking the kiss and then rushed to open the car door.

But before Jennifer got out of the car, Charles pulled his hand and kissed his lips greedily until Jennifer was surprised.

After breaking the kiss, Charles said, "I won't let you go when we're married!".

Jennifer smiled shyly at Charles' words because she was also looking forward to that day.

"Be careful on the road!". Jennifer said before closing the car door after she was outside.

Charles nodded, after which he immediately left Jennifer's housing complex.

Meanwhile, Jennifer immediately returned to the house in the same sneaky way as when she ran away, luckily no one knew about her departure except the maid who was loyal to her. 

Even though she knew Jennifer had run away when she was about to give her food, she stayed in Jennifer's room without telling the others.

"Miss, where are you from?". Asked the maid when she saw Jennifer enter through the window.

"Shhh... Don't be so loud! Mama will hear you later". Jennifer said as she put her index finger on the waiter's lips.

"Where's mom?". Jennifer asked after she closed her bedroom window.

"It's in her room, now you just eat first even though it's cold! Don't worry! No one will know that Miss is gone!". The servant replied worriedly.

After that Jennifer nodded and immediately ate her food voraciously. She was happy because she remembered Charles' promise to her, but there was anxiety again when she imagined how strong a wall Charles had to break down just to be with her.

On the way back to London, Charles kept thinking of Jennifer. At that moment he thought hard, what he would do to thwart Jennifer's marriage without having to make a fuss and trouble for Jennifer.

At the same time, Michael hasn't come back from the office even though it's already six in the afternoon.

While waiting for Michael to come home, Sophia spent time in the kitchen cooking without asking her maid for help.

Just as Sophia was busy in the kitchen, suddenly the bell rang. Sophia was happy to open the door of the house. 

After opening the door, Sophia frowned when she saw the beautiful and sexy woman with shoulder-length blonde hair in front of her while looking at her with a complicated expression.

"Sorry, who are you?". Asked Sophia in a friendly manner.

The girl took off her glasses and replied, "I'm looking for your boss".

"Boss?". Asked Sophia in confusion.

"Isn't this Michael Walton's house?". Asked the girl sarcastically.

Sophia nodded. "Yeah, what do you need with him?"

The girl smiled. "I want to meet him because I miss him!".

Hearing the girl's answer, Sophia's expression darkened.

"Miss? But Michael is not home".

"Yeah... I miss him and I'm sure he misses me too. Well I don't need to say much, then tell him, my name is Joice, and I've come here, and tell him to meet me at the Grand Hotel tonight too!". The girl replied as she put her glasses back on and walked away.

Sophia closed the door harshly and began to think badly of what Joice said, who was so sure that Michael also missed her.

Sophia gritted her teeth while crying in the kitchen while chopping the chicken roughly as if it was the girl's body.

"Who is she? How dare she say my husband must miss her. If Michael is proven to have a relationship with her, I will chop them both up!". Inner Sophia.

Not long after that, from outside the house, there was the sound of Michael's car, instantly Sophia peeked out from behind the window.

Seeing Michael had gone home, Sophia immediately came out of the room to greet him.

Moments later, Michael came into the house, and Sophia came straight to him with a big smile.

"Honey... Are you tired?". Asked Sophia in a soft voice. 

Michael frowned when he saw Sophia's unusual attitude and appearance.

"Honey, you are neat and beautiful like this, where are you going?". Asked Michael.

Sophia took Michael's hand and invited him to sit on the sofa. After that, she helped Michael to take off his suit and tie.

"I'm not going anywhere, I just want to make you happy by dressing up and looking neat and beautiful. Because pleasing the husband is good!". Sophia answered in a soft voice.

Michael immediately smiled, he then pulled Sophia into a hug and said, "How can I stay outside the house for a long time, while at home there is a beautiful angel waiting for me, just seeing her sweet smile makes all my tiredness disappear in an instant, you really really piss me off."

Sophia was happy to hear Michael's words as well as annoyed when she remembered the girl's words. After that, Sophia looked up to see Michael's face that looked limp. "I've cooked your favorite food. So, you better take a shower now before eating!".

"I want to be bathed by you!" Michael whispered in a seductive voice and mischievous manner.

"Be careful when you speak! Because there are several maids here. So, you better go take a shower, or else...". Before Sophia could finish her words, Michael immediately got up from his seat and immediately rushed to the room.

Michael was taken aback when he saw his immaculate room with a soothing aromatherapy scent, and freshly changed sheets. He smiled widely.

"My wife is the best, she knows how to make her husband feel happy and comfortable." Michael thought.

After thinking, Michael went straight to the bathroom excitedly. His tiredness immediately disappeared because of his wife's gentle and caring attitude.

After bathing and wearing clothes, Michael rushed out to eat with Sophia.

In the dining room, Sophia didn't talk much to Michael and that made Michael a little confused. 

After finishing eating and clearing the dining table together, Sophia immediately took Michael to their room. Michael also followed Sophia obediently.

On the bed, Sophia lay on Michael's shoulder. Instantly Michael immediately glanced at Sophia who looked very spoiled while asking, "Honey, are you trying to tease me?".

Sophia didn't answer Michael's question, instead, she gave Michael a book that Michael used to read before going to bed.

Michael frowned as he took the book and began to continue his unfinished reading without any further questions.

When Sophia felt that things had calmed down and relaxed, her heart had started to cool down, instantly Sophia felt it was time for her to ask Michael about Joice.

Why did she delay asking, because she didn't want to ask in a state of burning emotion of jealousy, because she knew that it would only cause commotion or discomfort?

"This is called a surefire move to save domestic harmony!". Sophia thought while taking a deep breath.

"Dear... !" Sophia looked up to see Michael who was focused on reading.

"Yes?".

"This afternoon there was a beautiful girl who was looking for you, she said she missed you, and you missed her too!".

Hearing Sophia's story, Michael lowered the book he was reading then looked at Sophia in surprise, "Who?".
