Chapter 17 - Never want this...

If he were to rejoice now, there's no telling when they decided to take back his power and he will once again crumble into despair. He will be vigilant from now on and do what he has to do in order to fully regain his power.

Little Veen just kept quiet beside Hue. He didn't even move even a bit of his muscle. He, too, stared at the woman who was sitting on a chair at the balcony with a troubled-looking face while flipping through her medical report.

He knew how anxious and confused she felt right now due to her strange 'sickness' but there's nothing he could do. She's the wife of his master though, it will be hard to explain to her once she found out about it.

He gazed upon Hue and asked, "Master, if I want to compete for affection with you, will you compete with me?"

Hue glanced at him. He was startled because he never would have expected to be asked such a question.

He chuckled instead, "Why would I compete with you? You're already part of me, someone who I can call family." He replied.

"But that doesn't mean I can fully be trusted." He said, leaving a twisted expression on Hue's face.

Hue rolled his eyes toward the little boy. "Why do you say that? What have you done?" His tone rose a bit than just now.

"I've done nothing. I just want to let you know that I'll be competing for affection with you. Her affection is what I aim for." Little Veen looked deep into the jade blue eyes that kept staring at him, that wanted to swallow him fully.

Hue shook his little shoulders, "Why do you want to compete with me now? Why? You've always been obedient to me and why now you want to make it harder for me?" He asked. He's furious but couldn't really do hurtful things to the little boy. He needed Little Veen to help him.

"If you stay idle, I will do what I can to win her affection." His calm voice made Hue understood his meaning.

Hue chuckled. "Little Veen, are you trying to give me a push? I am not playing around. You can rest assured." He said and patted the little head in front of him.

Little Veen didn't say a word after that. He just stared at his master who was smiling widely at him.

"Then, I will be going now. Make sure you do what you have to do." He turned around and disappeared into thin air.

His action left Hue speechless. What is happening to this child? He's acting strangely. Have they troubled him?

Hue looked up to the sky and glared. 'If you dare to hurt Little Veen, I will turn everything upside down!' He mumbled to himself.

He rose on his feet and looked around, making sure the area was clear. He glanced at the balcony, the woman was still sitting alone with a very serious expression masking her face.

Meanwhile, Jennet massaged her temple as she re-read her medical report. "Capillaries ruptured due to intense sucking. Prevention method, lessen vigorous activities in bed. Practise self-control."

She slapped the report onto the table and looked away from it. Her face turned crimson red.

She shook her head in denial. Ahh! I can't believe this!

She leaned back in the chair and looked up to the sky, exhaling a deep sigh.

"Why is this happening to me?! Lots of unexpected things happened in a short span of time." She groaned as she slumped her head onto the table.

Ever since she moved house, she had always sigh nonstop. She felt so much burdened than before and insecure of things around her. She had even been asked out for a date which she never thought would occur in her single life. Not even one bit!

Even today, she went for a checkup only to find out about such unbelievable diagnosis.

"Ahh, I never want this... I hate misunderstanding!" She groaned as she stomped her feet furiously under the table.

Hue stood hiding behind the curtains in her bedroom, watching her sighing hard. He wanted to reach out for her, took her in his embrace and to relieve all of her worries but, he didn't dare to approach her just yet. He needed the perfect time to appear in front of her for real.

"Wife, don't be so troubled. It was partly my fault." He whispered. "I couldn't control myself..."

He was desperate to have her see him. He tried every trick to have her say his name and he managed to make her do it. When she saw him, he was happy, too happy. But, since she fainted at his sight, he was unhappy again.

Well, he was actually punishing her for her so-called infidelity as well. She dared to keep a smiling face for another man right before his eyes. He was partly unhappy about that as well. He was jealous again. Very jealous!

He 'accidentally' left all those marks on her body, marking her as his territory. He placed all his desire on all of those deep red marks. When she awoke, she thought of their encounter as a wild dream. Again, he was sad. So, he had hidden outside the villa since he had regained his body and he doesn't want to be driven out by his own wife if she found out about everything he had done.

Jennet was feeling so depressed over everything that happened to her since the past few days, so she went to bed early than usual. She just wanted to calm her troubled mind and just forget about everything.

Oblivious of her surrounding, Hue was standing at the end of her bed, looking at her sleeping soundly, defeated by exhaustion over all the turmoil she encountered.

After a few hours, he took off his light blue robe and it disappeared into thin air. He silently went through her wardrobe and took out one of her satin pyjama trouser and put it on.

The so-called long trouser on Jennet was like a knee-length trouser on Hue's tall figure. It was also a bit too tight for him.

He frowned alone as he looked at himself. "This is too short and too tight." He mumbled.

He tried to put on her pyjama shirt but was unable to even buttoned the buttons. He shook his head and took the shirt off. He just got on the bed together with her without any shirts on, exposing his porcelain white chest.

He laid on his side, facing the sleeping woman. His long golden hair was all over the pillow. He moved closer as he placed a hand over her slender waist and whispered into her ear, "Goodnight..."

The sleeping woman was already in deep sleep and in her dream she heard a soft voice wishing her 'goodnight'. Unexpectedly, she smiled in her sleep as she drifted even deeper into slumber.
