Chapter 25 - Luring Him

"Hue?"

Jennet appeared at the kitchen entrance with a confused looking face. She stood gaping at the rare sight, staring at a real, living man, cooking in the kitchen. She had never seen one in real life and the one before her was much more handsome than those men who appeared in the cooking show on the TV. She had the dream to see one cooking in her kitchen and she really had the chance of actually seeing one who even claimed himself as her husband. All in one!

Hue glanced back at her as soon as he heard her voice from his back. He immediately turned off the fire and hopped happily towards her.

"Wife, you're home!" He snuggled to her and even pulled her into a tight embrace that had the power to crush her body. He nuzzled his high nose in her hair, messing with it. He was really like a puppy who welcomed its owner home with envious wags on its tail.

Jennet gasped for a breather and hit his back continuously, asking for him to let her go. "Let me go! I can't breathe!" She said desperately. Her lungs were parched once again for air. The man's strength was unimaginable.

Hue let her go but then his nose twitched as he leaned closer and smelt her hair. His face turned sour in a sudden. He glared at the face below him and pulled a long face. "Your hair had a lingering smell of a man. Where have you been?" He asked in a cold tone. There was a hint of jealousy in his voice.

Jennet frowned at him. She smelt her own hair and looked back at him, "I didn't go anywhere and I didn't smell anything on my hair either." She replied, trying to explain herself. "Well, I may have one since I am working around men at my workplace." She added again after thinking of the possibility.

'Why am I explaining myself to him? I should be the one asking things from him why he had the nerve to cook in my kitchen, though... I enjoyed looking at him cooking. What am I even talking about? Argh, explaining things like this can drive me crazy!' She mumbled in her mind.

Yes, she worked among men in her workplace and it was normal. But, the lingering smells of a man? Was he referring to a specific man? Well, she could not tell.

She looked at the sour face before her. "Don't be angry at me. I can't help it since I really am working among men at my workplace." She kept saying, hoping to cool his anger. His grip on both of her shoulders actually hurt and made her face contorted with pain.

She grabbed his wrists, "Can you please don't let your anger control yourself? You hurt me!" She nagged at him. Looking at his sour face really made her heart burned with uneasiness. She pulled his hands away from her shoulders and kept a distance from him.

Hue looked away, hugging himself, pulling a long face. His long hair swayed behind him at his head movement and it gives off a sweet scent in the air.

Jennet sighed. 'What is really happening to me now? At work, I had enough of Mira's babbling non-stop and now I have to explain myself to this grown-up baby. Why can't I have a normal and happy day without any more explaining? I really hate misunderstanding!' She whined in her heart.

After keeping silent for a while, she paced forward and turned him towards her, "Well, since you said, I had this lingering smell of a man; I will take a shower right away and no more long face. Is this okay with you?" she asked him. She can't believe it herself that she even tried to win his heart by bargaining with him.

Hue glanced back at her. His jade-blue eyes were staring intently at her, wanting to make sure she didn't mean to lie to him.

Shortly after that, he opened his mouth, "Wash your body properly until I am satisfied." His tone was cold but there was a threat hidden in his words.

"If you're still not satisfied, when can I have dinner then?" She asked another question and eyed the food on the table.

He had prepared lots of salivating dishes on the table. Her stomach had already growled ferociously since earlier. She was about to ask about eating but since he was disturbed by her 'lingering smell of a man', she had to keep herself away from the food for now.

Hue smirked at her. 'She had the nerve to ask about the foods I cooked when I can smell that homewrecker scent on her body. Is food much more important than taking care of my heart now? Whatever was she doing at work with him?!'

He rolled his eyes at her, still feeling angry. "If I am satisfied after I inspect your body thoroughly then you can have dinner." He said and looked away again.

She looked at him with the unsatisfied look. "Hey, that is not fair! You said my hair had that smell but why now you are saying about inspecting my body?" She fought back. He was not reasonable enough with what he said just now.

"Actually, your whole body reek of that stinky smell!" Hue said and kept ignorant of her feeling. "Off you go before I ate all these dishes." He said, adding more fuel on the fire that burned in her heart.

She was dead hungry and now she had to do whatever she can to get rid of the smell that she can't even smell. 'Just you wait; I will make you pay back for all that you did to me today!' She grumbled in her heart.

She walked out of the kitchen and headed straight to her bedroom. She went towards her wardrobe and opened it, only making her gawked stupidly at what she saw.

All of her clothes were neatly folded and few were already ironed and hung on the hangers. She pulled the drawers and found that even her undergarments had been folded and placed neatly inside. She looked around the room and found everything has been tidied and even the dustbin has been cleared.

Wow, he is such a helping hand in this huge villa. She had to think twice now before planning to kick him out. Not only he had such a handsome face and alluring figure, but he also can cook and now, he even excels in cleaning the house. Wow!

She gasped, "Why didn't I think of it before. He can actually help me with all of my problems concerning the villa. I don't have to clean and cook since he can do it all. Well, why not I fish out his help by luring him with what he wanted. I can play the role of his wife just to get him to do what I wanted him to do. I can even order him around and with this, I can have so much time to rest and enjoy a peaceful life." She giggled.

Amazing, she can actually have a handsome man by her side and he will do all the house chores while she enjoys the life that she had always dreamed of.
