Chapter 30 - I Do

Jennet moved her body away a bit from him and closed her eyes tightly. Sleeping together with this grown-up baby really made her uneasy. What he said earlier really scared her. Having a baby with him? In his dream!

She would never have an intimate relationship with him because they are not really married to each other and because she wanted to take advantage of his skills in cleaning and cooking, she had to treat him nicely from now on.

For the entire night, she stayed alert. Even a single movement from him made her wide awake, and ready to karate chop him. However, as the time came near to dawn, she was defeated by sleepiness and drifted into a deep sleep.

When she opened her eyes the next day, she was greeted by a smooth naked chest before her sleepy eyes. She found herself latching to Hue's body, with her forehead rested against his chest. She had his arm as her pillow while one of her legs was over his body, clinging to him like she usually did to her bolster.

Hue was embracing her in his warm arms. He was still fast asleep and was nowhere on waking up. He looked so handsome with his still face. Furthermore, his long golden hair spread all over the bed and gives off such a nice fragrance.

Jennet blinked stupidly beside him. It took her a while to process what situation she was in after staring at his handsome face at such a close distance. While at it, she examined his perfect, flawless smooth skin.

'Wow, he is much more beautiful than me!' She exclaimed in her jumpy heart. It had been so many times that she praised his beautiful face. She just doesn't feel boring looking at his face.

She reached out a hand and ran her finger over his long eyelashes, his nose bridge before moving them further down to his thin pink lips. As she was about to touch those soft looking lips of his, she came to a sudden realization.

'Stop! Don't fall for his good look! Men are carnivorous!' Her heart cried.

She must keep herself away from him before she fell even deeper with his good look. She can't trust any of men just like what she encountered back in her workplace.

She pulled her hands and leg away from his body. She removed his hand that rested peacefully on her waist and put it on his side before turning her body around, ready to get up.

Hue who was sleeping sensed her movement. He opened his sleepy eyes and immediately pulled her waist and embraced her tightly from behind.

"Wife, it's still early." He mumbled in his sleep and snuggled with her even more. He dug his face in her hair.

Jennet was startled in his sudden action. She turned her head back, looking at his fast asleep face. She stayed still in his embrace till her neck felt sore but didn't dare to turn her gaze away from him. She wanted to make sure he's really fast asleep before she stepped out of the bed.

After a while and after making sure he was really in a deep sleep, she pried his fingers one by one to free herself but failed to get away from the cage of his tight hug. The more she moved, the more he tightened his embrace.

She bit her lower lip in frustration. She looked back at his face. 'Is he really asleep?' She wondered if he was just trying to take advantage of her again.

She looked up to his sleeping face and patted his arm, "Hue, wake up!" She raised her voice.

She moved his arm again but he just brought her closer and dug his face in her hair even deeper.

"Hmm..." He mumbled in his sleep. His voice was a bit hoarse and deep.

She tried to wiggle her way out from his strong barricade but to no avail. Every effort she tried to get free from him was wasted and she just exhausted herself instead.

"Hue, let go of me!" She knocked his head with all her might. She had enough of his sly tricks to keep snuggling with her on the bed!

Hue immediately burst into a cry as soon as he felt the pain on his head. He let her go and sat down on the bed, sobbing with his pitiful puppy eyes, staring at her.

Jennet jumped out of the bed and huffed in anger, "You're doing it purposely right?" She rolled her eyes at him.

"I did not." Hue denied. Tears flowed down so easily from his eyes. He rubbed his head while sobbing softly on the bed.

Jennet ground her teeth. But, she didn't say anything else. What else can she say to him? He will just keep crying if she started to yell or nag at him.

She turned around and went through her wardrobe and took out a towel and a pair of clothes. Then, she stormed out of the bedroom.

Hue sat on the bed and sobbed. "Wife is so mean to me." He stepped out from the bed and walked straight into the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Jennet was mumbling non-stop while taking her shower. "What will I do with him? He's so sly! I have never encountered a shameless man like him in my life!"

She took a quick shower and dressed. Then, she heads upstairs and stormed into the bathroom, immediately headed for the sink to brush her teeth.

While she was busy brushing her teeth, Hue walked out from the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel. His long hair was wet and was dripping down on the floor.

His carefree attitude made Jennet fumed with anger when she found the floor was wet. She washed her mouth and stopped him from entering the bedroom area.

"Stop right there!" She said and stepped out from the bathroom and looked at him from top to bottom. His hair was still dripping wet and the floor would be slippery if he waltzed around with his wet hair.

Hue stopped and stared at her with a slight frown. "What is wrong wife?" He tilted his head to the side with a questioning look.

Jennet pulled the towel hanging on her shoulder and tossed it at him. "Dry your hair properly. You will just wet the floor." She said and walked towards the wardrobe and went through every hanger, looking for clothes that may fit Hue's body.

Luckily, she found oversized pants and an oversized white shirt. She turned around and found Hue was desperately trying to dry his long hair at the entrance of the bathroom door.

He looked so pitiful and somehow helpless. He seemed not used to dry his own hair.

Jennet exhaled a deep breath. She placed the clothes on the bed and walked towards him. She took the towel from his hand, making him stunned.

"Here, let me help you and sit there." She said and pointed towards the chair at the dressing table.

Hue sat on the chair and smiled widely when she moved closer to him with the towel. She started to dry his long hair.

He looked at her face from the mirror. He didn't expect she would be so kind as to dry his hair. His heart screamed in excitement. She is taking care of him!

He felt so excited and super duper happy. Had she started to feel something for him? Had she started to have those twinkly feelings for him?

He can't help smiling looking at her. He coughed in front of the mirror, catching her attention, "Ehem, wife..." He called softly.

Jennet glanced at him, "What?" She gave him a sharp glare.

"Do you have any feelings for me?" He asked and looked at her with his gleamy jade blue eyes from the mirror.

Jennet looked at him. There was a dead look in her eyes.

"I do." She replied without hesitation.

"Really?" Hue smiled even more widely.
