Chapter 37 - Hot and Cold

Jennet couldn't keep her mind straight while shopping. She just took things that she saw and was not really paying attention to whatever she does.

"I am dead..." She mumbled to herself.

She was not really thinking straight. Why did she say all of that to him? How will she survive in her own house with a man like him? How will she gain her freedom and peace that she had long for such a long time?

Looking at the dazed face, the male cashier waved his hand in front of her eyes. "Miss? Miss?" He called her.

Jennet snapped back to her senses. "Oh, I'm sorry. " she apologized and handed her card to him.

He took the card and swiped it on the payment machine. Then, he handed it back to her along with the receipts and the purchases.

Jennet took all the grocery bags and walked away but then, she retreated back to the male cashier, "Do you have any pepper spray?"

Looking at him shaking his head made Jennet feel even more depressed but she still nodded her head. She walked out of the supermarket and headed towards the parking area.

From afar, she could hear voices exclaiming in excitement. She frowned alone as she walked even closer towards the parking area.

Her car was swarmed by people, peeking inside the car. Few tried to break into her car. They tried to smash the car's window!

Her heart raced once again. She hastened her speed and called out in alarm.

"Hey! Stop!" She waved both hands that were full of all her grocery bags.

Her face had gotten pale. Her car is so valuable to her and she can't afford to get it repaired since she had been spending her money on the villa.

She broke through the crowd and stood in front of her car, looking so alarmed.

Looking at all the faces before her, she can't help but said, "Stop trying to break my car! Stay away!" She glared at them.

As if her voice was a pacifier, everyone seemed to be in shock. They looked at each other and dispersed from crowding the area. A few of them was looking so confused at what they had done.

As soon as everyone left, Jennet inhaled a deep breath. She turned around and stared inside. She immediately opened the door to the passenger's seat and found Hue was curling himself while hugging his knees in the seat. He didn't look very good.

She tossed the grocery bags beside him and stared at him in alarm. She shook his shoulders. "Are you okay?" She asked. She checked his face and body for any injuries.

"Tell me, did they hurt you anywhere?" She asked again with her pale and startled looking face.

Hue's face puckered and he burst into a cry. "They tried to take me." He said.

"I have chased them away. Are you okay?" She asked again.

"No, I am not okay. Hug me..." Hue said and opened his arms wide for a hug.

Jennet can't stop herself but to hug him and patted his back softly. "It's okay now. I didn't expect you will be swarmed by them. It's actually really dangerous to leave you all alone."

"You left me alone and that's why they found me. I am not supposed to be left alone after leaving the villa." Hue replied, putting the blame on her.

"Okay, I got it. Now, let's go home." She let him go and went to sit at the driver's seat. She started the engine and drove off, leaving the supermarket.

Unknown to her, a black Mercedes followed her car. Both of them are not aware of the follower since they were far behind. It followed them all the way to the villa without making them realized they are being followed.

As soon as the car stopped at the porch, the black Mercedes stopped about a few yards away from their sight.

Jennet and Hue stepped out of the car together. They split the bags between each other.

"Help me with all the shopping bags. I will bring all the grocery bags into the kitchen." Said Jennet and handed him all the shopping bags.

Hue frowned at her. "No, those grocery bags are much heavier than my clothes. Let me carry those for you." He took all the grocery bags from her hand and strutted away with both hands full.

"You're not angry at me?" Jennet asked from behind and followed him.

"No," replied Hue.

He turned around and smiled widely instead, "I am excited waiting for my obedience to be repaid soon. Hehehe..." He chuckled happily.

Such a shameless man!

Jennet slapped his shoulder in impulse. "You're still thinking about that?!" She fumed with anger but at the same time, her face was burning with embarrassment.

She thought he would not have time to think about it after what happened to him that made him cry but, his memory was so good. Well, she will have to create more excuses to prolong her time to keep to the promises.

Both of them entered the villa. Hue dashed into the kitchen with the grocery bags. "Wife, did you buy me a toothbrush?" His voice echoed from the kitchen.

Jennet was still at the entrance, closing the door tightly. She strode towards the kitchen and took out the thing he asked for.

Smiling, Hue took it with delight. He clasped his hands together and leaned forwards, pouting his lips for a kiss.

"Stop it!" Jennet pushed his face away from getting even closer.

Hue pulled a pouty face. "I have been an obedient husband and now my payment." He said and then lean forward again for a kiss.

"Not yet stupid!" Jennet stopped him again and pushed him away forcefully. She walked out of the kitchen with her face burning red.

"Wife!" Hue followed her from behind. A naughty smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Kiss me! Kiss me!" He trotted happily to her side with the shopping bags.

Jennet glared at him. "Just go upstairs and wash your new clothes!" She pointed upstairs.

Hue smiled even more widely. "Okay!" He obeyed her. He walked upstairs with all the shopping bags.

As soon as he was out of her sight, she exhaled a deep breath and slumped her body on the sofa in the living-room.

She looked up to the white ceiling. Her mind was floating away to the world of thought.

'Am I seriously thinking of letting him stay in this villa? I had intended to look for his family members so he can leave this villa.' She sighed softly.

But, now it seemed hopeless since he was looking so happy plus, she had been making him cry more than once ever since they encounter each other. If she returned him to his family, he would complain about her harsh treatment and she will be burdened by their resentment for what she had done to him.

"Urgh!" She groaned while shaking her head slowly.

"I felt unhappy to let him go either. But, letting him stay was even more troubling." She mumbled to herself. "Should I just treat him like a real husband?"

She thought back while scratching her cheek. If she treats him like a real husband, then, should she be prepared to do what married couples do?

She certainly couldn't do 'it' with him. She couldn't imagine how she will have to go through the process that she had never experience in her life.

Plus, she didn't know how to express her feeling towards him either. She had been treating him coldly but there was a time when she pitied him and treated him warmly.

Honestly, she did not understand her own feelings. She had never had this kind of feeling before.

Ahh, she gets hot and cold all at the same time!

She grabbed a plush pillow and dug her face on it. "I don't know what to do now!" She groaned softly.

She laid down on the sofa and stared at the ceiling while hugging the plush pillow tightly to her chest. Her train of thought kept circling her head, spinning her even more till she felt a headache.

She kept turning in the sofa and at last, she got up and headed for the kitchen again. "I'll just drown myself with preparing for a tea break."

It was actually nearly four pm now. It was unbelievable that time actually passed by so fast. Well, in such a short time, she had actually got to witness too many unexpected occurrences when she goes out with a man for the first time.

Ding dong!

Jennet jumped and turned around in alarmed. Did she just hear the doorbell rang?

Ding dong!

Came the doorbell again.

Jennet stepped out from the kitchen and glanced towards the bedroom upstairs. Hue was nowhere to be seen. She inhaled a deep breath.

She straightened her back and walked elegantly towards the entrance with a fast beating heart. Who could be visiting her at her new place? No one knew of her new address.

She opened the door and her eyes widen in disbelief looking at four figures standing in front of her door.
