Chapter 104 - I'm glad you exist

"Jennet, how are you feeling now?" Hue sat beside her on the bed. He tucked the lock of hair, that dangled in front of her face, to the back of her ear.

Jennet raised her head. Her eyes were puffy after her outburst so many hours ago. Currently, her eyes looked like the eyes of a carp fish.

Hue cupped her face in his palm and bestowed kisses on each of her eyes. The puffiness on her eyes disappeared instantly. However, he couldn't take away the sadness that reflected in her eyes.

"Jennet, are you still sad?" He asked her softly. His concern centred towards her mood. There was no improvement in her moods ever since she woke up from sleep.

Jennet kept staring into his eyes in silence. She looked lifeless and emotionless. Her gaze and stare were utterly disturbing and it shook Hue's, unsettled heart.

"Can I kiss you?" She asked for permission. It was so sudden but it made Hue happy just knowing of her intention.

"Of course. I am yours, remember?" Hue smiled at her.

The woman's eyes then shifted towards his pink thin lips. Her fingers crawled and caressed his face before she caressed his lips using her thumb.

Hue followed the trail of her fingers silently. He was aroused by her sudden gestures. Such caress was a torment to him. However, he couldn't pounce on her because he promised not to do so while she's pregnant. He respected her decision.

"Hue..." Jennet called out for him without shifting her gaze from his lips as she still caressed them affectionately.

"Hmm?" He hummed softly. His eyes arched into crescent moon shape as he smiled.

"Can you see what will happen to us in the future?" She asked.

Hue gazed upon her blank look. With such look on her face, he could not determine what was circulating inside her head.

"I cannot see the future but what I can tell is, we will be parents soon. That future is certain." He replied to her. The future he spoke of would be certain. It won't be long before they welcome the new lives into the world.

A faint smile appeared on Jennet's lips. That was assuring enough for her. She too could already predict he would say that.

She moved closer and leaned her body against his chest. She could hear his heart beating so hard. It was like listening to the sound of the drilling machine. Ah, she knew it. Her husband was aroused by her actions earlier. She didn't mean to arouse him.

Jennet looked up and stared into his jade-blue eyes. "I didn't mean to seduce you." She explained herself.

It would be obvious if he was easily seduced because her every gesture were like feathers that tickled his heart to grab whatever was displayed before his eyes.

Hue nodded his head, understanding her meaning. His face was blushing slowly when he replied with a tight face, "I know, I know. It's normal for me. Don't feel troubled. I can handle my desire."

Hiding his carnal desire won't be that troublesome, maybe. He could handle them for a few months from now on.

Jennet kept staring at the man who tried his best to deny the desire that was burning in his eyes. She knew he was already aroused. Too aroused!

A sneaky smile formed on her lips. Then, out of the blue, she said, "I am sad at the moment. I need energy and I need you to do that."

"I beg your pardon?" Hue questioned her back. Did he hear her wrongly or was he still in a daze?

Jennet didn't bother to repeat her answer and reached for the buttons of his shirt and unbuttoned them one by one.

But, Hue grabbed her hands, stopping her from unbuttoning the rest of the buttons. His face was gotten even redder. The redness had already spread to his ears.

"W-what are you thinking? You're clearly trying to undress me!" He said in alarmed.

"Yes, I am. Give me energy." She said and tugged her hands from his hold but, didn't managed to free them. Hue tightened the hold firmly in his big hands.

"I can give it to you now. My energy force." Hue said and was ready to pout his lips for a kiss, the usual way he used to share his energy with her before.

"No, I mean through your touch. I want to do 'it' with you." She demanded, looking adamant.

There was a moment of silence as Hue processed her words in his messy head. When he finally understood her meaning, he was alarmed.

"That's dangerous for the babies." He answered her back.

"They're strong like their father. It's okay, they say. They want you to make me happy." Jennet said, still want to be stubborn.

Hue's face turned beetroot red. Super red. His face sizzled hot like meat on the griller. He immediately cupped his palms into his red face.

He was embarrassed because his wife suddenly became the forceful one. While at the same time, he was frustrated because his wife was pregnant. If only she said those words before her pregnancy, he would have already eaten her up. Clean and neat.

"It's indecent for our babies." He chirped back. He wanted to reason with her. He wanted to make sure she knew of the consequences of her own tough decision at the hospital. No s** for an entire year until she recovered. Even if she begged for it, he won't. He would fight his own desire as well.

"It will feel like we're forcing them to be the third wheel in the room." He added, looking bashful. He became so timid just thinking about the possibility that their children could remember what they did before they were even born.

Jennet burst into a burst of small laughter. She muffled her laughter with her hands. Her husband's reasoning makes sense sometimes. Considering that she was pregnant with his children that were half-human half-god, they must have those supernatural powers.

Well, she won't force him then. She was just testing him if he would fall for his desire.

"I'm sorry if I make it hard for you. You're indeed a husband who could be trusted. Five stars for you because you passed the test." She said and patted his shoulder. She gave him a smile and her face brightened instantly.

Hue stared speechlessly at her. What the heck? She was just testing him? Hr was really scared of her sometimes.

"I passed the test? Was that just a test?" He looked stupefied.

Jennet ignored his questions as she leant forward and bestowed a light kiss on his lips.

"This is your present." She whispered. Then, she stepped down from the bed.

"I'm hungry." She announced and caressed her flat stomach, "No, we are hungry." She corrected her words and headed for the door.

When she opened the door, she was startled to see a cute little boy standing before her. He was about her waist's high and also he was sucking on his thumb.

She remembered this boy. She saw him in her dream before. He was the one who told her to take good care of his master. He really existed!

A smile broke over her face as she said, "Hi, there. Are you the kid that I saw in one of my dreams before?" She shot him a question.

Little Veen was shaken by her words and his hands fell to the sides. It would be the first time he was so shaken by a human's words. She was not supposed to remember him. She was supposed to remember all about his messages which were to take good care of his master. However, he couldn't stop himself from telling her the truth.

"I am." The boy replied honestly. There was nothing he could hide because she could already remember his face.

Jennet gasped as she suddenly pinched his chubby cheeks with all her might. The boy was not able to stop her in the action and he just stood still, allowing the woman to pinch him to her heart's content.

"I have always wanted to do this since the last time I meet you in my dream. Ahh, your cheeks are super soft and squishy!" Jennet exclaimed excitedly.

"You're so cute!" She added and then hugged him tightly in her embrace. "It's good that you're real!"

She was so excited like a kid who had just gotten her present for the first time. She wasn't aware that a tall and domineering volcano was slowly puffing hot from behind them.

Little Veen saw the puffing volcano and he smiled at the tall figure, silently taunting him. To taunt the volcano, even more, he wrapped his small arms around Jennet's body. His action erupted the volcano at last.

"Stay away from each other!" Hue stormed towards the two of them who were embracing each other happily. He was piping hot.

Jennet glanced at her angry husband. She gasped the moment she just realised her own actions. She had totally forgotten about another 'baby' who needs her utmost attention.

Holding the boy even more securely in her arms, she stood up. "Hubby, control your anger, please. This boy is innocent. I'm sure, he had gone through hell serving you all these times." She said while patting the boy's back, comforting him from bursting into tears.

However, she wasn't aware that the boy was indeed enjoying himself, hugging her, cuddling so comfortably in her warm embrace. She wasn't aware that the boy was silently taunting her own husband with his sneakiness.

Hue gritted his teeth before the two of them. He wanted to tear his wife away from the sneaky brat but he was helpless because his wife was protecting that damn brat!

"Mummy..." Little Veen called Jennet meekly with a scared-looking face. His angelic voice sent love into her heart. She had long to hear someone to call her mummy and the day had finally come to light at last.

"I'm scared..." He added again in the same angelic voice. Asking for pity and to have the humans to bow down to his scheme had always been his number one trait. Even the master's wife couldn't stop adoring him.

"Scared? Scared of whom?" Jennet looked at the deep blue eyes in her embrace. She just can't stop the level of cuteness from overwhelming her heart to the brim.

"I'm scared of daddy. He's a bully." The boy complaint to her and pointed towards Hue.

Jennet laughed. Even a kid could tell her own husband was being mean.

"Just ignore him, my dear. Oh, what's your name? Your bad daddy hasn't introduced your name to me." She shifted the question.

"I am Veen. Veen Hedo." Veen said and smiled. His smile made Jennet's heart fluttered with happiness. She couldn't contain her excitement and snuggled to him even more tightly.

"You're so cute! Your cuteness had blown my troubles away!" She exclaimed. The tension that boiled up after the sudden meeting with her sister, vanished and instead was replaced with a sense of comfort.

Veen giggled when she nuzzled her nose against his neck, ticklish. His laughter was a new thing for Hue was well but since Hue knew the real nature of that boy, he wasn't that captivated by his laughter of happiness.

The pitiful Hue was left behind, unmotivated when his wife totally ignored him that entire evening. Her heart was completely won by his sidekick also known as Veen Hedo at the moment.

***

Hue finally managed to haggle Jennet all to himself when Veen was finally asleep in their bedroom.

Turning his head towards his wife, he said, "You must not fall for his cuteness. He's evil. He's sneaky." He said, trying to clear her head from adoring his sidekick more than him.

Jennet sat comfortably on the sofa and hugged a pillow. She had just eaten and her stomach was a bit bigger than usual. She ate quite a lot than normal as well.

"Hue, you're way too overbearing for a husband. He's just a child." She said, "Consider him a bit."

"You fell for him so easily."

"Hue," Jennet sighed softly, "He is a child."

"He's not always a child. He's already by my side for so many years. He's not a child." Hue's eyes turned glassy as his face puckered. He wanted to cry and he will, well, shortly he will cry.

Jennet sighed again. This big crybaby...

She didn't say a word but pulled him by the collar and kissed him on the lips. Her action immediately stopped him from wanting to cry.

"Remember, I love you," Jennet said right to his face when she parted lips with him. "You'll always be my number one. Well, not to forget our babies..." She added and pressed his palm on her flat stomach.

Hue stared into her eyes and said, "You're bad." Bad, bad, bad wife.

"Hmm..." Jennet nodded her head. She was bad indeed especially for his heart just like how bad he was for her own heart as well.

"Anything else?" She questioned him.

"You're sneaky." He stated another one of her bad sides.

"Oh, really?" She was a bit surprised.

"Yes, and..."

"And...?"

"I love you too..." Hue smiled and kissed her back. "Along with our babies." He added.

Jennet wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Each of his kisses was full of love. She was happy to receive his love. He was also happy to be able to feel her love.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
