Chapter 115 - A Man With Influence

It was dawn and Jennet woke up with a fright when Hue pinned her down on the bed.

"Honey..." He called her seductively. "Are you awake?" He pecked the tip of her nose.

"What had gotten into you?" Jennet asked in surprise. Her sleepiness flew away and was replaced with an unhappy mood.

Hue tilted his head to the side. His long eyelashes fluttered when he blinked them. His thin pink lips curved into a smile.

"I have prepared the bath." He told her. His sexy voice cracked into a seductive chuckle.

His fishy behaviour made Jennet wondered about what had happened to him? Had he eaten something funny while she was fast asleep?

Hue gazed into her eyes, "Would you..." He paused midway.

He leaned closer until their foreheads touched each other. His fingers trailed along her nose bridge and he continued.

"...allow this husband of yours to take the privilege to bath you?" A soft chuckle escaped his lips when he stole a kiss from her lips.

Again, Jennet had a twisted expression on her face. What happened to him?

"Are you trying to bed me?" She asked straight forward. She had a prejudice about his intention to bath her.

However, Hue didn't give her any answer as he grabbed her wrists and locked them above her head. He gazed deeply into her eyes with his alluring jade-blue eyes.

"I'm not." He replied. But then, he smiled in mischief. "Let's take our bath now." He let her hands-free.

"Wai-" Her words left unsaid when he carried her body in his strong arms and entered the bathroom.

He placed her on the bathroom countertop and made sure she sat comfortably with her back against the mirror. He reached for the buttons on her shirt, however, she stopped him.

"What are you doing?" She rolled her eyes at him.

Hue smiled seductively, "You don't want to bath with clothes on, right?" His tone mellowed.

Jennet bit her lips before him. Right, she can't bath with clothes on. But, it wasn't necessary for him to act so sexily before her. She can't stand it, honestly. She would melt!

"Turn around! I'll take my clothes off on my own." She said with a long face.

Hue happily obliged and turned around. When he saw her shirt and bra was tossed into the laundry basket next to his feet, he immediately turned around. His smiles widened as he feasted his eyes on her naked upper body.

Food for the eyes! Heh heh heh...

He reached out to touch her protruding breasts. However, Jennet slapped his hands away as she moved her body back and crossed her arms over her chests.

"What are you trying to do?" Her voice rose. He can't seriously be thinking about touching them, right?

Hue eyed her and he smiled, "May I massage these beautiful breasts?" His voice tendered.

"What?" Jennet nearly scream.

"I want to massage your whole body." Hue raised his hands, ready to grope her breasts.

"But, you said you wanted to bath me!" She was getting annoyed.

"There's a free full body massage applied to the package of bathing you." He elaborated.

"Pervert, you're trying to do perverted things to my body. I knew it!" Jennet accused him.

"Be happy because this pervert is exclusively for you. If I do something perverted, it benefits the two of us. Think on the bright side." Hue said, defending himself.

Jennet bit her own lips. 'Grr, I wish to punch him over and over again!' She thought.

"Don't do anything funny." She said, giving him a warning while at the same time giving him the 'okay' flag.

"I promise. Now, close your eyes." He said.

Jennet's eyes widened. She was getting impatient, "What are you-"

"Just do it..." He urged her.

With a heavy heart, Jennet did as he said. The moment she had her eyes closed, Hue rolled out his tongue and licked her nipples.

Jennet was so alarmed at what he did. Unexpectedly, she let out a moan that surprised both of them. When she found out what she did, embarrassment drowned her and she immediately cupped her own face.

Hue got so turned on by her moan. He pulled her hands down and ravished her lips. While at it, he pressed her against the mirror as he framed her face firmly with his hands. He had transformed into a big and hungry wolf.

Jennet pushed his face away however, her strength was no match to his. She was only released from the confinement of his strong hands when her lungs cried for air.

"Let go!" Jennet pushed his face away, unlocking their lips. Then, she pounded on his broad chests furiously.

"You're a total jerk!" She fumed. She was on the brink of punching his handsome face.

"Really?" Hue asked in a tender voice and he lifted her chin with his fingers. "You turned me on." He blamed her instead.

"No, I'm not!" She showed him her fist. She wished to fry him alive for blaming her.

Hue chuckled as he took off his shirt and tossed it into the laundry basket. Then, he undid the knot on his pants before he kicked it off his long legs. He was only in his boxer.

"Let's strip before we bath each other." He said and pointed towards the lower part of her body.

Jennet looked down and found herself still in her pyjama's trouser. Yes, the last two things attached to her were her underwear and the trouser.

She glared unhappily at the smiling man, "Just promise you won't do any other thing to me."

It would be best to warn him beforehand. Otherwise, he would cross the boundary between them and could jeopardize the safety of their children in her womb. It was hard to trust the words of a man like him.

"I can't keep that promise." Hue said honestly, immediately shattered Jennet's hope to keep him under control.

"Why?!"

"Well, I cannot promise I won't do other things to you because there won't be other things that I want other than touching you."

"What the heck are you talking about?"

"You want to do another activity with me, right?" Hue asked a naughty question. He had nothing decent in his head and he was happy about it.

"You're going to die if you think of other activity aside from washing my body!" Jennet said as she hopped down from the countertop and pushed him away roughly.

Hue smiled cheekily at her. "My wife, what other activity are you implying just now? I'm interested to know. Maybe I can help you." He kept teasing her.

Jennet took the hand shower and aimed it at him, "May your dirty mind be purified with this water!"

Then, she blew his pervertedness away with the cold water. Handsome devil, begone!

***

Rosella arrived at the house before noon with her nieces who were clearly uncustomed to the lifestyle in the countryside. Unsatisfied grumbles could be heard coming from one of her nieces.

"If I knew, I wouldn't have brought my expensive high-heeled shoes to a place like this," Katerina grumbled unhappily. Her precious high-heeled shoes were stained by muds when she stepped on the ground.

"Ahh, they should have prepared a red carpet for me." She fumed again. Her beautiful face was ugly due to her sour expression.

Rosella was displeased with her attitude. She glanced towards Helena. "Tell her to stop with her grumbling. If she doesn't stop now, tell her to go back on her own. My reputation is already at stake here. I don't want to gain more unwanted attention from my in-laws because of her lavish lifestyle." Rosella's words were cold and stern.

Helena nodded her head. "I will, aunty. I will." She elbowed Katerina on the side and Katerina stopped grumbling.

"Watch your manners," Helena hissed at Katerina when they followed Rosella into the huge house.

Rosella dropped by the study room that was frequented by her father-in-law. The lively old man welcomed her warmly into the study room.

"I have been wondering about the new son-in-law that you told me about, father. Where is he and who is the one married?" Rosella asked when she took a seat opposite Grandpa Ingell in the living room.

Grandpa Ingell laughed and leaned back on the sofa. "My beloved granddaughter, Jennet. She finally comes home with her husband."

"Jennet?" Rosella was taken aback by his word. Her brows knitted. Disbelief painted her beautiful face. Did Jennet come home on her own accord? But for what?

Grandpa Ingell nodded his head, "Yes, Jennet. She had a son about four years old now. I'm so happy to be blessed with a great-grandchild." Grandpa Ingell said and smiled when he recalled the cute Veen. The boy was so mature at such a young age.

Again, Rosella lost her reasoning. Jennet had a son aged four years old? Does that mean after she ran away she had married another man and had a child with him?

"Where are they now?" Rosella diverted her attention by asking another question.

"They are having a stroll in the garden. But, since you have just arrived, you better take a rest. You can meet them later." Grandpa Ingell advised her softly.

Shortly after that, Rosella excused herself for a rest. On the way to the room, she stopped by one of her nieces' room. She saw her nieces standing by the window while looking outside.

"Ladies, what are you looking at?" She approached them and glanced down, following the gaze of their eyes.

In the garden, she saw Jennet for the first time in five years. The daughter whom she loathed before, was smiling happily beside a foreign man. That happy expression was what Rosella refused to appreciate before.

Rosella focused her eyes towards the long-haired man beside Jennet. He was a handsome man and his good look couldn't be compared with anyone. Rosella hated to admit it but he was devilishly handsome!

"That's the man that I talked about all this time. He's the one I love whom I told you before." Katerina shrieked in envy as she pointed towards the handsome man in the garden.

"How do you know him?" Rosella interrupted. She was curious. She wanted to know if Jennet ended up with someone with influence since Katerina sang praises about him.

Katerina giggled and clasped her hands together, "He shopped at my place once. I fell for him at first sight. I followed him and I found that he owned a villa in the city where I lived." She explained.

"Do you know about that woman beside him?" Rosella pointed towards Jennet who stood beside the handsome man.

Katerina's face turned sour again, "I do not know who she is but I hated her. She slapped me in front of the crowd and openly humiliated me. I have no idea what makes her so precious in his eyes." Katerina expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Hey, she is Aunt Rosella's daughter. Mind your words." Helena nudged Katerina on the stomach.

Katerina gasped in terror when she saw Rosella's cold gaze. "I'm sorry. I have no idea. I..."

Rosella inhaled a deep breath. "Don't worry. I don't really care about that." She had disowned Jennet ever since she gave birth to her. Jennet was merely a mistake that she wanted to get rid of her life.

"I want to know if the man beside her is someone with influence?" Rosella asked another question to ease her concern.

It would spell a major disaster if Jennet mingled with people of influence. Jennet shouldn't show herself to the world. Jennet should live as quiet as possible and marry the man whom Rosella approved of.

"No, he's not. He's not someone that I used to see in the city either. He seemed to have moved into the city recently. Maybe, he is someone she hired as a guard, perhaps..." Katerina said with a shrug. She wasn't sure herself.

When she found him for the first time, she hired investigators to investigate his identity but they always end up not getting anything. They always ended up losing their memories on their first day of work. It was a weird occurrence. Then, she took the lead and it resulted in her getting a free slap from Jennet and got herself humiliated in front of so many people.

Rosella exchanged glances between her nieces. She had heard enough. There wasn't anything interesting about the man whom Jennet married either.

"Thank you for telling me about this information. Well, both of you should rest. We will meet again later." Rosella wrapped up their conversation. She left the room with her calm expression. No one knew what she had in mind.
