Chapter 296

((( JASMIN POV's )))

Rhio was obviously annoyed until we got back to the mansion.

I just chose to be silent than ask him about it. We didn't talk as we ate but when I was about to absentmindedly hit the marble column in the dining, he pulled me fast.

"You're spacing out again Jasmin." He held my hands and escorted me to the other terrace. "Why…is Derick inside your mind again?"

Confirmed. The freak was jealous.

I pulled at his hair in annoyance.

"Ouch!"

"Who's the guy again to whom I've said I love him? And who's the guy who is overly jealous of Derick although I love him more?" I continued tugging at his hair.

"Ouch…Enough Jasmin. Please."

"No! Answer me first!" His torso was almost bent from my tugging. "Answer!"

"…Ouch! Should I know who you li--- Ouch!"

"Answer!"

"Rhio!" he said. I freed his hair.

"Good."

"Ouch. I forgot my wife is an amazon."

"Don't ever forget what I said or else I'll hung you by myself!"

I might have an untimely delivery because of him.

But he suddenly hugged me, "I can't help but get jealous."

"Do you know that jealousy destroys relationships?"

"Relationships?" he laughed before kissing my right cheek.

"Relationships," he kissed my other cheek.

"Relationships," he kissed my lips.

"Re---"

"Hey!" I pushed his face away, "You've stolen lots of kisses from me already."

"That's your payment for making me jealous," he kissed my cheek again.

"Hey---" He kissed my lips until he saw I wasn't able to breathe properly anymore.

"Okay. Paid," he smiled like a crazy man.

I sat on the sofa when we got back. He sat beside me and rested his arm around my shoulder so, in turn, I let my head fall against his chest. I could feel his heart beating. He's anxious.

"I'm just here for you Jasmin without Derick saying it."

"Will he ever forgive me?"

"For what?"

"For…uhm, he loved me and I just rode along. But I told him not to hope too much that I could love him back the way he loved me…"

"You're crazy. Besides, he also apologized. You forgave him so he should have had forgiven you too."

"He's sad…"

"He'll get happy someday…So now go take your rest because I still have many things to do."

"You're always like that."

Shit. Why did I say that?

But I just heard him sigh in response.
