Ghost of My Heart - Chapter 109

Jennet gazed back at the pretty face on the bed. However, her heart was getting unsettled the longer she gazed upon her face. Her woman’s instinct told her that the woman must be connected to her husband, even for a bit, they must have a connection. She doesn’t know why she had such feelings inside her.

Also at the same time, she doubted the couple before her. They are behaving awkwardly in her presence. They are hiding something from her. Their answer from earlier was also suspicious. Who are they and why are they behaving that way around her?

Ah, she just can’t sit tight as usual.

Jerome and Susan gulped when they sensed the changes in Jennet’s mood. They felt an immense heavy feeling coming out of her surroundings. The couple intertwined their fingers under the table, getting goosebumps all over their restless shell.

As soon as Luca arrived, the heavy feeling around Jennet dissipated and the frightened couple finally manages to get a breather. They immediately called for the doctor, leaving Jennet alone in the room with Luca.

“I’m sorry for troubling you.” Luca apologized.

On his handsome face, there was a worried look that could bring the entire continent down the ocean. He was super worried about so many things at the moment. He was worried about Jennet’s trust and at the same time, he was worried about Hecara who was bedridden at the moment.

“Don’t worry too much. I happened to be at the scene and I helped Jerome and Susan to get her to the hospital.” Jennet smiled back at him.

She didn’t really care about his relationship with the mysterious woman though. She was just worried about other things; the possibility of the mysterious woman to have a connection with her own husband. She knew, their beauty is unrivalled in the human world and the only one she knew who had such super god look would be her husband. But, the woman’s existence made her have doubt of all people around her, especially Jerome and Susan.

She didn’t realize it at first, but the couple is always there when she had hard times. They are always there when she didn’t expect them to be there. It seemed, they were keeping their eyes on her for some unknown reason.

‘When I get home, I’ll ask Hue about all of his aides.’ She muttered in her head.

“Jennet, are you okay?” Luca waved his hand in front of her face, attracting her attention.

Jennet snapped back to the real world and smiled, “I’m sorry, what were you saying just now?”

“I’m asking if you would like to eat something before going home,” Luca said to her, repeating what he had said earlier.

“I have to decline because my husband would be furious if he knew I eat out. He’s quite strict on my meals since I’m pregnant.” Jennet accidentally blabbered about her pregnancy.

Luca’s heart broke the moment he heard her words. “You’re pregnant?”

Why did everyone around him getting pregnant? He can’t handle the matter in his hands and then he found out that the woman he chased after is pregnant after her marriage.

Jennet turned mute that instant. She eyed the man who had a speechless look upon his face. It was of no use to hide the news of her pregnancy. Sooner or later, everyone will find out including Luca. So she had better share the news with him before everyone finds out about it.

“I am,” She admitted with a straight face. “I’m a few weeks old pregnant and I am sure your fling here,” she gestured at the sleeping woman on the bed, “is pregnant as well.”

She meant well with her words and no other meaning to what she wanted to say. She sincerely wanted to share the joy of getting pregnant. However, Luca’s face turned pale and he seemed to have lost his bearing when he suddenly collapsed on his knees before her.

“I don’t know how I should explain myself to her family about her pregnancy. I don’t know how I should tell them the truth when their daughter forced herself on me. I have been hiding all these problems from everyone and you are the only one who can see straight on my troubles.” Luca cried. He was totally dishevelled, mind and body, all too tired to handle things at one time.

Jennet gasped while watching the weeping the man. She glanced to the left and to the right, no one’s around.

She shook Luca on his shoulder, trying to sober his sadness. “Luca, you better calm yourself. What if the others are going to see you weeping like a kid here?”

Luca shook his head, “I don’t know what I should do now. Ever since you rejected me, I have encountered lots of crazy and unexplained situations. I went to all the places to calm myself but I always end up being chased by her.”

“Her?”

“Yes, her,” Luca gestured towards the sleeping Hecara whose face was pale.

“Isn’t she the fiancée of yours?” Jennet asked, wanting a confirmation answer from him.

Luca looked up to her and frowned, “Fiancée? Where did you hear that from?” He asked her back. He had told everyone back at home to keep their mouth shut and not to tell anyone about Hecara to the outside world.

“Oh, from the way you prostate, she must have been a woman who was forced to be your fiancée,” Jennet explained with a move on her head. “It’s obvious nowadays for rich men to be forced into marriage with someone they didn’t like.” She added.

Luca inhaled a deep breath and looked away from meeting her innocent gaze. He wasn’t forced by his mother to be with Hecara. Hecara was the one who forced herself to be with him. Hecara took all of his first times and did something unthinkable to his important family members by scaring them to death with her pregnancy news.

Though he couldn’t confirm if she’s really pregnant but he isn’t ready to hear the news yet. He had hoped for it to be a piece of fake news, a part of her scheme to play around. He isn’t ready to be a dad and isn’t ready to be a husband for someone as intense as Hecara. His life will be in a huge mess if Hecara kept on getting pregnant from year to year. He isn’t ready to be a daddy with babies all around him just yet.

“I think you better go home. You’re pregnant, right? You must go home and spend some quality time with your husband.” Luca diverted their conversation. He didn’t want to keep showing more of his embarrassing sides to Jennet. Jennet had seen too much already and he wishes she won’t see more than what she saw.

Jennet didn’t probe him further and left as he insisted. Jerome and Susan were nowhere to be seen after Luca’s appearance. But, Jennet didn’t put much thought on their strange behaviour though because she can always ask Hue about who they really are. If Hue refused to spill the truth, she will seek answers from the innocent Little Veen.

***

Jennet arrived at the villa only to see her husband currently in pillows fight with Little Veen in the living room. The poor pillows burst open, sending white and fluffy feathers flying here and there following the motion of their hands in the air. If the pillows are living and breathing beings, they are already weeping hard while riding the roller coaster of their hands.

Little Veen spotted her figure standing crossed arms at the entrance. “Mommy…” He squeaked in fright when he turned his head towards her.

Hue came running towards him and hit his face with the pillow which sent the little boy flying towards the sofa behind them.

“You lose! I win!” Hue laughed out loud at his victory.

He pranced and danced around doing a chicken dance in front of the boy who had submerged his face against a pillow when Jennet approached Hue from behind.

“It is actually your loss, honey!” Jennet pulled Hue on the ear, tugging him away from making funny faces towards Little Veen.

“Aww, aww, aww,” Hue cried but then smiled when he saw his wife’s sour and grumpy face. “Honey, you’re home. I didn’t hear the car.” He said, trying to calm her raging heart.

Jennet forced a plastic smile on her face and said sarcastically, “Oh, you didn’t hear the car because I flew all the way home.”

Then, she looked around, “Oh my, look at all the fluffy looking things on the floors. They looked like the feathers inside these burst open pillows. Did you have enough fun destroying all the pillows?” She asked, still smiling at him although her heart was burning deep inside.

Hue gave her a sheepish smile over the guilt of massacring all the pillows in the living room. The living room was littered with feathers, the remains of the murdered pillows.

Poor pillows… May you rest in peace and never encounter people such as Hue and Little Veen. Jennet will get justice for you.

“Umm, we-we were bored, and, and…umm…” Hue tried to give her an explanation however, he couldn’t think of a better lie.

He was just playing around with the little boy. More like, he was trying to bully him but they end up having pillows fight in the living room. None of them realized Jennet was home by the time they were nearing the end of their fight.

Jennet twisted his ear and the husband yelped in pain as his body too moved in accordance to the way she twisted his ear. Her husband never grew up. He still needs more practice to be a better man before meeting her father.

“I am sorry!” Hue cried on his knees in front of his wife who picked the remains of the pillows in her arms. However, Jennet ignored his cries and cleaned the living room. Hue and Little Veen joined too by putting back the feathers inside the popped-open pillows and sewn them back.

Later that evening, after dinner and after putting Little Veen to sleep downstairs, Jennet and Hue were sitting at the balcony of their room. They gazed upon the night sky without talking with each other.

Jennet was in deep thought and the frown on her forehead made Hue be so restless by her side.

After a long silence, Jennet caressed her stomach and then she asked a question, “Can you tell me the truth about yourself?” She eyed him with a serious stare.

“What truth I haven’t told you?” He asked her back. What does she want to know about him? He was pretty sure he told her everything already.

Jennet rearranged her posture on the chair, “Are you sure you don’t remember if you ever have a family back in your realm?” She kept asking.

She couldn’t believe if he said he’s orphan in both worlds. Luca’s fiancée still lingered in her mind. They must have a connection. Must be, hundred per cent sure!

“I have no recollection of my family. All that I know is that I have always remembered you, my fated wife.” Hue explained.

Yeah, he only had the memories of marrying his wife over and over again in each of her lives. Other than that, it was just a blurry memory that he never wanted to know. He also does not know why he had such thought of not wanting to know of his own past although by times someone else wants to know of it.

Jennet sighed and leaned back on the chair. She gazed up the starry night sky again. Hue doesn’t remember if he ever had a family. Did she miss something important in his explanations before?

“Does anyone have the same unrivalled good look like you in your realm? Or does a human is granted with such good look like you?” Jennet questioned him after a few moments of silence.

Hue frowned as he scratched his chin while thinking of the possibility, “I have no idea. I have been here for as long as I can remember but I haven’t encountered anyone who has the same good look as me. Well, I might be proud if I am the only one who had this unrivalled good look just like you said.” He smiled widely.

To be the only one who had the unrivalled look would be the best of all times. Hahaha… Hue laughed in mischief.

Jennet exhaled a deep sigh, “Well, I met a lady today and she had the exact same face like yours. I am sure she must have a connection with you. She had this magical vibes in her and is just like yours. I might say, both of you had the same scent.”

“What?!” Hue gawked in surprised. He turned to his side and thought hard for the first time in his life.

The same face, the same scent and had magical vibes? Who could she be? He honestly had no ideas of anyone who had the same vibes as him. Doppelganger? Impossible!

“So, who could she be?” Jennet asked him again. She was itching to know the answer to come out of his mouth without having to leave her in the bind on searching for the answers on her own.

Hue glanced back at her and replied her honestly, “I, hereby declare that I honestly have no idea of who she is. Trust me on my power as the God of Comfort.” He raised his right hand up as he said his honest answer.

Jennet tched and looked away while biting her nails. He couldn’t help at all. Nothing is helping her to get to the answers she sought after.

“Ah, I want to know about all of your aides.” She changed the topic again. Since she knew his aides are around, protecting her like shadows, she had better get information about them instead.

Hue smiled widely as he honestly answered, “My aides are working in the same company with you. They are Jerome and Susan Banner.”

At the hearing of such names, Jennet felt victory in her hands at last. So, the aides blended in among humans and lived their lives just like humans? Nice and unexpected.

Well, no wonder they acted so strangely around her at the hospital. They are indeed her husband’s minions.

Oh, it also explains why she got an easy sick leave from the hospital before. No wonder, they are being super nice with her as well. Fufufu… Jennet chuckled inwardly.

‘I will ask them about that fiancée of Luca since they seemed to know her much better than Hue.’ Jennet smiled even more widely.

Hue glanced back at his wife with knitted brows. What happened to his wife all of a sudden? Having a mood swing as usual?
