Ghost of My Heart - Chapter 64

She locked the bathroom and hung the clothes on the hanger on the door. She looked at her own face in the mirror. She can’t help it but frown alone at her own reflection.

“He is a God of Comfort?” she mumbled alone. She looked down on her left hand, gazing at the ring on her finger. Her mind was fuzzy and she didn’t know how she should react. So many strange incidences happened to her when he was around.

“Strange. I wasn’t even scared when he said he is not a human.” She chuckled alone. ‘Am I getting crazy?’ She thought.

She raised her head and peered at her reflection again, “Am I getting hallucination after taking the painkillers? Or is he really is a mad man on the loose? Should I look for his family which had been my initial plan?”

She cupped her face onto her palms. Gosh, she must have been hitting her head in her sleep. It must have been the case. It was a good thing that she was given three days of sick leave. Before people found out about her getting mad for no reason, she better settles her own problem at hand.

Jennet shook her head again, “Maybe I heard that phrase from the TV before. Well, Hue is a full-time house husband, so, he must have been watching too much fantasy drama, so he was influenced by it.” She said, comforting her own heart. “Yes, it must be the case.”

She shook her head alone and then spent her time in the tub, trying to dismiss her uneasiness. But, then, she remembered all about what happened from last night. The changes of his eye colours, the trick he does to undress her in the blink of an eye. Well, he couldn’t be a normal human being, right?

Jennet groaned alone in the tub. Her head is getting even messier thinking of it all.

Meanwhile, Hue was limping towards to dressing table and took the ringing phone in his hand. He stared at the name on the screen. The caller was listed as ‘Home’.

Hue frowned. Which home did she refer to?

His heart ticked with heaviness. Did his wife change Luca Tybelg’s name in her phone list?

He pulled a long face when he thought of the possibility. Then, he glanced towards the bathroom and the door was tightly closed. Well, let her be in there for a while. He will just answer the call on her behalf.

He pressed the phone to his ear and he greeted, “Hello?”

“Is that you Jennet?” A female voice suddenly appeared at the end of the line. From the sound of it, she may be in her twenties and she was so impatient from her sound.

“Jennet is taking her bath at the moment.” Hue answered politely. He had a wide smile over his face because it was not a male who called his wife.

“Who are you?” The female voice asked. Her tone turned colder. She was probably stunned over the line.

“I am Hue Hedo and I am her husband. But, whom am I talking to?” Hue asked, still in a polite tone.

“Not important!” The caller replied coldly.

“Oh, your name is Not Important?” Hue asked again. What kind of sense did her parents have to name their children with such names?

“I have no time to prolong this talk. Just tell her to read the message in her inbox.” The caller said in an unfriendly tone. Then, the call was disconnected before Hue could say anything to her.

Hue shook his head as he put the phone back on the table. “What kind of people did my wife associated her with? That Not Important person is so rude.” He grumbled unhappily. He disliked it if people are being rude to his wife. He wanted them to respect her no matter what.

He walked back to the bed and laid his body down. Shortly after that, he heard the door opened and Jennet stepped out, fully clothed with her hair slightly wet. She headed for the dressing table, ignoring him who stares longingly at her.

“Can you stop staring at me?” Jennet broke the awkward silence between them. She took a comb and combed her long hair gently. “You are getting even creepier.” She added.

Hue chuckled and lay back, playing with his long hair. “Do you feel scared now?” he asked.

He stole a glance at her who was staring at him. “Can you not keep frowning at me? I won’t do anything perverted. I promise.” He said.

He was still in pain and he couldn’t jeopardize his body over lust. He needed to recuperate in order to starts working to impregnate her.

Jennet put the comb away and took her phone, checking on the time. “It’s already time for dinner.” She said and placed the phone down.

Hue pouted on the bed. He turned on his side, facing his back on her. “I don’t want to go out yet. Those women will attack me again,” He said. The thought of going out and to be attacked from all direction was unpleasant.

“I’ll order for room service,” Jennet said and made a call to room service for food delivery. After making the order she turned on the TV to kill time.

Hue glanced at her, “You know, there was a call from ‘Home’ when you were taking your bath and a person with the name Not Important said to read the message in your inbox.”

Jennet froze in her seat. Did hue answer the call from her family? Crap, this is going to be a disaster!

Her fingers turned cold. She cleared her throat and asked, “Ehem, but what did you say to them?” There was a worry in her expressions.

Hue sat down and smiled widely, “I told them that I am your husband.” He answered, honestly.

Jennet gasped. She shot up from the chair, looking so alarmed.

“Why did you reveal about yourself to her?” She said. Her tone spiked up in anger.

Why, is he so eager to tell the world of their status when she can’t even confirm the legality in their relationship just yet?

Hue gulped. “Umm, did I say something wrong?” He asked. He was oblivious of her situation and all he could do was feeling sorry.

Jennet didn’t say anything but took the phone from the table and checked her inbox. Her eyes widen when she read the message. She bit her lips and clenched her jaw. From the look of it, she was burning in anger.

Hue frowned from the bed, “My wife, what is the matter? Did I bring trouble?” He asked, innocently.

Of all the things, he didn’t want any problem coming in her ways. He wanted her to be safe and sound and also away from anything that worries her. Well, he still needs to get to know more on his own wife.
