Ghost of My Heart - Chapter 85

“You better get ready now. You will have to meet Jennet at 10 am today.” Felix immediately changed the topic of their conversation.

He took the empty plate walked out of the room, leaving Luca all alone with his thought.

Luca inhaled a deep breath and shook his head. “Jennet, I know you’re not trying to lie to me. But, I still need to satisfy my curiosity with my own two eyes.”

***

The reality was indeed too cruel towards Luca when he met Jennet and her husband, the man that she claimed to be her husband.

However, upon meeting her husband made Luca speechless. His chatty character disappeared the moment he laid eyes on the person standing beside Jennet.

Luca stared at the tall and handsome man from top to bottom. His had exactly the same as the face of the woman who had kidnapped him before.

His height, his jade-blue eyes and long, blonde hair are exactly the same. The only difference between them will be; this person doesn’t have boobs!

The man was glaring at him, but oddly Luca felt that glare was familiar to him. He felt he had known this person before. His instinct told him that he had seen him before.

Luca broke into a smile and politely asked, “Have we met before?”

Hue gave Luca a questioning look, “This is our first time meeting each other.” He said.

He pulled a chair for Jennet and then, he sat beside her, opposite Luca. The two men looked at each other with an intense gaze. They looked like two wild and fierce dogs ready to attack each other over a delicious-looking bone.

Jennet watched the two men suspiciously. The moment they entered the cafe, she felt something was off about them. They seemed to have a grudge against each other.

She knew about Hue’s unhappy feelings towards Luca but Luca, who had never seen him before, also emitted the same unhappy feelings in silence.

“Have you been to Country N before?” Luca asked Hue again before Jennet could open her mouth.

Jennet turned mute as soon as she heard Luca questioning her husband. She was left frowning in her seat. She was left wondering of what could his question possibly mean. As far as she knew, Hue had never been to Country N.

The two men were staring among each other intensely, ignoring her existence. Jennet exchanged glances among the two men.

Wait a minute, did Luca perhaps was infected by Hue’s charm too?

When she realised that, she gasped inwardly in her seat. She wasn’t thinking about that possibility before. She was too worried about Luca not able to accept the truth about her marriage. But she didn’t dare to interrupt their intense gaze among each other.

Hue smiled and shook his head, “No, I haven’t been there.” He answered smoothly.

At the moment he was faced to faced with Luca Tybelg, he had the urge to claw his face. He also had the urge to tear him apart, limbs by limbs until no part of his body are intact.

He still could not stand the thought of what he had done to his wife back in Country N. He dared to ask his wife out on a date and even bought her clothes. He, the husband, should have been doing all of that for her and not another man!

“You look familiar,” Luca said with a wide smile after a long silence.

The smile displayed on his face was an eerie one. Jennet had never seen him smile like that in all of her year working together with him. He, either had his business smiles or his romantic smiles on his face before.

Luca asked again, “Are you sure you haven’t been there because I felt like I’ve seen you there before.”

If this man was the same person then, he had to make him spill the truth before them. Even if he didn’t have any boobs, for now, he must be hiding them underneath his shirt.

Well, his chest was looking rather bigger underneath those clothes he wore. This person must have been lying to Jennet as well. Did Jennet fall into some kind of a love scam?

The Jennet that he knew is quite honest and dense so she may not be able to differentiate between truth and lie. She may be prey to those with black hearts.

“You must have mistaken me for someone else.” Hue answered politely, unwilling to create more doubt in Jennet’s heart, who he knew is a cautious soul.

He clenched his jaws silently without showing his uneasiness. He can’t tell Jennet that he, in fact, had been to country N, disguising himself as a single parent on a trip with Little Veen. He had been on an incognito trip just to keep an eye on her.

Did this man call Luca Tybelg had seen him loitering around with Little Veen? Did he already know about his identity as Jennet’s husband but putting on a facade to fool her? To get closer to her?

Hue leaned forward and smiled back at him, “I assure you, good sir, I have never been to Country N.” He explained.

The two men glared among each other. The sight of it made Jennet frowned in confusion. She was uneasy but she was speechless. She didn’t know what she should say to them.

She clapped her hands, severing the intense gaze between the two men. The longer she let them staring dagger towards each other, the longer she will have to wait to clear the misunderstanding.

“I’m sorry to interrupt but are the two of you done staring at each other?” She smiled at them. “We’re here to clear some misunderstandings.” She waved her hands between them.

Hue came back to his sense and he immediately apologized, “My apologies, my love.” Then, he leaned his body to the side, slightly touching her shoulder with his shoulder.

Luca saw his action but he just apologized to her and kept a cool demeanour before her. “I’m sorry. His look reminds me of someone.”

Jennet turned her gaze towards Hue. Her doubt accumulated bit by bit. She started to feel restless about her husband’s identity apart from being a god.

‘His looks remind him of someone else? What does Luca mean? As far as I know, no one looks like Hue in this world. Did Hue hide something from me?’

Hiding her uneasiness, Jennet turned to look at Luca, “Anyway, Luca, this is my husband, Hue Hedo.” She said introducing the men to each other.

She turned to look at Hue, “Hue, this is my boss, Luca Tybelg. So now, you can be at ease.” She gave Hue a sweet smile that melted Hue’s burning heart. The way she patted his hand, assuring him, cleared his mind from any sort of unhappy thoughts.

“Thank you, my love.” Hue answered back to her.

Jennet shifted her gaze towards Luca. She saw his smiles but she knew, to keep smiling like that hurts the most.

“I’m sorry for not telling you earlier. I didn’t mean to toy with your feelings. I’ve tried to explain but it’s always not on the right timing.” She explained honestly.

“We’re married for five years already.” Hue interrupted her. Jennet, again, was speechless because of what he had said.

Luca glanced at Jennet, “Is that true?”

“We’re actually…” Jennet opened her mouth to explain but…

“We’re actually engaged for five years before we signed the marriage license weeks ago. So practically speaking, it’s the same as marrying each other already during our engagement period.” Hue interrupted. His speech was clear and with no hesitation in his action.

Luca exchanged glances between the couple. The two of them displayed different expressions. On Jennet’s face, there was utter confusion and on Hue’s face, there was this look of contempt towards him.

Luca turned his eyes towards Jennet who was totally speechless by Hue’s side. “You seemed like you want to explain something to me.”

Jennet gazed at him, “Well, it’s just like what he said. We’ve been engaged for five years and recently had just gotten our marriage license.” She smiled.

She had nothing to argue because she herself is too confused with how their conversation turned into. They talked as if they are in the court, finding the guilty person.

Luca smiled at Jennet, “Jennet, I’m wondering if your husband had been wearing any woman’s clothing before?”

This unexpected question made the couple gasped in their seats. But for sure, Hue’s face turned cold and he gave Luca a severe look.
