Chapter 81 Chapter 81
HENDEIX kissed my ear and sent shivers down my spine. He also placed kisses on my cheek and neck.
“Huz, w-what are you doing? It tickles…”
“You didn’t used to be ticklish before, right? Why do you have it now? Hmmm?”
He caressed my waist and continued planting kisses on my neck.
“W-why do you keep going hmm, hmm?” I asked weakly, making him laugh.
“Hmmmm…?”
I smiled too as he teased me even more. I hit his chest, but this time he caught my hand.
“You know, you’ve been hitting me for a while now. That hand of yours is starting to enjoy it, huh?”
I couldn’t speak when he bit my neck. “You should be thankful you’re my wife. You’re the only one I allow to hurt me like this.”
“Why? You hurt me too! You also slap my butt!”
He burst out laughing. He even stepped away from me just to finish laughing, which didn’t seem to end.
“You’re crazy! Your assertiveness really makes me laugh, my wife!”
While he kept laughing, I just watched him. Why does his laughter feel so good to my heart?
I thought I wouldn’t get along with him, but now the way we talk to each other is so different. He’s laughing with me now even when I’m not joking.
And me… I’m starting to take this joke seriously.
I could clearly hear my heart pounding. I felt like I was going crazy. I couldn’t breathe.
I only saw myself getting down from where I was sitting on the table. I tiptoed to reach his lips.
“Wife?” he asked when I pulled away from the kiss. “You kissed me?”
“I just want you to stop laughing,” I replied while still staring at him seriously.
“Huh? You hate my laugh?”
I shook my head. “Nah. I just… I almost… fell in love with you.”
I must really not have been in my right mind when I said that, but I couldn’t take it back. I didn’t want to take it back either, because that’s really how I feel. Hendeix blinked several times, as even he couldn’t believe what I said. I also saw him avert his gaze. Actually, it was a good thing his phone rang—and mine did too. We each answered our calls.
“Hello?” I greeted the caller.
“Hello, Doc. Jade—uh, J-Jade…”
“Hannah? Why are you calling?”
“What is it… hmm… I want to apologize for what happened earlier, and I-I also have bad news, Jade…” she said, which immediately worried me.
“What is it, Hannah? Just tell me.”
“Doctor Martino emailed me. He said that you will temporarily not be included in the medical mission.”
“W-what?! You’re just joking, right?!” I couldn’t stop myself from shouting.
“Sorry, Jade…”
“Why? Why won’t he include me?! And why didn’t he tell me directly? It’s so annoying that I had to hear it from you! It’s embarrassing!”
“Actually, Jade, he didn’t say any reason, but I think he just wants to avoid what happened last time, your meeting with your mom. Dr. Solieza still wants to join our medical missions.”
“What?!”
It felt like fire was coming out of my nose from anger. I sighed several times even after my call with Hannah ended. I really couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t include me anymore! That’s the only thing keeping me busy in life, and they’re taking it away from me! I’ll be even more bored at the Villa since my husband doesn’t really come home often!
Arggghhh!!!
I tried to inhale and exhale. I need to calm down. I can still do something. First thing tomorrow, when we return to the Philippines, I’ll talk to Doctor Martino. He can’t just remove me like this.
Annoyed, I threw my cellphone onto the bed and went to the dining area to get something to drink. I didn’t realize that I finished the bottled water in one gulp because of how irritated I was.
I noticed that Huz wasn’t around. I searched for him with my eyes and heard the sound of rushing water from the bathroom.
I went there and saw that there was a jacuzzi… it was already filled with water, and my husband was inside it. Sitting and leaning back. I could clearly see his broad back from where I was standing.
He looked at me, and for fuck’s sake, his view is demonic. His arms rested on the side of the jacuzzi.
I was out of breath. The way he looked at me was unforgivable—like I had made him wait for a long time. I wanted to make excuses, but no words could come out of my mouth anymore.
His forehead slightly creased, and his eyes became inconsiderately seductive. I could also see his jaw clenching as he spoke,
“Get in here. Let’s take a bath together.”
