Chapter 109 - Family (1/2)

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.
