Chapter 48 My apologizeArvel just finished taking a shower. He put on his clothes and immediately went downstairs for dinner. Lexi and Jessica must also be downstairs for dinner.He was walking down the stairs quickly and sat at the dining table, but Lexi and Jessica weren’t there.“Auntie, what Lexi has not come down for dinner?” Arvel asked. Mrs. Anna and Mr. Samuel were still busy watching television in the family room.“No, didn't you guys eat out earlier?"Anna asked back.“No, sister-in-law refused to have dinner outside because it was too late!" he answered.“Then you have to eat, I'll bring Jessica something to eat.” Mrs. Anna was loving for her daughter-in-law and was eager to show her care for Jessica. So that Jessica could know, Lexi also has a good mama.Mrs. Anna immediately got up from her seat. He took Rice and chicken. Jessica liked it. Then he got up from his seat and went to Jessica's room.“Lexi, open the door!” Mrs. Anna said."Yes," he opened the door.“Where is
Chapter 49 I love you"Aaa," Lexi asked as he opened his mouth to feed Jessica. “One more bite, please.”Then he took one last for his wife. Jessica opened her mouth, chewed slowly and ended her dinner.“Want more?" Lexi offered. He felt so bad that he almost killed Jessica.Jessica shook her head, then sat leaning against the headboard. Lexi took a glass of water and helped Jessica to drink.“There's something else you need, right?" He offered. He looked at Jessica with guilt. Jessica's eyes managed to make Lexi feel very guilty.It was quiet, Jessica didn't budge. She avoided Lexi's gaze.Lexi still looked at her. He grabbed Jessica's hand with both hands. Then, he grasped it tightly. "Jessica," he whispered in a deep voice.” Yes, " she said, still not looking at Lexi.“I'm sorry, I almost hurt you, you know I didn't do it on purpose,” Lexi said very carefully. He was really sorry. However, it was not easy for him to admit that he was jealous of Arvel.“Why were you so angry? You
Chapter 50 PrankLexi woke up from his sleep. For several days, he had been asking for his rights as a husband. And this morning for the first time, Lexi woke up first. Looking at his wife's face, he had said love that night. However, until this moment, Jessica had never answered her declaration of love. She was still silent, and just doing her duty as a wife.Before getting out of bed, Lexi tidied up the blanket that covered his wife's body. Then, he tiptoed out of his room very slowly, not wanting to wake Jessica.He walked down the stairs slowly as he rubbed his eyelids. He walked to the back garden.“Are you awake?" Lexi asked when he saw Arvel who was sitting enjoying the morning air and drinking a cup of coffee."I always get up early," Arvel replied.“Wake up early or can't sleep?” Lexi looked straight into his cousin's eyes. He needed to confirm something so as not to become a mere issue.Both of Arvel's eyeballs staring forward returned Lexi's gaze. He didn't understand the
Chapter 51 jessica's sincerity“I don't know what you meant, yesterday?"Arsene asked as he took a sip of bitter coffee to relieve his sleepiness this afternoon. Last night he couldn't sleep well. Often woke up because he kept thinking about his boss's words.“Which of my words?"Lexi asked me for the first time not to eat lunch at home, because Jessica was invited by her mom to attend a meal with her socialite gang.“Is it true that you only pretend to love Miss Jessica?” he investigated. He hadn't yet told Kania about the plan with Arvel which failed completely because Lexi only pretended about his feelings for Jessica."Yes."Lexi said obviously.“Sir, isn't that too much? You're just playing with Miss Jessica's feelings. What is your purpose?” He looked closely at his boss.“My dad already knew about my contract marriage with Jessica. Anyway, even if I don't love Jessica I must have a baby. At least, I have to give grandchildren to my parents," Lexi replied.“Then?" Arsene asked w

He could only hope that all will be well.“Boss, I will return to the project!” Mr. Kardi's permission, he must supervise his workers.“Yes, Sir!"Lexi replied briefly. Without looking at the sound source. Then Lexi came back to wait.In less than thirty minutes a doctor came out of the ER. “How is Jessica?" Lexi asked with a serious face."We just finished stitching the torn wound in the patient's back area," the doctor replied.“Are there any serious injuries?” he asked again.“The patient has a slight injury on the right side of the back, and the laceration may be due to a sharp object that scratches his back, there are no serious injuries but to be more sure we will do X-rays and CT scans after the patient is conscious!” the doctor said obviously."Is Jessica unconscious?” A worried expression was still implied on his face. Yes, Jessica was hurt
Chapter 53 enA little careThese three days, Lexi always looked after Jessica in the hospital. He acompanied her to sleep, feed her food, helped her take medicine, and obeyed all Jessica's wishes. The only thing Lexi didn't do was petrify Jessica into taking a shower and changing her clothes. The activity was carried out by the nurses and assisted by their maids. This time Lexi just finished calling Arsene and went back to wait for Jessica.The door to the treatment room was opened. The maid walked out and approached his master. “Sir, Miss Jessica is done, you can come in now! I'll be home soon!” she smiled and felt happy with Lexi's attitude that has been so considerate with Jessica lately.“Mom, are you coming this afternoon?" Lexi asked.“I don't know, Sir. Is there anything I can help you with?” the maid answered, she was still standing in front of Lexi, waiting for orders from this man.“If I can I want the maid or mom thus afternoon come to the hospital to bring rice cake and
Chapter 54 enGood newsIn the evening, Lexi was taking a shower, cleaning himself. The maids took an early break after preparing his dinner. Jessica left the room.

There is a swimming pool also comfortable seating.Jessica came out of the room to find Mr. Samuel and Mrs. Anna still sitting there. Talk about something important about Lexi. Jessica, who originally wanted to chit chat with them, but she didn't do that cause they mentioned her name in the discussion.“Yes, that's it, Lexi and Jessica have already lied to us! They're both just married contracts!” Mr. Samuel, who could not hide the secret alone, said to his wife.“What? Please be more specific, I don't understand!” Mrs. Anna massaged her forehead, feeling dizzy.“So they only had a contract marriage for two years! After that Lexi will give Jessica some money.

This time Jessica entered the room first followed by Lexi who walked behind her.Lexi stood as he closed the door, not forgetting to lock it. His eyes were always on Jessica. His wife graciously stepped closer to the bed and sat there.Jessica looked back into Lexi's eyes. She was smiling seductively at him.“Do I need to wear the red nightgown you bought me?"Jessica asked as she straightened her body to tease her husband.Lexi was still silent, he swallowed without saying a word, watching Jessica sit and breathe was just plain tempting. Moreover, staring at the wife who wore lingerie! It could be that tonight the two of them would not sleep!Lexi's step was getting wider. He sat next to Jessica. They look at each other.
