The President's Secret Wife

Chapter 015 He Was Crazy and Nearly Kissed Her

Jenny was just about to scream when the next moment a familiar voice came from overhead.

“Don’t be afraid. It’s me.”

That voice?

If she heard it right, it was Barret.

Jenny opened her eyes to see his handsome, starry-eyed face, and she was instantly stunned.

It took her a while to realize what was happening, and she mumbled, “Why are you back?”

“Why? You mean I shouldn’t have come back?” Barret raised an eyebrow.

“I thought that you would stay overnight with her at the hospital.”

She hadn’t really expected him to come back, and he’d lost his temper during the day.

Jenny regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, for she sensed that the atmosphere

between them had become frosty.

Just then, Barret suddenly turned off the lights and then lay down on the bed with her in his

arms. He covered both of them with the quilt and his low voice rang in her ears. “Sleep!”

He was so close to Jenny when he spoke that her ears went red from his breath.

In the darkness, they were as cute as the red ears of a rabbit.

Suddenly being held by him and with the smell of him all around, Jenny felt a little

uncomfortable at first.

She clenched her hands into fists and carefully placed them side by side on her chest.

Hesitating for a second, she licked her lips and said in a soft voice, “Well, you haven’t had your bath yet.”

At those words, Barret instantly lowered his head, his hawk-like dark eyes fixed on her grape-like

ones.

The next moment, he gave a pleasant laugh. “How did you know I haven’t?”

“You just got back!”

Barret held her more tightly and said slowly in his magnetic voice, “I came back just as you fell

asleep, but I didn’t disturb you as you were sleeping soundly. I’ve been working in the study after the bath and came over as soon as I heard the thunder.”

Jenny felt her heart skip a few beats as she nestled in his arms.

If she hadn’t heard it herself, she wouldn’t have believed it.

What kind of a man was Barret?

Every time he hurt her feelings, he would then show his care for her.

Yet within two days of her being happy, he would manage to bring tears to her eyes again.

“Why did you come over when it thundered?” Jenny couldn’t help but ask.

“Because…” he said word by word as he looked into her eye with his dark eyes, “I remember someone is most afraid of thunder and lightning and she would cry every time the weather is

like this. ”

Jenny certainly didn’t want to admit she was a coward. Besides, she didn’t remember telling him

that.

How did he know?

“Who… Who would cry? You’re talking nonsense!” Jenny said under her breath.

Barret chuckled, “So who turned on all the lights just now and refused to come out from under the quilt?”

Jenny was speechless.

It was her, but he didn’t need to point it out!

At last, Jenny had to give in. “Fine, I’ll admit it. I’m scared of thunder and lightning, but I’ve never told you, so how did you know?”

Barret suddenly flicked her head with his finger. “Silly girl, not everything has to be told to be known. If you’re caring and attentive enough, you can definitely find it out in everyday life.”

“And how did you find it out?”

“When we first got married, you would always hold the quilt tightly every time it thundered. Then, you became smarter and started to hug me when it thundered. You would make your way into my arms and wrap yourself around me like twine.”

Who did that?

She didn’t!

It sounded as if she were a piglet.

“I didn’t. You must have hugged me because I smell nice,” Jenny blushed and argued.

She had stopped feeling sleepy.

But for some reason, Jenny was actually sleepy again as she smelled his scent and listened to his thumping heartbeat.

“What about him? Does the man you’ve loved for so long know all these habits of yours?” Barret asked suddenly.

There was a silence.

For a long time in the darkness, he did not get a response.

Looking down again, he found that the girl had fallen asleep in his arms with her eyes closed.

Her face was pale and delicate.

Her eyelashes were long, like curling fans, and they would flutter when she spoke.

Now asleep, she looked like a fairy.

Barret looked at her and suddenly reached out as if possessed.

However, his finger instantly retracted when it met Jenny’s lip, as if he had had an electric

shock.

With a sigh, he looked out of the window in chagrin.

“Barret, what are you doing, Barret? Remember, you’ll be divorced soon.”

He wasn’t himself today and even asked her about that man.

Moreover, he had lied.

He hadn’t come back that early. He just rushed back from the hospital when he saw the dark clouds covering the sky and felt a violent storm was coming.

When it came to the reason, even he felt a bit ridiculous.

He was afraid that she would be scared and couldn’t sleep well due to the thunder.

The next day, Jenny slept till the sun was high up in the sky.

She did not wake up until the bright sunshine came in.

When she checked her phone, it was already past nine o’clock.

She took a closer look and saw that there were several missed calls, all from Grandpa.

Jenny immediately called back. She stuck out her tongue and said cutely, “Grandpa, sorry for

being so late in getting back to you.”

And at the other end, Grandpa said with a smile, “It’s okay. Let me guess, my Jenny must be

sleeping late.”

“Why, Grandpa, you guess it every time. I’m so frustrated,” Jenny chirped.

“Sleep is good for you. You can get enough sleep to give me a plump great-grandson,” Grandpa

said cheerfully.

Jenny instantly rubbed her belly and felt guilty.

In fact, she was already pregnant, but she couldn’t tell Grandpa, even though he was looking

forward so much to it.

It was a terrible feeling. She really wanted to say sorry to Grandpa.

“Grandpa, I’m sorry!”

“Silly girl, you don’t have to say sorry. I’m being a bit too pushy. Besides, you are not to blame. It’s just that Barret isn’t doing well enough.”

“By the way, it’s my birthday party soon. Can you and Barret come and stay with me for a couple of days?”

Jenny said obediently, “Yes, Grandpa, I’ll go and get Barret right away. We’ll come and have

dinner with you tonight.”

“Good, I’ll have your favorite dishes prepared.”

“Thank you, Grandpa!”

After hanging up the phone, Jenny got up, washed up, had breakfast and then went to see

Barret.

Jenny knew without thinking that he was with Laura, so she went straight to the hospital.

The door to the ward was ajar.

Jenny reached out and pushed the door open, trying to speak. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

However, she stopped abruptly when she saw what was going on in front of her.

She covered her mouth, hardly believing what she saw.

The golden sun shone into the room and the breeze brushed the white curtains as Barret sat on the bed while Laura was in the bed.

She put her pale, slender arms gently around Barret’s neck with a sweet smile and her red lips were getting closer to his, little by little.
