Chap 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 don’t even want to hear my explanation!” She asked. She tried to take Lexi’s hand away.
“I’m sorry Jess, you forgive me, right? I promise I won’t do it again!”
Lexi was sincere with his apologies. ‘I would do anything if Jessica would forgive me.’
“I know you’re grumpy, but I never expected you to be so rude about what I did!”Jessica protested. No, it wouldn’t be that easy to forgive Lexi. She had to make him realize that it was a fatal mistake.
“I’m sorry!” That was all that came out of Lexi’s lips.
“I need an explanation why?” She urged. Forgiving is easy, she just wanted to know Lexi’s reason for acting so rude to her. “I don’t think I must deserve such bad punishment. Before, no one had ever done it to me,” she added, glancing sarcastically.
“Next time, don’t go alone with only Arvel, I don’t like it!” Lexi told. He looked away, averting the probing gaze of the wife.
“What is it? Didn’t you also go alone with Cassandra, you also had dinner with her, and Mr. Lexi even slept in one bed with her! Why are you angry I went with your own cousin?!” Jessica’s protest was still fiery.
Quiet.
“I did have dinner with Cassandra, but I never slept with her!” He said obviously. His expression was quite convincing. “How could I sleep with another woman if I was only seduced by you Jessica!” Lexi came closer to lay her face on Jessica’s chest, now he understood the reason Jessica didn’t want back to his house.
Jessica’s breath hunched over in anger. For a moment she wanted to hit Lexi, who was crawling on her chest.
“That’s really unfair! You can go with anyone but me alone at home and lonely!”Jessica licked her lips. This was still the beginning of her anger.
Lexi shrugged her shoulders. He couldn’t see his wife’s tears welling up.
“I’m not interested in Arvel, I just like going out with him. I feel like I’ve made friends, gained new knowledge, and I don’t feel bored from a day in the room!” Jessica explained. As with Lexi, the two of them were trying to unravel the tangled thread of misunderstanding between them.
“So, you still want to go with Arvel later?” He asked. His eyes closed tightly, heavy to accept the fact that Jessica still wanted to go alone with only Arvel.
Jessica nodded.
Lexi nodded her head. Feeling lethargic with a nod of his wife’s head. “What if I forbid you? What if I don’t let you go with Arvel?” Lexi asked cautiously. He felt a little relieved that there was no more anger in Jessica’s voice.
“Why? He’s good! He’s also not the Beryl you think endangers me!”
“I don’t like it, I don’t like that you go with another man! Beryl, Arvel or whoever! I just want you to go with me Jess! I want you to stay home and wait for me! I’ll take you anywhere,” Lexi said. No, he’d be crazy if Arvel just went out with Jessica.
Jessica was silent.
“I’m jealous of them, Jess, so from now on, I beg you not to go with another man, just go with me!” he pressured again.
Jessica was stunned. She couldn’t believe what Lexi just said.
“I love you, Jess!”
Lexi’s expression of feelings made Jessica’s heart flutter. Really?
“Jess, I love you! I’m jealous you went out with another guy! One more thing, I just want to fuck you, not another woman. Only with you!” Lexi looked up and kissed Jessica’s lips slow down.
However, Jessica didn’t refuse about Lexi kissing her more deeply.

In the morning.
Just before arriving at his office, Arsene received a phone call from Mr. Samuel. He immediately headed to the room office of the highest leadership in the Ricardo Group.
“Morning sir,” Arsene said respectfully.
“Explain this to me! I know you know it, there’s no way Lexi’s just doing this lie alone!” Mr. Samuel threw out a blue folder to him. Inside the folder was a letter of marriage agreement between Jessica and Lexi.
“What is this, Sir?” Arsene got a bad feeling. And Lexi, the lead actor of this contract marriage, would come to the office this afternoon.
“Don’t pretend you don’t know. I’m sure this is all you and Lexi doing, what if my wife finds out! He would be very disappointed if he found out that Lexi and Jessica’s wedding was a fake wedding!” Mr. Samuel looked more disappointed than angry.
“Sorry sir, I know I was wrong! Sorry to disappoint you but I didn’t mean to! I just want to do my best for Mr. Lexi, I think later, Mr. Lexi will fall in love with Miss Jessica and will cancel the marriage contract!”
Arsene bowed.
“What nonsense! You and Lexi are the same! I don’t want my wife to find out! This is your responsibility!”
“I will do my best, I am sure before this marriage contract end, both Mr. Lexi and Miss Jessica will fall in love with each other and cancel it. I promise!” Arsene felt guilty in front of Mr. Samuel. Supposedly, from the beginning he did not need to agree to Lexi’s plan, because now he also received Mr. Samuel’s mad.
Mr. Samuel snorted resentfully.
“You just focus on work! After all, the project for the construction of a city park should fall into our hands! From now on you don’t have to care about Lexi, he is not a child anymore! Just take care of work, let him learn to take care of his own personal life!” the owner of the highest office Ricardo Group said.
“Yes Sir!”.
“One more thing, tell people to find Jessica’s background!” he asked. Mr. Samuel would easily forgive Arsene. But not with Lexi, he would be punished for lying to his parents.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Yes sir, all this time I have been trying and will continue to try to find out about her so that I can meet the family of Miss Jessica.
“Nice.”
Mr. Samuel nodded, his disappointment in Arsene slightly reduced.
