LOVE YOU, UNCLE

“How could you follow me to Bali without telling me first? You said you had a busy schedule. Then why the change of heart? Or perhaps…”

As they walked towards the lounge where the event was taking place, Randy’s eyes narrowed sharply. He was trying to find out why Ghea suddenly changed her mind and followed him to Bali. He had repeatedly invited his wife, and she had stubbornly refused for various reasons.

“Or perhaps what?”

“Are you jealous and unwilling to let me go on a business trip alone with Stella? Is that it? Come on, admit it.”

Ghea immediately squinted her eyes. As they walked, she took Randy’s hand and gave a small pinch to his waist, making him wince in pain.

“Don’t be jealous randomly! Strawberry, mango, apple, sorry, it’s not on the same level. Why would I be jealous of that fragrance-spreading ghost?”

Randy was astonished and then laughed shortly. Ghea could even call Stella a fragrance-spreading ghost of all things.

“If it’s not jealousy, then what is it? Why bother following me?”

“Well… I just wanted to check. What if Randy here does something with that itching ghost. Even a kindergarten kid could guess that he really likes her.”

“You say you’re not jealous, but why check on me? You should just be relaxed about where I go and who I’m with.”

Ghea ran out of words. Should she believe what her husband said, that this wasn’t out of jealousy? Then, what was the reason for her actions?

“Ah, forget it. Let’s not discuss it. Anyway, I’ll accompany you in Bali until it’s over. You don’t mind, right?”

Randy immediately shook his head. From the beginning, he wanted the girl to accompany him, right?

“Why would I mind? I really like going on business trips out of town with my wife.”

Ghea’s heart immediately pouted. Could Randy speak normally? He already knew that Ghea was easily upset.

“Cheesy,” Ghea said, trying to dismiss the unusual feeling that arose in her.

“It’s not cheesy, Ghea. I’m serious. You’re the only one who’s never really considered me since we got married.”

This time, Ghea fell silent. She felt pricked by what Randy had just said.

Without continuing the conversation, they both entered the lounge to join the event. While walking arm in arm, Randy introduced Ghea to all the business colleagues he met there.

Meanwhile, Stella from a distance watched with annoyance. She thought, if only Ghea hadn’t messed things up, she would be the one standing next to Randy right now, accompanying him as he mingled with business colleagues.

Continuously observing, Stella seemed to be looking for an opportunity. When she saw Ghea standing alone while Randy approached one of his Korean business partners, carrying a glass of drink, Stella approached Ghea. Then, when they were very close, she did an unexpected action.

“Aaahh… oh my God!” Ghea exclaimed, drawing the attention of everyone there, including Randy, who stood not far from her.

Stella, who was carrying a glass of drink and walking towards Ghea, unexpectedly spilled the water she was holding and acted as if it was accidental. Of course, her action made Ghea’s dress soaking wet and shapeless.

“Oh God, Ghea. I’m so sorry… sorry,” Stella said while approaching Ghea. In her heart, she was satisfied to see Ghea embarrassed and now the center of attention for many people. “I didn’t mean to. It seems like my heels got caught in the carpet,” Stella said, handing over a tissue to the girl in front of her.

Ghea remained silent, not responding because she felt embarrassed. Lifting her face, she then found Randy standing in front of her, immediately putting on the jacket he was wearing. Moments later, Randy pulled Ghea to join him and left the event venue.

“Are you okay?” Randy asked when he and Ghea were in the room. Along the way, his wife remained silent, not uttering a word.

“I’m embarrassed. My dress is completely wet,” Ghea whispered with a gloomy expression. “That ghost must have deliberately spilled her drink.”

Randy just smiled and then guided Ghea to sit on the edge of the bed. Meanwhile, he walked towards the wardrobe, taking a towel and the sleepwear that the girl had brought earlier.

“Don’t get angry later. Change your clothes now, or you might catch a cold.”

Ghea nodded, obediently. She quickly got up and headed to the bathroom to change her clothes. Once done, she returned to sit on the edge of the bed, still feeling quite annoyed.

“I have to retaliate, no matter what,” Ghea grumbled. “I’ve been humiliated like this!”

Randy, who was originally standing, chose to sit next to Ghea. He turned his body to deliberately face his wife.

“Come on, don’t think too much about it. Maybe Stella didn’t do it on purpose.”

“Not on purpose, my foot! She was smiling like that. She must be so satisfied making me embarrassed,” Ghea argued, not accepting it. Why was her husband defending Stella?

“Did anyone laugh at you earlier? Well, just don’t think too much about it. It doesn’t need to be blown out of proportion, Ghe.”

Ghea squinted her eyes, getting angrier because Randy acted as if he was letting go of what Stella had done to her.

“Ugh, why are you defending Stella? She embarrassed me. Your wife, brother. You should help me get back at her. Or give her a warning or something. But you’re not doing anything. Or maybe you like her? Yeah, she is beautiful. More mature, sexier. Surely many guys like her, including you, right? That’s why everywhere, good-looking people always get defended. Although, if you really like her, why didn’t you just marry her? Why…”

In reality, Ghea couldn’t continue the sentence that was about to be uttered when Randy intentionally kissed her. The man, without many words, planted a kiss to silence any possible complaints that Ghea might throw at him.

Feeling Ghea’s resistance, Randy cunningly pulled her closer. Drawing her into his body while continuing to kiss softly. Tasting, biting both of Ghea’s lips alternately. Initially, the girl wanted to resist, but gradually she melted and seemed to start enjoying what Randy was doing to her.

“I have never liked Stella, not even a bit, Ghe,” Randy whispered, emphasizing his words after breaking the kiss. Bringing his hand up, he gently wiped Ghea’s lips, damp from the previous kiss. “You should be aware and remember every single word I’ve ever said to you. We’re married. And I have no intention whatsoever of divorcing you. You should learn to love me, just as I love you.”

Ghea absorbed every word that came out of Randy’s lips. Then, after contemplating, should she truly open her heart and learn to love her husband after this?Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
