Chap 24
MISUNDERSTANDING
The day before noon, Jessica was sitting on the balcony of her room. She was looking down to the crowded highway from the top of this apartment.
It had been a week, Lexi hadn’t been home. That morning, at night Jessica carried out sexy tips from her mother. In the morning, Lexi left for work very early and she didn’t come home until now.
Without any news via message or by phone. Not only that, Lexi had never contacted him until recently. Lexi also didn’t send message to any of the maids.
Jessica kept guessing what would have made Lexi mad at her.
“Hello,” Lexi’s voice was quiet.
“Hello It’s me Jessica,” Jessica said.
“Yes, what?” Lexi asked. He said with no expression.
“I ask permission, Iwant to go out to meet with Chelsea,” Jessica asked hopefully. “May I?”
“Just tell Chelsea to come to the apartment. I let your friend come but I don’t want you to leave the apartment!” Lexi told her.
“What if Chelsea don’t want to?” Jessica at least wanted to feel the outside air. This week Jessica only was in the apartment. She didn’t leave that. It made her feel bored.
‘Miss Jessica can’t leave the house, that’s Mr. Lexi’s message!’ Jessica remembered the maids said to her lately.
“If Chelsea doesn’t want to, it means you don’t have to meet her,” Lexi explained.
“But …,”
“I don’t like rejection!” Lexi interrupted quickly.
“Well, Sir, uh- I mean my husband. Do you want to tell me when you get back home?” Jessica asked.
“I’ll be home tonight,” Lex said. It has been a week. This night would be memorable to them.
“Where has my husband been all this time?”Jessica asked curiously.
“Save all your questions Jess, I’ll tell you everything tonight!” Lexi replied, he still had to discuss with Arsene.
“Okay, I got it” Jessica said.
Lexi just ended the call.
Jessica had been waiting for Chelsea for half an hour. She began to feel bored.
“Miss Jessica!” the maid called her as she knocked on the door slowly.
“Wait a minute,” Jessica said, getting up from her seat and opening the door.
“Miss Chelsea has come,” the waiter said. “She’s in the living room,” she added.
“Okay, I’ll see her!” Jessica rushed to the living room.
Jessica stepped on her feet, approached Chelsea who was already sitting and waiting for her.
Jessica’s outstretched hand took Chelsea directly into her arms.
“How are you?” Jessica asked. She led Chelsea to sit next to her. It was great to see Chelsea after a week of not seeing her friend.
“Well, what about you?” Chelsea asked.
Jessica nodded, there was no way she could tell Chelsea about what she was feeling. She didn’t want to make her feel worried.
Both of Chelsea’s eyeballs looked at Jessica with a seductive smile. For one week she deliberately did not ask Jessica about her first night with Mr. Lexi. Chelsea wanted to ask directly, and got an answer from Jessica’s mouth.
“Why?” Jessica saw the unusual look on Chelsea’s face.
“How was your first night with Mr. Lexi?”Jessica was silent because she didn’t want the two maids who were currently in the kitchen to hear their conversation.
“I just finished my period two days ago, while Mr. Lexi hasn’t come here since one week ago. We haven’t done it yet,” Jessica answered honestly. It was impossible to admit that Lexi had had sex before in the villa at that time.
“Really?” Chelsea muttered, a little disappointed.
Jessica nodded.
“You said your husband didn’t come home for one week, did he go out of town?” Chelsea looked at her, she knew that Mr. Lexi was very busy. However, she did not know if the man still took work out of town even after her wedding day.
“Yes, it looks like Mr. Lexi, emm- I mean my husband is angry that he didn’t come home!” Jessica was doubtful.
“Mr. Lexi is angry?”Chelsea made sure.
“Yes, Mr. Lexi was angry that I accidentally made a stain on his car seat, it is his favorite car” Jessica explained.
Chelsea frowned. It didn’t make sense for a man like Mr. Lexi who was willing to give a billion dollars for free to Jessica, angry just because of trifles.
“I’m not sure Mr. Lexi is angry about that,” Chelsea said. “Try to remember again, okay?” she asked.
Jessica remembered what happened on the first day of her wedding. The impatient Lexi wanted to ask for her rights, and her sweet attitude. The girl also remembered how unacceptable Lexi was when the wedding had to be postponed for three days.
“I remember, Mr. Lexi was angry when she found out that her car seat was stained with blood, because you forgot that day I had my period!”Jessica said Lexi’s suddenly cold facial expression and attitude were still clearly recorded in her mind.
Chelsea and Jessica both thought. “I don’t think Mr. Lexi was upset that his car seat was stained, I think he was disappointed that he had to postpone he couldn’t touch you! Isn’t that Jessica? Correct me when I’m wrong!” Chelsea said. Jessica remembered the look in Lexi’s eyes when picking up Jessica who ran away at that time.
The look on Lexi’s eyes was unusual. He was angry and there was desire. That was in the opinion of Chelsea who had boyfriend many times.
Jessica was stunned, as if she’d been mistaken all along. She was silent and closed her eyes. She had done something stupid for teasing Mr. Lexi that night! She should have known Lexi better.
Didn’t the guy already say it out loud that Jessica’s touch turns him on? Jessica remembered that night. Her lips kissed Lexi first. Both of her arms were hanging there. Ah, it must had been excruciating for Mr. Lexi.
“It seems that you are right, Mr. Lexi is not angry with me, but he is disappointed that he has to postpone his first night!”Jessica explained.
“Don’t worry, you can do it tonight!” Chelsea were enthusiastic.
Jessica widened her lips to smile. She didn’t even know whether to be happy or sad because of this.

“You’re evil, Lexi!” Mrs. Anna shouted at the son who had just set foot in the living room.
Lexi’s tired face, who had just come home from work, couldn’t understand his mom’s emotions.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“What do you mean Mom?” Lexi asked. His mom’s face turned red with a hunting breath. She was really angry.
“Where Have you been for a week? You let Jessica alone in the apartment while you sleep in another place” she said, still looking at his son angrily.
“I slept in the hotel,” Lexi answered and walked past her mother. He sat on the couch with his head down, holding back anger.
“I can’t understand it, you were impatient yesterday to marry Jessica, and now you even leave Jessica to sleep alone in the apartment, only with maids. Mama really doesn’t know what’s in your brain Lexi!” his mother’s eyes lit up with anger.
Lexi just swallowed, not wanting to answer the accusations from his mom.
“Until when you will be like this? You always play with your life and act as you please. Mama only wants grandchildren and you have chosen Jessica as a bride. And now she’s your wife. Think wisely Lexi!” Mrs. Anna shook her head, then massaged her dizzy forehead. She didn’t understand his son’s way of thinking.
“Mama! You don’t have to be angry at Lexi. Maybe he has his own reasons why he did not come home to the apartment during this one week.” Mr. Samuel, who had been silent, tried to defend Lexi, who was silent.
He had always been that way. Mr. Samuel always defended his son when his wife scolded him.
Silent.
Lexi wanted to explain his reason. His tongue was filled with shame. After all, he was not used to being open to tell about it to his parents.
“Until now mama really didn’t know what you were thinking Lexi!” Mr. s Anna looked intently at her son. Then she closed her eyes tightly and really felt disappointed in Lexi.
Lexi didn’t understand both parents who were so expecting the presence of grandchildren at Lexi’s wedding this time.
Mrs. Anna was getting excited to see Lexi who was silent. It wasn’t uncommon for her son to accept his accusations without giving a defense.
“Should I take you to a psychologist?” Mrs. Anna asked.
Mr. Samuel and Mrs. Anna looked at Lexi, waiting for an answer from their son.
Lexi hesitated, she was embarrassed to reveal the real reason. But if he was silent, his mother would continue to insist even when the time would getting dawn.
“Why are you sleeping in a hotel? Are you cured and able to fuck another woman?” She spoke cruelly. He tried to get Lexi to speak.
“Enough!” Mr. Samuel shouted.
“Lexi, you’ve married Jessica you can’t act as you please!” The tone of Mrs. Anna’s voice was getting higher and higher. She was forcing Lexi to talk, to say something.
“Jessica was on period, mom. I, I have to stay away from her or I will torture myself!” Lexi said. Shame!
Mrs. Anna was transfixed. She felt sorry for being so rude to your son.
Silent. There was no sound in the room. Mrs. Anna and Mr. Samuel looked at each other. They were feeling guilty.
“I’m sorry, I don’t know,” his mom mumbled.
Lexi nodded slowly.
“Alright Ma, I’m going home to the apartment now!” Lexi said goodbye. He got out of his seat.
“Jessica is already waiting in your room!” Mrs. Anna said.
Lexi’s footsteps stopped. He looked at her mother questioningly.
“Jessica is in the upper room, she’s been waiting for you ever since!” She repeated.
Lexi walked slowly towards the stairs. Walk up the stairs slowly. He was imagining his night with Jessica. He was so excited.
Lexi’s footsteps stopped at the door. He paused for a moment before opening it. His heart was beating faster.
