Forced Marriage: Escaping Her Monster

Chapter 313 - Be Happy, Kids

"Tired? She\'d be livid!" Jeremy said and sat up. There was a trace of sadness and disappointment in his tone.

"Back to blocked, it is!" he scrolled through his phone.

Jerlina didn\'t say anything. He is right. She probably thinks that Joel has abandoned her and expects him to make the first call to apologize to her.

Well…I don\'t care! I just hope Joel doesn\'t get attached to her again. And she keeps on hurting my Joel. She better stay away from me!

She is not someone who would wish for any relationship to get ruined. But Emma is toxic! And toxic people should be kept away.

"And so…" Jeremy wriggled his brows. "Shall we?"

"Shall we what?" Jerlina bit her lips.

"What a silly wife I have!" Jeremy pinched her cheek. "Should I spell it out for you?"

He nudged her nose with his.

"Let\'s have our first f*ck of this year!"

Jerlina giggled. Only he could make crude remarks and yet make her heart pound.

They went to bed kissing and teasing.

-----

Bobby rolled to his side and saw his wife still asleep. She\'d usually wake up with a slight ruffle from his side of the bed but today she must be too tired to notice it.

Well, she drank alcohol after a long time yesterday.

After his surgery and for weeks, she stopped drinking altogether. She did tell him that she almost wanted to have a shot of his morphine. Usually, she stays away from alcohol but she held on to it very strictly these past few weeks.

She\'s the best.

He placed a kiss on her forehead. And as he did, her mesmerizing scent entered his senses making his abdomen tighten. He\'s been feeling like a monk these past few weeks and since he had an injury to his lungs he was instructed not to do anything that would induce heavy breathing.

And so he had to stay away from his sexy wife. And he didn\'t know if it was the side effects of the handful of medications he is taking, he didn\'t get turned on much either.

It must have been so hard on her to have a giant baby to look after!

He didn\'t want to back off and kissed her forehead once more. She moved slightly and there it was, her perfect lips. And so he kissed them.

She moaned as his hands reached to her full chest and teased her melons. He could sense that she is waking up and he climbed on top of her.

Sometimes she gets mad if he wakes her up this way. Usually, when he does this the days Cia kept them awake at night. But Cia was a darling yesterday and slept the whole night. So he hoped she won\'t be mad.

"Bobby…your…"

As her lively eyes met with his eyes, he felt the last string of patience snap in his brain.

"Today, this is my breathing exercise," he said and kissed her lips.

I\'m doing it today, no matter what!

Scarlett wrapped her arms around his back and soon both their breathing got heavy and the bed started to creak.

A few minutes later…

Scarlett kissed his head as he buried his face in her ample bosom.

"Shameful…" he grumbled and all Scarlett could do was smile.

"Don\'t be like this, baby…" she said softly.

"Did I even last three minutes? You didn\'t even- Huh!" he sighed.

"Bobby…" Scarlett spoke in a husky voice. "I am happy," her voice shook and Bobby supported himself on his hands and looked at her.

Scarlett\'s long fingers trailed through his chest. His chest that used to be ridged with his muscles is now ridged with the scars of the surgical procedures done on him. And he is fine enough to be intimate with her. That is a great improvement on his side.

She is thankful for that.

"You\'re getting better each day and you\'ll get there soon. There is no hurry. I\'ll be here. Don\'t stress yourself," she said placing her hand on his cheek. Her eyes started to mist.

"Did I make you suffer a lot, Kitty?" he asked. His eyes clouded.

His wife should be running around the town being loud and gossiping. She shouldn\'t be crying like this, thinking of him.

"No, the opposite," Scarlett wiped the tear from the corner of her eyes. "You did your best to survive and…" her throat closed.

"As long as you\'re alive, I won\'t suffer. Otherwise, I can\'t…" she sniffed and he hugged her.

"So get your strength back soon," Her voice turned high-pitched as she spoke while crying.

"I love you, pussy," he kissed her forehead.

Scarlett smiled as she heard him say her private nickname after a long time.

As he was talking, they heard the door knock.

"Mom!" he got down the bed pulling up his briefs.

Scarlett quickly wiped her tears and fixed her clothes. They were staying in Daisy\'s house for the night. She almost forgot about it.

And Cia!!

"Where are you going this early in the morning?" Bobby asked leaning on the door, scratching his butt.

"It\'s noon already! What are you two doing still on bed?" she peeked inside the room and Scarlett tumbled around to fix herself.

"Oh, dear!" Daisy was apologetic. "Did I disturb?"

"No! God, mom! Can\'t you just pretend you didn\'t see anything? Why do you have to-" Bobby went red out of embarrassment.

"Why?" Daisy smirked. "You are married. You don\'t have to sneak her in as you did before."

"Did you think I never knew? I never believed it was the cat. I always knew it was her. Pussy- isn\'t that what you used to-"

"Mom! Just shut up!" Bobby pushed the chuckling Daisy through the hallway. "Are you going somewhere?" he changed the subject.

"Yes," Daisy pointed at the kitchen. "Lunch is ready. Cia is fed and is napping. I\'ll be back by the evening," Daisy went on.

Bobby picked up a peanut and threw it in his mouth. "Where?" he asked but Daisy patted his cheek and turned to leave.

"Bye, Scar... Cia won\'t wake up for now. So..." Daisy gave a naughty smile at Scarlett.

"Okay, Daisy!" Scarlett said with a salute.

"Come back soon," Bobby said and Daisy waved her hand.

"Love you, mom!" Bobby waved with a smile.

He had a feeling she is going to meet with her gossip buddies. Only then would his beloved mother be this secretive.

"Bye, Daisy! Love you!" Scarlett walked past Bobby and closed the door returning a smile.

"Be happy, kids!" Daisy shouted as she stepped out of the gate.

Scarlett sighed looking at Daisy. "I wouldn\'t have survived without her help!"

Back when she lost her child, or when she returned here as an addict, during Cia\'s birth and even now… Daisy\'s been a rock by her side.

"I love her."

Bobby shook his head with a smile. His mother is great. So is his wife.

-----

When Jerlina woke up on the first day of the year, it was already past noon. She was surprised to see Jeremy still on the bed.

It was three in the morning when they fell asleep. And he did most of the work and it is acceptable if he is tired.

Jerlina smiled looking at the deeply asleep face of her husband. She rarely gets to see his face in such a vulnerable state. She falls asleep earlier than him and wakes up later than him.

Ah… he is adorable.

Puckering her lips, she placed a little kiss on his cheek.

"You want more, right?" he flipped her and started teasing her.

After tumbling around for a while with her husband, Jerlina was doing the laundry in the night. She\'s been asking about returning for a while now but Joel is just ignoring that question.

She was surprised. It\'s not like she doesn\'t like being alone with him. She never thought he could get this selfish and stay away from his duties for this long.

It was then she received a call. It was Scarlett and the news she informed…

"Joel…Joel!" she ran up to the living room.

"Daisy… she… Scar…"

"What?" Jeremy held her shoulders and looking at the phone in her hand and her tear-filled eyes his heart skipped a beat.

"Daisy…"

"What?" Jeremy shouted. "Jeryl, What happened to who?"
