My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 144

Hao asked his chef to bring food to hospital, to pleas Venus.

“Take a sip, Venus, it took them hours to make this soup.”Said Hao, putting a bowl a milk-white fish soup near Venus.

“How is it?” Asked Hao as Venus tasted the soup.

“Pretty good.” Answer Venus, and she did mean it.

That delighted Hao:”So glad you like it, I’ll bring something different tomorrow.”

Tomorrow? Wait, was he planning to come everyday?

Hao’s phone rang before Venus got to say no, he walked outside the room but Venus managed to pick up the talk.

“Mom? Okay, be right back.”

Finally, Venus was already fed up with his enthusiasm.

Hao walked back into the room and said to her gently:”Enjoy it, Venus. I have some things to settle. There’ll be people doing the clean-up after you finish your meal.”

“Okay.” Replied Venus, without even looking at hi, which Hao didn’t mind. He fixed his eyes on her for a little while and left.

Venus took a glance at the door as Hao’s footsteps drifted away, until she was sure that Hao was gone.

What a damn-long morning!

She took her time enjoying the soup after which she started walking around in the room, wondering when the lawyer that Kevin mentioned would come.

She got excited every time she thought about divorcing Kerry, which would eventually set her free.

“You look fine.” There came a man’s voice behind her.

Venus immediately turned around and found Kerry at the door with packed lunch in his hand.

“Don’t look at me like I’m a bad guy,”Kerry walked in and noticed the lunchbox on the dining table, frowned,”You’ve had lunch?”

He was met with Venus’s indifferent silence.

“Then we could eat together.” Said Kerry as he placed the lunch on the table and unpacked it.

“Out!” It was Venus, pointing at Kerry with a knife in her hand.

Kerry was shocked for a while, but soon looked to her and said helplessly:”Can’t I just have my lunch?”

“Out!” She was nearly shrieking, and more emotional,”Or die here!”

“Easy, Venus, easy.” Said Kerry, trying to calm her down.

“Shut up and get lost! Out, Kerry, out!” Screamed Venus, wielding the knife in her hand as if mad, Kerry kept a distance from her, worrying that he might get hurt.

“I don’t like flowers, okay?”

“Okay, I see.” Answered Hao, not upset at all.

He came back with a special in the afternoon, a manuscripts of a famous French fashion designer.

It was a delightful surprise to Venus, she looked at it from top to bottom and from bottom to top, said:”Where did you get this? It’s so precious!”

Hao was delighted as well knowing he picked the right gift, thanks to Xinyou’s advice.

“I can get you whatever you desire, well, except the moon.” Said Hao gently.

Gooses bumps crawled over Venus, but still she smiled:”Thank you, Hao.”

There came a warm smile on Hao’s face as well, since he managed to changed Venus attitude toward him withing just two days.

A stray of hair fell from Venus’ forehead as her attention was caught on the manuscript, Hao put it back her ear and was met with no refusal. It encouraged his confidence.

It took him great effort to get the manuscript, there would be more coming up and he had managed to guarantee that they would all come to Venus.

Soon Venus seemed to smile more often when Hao was around, their relationship were going smoothly to the good side as if all the misunderstandings had never existed.
