Chapter 141 Little Cute
Without any hesitation, Luke opens the door of the car quickly and runs into the house. He finds where Jenny is quickly, and then goes towards her with rapid pace. "What's going on?"
He squats down on the ground holding Jenny's shoulder. As soon as she meets his arm, she throws herself into his arms. Their breath are quick and uneven.
Luke freezes in surprise, strokes her back hesitantly and comforts her in a low voice.
Jenny frowns and buries herself in his warm arms. She is holding her feet in pain with another hand. After a long time, she raises her head and timidly looks at the ornament on her side. Following her eyes, Luke finds a sculpture that has just fallen off the table and hit her foot.
"Did you get hurt? How did it fall?"
Jenny shakes her head being fearful.
Something seems to be moving on the sofa.
Luke is a little surprised and he holds Jenny up.
The furniture at home is covered with white dust cloth, and it is hiding under the cloth.
As he lifts the dust cloth, Luke is surprised and slowly puts down his golf club.
A little dark gray cat huddles under the dust cloth, turning its eyes timidly at the two "giant" creatures in front of it.
It is scared looking like how Jenny just was.
"Oh, it's a kitten," Jenny exclaims, feels relieved, and smiles happily.
Luke stands by her side and watches her play with the kitten. His eyes become soft.
"Why is it here?" Jenny looks up and asks Luke.
Luke covers his mouth with a handkerchief, and glances at the wide open door of the house.
Obviously, it just sneaked in.
"What a lovely kitten..."
"Is it hungry?"
"I'll get it something to eat."
Looking at Jenny being busy, Luke doesn't say anything, and just let her do want she wants to do. But the little kitten is poor under Jenny's "care". It's seemingly still unweaned, while Jenny tries to feed it with a packet of biscuits. Naturally the kitten doesn't eat it.
After a while, Jenny is a little worried and asks Luke for help, "why doesn't it eat?"
Luke frowns, turns and takes a bottle of water from the car, then comes out from the kitchen with a plate. He squats down in front of Jenny, crushes the biscuits and soaks them in the water. The kitten hesitates for a few times, but still doesn't eat.
Luke is a little embarrassed.
Jenny also feels upset.
The little cat meows, and somehow touches the biscuit with its paw. Then it withdraws its paw and licks it. It is stunned for a moment, and then hesitates to move to the side of the plate, smelling the milk flavor of the biscuits, and then begins to eat.
"It eats..." Suddenly, there is a flash in Jenny's eyes, with her two dimples deeper.
Luke smiles and looks at the kitten eating with its head down. It is rare to see his tenderness.
"You are so cute, what shall I call you?"
"Meow..."
"What about Little Cute?" Jenny stares at the kitten, as if to seek its approval. However, the kitten is so absorbed in its dinner that it doesn't pay any attention to her.
She turns to look at Luke, "what do you think?"
Luke looks down at them and says, "good."
"Meow..." The kitten, who is eating, raises its head and meows at Luke.
With its unexpected presence, it becomes easy for them to spend two hours.
The cleaners Luke called soon clean the house up. Jenny takes Little Cute to the car to have a rest, while Luke is taking a walk in the yard.
The cleaners are still cleaning the house. They have cleaned up the living room, a bedroom on the first floor, and the kitchen. The rest may be cleaned up the next day.
Luke walks in the yard and looks at the lights of the car nearby. Looking tired, he sits on the steps, lights a cigarette and begins to smoke.
He is not addicted to smoking. He would only smokes when he is upset. He used to smoke rarely, but recently he smokes frequently.
He seems to have no idea in Jenny.
Knowing clearly that their marriage is conditional, he still agreed without even asking what the conditions were. It is not supposed to be happened in him as a wise businessman.
"Meow..."
There is a sweet sound at his feet.
Luke's eyes are a little deeper, and he subconsciously set his feet backward.
Then he sees a pair of round and shining eyes in the night.
Little Cute squats in front of him. It is not as big as his palm. It seems that he is not afraid of him at all. Meowing, it keeps rubbing against his trousers.
What a clingy kitten.
It rubs against people without knowing know who he is, and follows people simply because they gave it food. It's such a silly cat. The one who has fallen asleep in the car is similar. She got married with him like a fool.
And he is wondering if she regrets now.
"Meow..."
Little Cute meows again and tries to grab his trousers, wanting to climb up.
It suddenly occurs to him that when Jenny is drunk, she would rub herself against him too. However, as time goes by, she begins to make a clean break with him. His face clouds, and he suddenly stands up, making Little Cute fall down. He pats the ash on his body, and keeps a distance from Little Cute.
When he wants something, he will get it by any kinds of means. After getting it, unless he doesn't want it anymore, or it should belong to him until he dies.
He admits that Jenny now has become one of his few weaknesses, and he could do nothing about it.
Little Cute hides in the corner for a long time. Seeing that Luke doesn't move again, it immediately follows him. But this time, it dares not to approach him casually and keeps a distance.
His father used to teach him to make others feel distanced from him, and it is quite easy for him.
But he doesn't know how to have an intimate relationship with others, and no one has taught him that.
He goes to the window of the car and looks at the sleeping woman in the car, feeling blue.
Jenny is asleep. At first, she didn't sleep well as she always felt pain in her waist. Later, it seems that someone calls her name. Then, there is a chill creeping over her body, and she meets a warm embrace and throws herself in it.
She hears the sound of meow and the familiar breath, and collapses on the soft bed. In her dream, someone helps her take off her coat and covers her with quilt. She turns over several times, and finally finds the familiar smell in the quilt and falls asleep with a big "heater”.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
