Chapter 141: Chapter 141

Barbara is a bit relief seeing her father back on his bed, although still sleeping, probably unconscious as a result of anaesthesia. Since the doctor said he will open his eyes anytime, all of them were waiting anxiously for him.

She press soft kisses on her father's cheeks, she was the only one who got the courage to go closer to him. You should wake up fast father, I missed your teasing.

Really? Calvin's voice was soft.

Father! She called, she was about to hugged him when the doctor clear his throat to indicate that she can't do that now. He checked for all his vita sign.

I am fine. The impatient Calvin said, Barbara unconsciously jumped on Dante, he was the one closer to her, his eyes bulge open, he wanted to circle his hand around her but she had already pull from him.

Thank goodness! She hugged Kathleen and then Jeffrey, who is beside Kathleen, and as usual, Jeffrey is always the selfish one that always want to keep Barbara completely to himself, he didn't free her hand, when the doctor gives them instructions, his hand is completely on Barbara.

How is father? Claudia asked as she rush in with Derrick.

The doctor said he is rehabilitating, not to worry, he had open his eyes earlier and he even speak.

Whoa! I really can't wait to tell him the good news. Hazel look at her daughter then the hand's of hers that is interlock with Derrick.

What good news?

Come on mother don't be impatient.

Fine, I will wait since it's good news, I am excited that your father is up and to think that we are scared that he might not be able to do most of the things he could do before, at least, he could speak.

I told you mom, you worried too much. Claudia was overly excited, Kathleen look at her, she looks really suspicious, still is not her business to meddle in Claudia's business since they are not friends.

Hey, I think we should leave him alone for now. Hazel declared, since she is the eldest there, they had to obey her.

Mother, why are they so many security, we were scan thoroughly before entering, do you think...

I really don't know Claudia, I am as surprised as you, when I saw those security, Barbara move his gaze to Dante, she have forgotten, all about the incident and she had no idea of the numerous security around the premises, since she haven't step out unlike Hazel and Claudia that always have one or two things to attend to, hearing it, she knows something is out of place.

Li Jun! She called once, he look at her. Can we talk outside?

Sure! Let's go. Dante said, Jeffrey take a step. Is he coming with us? Dante frustration is at the peak.

Oh Jeff, excuse me, I will just have this conversation alone with him. Jeffrey put up a fake facade, if there is one thing he hate is to watch Barbara alone with that man that called himself Dante or Li Jun whatever they called him, that flashes of him kissing her is one thing that he can't erase from his head.

Let's talk here. Barbara stop him with her words, he look at her. Why are they...

Don't asked me, I really don't know, if you need answer you should asked Gordon not me.

What? Barbara yelled, she really couldn't find Gordon around often and now, Dante is indirectly saying that Gordon is responsible for this security. She picked her phone, place a call to Gordon, she keeps listening to his explain, Dante felt at easy, knowing that Barbara can't say no to Gordon.

Why do you feel I need them, they are much? Barbara voice out.

I don't feel, I know, I don't want to take chances, so live with it while there and don't stay in isolated places, you shouldn't also, go out only, always be in the company of Kathleen or your husband.

Barbara choke then turned her gaze back to Dante, she unconsciously raised her hand then see that the ring is not on her fingers, Dante frown, no wonder, Jeffrey haven't asked about her marriage and is still busy flirting with her.

I have heard, just get back to your work and stop talking nonsense.

Fine baby sister, Lucia send her regards, she hope to be back by weekend to celebrate father's recovery and your marriage.

Can you stop.

Sorry married woman. She end the call, since Gordon seem to be in the mood of teasing her with the marriage, she looks at Dante.

You should go home, you are looking so worn-out and your phone had been ring non-stop.

What will you eat? Barbara look at him, then trace his eyes, her annoying tummy had be growling without her noticing. Come on.

Don't you have to be at work, it's been three days already?

Today is Saturday, so it's means, I will be free, just tell me, what you will eat? He pick the strand of hair, flying in front of her and place it at the back of her ear, Barbara blush inside.

Will you cook?

Do you want me to cook for you? She turned very fast, as soon as Dante smile visited her face, she is turning red already. I will take it, as a yes, Dante take a step closer and peck her neck, she jerk. I will call you when I get home, love. Dante hurry out, she blushed badly, Kathleen and Jeffrey are walking towards her, Jeffrey clenched his fist, with that act, he knows he needed to hurry up, before this mad man crawl back into her life.

****

Barbara come over here. Jeffrey voice was more of command not request, she bottle her feelings then walked to Jeffrey and Kathleen, like nothing happened.

Come on, let's go inside, I am really excited that dad had a possibility of recovery really fast. She is aware that Kathleen might asked her reason for smiling sheepishly, she brings her dad issue to cover that.

So you happy now? Kathleen asked.

Yes, so excited, that I really want to marry you off to Jayden.

Barbara! Kathleen called in frustration, she grimace at Kathleen, then pulled her to herself.

Relax, you don't have to worry, he is a nice man, even though he made a mistake, I am sure, he is not going to hurt you, just trust him.

Kathleen look at Barbara, she would had say Jayden told her something but the truth is, she is with Barbara all through, she didn't take any call apart from Gordon's calls.

Stop it and you Jeff, you should massage my legs, it ache from standing too much. She sit, Kathleen shake her head, is like Barbara had forgotten that she is married already, she is going to discuss that with Barbara and also about her situation with Jayden, for now, she doesn't want to sound selfish, the girl is worried about her father, so, she will wait for everything to fall into place.

****

Meanwhile, Dante is humming inside his car, he try to imagine the look on Barbara's face, when his lips touches her neck then a stupid thought crawl into his head, he would had suck on it, instead of just pecking.

Silly, you should not be thinking about that. He scold himself, he decided to focus on the type of meal to make his wife, she had lost weight this few days, he needs to prepare something more nourishing, to give her strength to do body work.

He laugh at his dirty thoughts, he pushed his hair back in amused, it's a good thing he is the only one inside the car, Jayden will had given him the worse teasing of his life.

It's feels so good, to marry the woman of one's heart, it makes you act crazy and stupid, he pick his phone to call Barbara, the pictures they took at the registrar office had been send to him, they are lovely, it's a good thing, the naughty Barbara was on a short dinner gown that is just hanging a little more than her bum.

This naughty girl, I will have to change her wardrobe. The possessive man said then he send all of them to Barbara at once then call Barbara. Kathleen's eyes bulge out, seeing the name display on the screen, Jeffrey is too carried away that he didn't notice Barbara's hon is calling her.

Hello! Barbara speak, after giving Kathleen a deadly look.

I just arrived home love, I will be back to give you, your lunch.

Stop calling me that, you should sleep before cooking.

No way, why will I sleep when I am hungry?

You are hungry?

Of cause, if my love is hungry then I am.

Unbelievable. She end the call in a hurry, Kathleen wants to laugh, Jeffrey sudden appearance stop her. Barbara is getting Goosebumps and all red with Dante actions and words, she doesn't like how her heart could throb so fast for that insolent man that hurt her before.
