Chap 27
Uninvited Guest
From two in the morning, until dawn. Lexi didn’t close her eyes at all. He didn’t know why his eyes were always on Jessica.
Their age difference was 12 years. It was so interesting, in his heart he felt relieved because it was legitimate being husband and wife.
Lexi’s cell phone Alarm rings. It’s six in the morning. Four hours didn’t seem to go by quickly, it just passed.
Lexi blew the eyebrows of the woman lying next to her with his lips. There was no way to wake him up. However, remembering so adorable what happened last night. The naughty idea of Lexi flashed through the man’s mind, to make Jessica wake up.
Once again Lexi blows Jessica’s eyebrows to wake her up.
Jessica slowly opened her eyes. While Lexi continued to look at her, he was waiting for the wife to gain full patience.
“You’re up late Jessica!” Lexi shook his head. He was looking at her in mockery.
“so, why?”Jessica asked looking up at Lexi’s face which was about an inch from her face.
“You or I used to take a shower first? it’s already half past seven!” Lexi said in a tone of voice an octave louder than before.
Jessica still stared questioningly not knowing what Lexi’s words meant.
“We have to get down and eat together, at seven o’clock we are already in the dining room or mama will scold you!” Lexi said obviously with a reassuring expression.
Silent. Jessica was still trying to understand Lexi’s explanation.
“Do you or I take a shower first?” Lexi bargained. He really enjoyed this morning. It was comfortable to have Jessica accompany and sleep in the same bed with her.
” Emm-, ” Jessica muttered as she immediately crossed her arms in front of her chest, remembering what they did last night.
“Let’s take a shower together!” Lexi grabbed Jessica’s body and carried her into the bathroom.
There was no refusal from Jessica, besides still not fully aware that her body was very weak even just to walk to the bathroom.
“I can do it myself,” Jessica said, moving her legs.
He didn’t want to argue with Jessica, Lexi immediately put her down. He let Jessica into the bathroom by herself first.
Just as the door closed, Lexi heard Jessica’s screaming from inside.
“What is it?” Lexi quickly ran to the bathroom. Jessica, frightened by the sight of cockroaches, reflexively hugged Lexi.
“There are cockroaches, it’s there!” Jessica pointed at the area under the sink. Lexi’s sense of sight checked where Jessica was headed. However, he did not see anything.
“It’s gone, let’s take a shower! It’s almost seven o’clock, you’re late Jessica!” Lexi grumbled with an angry expression but his heart really felt happy when his wife hugged and asked for protection from him.
“I’m going to take a shower first, my husband? But can you stay here later! After all, why would such a ridiculous animal be here!”Jessica stepped back into the bathroom by continuing to lead Lexi to follow her footsteps.
The bathroom door was closed.
Jessica was still clutching the blanket with one hand. “I’ll take a shower first, Mr. Lexi take care of it!”pointing towards the side of the sink. There is only a transparent glass wall separating them.
Lexi could have gone into the bathroom and observed the wife who was taking a shower.
“Jessica, are you sure you want me to stay here?” Lexi’s lips formed a grin, watching Jessica from toe to toe. He looked down and smiled, seeing kiss marks all over Jessica’s body.
“Don’t look here,” Jessica shouted.
“Who is watching! After all, it wasn’t me who wanted to stand here, it was you who asked me!” Lexi replied. “Did you forget, now you’re my wife Jessica! Not only seeing you, repeating last night’s enjoyment is perfectly legitimate!”
Jessica was indifferent, she let the water above her head flow, wetting her body. She was refreshing at the same time.
Lexi cleared her throat, how could he not observe the most beautiful woman of all the Earth in the morning. Didn’t that beautiful body belong to him for the next two years?
“Don’t look here!” Jessica said she focused on washing her entire body.
“No, hurry up!” Lexi said. He took a bathrobe. Then, when Jessica finished showering, with attention Lexi helped the wife to put it on. He took his wife back and carried her to bed. “Stay here! Wait for me to take a shower! you can’t get off the bed let alone out of the room!”
Jessica nodded. She had no intention of leaving the room. As a result of what Lexi did last night she was really uncomfortable when walking.
In less than fifteen minutes Lexi had finished all his bath rituals. He came out of the bathroom and saw Jessica still sitting in the same place.
“Can I eat in my room?” Jessica said softly.
“Mama will be sad if you eat in room, Jessica. Calm down, I will carry you all the way down! Does it hurt?”Lexi asked seductively.
“No!”Jessica answered quickly. He got up from his seat, stood next to Lexi and took a change of clothes. Quickly he put on pants and a loose T-shirt. “Let’s go down now!” He invited. He ignored the pain down there.
Lexi laughed at Jessica. He began to guess his way of thinking. Lexi would comb Jessica’s hair softly tomorrow. Now, he led Jessica into the dining room.

Lexi and Mr. Samuel are off to work. Now there were only Jessica and Mrs. Anna were sitting in the living room.
“Mom, can I work? I’m really bored if all day I was just at home and doing nothing!”Jessica complained that she did not realize that she had not combed her hair and did not know that there were many marks on her neck area.
“About that, you better just ask Lexi!” the mother said, Jessica was not sure Lexi would easily give permission to Jessica to be free to get out of this house.
“Okay, Ma.”Jessica was out of words. Besides she was quiet, only with Mrs. Grace and Chelsea could talk at length, expressing her heart’s content.
“Here! I want to take you upstairs,” Mrs. Anna asked. She took Jessica to the library. In addition to books there are also stored photo albums of memories when Lexi was growing up
“Yes, Ma!” The mother grabbed Jessica’s hand and led her, so protectively, like a mother holding her daughter’s hand.
The library room, right next to Lexi’s room. “Later, when you and Lexi have children, you will turn this room into your granddaughter’s room, do you agree Jessica?” Mrs. Anna turned the key and opened the door wide.
“Emm-,” Jessica muttered. She knew for sure that there would not have a child at his wedding with Lexi.
“Come in!” Mrs. Anna was excited to show Lexi a picture.
Jessica sat on the couch. It was not comfortable to keep moving, if possible she chose to remain silent in the room.
Mrs. Anna was seen picking up something on the far shelf. Then she turned back to Jessica. The woman sat next to her son-in-law.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Look at this!” Mrs. Anna began to show Lexi photos one by one. At the time of her husband’s baby, school, became a basketball captain, while graduating from University in London. Mrs. Anna opened the last sheet of the album. That was, Lexi’s marriage to his late wife.
Mrs. Anna and Jessica looked at that photo. “What’s her name Ma?” Jessica asked just out of curiosity.
“Her name is Anita,” Lexi Ricardo’s mom said. Her voice, which sounded cheerful, changed into stiffness now. It was uncomfortable to talk about a person in her past who has died.
There was a long pause. They both were silent and speechless.
“Why did she kill herself?” Jessica started guessing. Could it be that he died regretfully married to Lexi?
“I didn’t know the exact reason. But from the autopsy results, Anita is pregnant. She must feel guilty for getting pregnant by another man!” Mrs. Anna answered, discussing Anita it left a wound.
Jessica was silent, waiting for Mrs. Anna to continue her story. She didn’t want prejudice made full of her mind.
“Lexi has never slept with Anita, but the results said that she was pregnant!” she explained, recalling the incident that was so memorable for Lexi.
Jessica didn’t ask any more questions.
The sound of knocking on the door was heard, there was a maid who was standing on the lip of the door.
“Mrs. Anna, there are guests! She’s in the living room waiting for you, Ma’am,” the maid said.
“Who?” Mrs. Anna said. She looked at the back of the maid and it turned out that the uninvited guest was already standing next to the party.
“Auntie, how are you? Where is Lexi I haven’t heard from for a long time?” Cassandra was greeting her. Cassandra, who was already standing without hesitation, hugged the middle-aged woman.
Mrs. Anna returned the hug. She wanted to tell Cassandra that Lexi was married. However, it is unlikely, Lexi himself had said to not tell anyone about it.
“May I see Lexi, I miss him, and don’t know where to see him!” Cassandra was so excited. There was only one in her mind, to meet with Lexi right now.
Mrs. Anna and Jessica looked at each other. Apparently, Lexi’s life was indeed filled with many women. Just as she heard the story after first wife died, another woman came and missed her husband. ‘Is this the woman Mr. Lexi loves?’ Jessica observed Cassandra from toe to toe in her heart.
