The President's Secret Wife

Chapter 3

Chapter 003 He Cuddled Her and Slept Like a Spoiled Child

“Take care of yourself.”

Barret said and hung up quickly.

“Okay, I will.”

Although he hung up quickly, Jenny had heard Laura’s voice.

She had heard the words “candlelight dinner” come out of Laura’s mouth loud and clear.

It was so ironic that on their second wedding anniversary, her husband was having a candlelit dinner with another woman.

Laura was really back!

As much as she didn’t want to believe it, it was a fact.

And the fact instantly discouraged her and left her in a state of distress.

Not only now, but two years ago, she had already lost the battle against Laura.

And why would she expect Barret to choose her? Just because she was pregnant?

At the moment, Jenny was glad that she hadn’t said anything, or she would simply make a fool of herself.

She had cried and vented.

Jenny felt much better. Since he had made up his mind, she chose to accept it calmly.

After a shower, she lay down on the bed.

She tossed and turned for a long time. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she received a call from Jerome Cook. “Barret is drunk and rowdy. Come and take him home.”

Jenny wondered, “Wasn’t he spending the night with Laura? Why is he drinking with Jerome?”

She was trying to say, “I’m not feeling well. Can you get someone to drive him home?”

But Jerome had already hung up the phone.

She called back, only to find that his phone had been turned off.

Feeling uncomfortable, Jenny dragged herself out of bed, changed her clothes and asked the driver to take her to the clubhouse where Barret often went.

When she arrived, it was quiet inside.

Barret was so drunk that he was sleeping on the couch. With his long legs crossed, and his tie neatly tied, he looked as handsome as ever.

It had to be admitted that some people in this world were just perfect. They were able to maintain good manners no matter where they were, even when they were drunk as hell, just like Barret.

Jenny had just gotten close enough to throw up in disgust.

She guessed that it was probably the early pregnancy reaction.

Managing to hold it back, she looked over at Jerome. “Why is he so drunk? Wasn’t he with Laura?”

“So you knew it?” Jerome looked at her and sneered, “Your husband was spending the night with another woman and you just let him go?”

Jenny clenched her hands, took a deep breath, and slowly unclenched them.

She replied lightly, “We’ve agreed to divorce. Except for the divorce certificate, he’s actually free, and I have no right to control him anymore.”

“Heh…” Jerome looked at her with a sneer, “That’s very generous of you.” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Jenny, why are you so ungrateful? Don’t you know how Barret has treated you all these years? He’s been caring about you just like the apple of his eye. Why didn’t you try to stop him when he said he wanted a divorce?” Jerome was irritated.

Jenny looked at him in surprise. “I remember that when I married him, you objected strongly to it. Now that I’m divorcing him, aren’t you supposed to be the most delighted? Why are you even angrier than me instead?”

“Things have changed. I didn’t like you then, but now that you’re married, you should cherish it instead of treating marriage like a child’s play. Besides…”

He paused and said meaningfully, “You’re better for him than Laura.”

Jenny called the driver and they helped Barret into the car to take him home.

To her surprise, they met Lionel Smith just as they got out of the car.

“Dad, what are you doing here?”

Lionel looked coldly at Barret. “You’re married now. Behave yourself. How can you be so drunk? You should know better.”

Jenny immediately smiled and said, “Dad, it’s not Barret’s fault. Today is our wedding anniversary, so we had a party to celebrate with some friends. They all took turns to toast me, and Barret felt sorry for me, so he helped me and drank with them.”

Hearing that, Lionel looked less angry. “That’s more like it.”

Then he handed what was in his hand to Jenny. “This is a present from Grandpa and me for your wedding anniversary. Something came up at the last minute and I’m late in bringing it to you. I hope you like it, and I wish that you will go hand in hand and love each other for the rest of your lives.”

“Thank you, Grandpa and Dad. I like it very much. And thank you for remembering it.”

Jenny was genuinely grateful and touched.

“Why don’t you open it and see if you like it?” Lionel asked.

“I’ll like whatever it is from Grandpa and Dad.”

“You’re such a simple, kind-hearted and soft-hearted girl. We all like you.” He looked over at Barret. “If he does anything bad to you, don’t hesitate to tell Grandpa and me. We’ll be there for you.”

“Thanks, Dad, I’ll remember that.” Jenny smiled very brightly.

“I’ll leave now. Have a good night.”

Jenny left Barret with Moore. “Dad, I’ll walk you.”

“No, thanks. You’ll have to take care of him. Get some rest when you’re done.”

“Okay, Dad, see you!”

She managed to get Barret upstairs and finished running the bath water.

When she got out of the bathroom, she found that Barret had fallen asleep directly on the floor.

Jenny suddenly laughed. So he wasn’t always gentle and refined and there were moments when he would forget himself.

She squatted down and reached out to poke him. “Barret, get up and take a bath.”

“Get up, or I’ll leave you alone!”

No response.

Jenny sighed and had to help him take off his clothes piece by piece.

Then she helped him to the bathroom and gave him a bath.

The body wash smelt of rich milk. It was a scent that she had chosen herself and she loved it very much.

But today, it was too strong for her that she vomited several times while bathing Barret.

When she managed to finish bathing him and get him into bed, Jenny thought she could take a break.

However, Barret suddenly turned around, put his arms around her waist and whispered, “Don’t leave. Sleep with me!”

At that moment, Jenny felt such a surge of warmth inside her that her heart pounded uncontrollably.

It was quite like the feelings she had when she met him for the first time. Her heart skipped a beat. It was so sweet and loving.

He usually looked like he was always in control, elegant and calm, and she had never seen him like this.

Her heart was so soft that she suddenly could not bear to push him away.

Fine, it would be their last night.

After the divorce tomorrow, there would be no more chances for them to share a bed.

She would keep their last night in her memory!

“All right.”

She whispered in response as she lay down beside him, and then she took the quilt to cover them both.

Before she went to sleep, her fingers were like a paintbrush gently tracing over his eyebrows, nose, and lips.

Finally, they came to his hand, interlocking with his fingers and holding them tightly.

She just dared to do such things quietly when he was asleep.

In the morning, Jenny woke up to the vibration of the phone.

She was still sleepy since she had been woken up. Drowsily, she grabbed the phone and put it to her ear. “Hello!”

“You are… Jenny?” A woman’s voice came over the phone, sounding surprised.

It was Laura.

Jenny had picked up the wrong phone. It was Barret’s.

With a start, Jenny immediately sat up in bed.

She opened her eyes and took a quick glance at the phone before handing it to Barret. “Laura is on the phone for you.”
