The devils sweetheart || Taennie Adaptation [Book 2]

Chapter 228 - Rat blood

Playing with Cutie, Jennie's eyes occasionally flicker to the main door anticipating someone's presence. Her thoughts were in the mayhem. What sort of urgent work did he get that he had to run on the first day of our marriage?

"Are you missing, your husband already?" Irene teased and a giggle erupted from Rosé's lips.

"All the time. Every second, every minute, every hour, every day." Jennie crossed her arms, hugging herself thinking about him.

"Gosh! You are completely smitten by him," Rosé exclaimed thinking back to the days of Jennie's behavior towards men. What a change in her and all credits go to Taehyung. "I can't believe you are married, Jennie. Now I am left alone in our zone." Rosé wiped her tears.

"First clear your name that you are not into women," Irene said.

"It's all because of this man-hater." Rosé threw a pillow onto Jennie's head.

Dodging the pillow, Jennie ignored Rosé and gazed at Cutie. "Hey, Tootie, you haven't told your crush name yet."

Shyly, Cutie started. "My Dad_"

"Why do you keep asking about her crush, Jennie?" Irene's quick voice interrupted their thoughts. Just then Jin arrived with a snack for the three friends and they immediately snatched and dug into the food immediately. "Even malnourished doesn't act like you girls."

Jin then picked Cutie in his arms. "It's time for my baby to sleep."

"No!" Cutie struggled to come down from Jin's arms. "I want to pay with my toys, dad."

"So that you will get up late in the morning and you get the reason to miss your school, right?" Not listening to his pleas, he carried her to the bedroom.

"Pomise, dad. I had somach-ache, in the moning." Cutie yawned laying her head on Jin's shoulder.

"You will have one or the other reason ready. If I hear you have missed the school again, I will throw you into one of those military schools." Sacred that her dad would put her into that den, Cutie did not argue more. Occasionally, Jin threatens Cutie that he would put her in military schools where she can't write letters to her crushes and bully her neighbors. So, she would obediently listen to Jin for a week.

Gently putting her on the bed, he wrapped her favorite spiderman blanket and patted her until she fell asleep. "My daughter is so cute." He kissed her forehead and closed the door before going down. Jin messaged Taehyung but he hasn't got any response. He can't believe his sister is married and he no doubted she would be happy with Taehyung.

When Jennie heard the sound of a car, she threw the spoon and ran outside. There she saw, Taehyung stepping out of the car, as handsome as always. "What took you so long, babylicious?" Jennie clamped her arms around his waist.

"Hectic traffic, sweetheart." He easily lied.

She looked at him with a puzzled frown. Obviously, she didn't buy his theory. As she inhaled his scent and unlike other days, it was not musky cinnamon she sensed. "I am smelling blood on your shirt. Where did you go?" She demanded.

Taehyung's body stiffed at the sudden question. I should have changed the shirt! Taehyung cupped her face and explained. "Perhaps rat blood. While returning from the work, I saw a man killing a rat, and being a kind and generous man, I saved it."

Rat blood? He has no sense of humor at all. Atleast he could have come up with something that I could believe. "I am not buying your_"

"Do you have to ask so many questions when I just arrived?" He shouted at the top of his voice. "Why don't you ask if the traffic was hectic? Why don't you ask if I had dinner? Don't you care about your husband?"

Jennie exhaled a deep sigh. She did not want to argue with him on this topic anymore. She knew he is trying to avoid the topic. "Do whatever you want." She struggled to free herself from his arms but Taehyung cupped the back of her nape, pulling her forward. His gaze moved from her eyes to lips simultaneously sending jitters in her body. She thought he would kiss her lips but instead, he moved his lips to her ear and whispered. "You look f.u.c.k.i.n.g hot when you get angry."

Her face turned hot urgently. Why am I turning on with just his words? "I_I" Taehyung did not let her finish her sentence as he turned her around and pushed against the car door. His arms tightened on either side of her, but Jennie did not feel trapped. He trailed kisses on her neck, slowly, lightly l.i.c.k.i.n.g, softly s.u.c.k.i.n.g. "We gotta stop here, Taehyung...." She whispered looking at the surroundings. They were still in the open space and if her brother caught her, it will turn out to be the most embarrassing moment in her life. Reluctantly, Taehyung pulled back seeing her wariness.

"Let's go." She pulled him into the house.

The moment they went inside, Jennie cleared her throat for attention but there was no reaction. Jin was watching TV while Irene was immersed in her laptop plugging her headphones.

"Lee Seokjin!" Jennie shouted all of a sudden startling everyone.

"What?" Instead of looking at Jennie, Jin gazed at Taehyung questioning him.

Taehyung mouthed 'I don't know' with a shrug. It's out of his mind to guess Jennie's behavior.

"What's your problem now?" Jin asked in a lazy tone.

"My husband has come here for the first time after getting married to your sister and there is no one to receive in the family. Is this how your family treats the only son-in-law of Francis Lee? I am offended by your hospitality." Jennie yelled.

"Drama queen," Jin muttered and signaled Irene to come here to receive Taehyung formally. Otherwise, this brat would complain to Francis and he would come for his life.

"Welcome to our house, brother-in-law," Jin said but Taehyung seems to be deaf to the world now. Husband! She called me husband and defending me in front of her own family.

"Babylicious? Are you there?" Taehyung snapped out of her thoughts when Jennie squeezed his arm.

"Umm. I was a little out of my thoughts."

"It's okay." Jennie smiled and her gaze turned serious when she looked at Irene and Jin. "Prepare the dinner for my husband."

Shaking their heads, Jin and Irene left the place.

Throughout the dinner, both Taehyung and Jennie were acting lovey-dovey which irked the rest of the three but they did not mind. Finally, when the dinner was completed, they exhaled a sigh. As they were ready to go home, Rosé joined.

"I did not bring my car. I will join with you guys."

Irene immediately pulled Rosé by her dress. "She will stay with us, You guys continue." No wonder Rosé still doesn't have a boyfriend.

"I have to go," Rosé whispered.

"Shut your mouth and stay here. I have work with you." Irene whispered back.

"Alright," Rosé said.

Jennie winked at Irene silently thanking her. Throughout the journey, the atmosphere in the car was heated. Jennie was smiling, blushing like an idiot all the way. Are we going to do it today or he has some other plans? OMG! I am excited. She closed her eyes with her hands feeling shy.
