Free Web NovelChapter 490: She’s Jealous
Michael nodded in agreement. The two of them left the house quietly to get some supper. After they were done eating, they went home. However, they were no longer sleepy. Now that they had eaten, the man had other thoughts in mind.
"Wendy..." Michael sat in bed and looked straight at her with desire in his eyes.
"Since we are not tired, why don’t we do some exercise?"
Wendy naturally knew what Michael was suggesting. She shook her head and turned him down. "The kids are sleeping."
"They have their own rooms. What difference does it make?" Michael smiled even wider. "What’s more, our home has very good soundproofing."
The moment Michael finished his sentence, he lunged towards Wendy. Michael refused to take no for an answer. Wendy was unable to say a word as Michael had sealed her lips with a kiss.
Even though Wendy was no longer tired, she slept like a log after the little exertion.
The next day, Wendy was woken up by the sound of her phone going off. It was Yonina calling.
Wendy answered in a daze, "Hello..."
"Wendy, are you two back in Lake City?" asked Yonina excitedly. "Why didn’t you tell me you were back? I could have picked you up at the airport. I only found out you were back when I saw Mr. York at work today."
"We decided to come back at the last minute..." said Wendy sheepishly. It did not cross her mind to tell Yonina she was back at all. Moreover, they had taken a helicopter from the airport, so they did not need a ride.
"Never mind. I forgive you." Yonina sounded gracious as she said, "Are you two coming into the office today?"
Wendy was now wide awake. She turned to look beside her and noticed the bed was empty. Wendy contemplated before she said, "If this is about work, I think you should ask Michael. " Wendy did not work at MC Enterprise, so it was better to check with Michael.
"I already called Michael, but he said he is busy making breakfast and hung up on me. That’s why I called you," said Yonina angrily.
Ever since Michael went to Rheinsville City, Yonina had been keeping an eye on his business in Lake City. It was simply exhausting for her to keep tabs on Christian on her own. Now that Michael was back, she could not let him sit around and enjoy life while she worked like mad.
"Shall I ask him?" asked Wendy quizzically.
"Never mind," said Yonina. "Just tell Michael to cook for one more person."
The moment she finished her sentence, she hung up. Before Wendy could figure out what Yonina meant, all that was left was the dial tone.
Wendy checked the time to see it was slightly after 8:00 am. After she got out of bed, she saw Michael cooking in the kitchen. Zess was helping the kids wash up.
Wendy walked into the kitchen and hugged Michael from behind before placing her chin on his shoulder and said, "Yonina told you to cook for one more person."
"Is she coming?" asked Michael rhetorically as he raised his brows.
"I think so," said Wendy. "She wants you to get back to work as soon as possible."
"What is Yonina doing? Why is she losing it because I left Lake City for a few days?
Since Christian is busy handling his latest project, he won’t have time to pull any tricks for now." Michael said helplessly, "I am sure she is either unable to stand the sight of me resting, or she’s jealous that we are together. After all, she’s single."
...
Wendy smiled as she said, "MC Enterprise is your company. Why should she help you manage it? She was kind enough to keep an eye on it for such a long time as it is."
"I have helped her too," said Michael. "If it were not for me, Collins Group would be dead meat. I certainly do not see anything wrong with asking her to do me a favor and take care of my business for a few days..."
"You are absolutely right. Can you please just cook for her?" Wendy kissed Michael’s face from the side and smiled as she let him go.
Michael turned around wearing an apron and holding the spatula as he said angrily, "From the looks of it, it’s about time I find her a boyfriend."
Wendy knew Michael did not mind Yonina’s presence at all, so she smiled without saying a word.
Michael continued cooking while Wendy went to wash up.
The doorbell rang about ten minutes later.
Leah immediately answered the door when she heard the doorbell.
Since Leah was very short, she had to stand on her tiptoes to reach the door handle.
Leah raised her head and saw Yonina.
She did not know Yonina well as they had only met a few times.
Leah blinked her big bright eyes as she greeted her. "Hi, Yonina..."
"Leah..." Yonina touched Leah’s little head happily and smiled as she asked, "Where are your parents?"
"They are inside..." Leah stepped aside so that Yonina could enter.
The moment Yonina entered the place, she could smell breakfast.
She followed the scent to the dining room and saw the spread on the table and her eyes lit up. "Don’t tell me Michael made all this food?"
Michael came out of the kitchen with porridge and placed it on the table.
He took off the apron and looked at Yonina smugly. "Don’t you find it amazing that the mighty CEO of MC Enterprise is able to cook well?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Shouldn’t you wait for people to praise you rather than heaping it on yourself?" Yonina rolled her eyes at Michael right away.
Since Yonina was coming over, Wendy changed out of her pajamas.
Yonina ran over to hug Wendy when Wendy came out of her room. "Wendy..."
"Y-Yonina?" Wendy felt she was not close enough to Yonina to warrant a hug.
She had merely collaborated with Yonina to handle Christian previously.
Also, they only communicated via phone and email.
"I am glad you are fine. Michael gathered so many bodyguards previously and even brought Mr. York to Rheinsville City. He told me to handle things at MC Enterprise and refused to tell me what was going on. I was so worried about you two." Yonina sounded anxious. "I am glad that you came back in one piece."
Wendy felt uneasy. Her hand froze before she patted Yonina on the back and smiled as she said, "We are perfectly fine. Don’t worry."
"I am glad you’re fine. I’m so glad everything is okay." Yonina kept repeating this several times.
Yonina was genuinely worried for Wendy.
Although Wendy did not feel Yonina was a friend yet, Yonina certainly treated her as one and perhaps even an idol.
Yonina was very impressed by Wendy’s well-laid plans to get Christian and HG Enterprise into trouble.
It was no exaggeration to say that Wendy was more important to Yonina than Michael. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"Erm..." Yonina still refused to let go of Wendy. Wendy cleared her throat and said awkwardly, "Are you hungry? Have you taken your breakfast? Why don’t you have some?"
Yonina certainly did not hold back. She let go of Wendy and immediately nodded.
....
"I haven’t had breakfast yet. I saw Mr. York at the office, so I knew you two were back." Yonina sounded a little annoyed as she looked at Michael angrily. "Couldn’t you at least tell me now that you are back?"
Michael scooped some porridge for Wendy before scooping some for the children and placed it in front of them.
Leah and Jake obediently climbed up their seats and started to eat.
They had to go to the kindergarten today.
"Tsk tsk tsk. Since when did you become such a perfect husband?" teased Yonina.
"Why have I never seen you working as hard when you dated me?"
"Were you not just a fake girlfriend?" Michael glanced at Yonina. "If you are jealous, then you should find yourself a partner."
"Well, I certainly am a little envious." Yonina watched as Michael took a seat before she asked angrily, "Are you not going to serve me some porridge?"
Michael raised his brow as he placed Wendy’s favorite small steamed bun into her bowl.
He proceeded to look at her as though he did not know what she was talking about.
"Whatever it is, I used to be your girlfriend..." Yonina promptly changed her words when Michael stared at her. "Even if I was just a fake girlfriend, I am a guest, so it’s not asking too much for you to serve me porridge, right?"
"Ms. Collins, let me scoop you some porridge." Zess smiled and stood up immediately and reached her hand out for an empty bowl. After scooping some porridge, she placed it in front of Yonina. "Here you go. Why don’t you try Mr. Lucas’ cooking?"
"Zess, you didn’t have to." Yonina chuckled and felt a little awkward.
She was simply bickering with Michael and did not expect Zess to serve her porridge.
It was no trouble for her to do it herself.
"No trouble at all. After all, you are our guest," said Zess as she smiled.
Now Yonina felt even more awkward when she heard she was a guest.
Michael could not help feeling smug when he saw the awkward look on Yonina’s face.
Wendy laughed as she watched them bicker.
In the past, Wendy would definitely feel jealous when she saw this.
After all, Michael and Yonina’s relationship was rather complicated.
However, Wendy knew Michael only loved her. Also, he was very in love with her.
Hence, she did not feel insecure or otherwise.
Yonina ate some porridge and did not expect Michael’s cooking skills to be pretty decent.
However, she did not go on praising Michael since he was the sort to get cocky.
The moment she praised him, he would get arrogant, so Yonina lowered her head and quietly ate.
Since it was getting late, Leah and Jake were almost late for school.
They quickly finished breakfast and left the dining table.
"Mommy, Daddy, Yonina, we are going to school. Bye-bye..." Leah carried herlittle backpack and said goodbye to them.
"Be careful on your way there." Wendy waved her hand.
"Bye-bye..." said Yonina to Leah after putting down her chopsticks.
After Zess left with the kids, only the three of them were left in the house.
After Yonina had her fill, she reached her hand out to touch her belly.
Yonina had not had a proper breakfast in ages.
Yonina covered her mouth a little awkwardly when she could not help burping.
Michael deliberately mocked her. "Is my cooking so good that Ms. Collins is burping?"
"I was simply too hungry. This has nothing to do with your cooking skills." Yonina raised her head and shook it in denial.
