Awakening of the Scheming Wife
Chapter 51: Kiss? Yes!

Chapter 51: Kiss? Yes!

"Mhmm... I... want... kiss..." She shook her head again and said.

Vernon froze. Well, he did not expect that. "What?"

"I... said... I... want... kiss..." Helena drawled out her words again, but she looked straight into his eyes with determination.

If not for her slurry words and swaying body, he would doubt if she was just acting to be drunk.

"Ummm... let’s talk about that tomorrow morning?" Vernon asked.

"No," Her voice sounded cute as she shook her head like a stubborn little child.

Vernon couldn’t help but chuckle, "Fine, fine. You are the boss."

He lowered his head and planted a soft peck on her forehead. "There you have it. Now, change your dress and go to sleep. Get up."

He helped her get out of the bed without waiting for her reaction.

Before she knew it, Helena was already standing on her feet on the floor. She had a night dress on her hands Vernon had just placed in them and she was already standing in front of the changing room.

She blinked her eyes. [What just happened?]

Now that she was already standing in front of the door, she accepted her fate and entered the room. She freshened up a little and changed her dress before coming out.

She saw Vernon already lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

When she walked towards the bed, she saw a glass of honey water placed on the bedside table.

Helena smiled. No matter how much he acted like he did not care about her, she knew that deep down, he still cared about her.

He looks like he is trying his best to avoid being nice to her. She did not know why but she was sure he was trying his best to do that.

Yet his subconscious reaction was always to take good care of her.

He had yet to realize that fact himself.

She took the glass and drank it with a smile etched onto her lips.

Once done, she got into the bed.

She hugged him from behind just like she did the day before.

But suddenly, she removed her hands from him and got up.

Vernon, who was pretending to sleep, was confused.

He felt her hands on his arm, then she pulled him.

"..."

He had no choice but to turn over as per her ’request’.

Now, he was lying on his back. Helena looked at his sleeping figure and smiled.

He heard her voice right beside his ears, "I said I want a kiss. You idiot."

With his eyes closed, he felt a pair of warm lips over his lips.

Helena’s fingers ran through Vernon’s short hair as she kissed her husband for the first time since their wedding kiss.

She slowly stuck her tongue out and gave a light lick. Since Vernon was ’sleeping’, there was no reaction from his end.

She did not mind and just kissed him for a few more seconds before lying her head on his chest and closing her eyes to sleep.

She felt content taking advantage of her cute husband.

When he heard her steady breathing, Vernon opened his eyes.

He looked at her soft hair in front of his eyes and sighed.

He subconsciously raised his hand to brush her hair gently.

This was a habit he got in his previous life.

He really loved her hair the most. It felt soft to the touch. He knew that she loved it as well as she felt like he was massaging her. So, every night, they would sleep while hugging, with his hand caressing her hair.

"Hmm," Helena moaned and moved in his arms. She hugged him tighter.

Vernon planted another kiss on her forehead before closing his eyes to join her in sleep.

He doesn’t know what to do otherwise. The young Helena had done nothing wrong. So, he couldn’t bring himself to hate her.

Looking at this Helena, the love he had showered on her in his past life would come out like a volcano from time to time.

In his last life, he loved his wife.

He didn’t know how much he understood her or did not, but he was sure that he loved her so much. That couldn’t be denied.

That was why he lost his friend and even family members just because he sided with his lovely wife.

If he had not seen with his own eyes how she had slapped his sister-in-law and pushed his only nephew into the lake, he would have still sided with her no matter how much anyone talked against her in front of him.

(Why do you have to do that? My sister-law cared so much about you. My nephew is only a few years old. How can you hurt them? If only you did not, we could have been a happy couple until the end. Why? Why do you have to do that?)

A single tear slipped from the corner of his eye as he slowly fell asleep.

A soft hand gently wiped that tear away.

Helena raised her head to look at Vernon’s face. She did not understand what hurt him so much. She wanted to help him but she did not know how.

She could only hug him and stay by his side.

***

"This is his card." Vernon gave Helena the police Commissioner’s card and repeated their conversation from the night before to her.

They woke up in the morning, and Helena suffered from a severe headache caused by the hangover.

Vernon gave her some soup for the hangover cure, and that helped her a lot.

She asked him what had happened and why her head was hurting.

"The apple juice. It wasn’t juice as we thought. It’s alcohol," Vernon replied.

"Oh!!" Helena understood immediately. "So, did you meet the commissioner? What happened?"

"I met him at the parking lot when we were leaving. It was like fate helped us. Anyway, here."

Helena took the card from his hand and looked at it. She read the name on it.
