Chapter 4 Accidental Discovery

On our way home, Jessie treated me awfully, venting all her anger on me. She even went as far as kicking me out of the car halfway home. I asked her where she was going in the middle of the night, but she sped off without even a glance at me, leaving me by the roadside. “F*ck it!” I cursed. My dignity was wounded, but I could only put up with it for the sake of money. After hailing a taxi home, I tossed and turned on the bed, but sleep didn’t come. I can’t just continue living such a life! I’ve already got 300,000 in my bank account, so the only thing is whether Jessie will allow me to leave. But probably not. After all, she married me after expending so much effort, so how could she possibly let me go easily? Plus, I’m still useful to her. Regarding my marriage with her, I’m satisfied financially, but it’s at the expense of my dignity. Judging from her attitude toward me tonight, I’m just a dog she bought as a pet, so it all depends on her mood whether she wants to treat me well or slap me across the face. She doesn’t give a whit about my feelings. Previously, she might have needed me to win Miss Young’s favor for her, which was why treated me amicably. Now that she seems to have run into a wall, she immediately showed her true colors! Nevertheless, I didn’t dare forcibly ask for a divorce, so I heaved a sigh while lying on the bed. “Ah! I can only play it by the ear now.” When I woke up the next morning, I discovered that Jessie didn’t return the entire night, having gone somewhere or other. However, I felt very much relaxed without her at home. After washing up, I went downstairs to have breakfast before driving over to Tiny Diner. My agreement with Jessie is automatically voided now, so I don’t need to remain a virgin anymore! Thus, I planned to ask Jean from Tiny Diner out later and try my luck with her. Upon arriving at Tiny Diner, I ordered pancakes and hash browns. Then, I deliberately chatted Jean up. After undergoing Jessie’s training, I now emanated a noble aura in both appearance and demeanor besides being extremely skilled in my speech. While I still wasn’t at the so-called ‘subtle’ stage, there was a world of difference compared to my past self. With just a few witty remarks, I had Jean giggling away. When I saw that I’d almost had her eating out of my hand, I asked, “Are you free tonight? Let’s go to the bar!” “Sure!” Jean agreed readily. Subsequently, we agreed that I would be picking her up at six for dinner before going to the bar for a drink. After finishing breakfast, I walked out of Tiny Diner while whistling, anticipating nightfall. Tonight is exceedingly important for me, for there’s a possibility of me bidding my virginity goodbye! How exactly will it feel to bed a woman? I fantasized about Jean lying on the bed naked, but very quickly, her countenance turned into Jessie’s. It’s enough even if I only get to have a good time with someone like Jessie once, I mused inwardly. She’s stunning and sophisticated, so Jean is simply an inconspicuous wildflower compared to her, especially when she has a superior aura about her. It’ll be truly gratifying to my male pride to have her underneath me! She’s my lawful wife, so why can’t I have a good time with her? This question flashed across my mind out of the blue. That’s right! Even if I were to strong-arm her, she can’t bring charges against me since we’re lawfully wedded. However, I then remembered the agreement which I signed and stamped my thumbprint before our marriage. That’s not even all. She’s Deputy Mayor Jackson’s woman, so even if she doesn’t bring charges against me if I force myself on her, she’ll definitely make my life a living hell privately! Roses have thorns, so my current ability is only sufficient for me to pluck a wildflower by the side of the road like Jean. As for Jessie, I’ll still have an opportunity sooner or later as long as we remain married. At five in the afternoon, I started getting ready by taking a shower and shaving besides changing into new underwear and socks. Then, I dressed myself in the suit prepared for the meeting with Miss Young before gazing at myself in the mirror. I stood at a height of 183cm with passable looks, so coupled with this suit, I looked exactly like a suave young man. Furthermore, my temperament had changed after this period of training, so I now radiated a sense of confidence. At six on the dot, I drove my second-hand Audi to Tiny Diner. From afar, I could see Jean waiting at the entrance. She wore a short denim skirt on this day that merely encased her butt while baring her creamy legs. On her upper body was a crop top, paired with black high heels on her feet. She was young, so despite losing out to Jessie in terms of beauty, she still appeared extremely vivacious. Then, she slipped into the passenger seat. As her denim skirt was too short, the safety shorts within were actually vaguely visible when she sat down. At the sight of that, I inwardly cursed, D*mn it! This is blatant seduction! It’ll be a waste of your dressing if I don’t bed you today! In order to bed her, I went for broke, bringing her to the Western restaurant in Shangri-La Hotel for dinner and spending more than 2,000 on the meal. After dinner, I drove her to Avenue Bar and ordered a bottle of red wine which we drank as we chatted. We initially sat across from each other, but I was already sitting beside her when we were halfway through the bottle of red wine. As I held my wine glass with a hand, I slowly placed the other on her thigh. It was my first time touching a woman’s thigh, so I didn’t dare go so far, merely resting it lightly on her thigh. It’s really supple and smooth! The moment my palm came into contact with her skin, I couldn’t help shuddering. To conceal my action, I kept talking. When I noticed that Jean wasn’t at all bothered after a while, never once asking me to remove my hand, I became emboldened and placed my hand more firmly on her creamy and smooth thigh. The sensation instantly made me pitch a tent, but fortunately, the bar was rather dim, so she didn’t notice my embarrassing predicament. After some time, I realized that she still hadn’t reacted, let alone chided me, so I grew increasingly bolder. I’ve thought about that part of a woman for a long time, but I’ve never seen it for real or even touched it. Thus, I slowly moved my hand toward the junction of her thighs, my heartbeat inevitably speeding up as my breathing grew rapid. When my hand was just an inch from touching the core of her, Jean abruptly stopped me. “Aw, Hudson, I’m not such an easy woman!” she murmured with a wink before she swatted my hand that wanted to continue exploring. F*ck it! What’s the meaning of this? Why are you winking at me when you’re not allowing me to touch? D*mn it! Are you trying to tease me? D*mn it all to hell! I’ve already spent 3,000 on you tonight, and that would’ve meant bedding ten women if I’d gone to those massage parlors by the roadside! F*ck! I cursed inwardly, chagrined as hell. Outwardly, however, I proclaimed, “I like you, Jean. I’ve liked you for a long time, but I wonder whether you have a boyfriend.” After saying that, I gazed at her affectionately before extending a hand to grope her breast. Internally, I groused, D*mn it! Since you don’t allow me to touch you there, this is fine, no? “I’ve got no boyfriend since I’m still young,” Jean replied while trying to stop me simultaneously. However, her strength seemed puny, so I forcibly broke past her defenses and slipped my hand into her tiny T-shirt. How can I possibly withstand such temptation when I’m a virgin? Nonetheless, she stopped me every time I tried taking things further. When we’d finished the entire bottle of red wine, I seized the opportunity and suggested, “Don’t go home tonight, Jean. I’ll bring you to a five-star hotel for a stay.” I’d thought that she’d gladly agree since I’d touched every part of her except the honeypot between her legs, but unexpectedly, she actually declined. “I’ve got a morning shift tomorrow, Hudson. So, I’ve got to go home and sleep tonight.” “Oh, I see.” My blazing desire was instantly extinguished, and I felt that I was truly too stupid. I’ve spent 3,000 just to grope a breast! If I’d known this would happen, I would’ve just brought her to a roadside stall! F*ck, I’m just godd*mn sh*t out of luck today! I lambasted inwardly. “Next time, Hudson. We’ll go out again next time.” Jean gave me hope again. “Alright, then. But don’t stand me up again next time!” I urged. “Promise!” We’d already finished the wine, and I didn’t want to spend any more money, so I wrapped an arm around Jean and walked out of the bar. “Let’s go for grilled skewers!” “Sure!” When I was about to exit the bar with Jean, I suddenly noticed a familiar figure—Jessie. Why would she frequent such a place? All at once, I was plagued with questions. Why would someone stunningly beautiful and sophisticated like Jessie patronize an indecorous place such as a bar? For f*ck’s sake, she’s even a capable leader herself! “What’s wrong, Hudson?” Jean queried, looking up from my embrace when she noticed me spacing out. “Huh? It’s nothing. Something suddenly came up, so take a taxi home by yourself.” As I said that, I fished out a hundred and stuffed it into her hand. Then, I strode toward the toilet. The moment I caught sight of Jessie, I’d lost all interest in Jean who was in my arms. At the same time, I was also worried, afraid that she’d bump into someone with bad intentions in such a depraved place. After all, I was actually a very traditional man; although my marriage with her was a fake one, and it was me marrying into her family, we had still collected our marriage certificates and held a wedding reception, so I regarded her as my wife deep within me. As she was wearing a tank top and milky-white billowy pants now, it gave her a neutral beauty when coupled with her short hair. I spotted her entering the toilet earlier, so I hid in a dark corner beside the toilet and waited for her to come out. A while later, she exited the toilet and headed straight to the private rooms behind the bar. I immediately tailed her, but she didn’t notice me since the lighting in the bar was dim. Then, she entered a private room, upon which I hurriedly quickened my steps. The private room door was transparent glass, which applied to all entertainment outlets in the city to facilitate inspection. Peering into the room through the glass door, I was greeted by the sight of a long-haired girl in a super short skirt and spaghetti straps. She had an oval face and looked exceedingly alluring. At this moment, they were kissing, and Jessie’s hand had even slipped under the long-haired girl’s skirt. When I saw this, I felt as though I’d been struck by a bolt of lightning. H-How is this possible? It was about ten seconds later when I finally snapped out of my shock. All at once, I hid beside the glass door to avoid being spotted by Jessie and the long-haired girl in the room. Could it be that Jessie is truly into women? But she had sex with Deputy Mayor Jackson… My thoughts were a chaotic mess.
