MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 69

While Cali was driving on the way to the airport, her phone started to ring. Cali took a glance at the caller ID and found that it was Lynda. As soon as she pressed the answer key, a burst of frustration immediately came from the other end of the line.

“Cali! I don’t think I can hold on any longer!” Lynda exclaimed.

“Why? What’s wrong? Is this about work again? You’re already a regular employee, aren’t you?” Cali asked worriedly as she continued to look straight ahead.

“Well, it was a senior who let me stay even under great pressure. He said he was giving me this chance. If I don’t make any progress this month, then I have to leave. Then again, you know that I don’t want to write unrealistic news just to divert public opinion, but now I…”

Lynda stopped and hesitated to continue for a while. Instead, she heaved a deep sigh.

Cali also sighed from the other end of the line. “What is it?”

“Nothing. I just really want to talk to you,” Lynda said. She took a deep breath once more and felt her energy being regained all of sudden. “By the way, why were you able to answer your phone quickly today?”

“I’m on my way to the airport and not in the castle. Princess Nina has come back from her trip, and so Count Nangong asked me to pick her up,” Cali replied.

“Oh, okay, then be careful on the way,” Lynda said.

Cali smiled and thanked Lynda. “I’m driving carefully, so don’t worry much. Now, hear me out, Lynda. If you think this job is not suitable for you, then just go change to another one. As far as I know, it is very easy to offend people if you write news about them,” she advised.

Lynda thought about what she said for a while and replied seriously, “I’ll think about it.”

“Okay. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to tell me, okay? I will try my very best to help you out,” Cali offered.

Feeling quite relieved, Lynda smiled and teased, “Well then help me. I need a piece of big news right now, so can you make one for me?”

“Like I said, I will try my best, but I don’t think I can do something as difficult as that. Why don’t you ask the God?” Cali replied back with a laugh.

“What? I should ask God?” Lynda laughed at this.

Cali also laughed.

The two girls laughed wildly across the phone. The haze on Lynda’s face was starting to fade away, and her mood was being lifted up a little. After a few more chatting, they eventually hung up the phone.

When Cali arrived at the airport, she found on the screen that the flight would be arriving ten minutes later. She then hurriedly looked for a good spot to wait by the exit.

When they got off the plane, John placed a hat on Nina’s head again. Nina reached her hand out and was about to take it off. “Why do I need to wear it again? We won’t be going together later anyway. It’s too hot to wear a hat,” she complained.

“Don’t move,” John said and stopped Nina’s hand from taking the hat off. He lowered the brim of her hat to cover almost half of her face. “This way, I can hold your hand for a little while longer.”

“Okay.” Wanting to see John’s expression, Nina raised her head, but the brim of her hat covered half of John’s face. She could only see his thin red lips, his angular and toned jawline, and his protruding Adam’s apple.

Feeling her cheeks warm again, Nina sighed deep in her heart. ‘John is so beautiful. If we have a daughter, will she be as beautiful as he is?’

John felt her stare and asked, “What are you looking at?” Then, he cupped her face in his hands and pursed his red lips slightly, waiting for her to kiss him.

Besides, there was no one else in the first-class cabin, so he did not hesitate but to lean on and kiss her neck.

The kiss was more like a peck. It was only a gentle touch and yet the lust and desire it had was way more than it should feel.

Nina swallowed. The warmth on her cheeks now spread on her neck like wildfire. John raised the hat a little, and as soon as he saw her, he was stunned for a moment by how adorable Nina looked. After a while, he patted the brim of her with a smile on his face and said, “You are so horny.”

“Well, it is a little exciting.” Nina touched her nose before she turned to John once more. “You are always horny. I’ve learned it from you.” John placed a mask on Nina and himself before taking her hand and walking out of the cabin. “We’re a perfect match.”

“Stop it! Old man,” Nina joked.

John glanced at her and was about to open his mouth to refute, but then he realized that she was indeed right. ‘I am ten years older than her.”

“Well, yes. You are right,” John agreed. Nearing the exit now, John held her hand even tighter. “After a while, I have to let you go.”

Sighing, Nina clenched his hand tighter subconsciously. “Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask. Have you booked a hotel? Is there anyone who will be picking you up? Oh, and before I forget, my mother has lifted the ban on your family.”

“I know. The manager of the branch has arranged everything, so don’t worry much about me,” John replied.

Nina shook her head and said frankly, “I’m not worried.”

John smirked and said under his breath, “If you are so worried about me, then you should come to me earlier.”

‘Was he even listening to what I said?’

Nina wondered defensively.

In a few meters, they would need to turn a corner. After that, they couldn’t hold hands anymore, and one of them had to go first before the other.

After letting go of John’s hand, Nina stopped walking, making John stop as well. “I can only see you tomorrow,” she said.

John nodded, and although he understood, he still was hoping that she still could come earlier than that. She nodded at him, and when she turned around, he walked forward and pulled her to the wall. In an instant, he took her hat and mask off as well as his before bending over and kissing her passionately.

As soon as their lips parted, Nina’s eyes widened in panic. She looked over at the people around them in a hurry. She then felt relieved when no one seemed to pay attention to them.
“You know, we are doomed if someone sees the two of us together,” Nina scolded with a glare.

John smiled at her. The other end of the mask was still hanging on one ear, covering the side of his face from anyone passing by. He gave her another peck on the cheek before his long and slender fingers reach for the other end of the mask to cover his face once more.

“Go, or else I won’t be able to stop myself from taking you with me,” John said, making Nina blush. He then bent down to pick up her hat and mask on the floor.

Nina grabbed her stuff before turning around and walking out. She took her phone out from her purse and turned the flight mode off. As soon as there was signal, her phone started ringing. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Cali.

“Hello, Cali. Are you here to pick me up?” Nina asked.

“Your Highness, I have to apologize for the inconvenience, but could you please wait a moment? I just have something to deal with right now. Is it okay if you wait by the roadside for me? I promise this won’t take long,” Cali replied.

Her voice was trembling a little, making Nina frown with worry. She noticed that something was wrong, so she quickly asked, “Cali, what’s wrong? Are you okay? Are you not feeling well? Did something happen?”

“Oh, no, no, no. There’s nothing to worry about. I just have a stomachache, and I am in the washroom right now,” Cali replied.

“Oh, is it serious? Do you want me to call an ambulance?” Nina asked with worry.

“Oh no! It’s nothing serious. I’m feeling a little better now,” Cali replied.

“Are you sure? Well, that’s good. Take your time,” Nina assured, feeling relieved that Cali was okay.

After hanging up the phone, Nina went straight to the parking lot without any hesitation. She then stopped after seeing Vicente’s car by just a glance.

Not long after, Cali came running towards her. She looked a little pale from a distance, making Nina feeling worried again.

She walked over to meet Cali halfway and asked, “Are you really okay, Cali? You look pale.”

Cali gave her a reassuring smile and then took out the car keys from her pocket. “Your Highness, I apologize once again, but I have diarrhea, so I may not be able to drive. Is it okay if I trouble you? I am really sorry.”

“It’s okay. Your well-being is what matters,” Nina assured. She then reached out her hand to take the keys before helping Cali to the back seat. When Cali was seated comfortably, she closed her eyes and took a rest.

On their way, Nina could not help but glance at Cali several times through the rearview mirror. The more she looked, the more she realized that Cali really did not look that well, and so she decided to call Vicente.

“Hello, Nina. Are you already on your way? I asked Cali to pick you up,” Vicente asked as soon as he answered the phone.

“Yes, she did, but Cali has diarrhea, and it looks quite serious. Call the family doctor to the castle please, and get Cali checked later. We’re on our way,” Nina replied.

“Oh, she was fine when she went out. I guess she must have eaten something unwholesome on the way. You know, Cali could get a little bit greedy for food sometimes, and now look where she is now. Anyway, be careful on the way.

I’ll call the doctor,” Vicente said with a helpless sigh.

“Okay, thank you. I’m hanging up now,” Nina said before ending the call.

As they were nearing the castle, two teardrops suddenly fell from Cali’s eyes. She tilted her head slightly, making the tears fall into her hair.

Nina finally parked the car. After getting out, she opened the door and found Cali crying. This made Nina worry even more. “Is it really that painful?” She asked.

“No, it’s nothing,” Cali assured. She gave Nina a weak smile and stared blankly at Nina’s face. Feeling so many emotions in her heart, she suddenly blurted out, “Your Highness, you are so kind to me. I don’t know what to do anymore.” Tears continued to stream down Cali’s cheeks. Nina was confused by Cali’s words.

‘What does she mean about not knowing what to do’. She wondered.
