CHAPTER 37- HUBBY


    "I missed you too, Cathie!" Ryan caressed the girl before receiving the basket that Jack had in his


    hands. Giving it to her he said, "This is for you, baby girl. It has got cookies, cupcakes, and candies."


    Catherine took the basket and smiled, "Thank you, Big Brother." Ryan''s eyes picked on the specks of


    dirt that were on her elbow, he carefully dusted them off asking, "Did you fall again?"


    Catherine poked out her tongue, "Floor likes Catherine..." Ryan ruffled her hair spolingly and looked up


    at the housekeeper; his tone, which was warm as the summer breeze just now, turned cold like that of


    ciers all of a sudden, "You are supposed to be watching on her; why is she hurt?"


    The housekeeper knew that the Young Master of the Nguyen n was someone she couldn''t afford to


    offend. "Mr. Nguyen... I... I...." She tried to reason herself but the boy''s gaze and presence were so


    overbearing that she couldn''t even spill a sane word.


    Ryan signaled her to stop, "We are not interested in paying people for free; if you are given a job try to


    do it properly or find your way out of the mansion. Many can fill your ce, respect the opportunity


    given to you. Believe me, it won''t take me a minute to fire your face out of the household."


    His words, zed with ayer of frost, were too hurtful and straightforward to the woman. Maybe he


    was just a 10 year old but Miss Jude knew that none of his words was a bluff, rather he was capable of


    doing worse than just firing her.


    "I... I am sorry, Young Master Ryan. This won''t happen again." She sincerely apologized; Ryan grunted


    before turning his head at the girl. She was cracking the cookies into bits and throwing them at the


    ducks, possibly trying to feed them, "Come here little duckies. Eat the cookies..." The boy smiled before


    grabbing her hands and bringing her in. The housekeeper led the three to her bedroom and went down


    to bring them some snacks.


    Catherine brought a bag full of building blocks and poured them on the mat; passing a block to Ryan


    she said, "Big brother, y with me."


    Jack threw a mocking gaze at Ryan, even though the boy understood what he was implying at he still


    rebutted, "What?"


    The boy yful shrugged before turning at Catherine, "You shouldn''t call him big brother!"


    Catherine was stunned, "Is that so... But... Why? He is big... So I should call him big brother, right!" She


    exined but Jack nodded in refusal, "He is not your big brother!"


    Ryan threw him a dreadful nce warning him to be silent but Jack chose to ignore it as he was


    enjoying being cheeky. The girl was amused; since she was a child her father taught her to be


    respectful to everyone and address everyone as an elder brother or sister. What Jack was telling and


    teaching her waspletely new to the little girl.


    "W... What should I call him then?" The girl asked in a serious tone; she couldn''t wait to crack this new


    mystery put forward to her. Else than Dad, mom, uncle, aunty, elder brother, and sister... There was


    another way of address too?


    "Call him Hubby... Mhmmm mm....m..." Jack started but Ryan hurriedly covered his mouth and hushed


    him down. He grabbed his neck threateningly before whispering in his ears, "One word and you are


    dead..."


    "Cool down... I am sure she did not hear it!" Jack pulled himself away from his arms when the girl


    chimed sweetly, "Hubby..."


    The boys were stunned as they looked at the girl; While Jack started to hear final prayers ringing in his


    ears the other had no idea how to react. The two started at her smiling face, the girl pointed at Ryan


    and said, "He is my hubby... Hihi!"Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    "I... I..." Ryan''s brain nked out listening to her addressing him as her husband. The sea of his heart


    was waving rmingly with unexinable sensations and emotions. Seeing that the boys were mum


    she cocked an eyebrow and asked, "What does hubby mean, hubby!"


    It was his first time in love and he admired this girl a lot; hearing her calling him Hubby, even though


    without knowing, he got his heartthrob. His heart was racing and beating so fast that he was afraid it


    may leap out of his chest any second. Gosh... How beautiful she sounded while calling him hubby; he


    felt butterflies flutter crazily down his stomach.


    His face flushed red and he felt his ears and neck burn and tickle. Her staring at him made him so shy


    that the usually fearless boy sprang up and ran into the bathroom to hide. Jack nodded helplessly,


    "This lovesick, got nervous over a simple address."


    The girl turned at Jack and asked the same question, "What is hubby, brother Jack?"


    Jack let out an awkwardugh, "It''s... It''s nothing, little one. Call him by his name... Haha! It will be


    fine."


    Inside the bathroom, Ryan grabbed his chest to calm himself down. He sshed his own face


    numerous times but the flush refused to subside. Her calling him hubby rang in his ears; he had a spin


    of feelings welling up in his heart right now.


    Would everyone feel the same hearing their crush calling them that or was it just him? Nevertheless, he


    had to admit that he really loved it when he called her. Even though she just called him that mindlessly


    Ryan couldn''t help but think about what he was gonna do once he grows up; he will marry her for real


    in her known attention and consciousness, then she will be rightfully calling him her husband.


    Ryan stayed hidden in the bathroom for some more time before finally taking control over his racing


    heart. "Ryan..." The girl called out; the boy grunted before going back to his seat. Jack didn''t waste


    time before he slowly exined, "She is well behaved; I told her only once and she listened to me.


    The boy nodded but didn''t reply... The time slipped by and the boys were called down by the chauffeur


    to head back home.
