Chapter 691

“Jareth, you came back early today,” Thaddeus greeted him, a hint of surprise in his voice.

“Honey, I’m home. I’ve been working hard all day, won’t you come give me a hug?”

There was a twinkle of mirth in Jareth’s beautiful eyes as he stretched his arms out to Marilla. His black overcoat slid to the floor with a careless shrug, but he paid it no mind.

Marilla felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest, but obediently walked over. Like a small kitten seeking comfort, she burrowed into the man’s embrace.

Jareth’s tall frame enveloped her protectively, the warmth from the car ride still clinging to him, seeping into Marilla’s skin and easing her tension.

“Jareth, don’t be mad,” Marilla murmured so softly that only the two of them could hear.

“Mad? Why would I be mad, sweetheart?” Jareth’s voice was a low rumble in her ear.

Marilla hesitated. Her thoughts were clearer now, and she dared not speak further.

“If you did something you thought might upset me, just give me a kiss, and I won’t be mad,” Jareth whispered, his cool lips brushing against her soft cheek.

With her brother Thaddeus and her in–law, Marilla found it embarrassing, but she feared Jareth’s displeasure even more.

So, on tiptoes, she pecked his lips lightly.

But Jareth wasn’t satisfied with just a peck. He cupped her lower back with his palm, deepening their shallow kiss into a tender entwine.

At that moment, Lily came in with a tray of freshly baked cookies and tea. She was accustomed to such displays of affection and offered a polite smile.

“Mr. Thaddeus, Ms. Evadne, please have some tea.”

Thaddeus cleared his throat and took a cup, handing it to Evadne. “Evadne, have some tea.”

“Oh, sure,” she agreed, her gaze returning from the couple.
