The General Who Hate Chapter 249: The Go-Ahead Signal

Chapter 249: The Go-Ahead Signal

"Are you alright?" Thea asked a bit alard when she saw dark circles under Jeru’s eyes during their breakfast. He seed to be deprived of sleep.

’He must be worried about Keira,’ she thought. "I’m sure Keira is safe. She’s with Zach, and he won’t let anything happen to her. Leon’s body had multiple gunshot wounds on it, and I’m quite sure it was Zach who put them there," she comforted him.

Jeru sighed and unconsciously nodded in acknowledgnt. He continued to eat, but then paused and murmured, "Don’t mind . I’m just exhausted from work. I left a lot of projects hanging when I was away."

’Liar!’ his inner thought chided.

Yes, he was lying. The real reason for his sleepless nights was Thea’s words in the morning of the day they registered their marriage.

"About my duties to you, as a wife... I really don’t mind to do it. I an, all of it..."

Those words had been haunting him in the past few days. He even replayed the CCTV footage to check if he heard it right.

For sure, he heard it well. And if he understood what Thea ant correctly, she had given him the ’go-ahead’ signal.

Jeru stole glances at Thea every now and then. He would really like to confirm his assumption and make sure they were on the sa page because he did not want any misunderstandings between them. But he didn’t really know how to bring it up.

She said ’all of it.’ So would it include being intimate as a couple?

’But what if it’s not what she ant?’ he doubted.

They were now officially husband and wife and Thea had been an excellent wife to him. She would attend to all his needs by primarily taking care of his als, clothes, and so other stuff as well. She had been fulfilling all of his needs except for one...

Jeru sighed. He and Thea were still sleeping separately. He was hesitant to suggest that they share the sa room or to act to his liking because he did not want Thea to think of him as soone who was taking advantage of her situation.

’If I suggest that she sleeps in my room, how would she react?’ he wondered, and another sigh escaped his mouth without him even knowing.

Little that Jeru knew, Thea was observing his every movent. ’What’s with him?’ She puzzled. She noticed his glances at her. It was as though he wanted to say sothing to her but stopped himself because he had qualms about it.

Well, she couldn’t force him to say it, but she, too, had sothing to say...

Thea straightened her back as she spoke, "By the way, I’m thinking of transferring my things to your room if you don’t mind. So we can sleep in one room. I an... That’s the proper way to do things, right? We are already married, so it’s not normal to sleep separately. But, if you are not comfortable with it, it’s also okay to continue the current set-up. You might want your priva..."

"No, not at all! I don’t mind at all... Yes, you can do whatever you like, and I really don’t mind," Jeru quickly cut in before Thea could even finish her last sentence.

Though taken aback by Jeru’s sudden interruption, Thea imdiately concurred, "Oh, alright then. I’ll transfer my things soon, maybe on my day-off this weekend..."

Although it looked like she was just casually ntioning it to Jeru, but she was actually very nervous when she said it. But she knew that she should at least give it a shot.

Gavin encouraged her to follow her heart, to listen to whatever it was telling her before it was too late. He told her to do things that she really wanted to do without any hesitation. She should express herself freely because regret always ca late.

It took her a lot of courage to take the initiative for raising the matter about them sharing the sa room to Jeru. She had waited for him to ntion it first, but he never did. She was worried that he would not prefer it since Jeru seed like a person who really valued his privacy.

But when she ntioned this to Gavin, his only answer was that she would never know if she didn’t at least try. And now that she had tried and succeeded, she was bursting with joy and just wanted to squeal loudly. She was really thankful to Gavin for his encouragent and glad that she followed his advice.

As usual, after breakfast, Jeru would drop Thea off at her work first before heading to his own office.

As soon as Thea went out of the car, Jeru called his assistant.

"Renovate my room imdiately. Make it bigger. Connect it to the vacant guest room next to it to make more space for Thea’s stuff. And decorate the room according to the design she prefers," Jeru instructed.

Then he added, "Make sure they finish it as fast as they can..."

He smiled as sunshine flooded his soul. ’You used to hate it when soone invaded your privacy, right?’ he mocked himself.

Because it was true. All throughout his military training, the thing Jeru hated the most was sleeping with all the other soldiers. He preferred to sleep alone and hated to share his stuff with others. Was he changing now? Because it definitely looked like it. He could not explain why, but he was looking forward to Thea invading his privacy.

The sooner, the better...
