My Pet Husband
CHAPTER 23 The body in the backyard

"Aah!" Daniella was shocked and twisted her body. Jonathan was suddenly behind her. "When are you coming home?" daniela asked him to catch his breath.

"Just now" replied Jonathan.

"So you're in the backyard?"

"Not."

"Don't joke! I seriously. You're not, the one in the backyard?" insist Daniella.

"No. I've just arrived" replied Jonathan flatly.

"If it wasn't you, it would be someone else. Maybe thieves!" exciting Daniella.

"No one's."

"I heard someone walking!"

"I didn't hear anything."

"I heard clearly. Let's go check it out" Daniella said.

"It's better to just sleep."

"When there's a thief how?"

"Nothing."

"Jo, let's check it out. If you're scared, you can stand behind me!" exciting Daniella.

Daniella slowly opens the kitchen door with Jonathan walking behind her. They walked with very careful steps, afraid that their footsteps would make a noise.

The srek! The srek!

Daniella and Jonathan looked at each other, they sharpened their ears. Daniella is sure there's someone else in their backyard.

Busy plants that have not been treated make them a little difficult to walk. The minimal atmosphere of light and cold night makes the fur stand up. Not to mention the sound of frogs as a song of nature.

Jonathan pulls Daniella until their position is reversed. Jonathan was in front of Daniella.

Jonathan crouched down, took the stone. He got up again and threw a stone towards the left, which was assumed to be someone crouching.

Bugh!

"God!"

"Who is that?" shouting Daniella.

A tall figure came out from the bushes while holding his head.

"Mr Brandon?" daniela asked her eyes. A CEO of a large company sneaks into his house. What a very unexpected thing.

Brandon just smiled awkwardly. "He, you guys at home? I knocked on the front door but no one opened the door. So, I'm looking for the back door to knock on the door" Brandon explained.

"I didn't hear anyone pressing on the front doorbell!" Daniella. Obviously he didn't believe Brandon's words.

"I really pressed him, maybe the bell was broken" Brandon said.

Daniella squinted her eyes, deeply distrusting Brandon's explanation. "Why did you come to our house in the middle of the night?"

"That, that, I ...."

"I've sent you a draft. Is there anything less?" jonathan asked cutting Brandon's words.

"Oh, yes. Youre right. Deadline's five in the morning. So, I came to your place," Brandon said.

"We'll just talk inside" Jonathan said.

"Oh, Alright."

Daniella still feels something is strange. Jonathan took the man into the house.

They turn to the living room, Daniella heads to the kitchen to prepare a drink for her guests.

Daniella brews tea for Jonathan and Brandon by occasionally seeing the interaction of two men sitting in the living room.

"Please drink," Daniella bargained.

"Thank you" said Brandon.

Daniella did not leave the living room, she sat down next to Jonathan.

"Huh?"

"There's something important we want to talk about and it's a company secret" Jonathan said.

Daniella stands up reluctantly, she knows that her name is a company secret that should not be known by people from outside the company. However, Daniella keeps her feet even though with a snail-like speed, she still hopes to steal Brandon and Jonathan's talk.

"Why did you come here?" jonathan asked coldly. She believes Daniella is in her room now.

"Em, I just want to come visit" Brandon explained awkwardly.

"You want to make sure there's a body in my backyard, don't you?" jonathan asked flatly.

All of Jonathan's biographies are known to Brandon. Including the history of the house. However, Brandon did know Jonathan long after the bloody tragedy in the house.

“Not that I mean!” singal Brandon's.

“Do you still think, I'm still like I used to be?” lycars Jonathan.

Brandon sighed. “Then, who made the fire in the hotel?”

“Not me,” replied Jonathan calmly.

“Alright, I trust you, J. If you need anything, call me, I'll always be there for you.”

“Thank you.”

Brandon stood up, choosing to leave the house. He found nothing in the backyard. I hope my friend is telling me honestly. If not remember Jonathan's kindness to her first. Brandon would never enter Jonathan's life.

Of the many friends Brandon had, only Jonathan was sincere with him. Therefore, Brandon kept Jonathan completely healed of his illness and prevented him from doing anything terrible.

“Then I go home first,” said Brandon on the doorstep.

“Yes, be careful,” replied Jonathan was about to close the door.

Brandon's just gonna turn around. However, his eyes were fixed on the end of the sleeve of the shirt Jonathan had used. “What blood is it?” brandon asked to stop Jonathan from trying to close the door. Jonathan's shirt had blood on it.

“Nothing, I accidentally broke the glass and accidentally scratched my arm.”

“How's your wound?” cecar Brandon's.

Jonathan rolled up his shirt arm and showed Brandon. Bandages adorn Brandon's arms, about 7 cm above the wrists.

“Can I sleep?” ask Brandon.

Brandon just grinned his forehead. “Ya, sleep.”

Jonathan enters the room while Brandon returns home. Brandon was never afraid of dealing with Jonathan. Because all this time, not once did Jonathan hurt him even when the figure of Nathan was present in front of his eyes.

One thing Brandon knew about Jonathan. The man will protect those whom he deems important. Therefore, Brandon never worried Daniella would be harmed by Jonathan.

***

The blue horizon looks so graceful, the sunlight so warms into the window slit, the typical fragrance of plants smelled in the nose. Daniella started to move her body as she began to feel tightness in her chest.

Slowly her eyelids opened, her gaze fixed on the clock that was attached to the wall of her room.

His gaze began to descend downwards, appearing quite stocky arms coiled in his stomach. Daniella turned her head to the side, looking at Jonathan who was fast asleep beside her.

“Jo, what are you doing here?” daniella asked, trying to shift Jonathan's body around her like a teddy bear.

No word from Jonathan, Daniella pushes Jonathan's body harder. “Jo, wake up!” henta Daniella.

Because of Daniella's shock, Jonathan's awakening. He started to open his eyes. “Good morning,” Jonathan said with a sweet smile.

Daniella was stunned for a second, only this time she saw Jonathan smiling so sweetly. “Pa—gi,” replied Daniella awkwardly.

The cup! Jonathan kissed Daniella's lips. “I take a shower first, don't forget to make me breakfast.” After saying, Jonathan immediately left Daniella who was silent on the bed.

Daniella directly hit her own head, cursing her stupidity. He should have been angry that Jonathan was in his room especially that the man kissed him without consent. Why was he silent like an idiot.

All of Daniella's anger is just stifled in the heart, for some reason she's obeying Jonathan's will. Daniella turns to the kitchen and starts her cooking.

Earlier, he switched to the living room to turn on the TV. Raise the volume of sound to be heard up to the kitchen.

Daniella opens the refrigerator door, picks up a bag of meat, as well as some vegetables. He started cutting the vegetable while hearing the news on television. His hand suddenly stopped. He immediately ran towards the front of the television.

Daniella smothered her own mouth after seeing the news that Cysara died in a fire last night.
