After being satisfied with telling her father many things, Anxia decided to go out and look for her husband. Luckily, she didnât have to look for her husband anywhere because Richard was already waiting for her right in front of her fatherâs room.
âHow long have you been in here?â
âNot too long.â
Anxia didnât believe his answer and was sure her husband had been waiting in front of her fatherâs room for a long time.
âWhy donât you go inside?â
Richard gave an understanding smile as he put his arm around his wifeâs waist. âI donât want to interrupt your time with your father.â
Anxia smiled amusedly and hugged her husbandâs arm playfully, and it was then that she felt something entwining her insides.
âWhat is it? Are you nauseous again?â Richard asked in a worried tone as soon as he noticed the slight movement of Anxia, who was now gently stroking her belly. âI told you not to eat pizza, but youâre stubborn.â
Anxia pursed her lips, hearing her husbandâs scolding. âDonât blame me. Blame on that mouth-watering pizza.â was her child-like counter.
.....
âPizza is good, but itâs not the best food in the world.â
âYou never let me win, donât you?â Anxiaâs reference made Richard chuckle again.
Richard took his wife to a London shopping center to improve Anxiaâs mood. And just as he expected, Anxiaâs face brightened again as she looked at the model output of fine clothes arranged in each shop.
Richard pampered his wife with new clothes, bags, and shoes at fantastic prices in Londonâs famous shops. Whatever Anxia wanted, there was nothing he didnât comply with... or so he thought.
âNo. Iâm not going to grant it on this one.â Richard refused flatly.
Anxia chose a bright yellow family t-shirt with a fawn in the middle. The shirt was a sweater-like shirt with different sizesâfor a father, mother, and two kids, and now Anxia wanted to buy four of them and wear them with her husband and two children when they have a picnic together.
Richard had goosebumps at the thought of himself wearing that ridiculous shirt and being seen by so many eyes.
Imagine... the ever cool-looking, noble-like, fashionable Richard has to look like a clown... Richard shivered at the thought. Well, not a clown, but Richard refused to wear the childrenâs themed t-shirt.
âCome on, Richie. Weâve never done this before.â Anxia coaxed while making a puppy eyes face and blinking a few times to break down her husbandâs stronghold of stubbornness.
Richard turned his attention elsewhere to avoid his wifeâs cute face, which would melt his heart.
âRichie, my sweet hubby,â
Gulp!
âDonât! Donât be tempted, Richard! You are tougher than this.â Richard tried to steel his defenses and looked around to avoid his wifeâs puppy eyes.
âIâll let you do anything to me in exchange.â
âNo need. Your body already belongs to me, so Iâm not interested in your offer.â
Anxia clucked angrily, hearing this manâs shameless overconfidence. âIn that case, okay. I will find someone who will wear family clothes with me.â
âAnxia.â
âWhat? You think I wouldnât dare?â
Richard stroked his forehead in resignation. Why did Anxia insist on provoking him this morning? And why did he feel his wife was angry with him?
Anxiaâs level of sensitivity has increased manifold today. âXia Xia, is today your first day?â
âTch. If so, why? You donât want to sleep with me? Okay. Then you will sleep in the guest room.â
âWh⦠what?â
Anxia didnât give her husband a reaction, and she just walked away, leaving Richard still frozen.
âWhat did I do to make her upset? Why do I find it increasingly difficult to understand her heart?â Richard couldnât understand why his wifeâs moods had changed so quickly today.
When his wife woke up this morning, Anxia didnât greet him and went straight to the bathroom. After coming out of the bathroom, Anxia did not look at him and climbed the bed with a lifeless soul-like. And now, why was Anxia angry at her for such trivial things?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Richard glanced down at the yellow sweater with the fawn printed on it that looked cute⦠cute for a kid, not for an adult like himself. Usually, Anxia wouldnât mind this trivial matter so much. Thus Richard was confused by Anxiaâs erratic mood swings.
Should he buy it? After all, he didnât want to see Anxia making a sullen face all the time. He was willing to do anything to please his wife, but this... it was hard to wear that unusual child-like sweater.
Richard glanced one more time at the four different-sized yellow sweaters as if looking at a criminal being interrogated. He felt the fawn suddenly move and dance as if singing the song âBuy me, sirâ made Richard shudder.
He would definitely become the laughingstock of his cousins ??if they saw him in such a ridiculous outfit. But... in order to entertain his sulking wife...
In the end⦠Richard took the familyâs clothes and brought them to the cashier. It seemed like the world was coming to an end because Richard was willing to wear the clothes he disliked the most.
Richardâs world would end when this news reached his two younger siblings, who would tell their cousins ??in the united states.
And sure enough⦠as soon as Anxia looked into the package of clothes Richard had brought, her eyes and faced lit up.
Richard smiled slightly at how easy it was to please his wife. Well, at least this sacrifice was worth it to see the endless laughter from his wife. After all, they werenât necessarily wearing it right now, either. There was still time to prepare mentally before actually wearing these family costumes.
Of course, it wouldnât be Anxia if she didnât destroy Richardâs hidden hopes.
âHubby, how about we go home to pick up the kids? We can just put them on now while walking around the lake.â Anxiaâs suggestion made Richardâs heart stop beating.
âWhat⦠Now?â
âEn! Come on, letâs pick up the kids!â Anxia exclaimed as she pulled Richardâs hand. At this time... the manâs soul evaporated from his body and floated somewhere.
