Chapter 425 Viola Wants a Pony
Ormand took a deep breath, but his nose was sore.
Over the past half a year, he had narrowly escaped death several times and had experienced many things with Viola. He had been eager for this marriage license.
Tears misted his eyes. Ormand bit his lip, threw himself into Viola’s embrace, and leaned his face on her shoulder.
Viola patted his broad back and comforted him.
Ormand did not raise his head and sobbed silently.
After a while, he calmed down and said in a steady voice, “The wind and sand are so strong outside that they make my eyes uncomfortable. Viola, let’s go back quickly.”
Viola just smiled and didn’t expose him. “The wind and sand are quite big, making your eyes red. If I stay a few more minutes, my eyes will probably turn red too.”
The two of them held hands, their fingers interlocked.
On the day they got married, Viola and Ormand suppressed all the news and kept it secret.
Without receiving any blessings or attracting any public attention, they spent a quiet and ordinary day as usual.
Before that night, Ormand called Todd and Leia to have dinner together and drink some wine to celebrate.
Todd did not know how to cook. He went to the kitchen to help Ormand.
Leia sat on the sofa, watching TV with Viola and helping Viola peel fruit.
From time to time, the two men’s voices came from the kitchen.
“Ormand, how should we make this dish?”
“Remove the tendons and use your hands to divide it into small sections.”
After a while, Todd asked again, “How many sections should I divide it into?”
Ormand was speechless.
A moment later, Todd said, “How should I peel garlic?
“What shape should I cut the meat into?
“This fresh shrimp is quite clean. Why do we have to devein it? How should I devein it?
“Ormand…”
Ormand endured Todd again and again, and finally, Ormand exploded, “Scram!”
“Oh,” Todd cried and was pushed out of the kitchen.
On the sofa in the living room, the two women stared at him.
Todd scratched his head awkwardly and pointed at the kitchen behind him. “Ormand is in a good mood today. He wants to make us a sumptuous dinner alone!”
Leia snorted at him in annoyance.
“Todd, you are too stupid! When can you become like Mr. Hobson? Learn to cook and don’t force me to work for you!”
“What nonsense are you talking about in front of Viola? When did I force you to work for me?”
Todd did not have much confidence. He walked over and sat on the sofa on the side. “Look at yourself. You’ve gotten fat recently. Your little face is chubby. Who gave you the money? Who made you gain weight?”
“I got fat?”
Leia covered her face in fear. “Viola, have I become ugly?”
Viola smiled and pinched Leia’s soft cheeks. “You’re not ugly or fat. You look good. You’ve become more and more beautiful.”
Leia felt a lot better and glared at Todd. “Viola, look at him. This damned man dared to say I got fat. That’s outrageous!”
Viola nodded seriously and said mischievously, “Yes. He needs to be taught a lesson. The feather duster is in the cabinet at the door. Do you want to fight him?”
“Can I?” Leia’s eyes were filled with excitement.
She had long wanted to teach Todd a lesson.
Viola replied, “Yes. Todd, you’re not allowed to dodge. Leia, you can hit him as you like.”
Leia immediately ran over to get the feather duster from the cabinet and rubbed her hands together.
