There, I did it. He should let me off with this, right? Vania didn't want to continue being played around like this, so she rather received her punishment as fast as possible. Her body couldn't take him teasing her like a cat playing around with its food. After all, human hearts weren't meant to have an irregular heartbeat like the one she was having right now.
However, the reality wasn't so sweet for her. The moment Hanson heard what she said, he stiffened instantly. She really said it. This is too exciting. As he kept replaying what she said to him in his mind, he gradually started to lose control. With a hoarse voice, he whispered in her ear, "What did you say? I couldn't hear you clearly." He wanted to hear her addressing him with that nickname again.
Vania bit her lips, indicating that she didn't want to be further coerced by him.
"Keeping quiet now? Are you telling me that you'd rather die than give in?" He chuckled. Then, he said with a sinister tone, "I just realized just how talented my wife is in acting."
"You only said I had to say it once. I've already done that. You heard it." Vania intentionally lifted her chin as she spoke to him. "An honorable man's word is his bond, so you have to keep your word."
As what she essentially said had him labeled as a petty man, Hanson couldn't help but be impressed with how eloquent she was in speaking. Smiling, he fiddled with her fingers while saying seductively, "You were just too quiet just now, so I couldn't hear you say it very well. Asking you to repeat it isn't over the line, right?"
"What if you say that it's not clear even after I repeated it?" She grabbed hold of the loophole in his words. Now that he has the initiative here, wouldn't anything he says go at this point?
Hanson nodded fervently. "You have a point. That is indeed a problem." Despite what he said, his actions still showed that he was reluctant to let her off his grasp.
"How about setting a standard?" Vania suggested.
Nodding as a sign of approval, he replied, "If you say it again the way you said it just now, then I'm sure I'll be able to hear it well. You do that, then I'll let you off the hook."
"How credible are your words?" Skeptical, she obviously didn't trust the man's words. After all, there had been many cases where the man didn't keep his word. It was to the point where it was the norm that Hanson Luke would go back on his word with her. And seeing how volatile the current situation was, she could tell the man would let loose at any moment now.
"Darling, you have to trust me. As long as you repeat it the way you did just now, I will most definitely let you go." He was at his limits.
"Fine." Her lips twitched as she agreed in a quiet voice. She feared if she didn't do as he said, he would keep her busy until the next morning. In truth, she despised how she was always so indulgent with him. It was because of her that he started taking a mile when given an inch.
Hanson's impatience grew as he noticed Vania keeping her silence. "Are you planning to go back on your word?" If so, I wouldn't mind doing this by force.
With feelings of exasperation, she said, "I wouldn't do that over such a trivial matter." It's just calling him 'Daddy.' So what if I say it one more time? And so, with the same tone she used just now, she said, "Daddy."
Oh, this sweet feeling. "Yeah, you called?" Hanson replied eagerly before he lost control and planted a kiss on Vania's lips.
