I stayed at home for a few days to recuperate, and Christopher treated me like a queen during that period. Life was too good, and after the scare we experienced, we learned a valuable lesson. It was crucial to live in the moment.
I was lying on the couch and eating some fruits when Sabrina and Zachary dropped by. Christopher was still treating me like a queen and was feeding me after he peeled everything. I got to just sit back and watch tv without even lifting a finger. It was incredible!
Zachary was a boring man and couldn’t bear to see all that, so he inched over and told Christopher, “You have got to stop this. If this goes on, you will end up being a henpecked husband.”
“And what is wrong with that? It just means that my idol is doing right by my dear Eve and is treating her well. Do you have something against henpecked men?” demanded Sabrina as she pinched Zachary’s ear. Zachary thought that he had kept his voice down, but I happened to turn off the tv at that time, so we ended up hearing everything clearly.
“N-no, not at all. Henpecked men are all amazing men, and we should learn from them. Don’t be angry, okay? Increased blood pressure might hurt the baby,” said Zachary as he massaged his ear. He scratched his head awkwardly and added, “Also, everyone’s watching, so please don’t be mad.”
“That’s better,” said Sabrina as she tossed Zachary a glare. She clapped the dust off of her hands and sat on the chair before she commanded him to peel a grape for her.
That got us to laugh aloud. Now that is what I call a henpecked man! I am certainly not as fierce as Sabrina. The way Zachary smiled at Sabrina showed that he didn’t mind. It proved just how much they loved each other.
Sabrina handed an invitation card to me and grinned while saying, “It’s so amazing. Good fortune keeps coming our way. By the way, remember to doll up and be as beautiful as possible on my wedding day, okay? I’m too beautiful, and you can’t steal my thunder no matter how beautiful you are, anyway. Still, you have to stand proud as the date of my idol and be the incredible goddess who matches up to him.”
Goddess… It felt strange to hear someone using that word to describe me. I stood up and stretched a little before I sighed and pointed out. “I think there’s a better chance for me to show up as a mortal maid. The environment I grew up in had definitely restricted my imagination.”
Christopher pulled me into his arms and waited until I instinctively planted a kiss on his cheek before he said, “You are a goddess and the goddess I will spend the rest of my life worshipping.”
I giggled and rested in his arms.
