“Ms. Cordelia… do you want fruits?”
“Fruits?” Cordelia paused. “No?”
“Then why’s Mr. Zephyr going to the storeroom? That storeroom is basically filled with fruits!”
Cordelia was even more puzzled. Not too long later, though, she saw Zephyr coming out with two big pineapples. He placed them in front of her.
“What… are you doing?” Cordelia took a few steps back.
Zephyr wore a straight face as he uttered lightly, “I’ll get on my knees.”
“You…”
“Darling, we’ve agreed on the rules, right?” He chuckled. “First, my wife is always right. Second, if my wife is wrong, refer to the first rule!
“So, there’s no explanation in this matter. It’s my fault!
“Since I’m wrong, I have to be punished. Nicholas kneels down on a washboard? I’ll kneel down on pineapples!”
Cordelia widened her eyes to stare at him in disbelief.
She caved instantly. The pineapples were thorny. What if he got hurt? She then began to self-reflect like usual.
Even if Alexander liked her husband, he had not done anything rude. Instead, he had taken their sides and protected them.
Having been by Zephyr’s side all these years, she knew what kind of person her husband was. His devotion and loyalty to her were evident.
Why was she throwing a tantrum just now, then? It was unreasonable of her to do so.
Cordelia stood on the spot, regretful, with red-rimmed eyes.
As soon as she wanted to give in, she caught a glimpse of the quirk on the corner of the man’s lips!
Cordelia jolted. She was completely in Zephyr’s grasp again. He knew that she could not bear for him to kneel on those pineapples!
This time, though… she would let him do it.
Cordelia recomposed herself and glanced at him, clearing her throat without giving anything away. “Good attitude in admitting your fault.”
The curve of Zephyr’s lips deepened.
