Chapter 1513 Shall I Kiss You Again
When Johanna returned to the living room, Asel ran over to her and said, “Mommy, you must do your best because if Daddy manages to stick the animals' noses in the correct place and you don't, you'll have to be punished, made to do frog squats!”
“All right.” Johanna nodded with a smile.
Since he and Johanna were going to play while Asel directed from the side, Timothy elevated the blackboard attached with animal stickers to one point four meters before securing it in place.
He offered Johanna to let go first. Without standing on formality, Johanna stood at the designated spot and put on the blindfold.
Asel was spot on when she described the position every single time. With a blindfold on, Johanna fumbled forward and managed to stick the elephant's nose onto the elephant in no time. The prize for the elephant was a box of chocolates.
“You're amazing, Mommy!” Asel cheered for her mother, waving her inflatable hammer.
When it was Timothy's turn, he was a bit clumsy. Even though he had managed to find the tiger on the blackboard, he ended up sticking the nose off, attaching it to its left ear instead.
Asel carried a small box filled with punishment slips over to Timothy, “Pick one, Daddy.”
Timothy reached into the small box, quickly finding the hidden compartment. He then pulled out a slip of paper from within. After reading it, he passed the note to his daughter.
In the next instant, Asel trained her rounded eyes on Timothy. “I can't read it, Daddy.”
Asel indeed practiced reading and writing, but she could only recognize simpler words such as “daddy,” “mommy,” “big,” “small,” and the like. On that piece of paper, she could only identify the word “a.”
Timothy cleared his throat before stating, “It says a kiss on the cheek.”
“I'm the referee, so you can't kiss me, Daddy,” Asel said cleverly. She pulled Johanna over. “Here, kiss Mommy.”
“Do you all also have such a kind of punishment when you play games usually?” Johanna asked Asel in surprise.
“Yes.” Asel nodded “honestly.”
Johanna could not shake off the feeling that Amanda and Lucian would never have come up with such a punishment. After all, children are innocent and naive. It seemed more like an adult's doing.
While she was still wondering about it, Timothy had already wrapped an arm around her waist. “I'm going to kiss you now, Jojo.”
In an effort to keep Asel happy, Johanna turned her face to the side slightly. Timothy leaned in. With impeccable precision, he captured her lips, even prying them open to deepen the kiss.
His lips were warm and moist, his kiss enveloping her with gentleness. It made it all too easy for her to lose herself in him.
After a long while, he finally pulled away. He used his thumb to wipe off the moisture at the corner of Johanna's mouth, his husky voice carrying a hint of seduction. “I'm sorry, Jojo. My kiss fell on the wrong place.”
“Shall I kiss you again?” he asked.
Having been married for five to six years, Johanna understood Timothy's character all too well. He was merely making an excuse and did it on purpose instead.
However, she could not quite say anything about it. She merely pushed him away and glared at him.
With mirth dancing in his eyes, Timothy leaned in and said, “It was my bad. You can glare at me again or even scold me, Jojo.”
“You're sick.” Johanna was struck speechless.
“Daddy is indeed sick. He's running a fever,” said Asel from the side. She then looked up at Timothy and asked in puzzlement, “But Daddy, why do you want Mommy to scold you?”
Racking her brain, she abruptly recalled Lucian's remark. “Is this what's known as masochism, Daddy?”
“Yeah, I love it when your mommy scolds me.” Timothy was in a great mood at the moment. He urged Asel, “Let's continue the game, Sweetie.”
No matter how they played the game subsequently or how well Asel directed, he never once managed to attach the nose to the animal correctly.
The slips of paper he drew from the punishment box stated either a kiss or a hug. On top of that, there were even ones where he had to tell her he loved her and carry her in a bridal carry for three minutes.
Johanna deliberately misplaced an animal's nose once, but the slip she drew from the punishment box indicated frog squats. In a flash, she realized that all that was trickery on Timothy's part.
But seeing that Asel was having fun, she did not expose the man.
