Chapter 196 Is Your Period Starting Today?
Of course. Without love, it doesn’t work.
But last night, he still…

“Let’s go see Grandma first. She can’t stay up late. We’ll alk after she leaves, okay?” Elian suggested quickly.
Liana’s heart still felt sour.
She didn’t want to drag this marriage out for another single day.
It’s clearly just one word from him, and he’s still holding it over her.
He was always so reluctant about things concerning hem So why did he keep seeking her out?
Or… had he been lying all along about never sleeping with Anya? Did he really not fear the curse of ending up without heirs?
Seeing her expression, Elian knew she was overthinking. He paused, then asked, “Is your period starting today?”
Liana’s breath hitched. She couldn’t utter a word.
She hadn’t had a period in months, and she wouldn’t for the next half a year.
“You get a bit temperamental around that time. More… fragile,” he explained, answering his own question.
Fragile?
Liana couldn’t help but look at him. “Who’s fragile?”
“Your husband is,” he replied immediately, a smile touching his lips as he saw her engage.
Don’t mess with a woman on her period.
No, more accurately-don’t mess with Mrs. Locke on her period.
Liana stared at him for a long moment before turning back to the window, her anger simmering but forced down by the fact that she needed a favor.
When they reached the hospital parking garage, she opened her own door as soon as he parked, grabbed her bag, and headed for the entrance without a backward glance.
Elian watched her retreating figure, his hands on the steering wheel. A helpless sigh escaped him.
She didn’t care about his feelings. Not one bit.
Quentin was glued to her day and night-did she really think he could stomach that?
But then he remembered last night, the way she’d eventually whimpered, asking him to be gentler, faster- he finally got out of the car and caught up with her in a few long strides.
He followed her into the elevator. This time, he spoke first, his gaze fixed on her. “You’re not planning on going to Kaelwick with Quentin on Saturday, are you?”

Chapter 196 Is Your Period Starting Today?
Anya’s words had stuck with him.
“Is there a problem if I am?” Liana retorted, annoyed.
Elian ground his back teeth, his expression cooling. “No problem at all.”
He figured, if she really went on a date with Quentin, he’d catch them in the act.
But he didn’t believe that was the case. His wife could only love him.

So, that day, the two of them should be in Kaelwick, ditching all the unwanted spectators. A full day, just the two of them.
There was a small convenience store on the hospital’s first floor. When Elian walked in, Liana was at the register.
She was buying a box of tampons.
Seeing him out of the corner of her eye standing by the door, she said nothing. She paid, took the bagged purchase from the clerk, and walked out ahead of him.
Elian followed. In the elevator, he stood to one side, giving her plenty of space.
He decided to attribute her recent hostility to premenstrual syndrome and watched her, arms
crossed.
It was late. No one else was in the elevator.

Feeling his stare, Liana turned and glared at him.
Elian gave her a faint smile, saying nothing.
simply
Liana could only turn back around, shoving her hands in her pockets and taking a deep breath.
Some people only had to stand there to tie your heart in knots.
Once on the right floor, Elian moved ahead and opened the door to Theo’s room for her.
Liana had to withdraw her own hand from the doorknob and step back slightly. But he was right there, and she froze for a second.
Elian looked down at her, decided not to push his luck and simply held the door open for her to pass.
Liana kept her head down and hurried in. “Grandma, Im going to the restroom first,” she said, making a beeline for the bathroom.
“Eh?”
Rosalind seemed surprised. Theo, lying in bed, also looked puzzled,
Elian closed the door behind him and came in.
“What happened?” Rosalind whispered.
