Miya is running out of patience for the man in front of her. Why does he have to emphasize their shared moments? Does he mean that they haven’t spent enough time with each other?
“I am just worried about the situation concerning the children and grandma.” Miya can only use a coquettish tone to speak to this man, or else it is highly possible he would blow a fuse anytime since he is someone who is easily envious of others, especially of his children.
However, when she thinks of his envious personality, she inexplicably feels a sense of happiness. Humans are always befuddled with contradictions, it seems.
When Alex sees Miya’s jubilant smile on her face, he somehow feels like he is in high spirits. It seems like this woman in front of his eyes possesses some kind of magic which can always put him in a good mood, despite the fact that he is boiling over with rage just earlier on.
He always feels like he cannot really be angry about her no matter what.
“You can see that I’ve prepared so many surprises and presents for you, shouldn’t you return the favour yourself? Shouldn’t you surprise me in some way?”
Miya never imagines that Alex would suddenly say these words. She is in a frantic state since she actually doesn’t prepare anything in advance. Is this man being too nice towards her? He is really the total opposite of her because of his demeanour.
“About this…” Miya suddenly feels very embarrassed because come to think of it, she never really gave this man any presents before. All she can think about is her children and grandmother and at the same time, she has ignored his feelings inadvertently.
When she takes a closer look, Alex is peering at her with anticipation. She really doesn’t want to let him down, but what can she do so that he would be as happy as she is?
She decides to ask him about his desires directly since she can’t actually come up with anything on the spot.
“Why not you just tell me what present do you want?” Since she really can’t see through his heart and thoughts, she decides to take the direct route by asking him about it. As long as he can give her an answer, she would know what to do.
However, Alex sinks into a deep silence.
Miya thinks that he probably doesn’t want to continue the conversation anymore, judging that no words is coming out of him. The next second, he suddenly launches into a barrage of words, which surprises her greatly and catches her off guard.
“Well, firstly, I hope that we can have some time to ourselves at least one day per week. That means you and me will be all alone in our own world that day. Furthermore, you can’t ignore me like how you usually does. While you’re thinking about the children, please think of me too. I want you to prepare tiny surprises for me every day…”
After listening to his long and winding words, Miya is totally plunged into confusion. She somehow starts to doubt her eyes on whether this man right in front of her is a real man or not. He is even more chatty and repetitive than a typical woman. Women aren’t as bothersome as him too. She can’t believe he is pointing out such meaningless requests, and she is at a loss for words too.
Besides, as a man, he expects her to give him little surprises every day. This request is too unusual. However, she knows very well that this is his way of loving her.
“Let me think about it.” Miya can’t process everything at the moment. She is someone who holds true to her words, so she has to think carefully about his requests before promising him. She doesn’t want to go back on her words and cause him to blame her later.
At that moment, Alex starts to sound anxious, “My wife, while taking into account the fact that I have fulfilled your wishes, shouldn’t you just agree to my simple requests? You know, I have sacrificed a lot in order to bring the children back.”
