Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Date In The House
Due to their bad experience yesterday, Victoria continued to hold her husband’s hand tightly. She was so afraid he would do something stupid again, even to the point of actually doing it to someone else to protect her. From the moment she woke up until breakfast, Victoria held her husband’s body tightly, refusing to let go for a second. She knew that if she let go, she would regret it for the rest of her life. Fransisca would easily take Matthias from her.
"Tory, I’m done cooking," said Matthias, turning off the stove.
Victoria was reluctant to let go, already feeling comfortable in her husband’s embrace. "I still want to hug you."
Matthias lifted his head right in front of his wife’s face. "You’ve been so clingy since yesterday. Is it because you’re still afraid?"
Victoria nodded shyly. "I don’t want you to do anything stupid again. If you want to do something weird, you have to tell me."
"I promise I won’t do it again." Matthias kissed his wife briefly on the lips. "This is proof of my promise to you."
Victoria smiled shyly and kissed him on the lips. "I trust you. Actually, you don’t need to prove it with this." She broke the hug for a moment. "I’m hungry. I can’t wait to try your cooking."
"Then, you have to taste my very special cooking today."
Even though today was a holiday, Matthias still didn’t want to let them go on another date outside the house. He was still traumatized by yesterday’s incident. He didn’t know what evil plan Fransisca would devise after successfully deceiving him yesterday. Seeing Fransisca’s behavior as more dangerous than Gianna’s, he became even more wary, as a wrong move could put Victoria’s life in danger.
Just gardening in the backyard was enough to make his heart flutter. He loved looking at his wife, who always smiled, even when doing simple things.
"Tory, don’t you feel hot?"
Victoria watered the sunflowers while swinging her husband’s left hand. "If I get too hot, will you take me swimming again and devour me?" A mischievous smile spread across her face. "I know you’re going to devour me again, you should just admit it."
"Not for now." Matthias ruffled his wife’s hair with a mischievous laugh. "So you want it more than I do. You have a very dirty mind, too. Who taught you that?"
"You." Victoria blinked her right eye.
His eyes widened. "Me? I never taught you anything openly! I’ve only taught you how to do business or fight people all this time."
For a moment, Victoria set the watering can on the floor. Then, she wrapped her arms around her husband’s waist. "Everything you’ve done, I’ve been secretly studying it."
"Victoria, so it’s safe to say you wanted it." A mischievous smile spread across his face. "Should we do it again?"
"No way! I’d rather learn a new recipe. Actually, a few days ago I studied a video on how to cook a new recipe on the internet."
Victoria immediately ran away from her husband before her body could get any hotter. She was actually very embarrassed every time she thought about their steamy scenes, as she always devoured him without thinking. She admitted that doing so was always addictive. Therefore, she had to control her urges so they could enjoy other enjoyable activities today.
They re-entered the luxurious house, chasing each other. Victoria didn’t actually mean to play tag with her husband, but he kept chasing her.
"Matty, if you keep chasing me, I won’t cook for you!"
"Okay, I was wondering what you were actually going to cook." Matthias swiftly carried his wife’s body.
Victoria rolled her eyes and patted her husband’s shoulder. "If you carry me, I can’t cook. Aren’t you curious about what recipes I’m going to learn?"
"Actually, I’m really curious. But I also want to carry you."
"I never thought you were even naughtier than me, Matty! Now you have to put me down!"
"What if I don’t want to?" Matthias blinked innocently.
"I won’t share it with you later!"
"So you’re so stingy! Should I punish you?"
Victoria swallowed nervously as she wrapped her arms around her husband’s neck. She’d been feeling uneasy about herself lately. They’d had a bit too much sex yesterday, and if they did it again, she’d be pregnant again at the wrong time. Thinking about that terrible moment had already made her heart fragile. Should she tell Matthias she didn’t want to have a child for the time being until things calmed down? Especially since she hadn’t yet caught and proven Fransisca was the criminal who’d been trying to kill her.
"Tory, did I say something wrong?"
Victoria shook her head weakly. "No. I just have a lot on my mind."
Matthias spontaneously let his wife stand in front of him again. "Okay, I won’t bother you anymore. Sorry if I was too nosy earlier."
"I actually really like how you’re being nosy. In fact, the more you’re nosy, the more I like it."
"But, why do you look sad?"
"No. I’m thinking about how I can cook a new recipe right now."
Just as Victoria was about to open the refrigerator, she immediately slapped her forehead. "Matty, we even forgot to buy groceries again!"
"Okay, let’s go to the supermarket now. We’ll just go for a while and then come back."
*****
Due to it being a holiday, the supermarket was crowded, forcing Matthias to park his car in a parking lot quite far from the supermarket. They were forced to walk to the supermarket from the parking lot.
Matthias was still holding his wife’s hand tightly while swinging it happily.
"It’s been a long time since we’ve shopped together," said Matthias.
"This is the result of you wanting to divorce me! It’s actually really unpleasant to go shopping alone."
"This time I won’t leave you again! I promise to accompany you wherever you go. If necessary, I want our child to accompany us shopping too."
As they were strolling leisurely through the crowd, Matthias suddenly stopped in his tracks. He momentarily touched his blood-stained stomach.
