Abel turned Emmelineâs face towards him and saw that her lips were swollen.
Did he kiss her that hard?
He didnât even notice, he just felt the sweetness of it all.
Emmelineâs lips were as sweet as honey.
He wanted to kiss her again and again.
âHere, have a mask.â
Abel opened his hand box and took out a mask.
âIf you ever dare to make fun of your husband again, this will be your punishment, andâ¦â
Abel leaned in towards Emmeline, menacingly saying, âThere will be even harsher⦠punishment!â
Emmeline took a sharp breath, feeling as though the man next to her bad transformed back into a bellish demon.
âWhat do you mean by âeven harsher punishmentâ?â she timidly asked. âWhat do you want to do to your wife?â
âWhat do you think?â Abel huskily whispered into her ear, sending shivers down her spine.
Even harsher punishment?
Emmeline suddenly understood, and her once-alluring face instantly flushed with embarrassment.
âAbel, youâre so dirty!â
âYouâre my wife, how is that dirty?â Abel chuckled, leaning over to help her fasten her seatbelt before starting the sports car and heading back to The Precipice.
Daisy and Kendra had already prepared dinner and everyone was just beginning to eat.
Emmeline was now in a dilemma.
What was she going to do about her swollen lips?
Her lips were swollen like a pigâs mouth, and if the four children and Daisy saw her like this, especially Luca and his buddies, her face would be ruined.
Abel, Abel!
Emmeline looked at him with a pitiful expression. Was he happy now?
Unfortunately, at that moment, Timothy spoke up: âMommy, youâre already inside, why are you still wearing a mask?â
âIâ¦â Emmeline hurriedly replied, âI caught a cold outside and Iâm afraid of infecting you guys.â
âThen Mommy should take some medicine,â Helios said. âCatching a cold can be really uncomfortable.â
âBut do we have medicine here?â Endymion asked. âIâll go get it.â
âIâll pour warm water for Mommy,â Hesperus said, about to grab a cup.
Emmelineâs eyes were sore, feeling guilty for wearing this big mask on her face in front of the children.
âIâll accompany Mommy upstairs first,â Abel said. âYou guys eat your food and weâll have our own meal upstairs.â
âIs that so?â Timothy said. âYou guys want some alone time.â
âI think so too,â Helios nodded.
âWell, then go enjoy your sweet time together,â Endymion waved his little hand.
âBest wishes to you both,â Hesperus blinked his big eyes.
Emmeline couldnât help but burst into laughter under her mask. âOh my goodness, you kids are too much. Mommy just caught a little cold from being outside. Thatâs all!â
âThe more you say, the more suspicious it sounds,â Timothy said, âI donât believe that you caught a cold just by going out for a while.â
âTimmy,â Emmeline chuckled, âwhat do you think happened to Mommy?â
âIâll answer that,â Helios chimed in. âWe know somethingâs up. Did you and Daddy do something naughty?â
âHahaha,â Endymion burst into laughter, âbut we canât reveal the truth, can we?â
âBut what is something naughty?â Endymion asked, a mischievous glint in his eye. âSomething like kissing Mommy and making her lips all puffy?â
ââ¦â¦â Daisy widened her eyes in shock.
Kendra was also taken aback.
Luca and the others exchanged glances in confusion.
âAh!â Emmeline covered her face and ran upstairs.
âEmma,â Abel hurriedly followed, âtheyâve already guessed it, why are you so shy?â
âBang!â Emmeline slammed the door and locked Abel outside.
âDonât let me see you, itâs all your fault!â
âEmma,â Abel coaxed from outside the door, âIâm your husband, you canât lock me out on the first day, itâs not a good omen.â
âReally?â Emmeline asked through the closed door. âBut weâre not even married yet?â
âBut today is still a reunion day for our family, isnât it?â Abel patiently coaxed. âDo you really want to keep us apart?â
Emmeline thought about it for a moment. She wanted good luck on her side, and she couldnât bear to be separated from this man.
God knows how much she wanted to be with him.
With that thought, Emmeline opened the door.
Abel walked in and picked Emmeline up in his arms, tossing her onto the bed.
