143 Ch. 143 How To Pacify Richardâs Anger
Richard released his hug and folded his arms in front of his chest. His eyes no longer looked at Anxia gently but were more demanding... demanding an explanation. Not to mention, the horseâs owner wouldnât like it if someone gave a toy snake to Elwood.
Really. Anxiaâs pranks this time were too outrageous.
âSo, why did you do it?â
âI just want you to get back riding so you can ride with us.â
âJust because you want me to ride, you put your life in danger?â
Anxia felt even more guilty hearing her husbandâs high tone. As far as she could remember, Richard had never scolded her or snapped at her. She lowered her head, unable to accept the glare from her husband.
âIâm sorry. I wouldnât do it if I werenât sure I couldnât control it.â
Richard felt like his tongue was being clamped at his wifeâs answer. He knew Anxia wasnât a normal girl, but he never thought his wife would go crazy like this to make him ride with her.
If Anxia wanted him to ride with her, why didnât she ask him to? If in case, Anxia asked him to ride together, Richard would not refuse her request. But Anxia never asked for it, and she only told him to choose whether Richard wanted to ride or not. Being told to choose, of course, Richard decided not to participate.
.....
Richard stroked his temple before realizing something. âXia Xia, how do you know I have ridden before?â
âBentley told me. He also said you donât want to ride because of that two-face cousin of yours.â
Why had Bentley told his wife that the reason he no longer wanted to ride had something to do with Quinn? It had nothing to do with the girl at all.
âI donât care about your past, but I donât like it if that girl caused you not to ride again.â
Richardâs lips twitched, and he raised his finger to flick his wifeâs forehead lightly. âSilly. What are you jealous of?â
âWhoâs jealous? Iâm not jealous!â Anxiaâs denial made Richard smile in amusement.
Noticing Richardâs smile returning to normal, Anxia was relieved that the man was no longer angry with her.
âYouâre not mad at me anymore?â
âNo. Iâm still mad. If you want me to ride with you, all you have to do is ask. I told you before I canât read human minds. If you want me to do something, you must ask for it.â
âAre you going to do it?â
âWhen have I never granted your wish?â
Anxia bit her lip because she couldnât refute the question. Richard never refused her request, even though she asked something very absurd. She once asked to come with Richard to work and accompany the man to a meeting with the companyâs board of directors.
If it were another man, he would not feel comfortable bringing his wife into the office and letting the woman listen to the meetingâs conferences from start to finish. But Richard didnât mind at all. On the other hand, Richard always showed everyone how much he adored Anxia by embracing her and giving her short kisses regardless of whether there was an audience.
Richard was acting more possessive than usual when lots of eyes, especially from the male employees who looked at Anxia with interest. Her husbandâs possessive gesture made Anxia tired of coming to his office.
Since then, she no longer asked her husband to take her to the office.
Anxia knew that as long as what she asked was within Richardâs reach and did not abuse his power, the man would grant her request without hesitation.
âYouâre right. I was wrong, so forgive me. Hmm?â
âYou do know how to make me forgive you.â Richard put on a crooked smile, earning lazy rolling eyes from his wife. Richard wanted Anxia to take the initiative to kiss him first. After living with the man for two years, Anxia understood her husbandâs habit of being cranky or annoying like a child.
Anxia grabbed Richardâs hand and pulled him towards a tree with large roots sticking out of the ground. Then she stood on the roots, her height almost level with Richardâs. This way, she didnât have to pull Richardâs head because of Richardâs towering height.
Then she rested her hands on either side of his husbandâs neck while tilting her head to kiss her husbandâs lips. As soon as the two pairs of lips met, Anxia teased Richard by biting his lower lip. She also sucked alternately from the lower lip to the upper one.
After she felt that she had kissed her husband long enough, but Richard didnât react, Anxia pulled her head slightly away from Richardâs mouth, which was still tightly closed.
âIs it enough?â
âNot yet.â came the answer from the unsatisfied husband.
âWhat do you want me to do? Youâve been in control all this time.â
Richard chuckled at his wifeâs grumbling. âI thought you wanted to be in control once in a while?â Richard laughed when he saw a blush on his wifeâs tiny face.
Anxia did not like to be controlled, but when making out with her husband, Anxia went blank and let the man take the lead.
âCome here,â Richard bent his index finger to tell Anxia to bring her face closer again.
Anxia complied and immediately gasped when she felt her husbandâs tongue slip into her mouth. In just a matter of seconds, their kiss became aggressive and intense, creating a delicious sigh from both of them.
âSst!â
Richard and Anxia stopped right away when they heard a noise not far from them. They turned around only to see their daughter putting her index finger to her mouth to silence Bentley and Gladys.
âLori, how long have you been here?â
âJust now. Dad, mom, I thought something happened to you, so I followed you here. If I know you are dating, I wonât have come here.â
Bentley and Gladys lowered their heads with their hands over their mouths. Obviously, they tried their best to hold their laughter.
