"Alright, I'm full now," Yvonne said while rubbing her stomach. However, her eyes were still looking at the food on the table.
Henry noticed her action and he found it cute.
"Since you’re full, why are you still looking at the food?" he teased.
Yvonne flushed when she got caught. "I...I didn’t." 1
Yvonne didn't want to admit to that.
Henry chuckled and didn't expose her, "Was the meal that I made delicious?"
"Yes, it's very delicious." Yvonne nodded and answered truthfully.
His cooking skills may not be as good as international chefs, but for Yvonne, it was better than Sue's.
"Since it's so delicious, what else do you want to eat for dinner tonight?" Henry asked her.
"At night?" Yvonne was surprised for a moment. "Are you planning to stay for tonight?"
Henry swirled his wine glass, then paused for a while. "Why? You want me to leave again?"
"No..."
They were considered to be in a romantic marriage now, so it didn’t seem right for her to ask him to leave.
"Since that is not the case, let’s talk about what's for dinner tonight. You can decide on the menu." Henry took a sip of wine and looked at Yvonne.
Yvonne's eyes flashed. "Can I?"
"Yeah." Henry nodded.
Yvonne bit her lip and pondered for a while. "Seafood ... is that alright?"
She asked him very carefully, afraid that he’d refuse.
However, Henry readily agreed. "Sure."
Yvonne smiled. "Thank you. I’ll clean the dishes then."
She stood up to clear the table quickly, and cleaned the dishes in the kitchen.
When she was halfway washing the dishes, she heard footsteps approaching her from her back. Almost immediately, there were two arms wrapped around her for a back hug.
Yvonne stopped washing the dishes abruptly and her body stiffened. "You... Why did you come in?"
"Can't I come in?" Henry asked in a low voice while resting his chin on Yvonne's shoulder.
Yvonne shrank her neck. "No. What I meant was that why are you here when I'm washing the dishes?"
"I came to see you," Henry replied. At the same time, his cold thin lips glided across her neck. Yvonne
wasn't sure if he did it on purpose or not.
She held the dish towel in her hand tightly. "That..."
"What is it?" Henry closed his eyes.
Yvonne looked at him from the corner of her eyes. " Can you let me go first? I'm washing the dishes."
"I’m just gonna hug you like this. I’m not interrupting you." Henry didn't move away but hugged her even tighter.
Yvonne had eaten so much earlier. The food was almost squeezed out from her stomach with Henry's hug.
She moved her body uncomfortably. "Indeed it doesn't interrupt me, but it makes me uncomfortable.”
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Henry opened his eyes.
Yvonne looked puzzled and replied, "I feel uncomfortable everywhere. Let go of me first. If you have nothing better to do, you can watch the TV or workout at the gym for digestion."
The implication was that if Henry was full, he should look for something to do and not disturb her washing the dishes.
Henry naturally understood what she meant and his deep pupils turned even darker. "Did you just say workout?" "Yeah, yeah. Go quickly.” Yvonne simply nodded.
She had to get the dishes done and sincerely hoped that he wouldn't be here to disturb her anymore.
Henry's thin lips twitched slightly, pretending that he didn't hear her complaints. He then said lazily," Indeed I haven’t been working out properly for the past half month. You've reminded me of that.”
“Since I've reminded you, then you should go now," Yvonne urged once again.
If he wasn’t going again, her dishwashing water would turn cold soon.
She didn’t want to wash the dishes in cold water now that the weather was getting cooler.
"There's no need to go to the gym,” Henry smiled with the corners of his mouth tugged upward, "It's not necessary to workout at the gym as it can be done here too."
