He glanced at the towel first before taking it from my hand.



"Come here." He said, patting the spot on the bed beside where he was sitting. Once I was seated, he began gently drying my hair so it wouldn't be too damp when I used the hair dryer later.



"Why are there women's things here in your room? Do you have a mistress?" I teased, even though I already knew the truth.



"A mistress?" He repeated my question.



Even though my back was turned to him, I reached around to his side and pinched him hard—hard enough to leave a mark on his skin. But he didn't even flinch, nor did his body show any reaction at all.



"Answer me. Is she prettier than me? Can she cook well? Is she more satisfying than I am?" The tables seemed to have turned, I was the one teasing him, even though I knew damn well he wasn't the type to cheat. I just couldn't help myself.



When he stayed silent for several seconds, I turned around in frustration and gave his chest a hard smack. But he didn't even budge—his chest was as hard as stone, and I was the one who ended up hurting my hand instead.



"What? Why won't you answer? Do you have another woman? If so, let's get divorce." I snapped, my brows furrowed in annoyance.



I gasped when his large hands suddenly settled firmly on my waist, and with effortless strength, he lifted me up and settled me facing him right onto his lap.



"I don't have a mistress. That's not something I do." He replied once I was seated, then leaned his face against my chest.



"Then why are there women's things here?" I asked, raising an eyebrow and pouting slightly.



"Silly... they're for you." I didn't miss the deep, masculine chuckle that rumbled in his chest.



Still refusing to back down, I kept up the act even though I was the one being teased now. "Then how did you know my sizes?"



His hand slowly trailed over my exposed thigh while he breathed in the scent of my skin. "You're my wife. Of course I know."



His answer left me speechless. It seemed I was the one who had lost this round tonight—I had no reply left for any of his responses.
