Chapter 344. Apology Attempts
"You know, Aisha, there was a time when I so longed to eat food from your hands that I was even willing to give all my money. With my mouth filled with food, I'd compliment you, Aisha, but because of the way you eat food, like a hungry ghost, you look anything but lovable.
"At least I had something that could make you remember me. Otherwise, a side character like myself is easily forgotten by a busy person like you, it is a great troll on your fragile mind to have an impression on so many people, right?" Aisha heartlessly responded with a cold indifference, her expression unchanged as she ate breakfast.
Sensing tension and a strong smell of gunpowder in the air, Ayri and Amy exchanged a knowing glance. They silently gathered their plates and left the kitchen. It's better not to poke their heads into the husband and wives personal matters; it's very easy to get dragged into muddy water.
Sylphy, eager to ease the tension, coughed and changed the subject. "So, Myne, any plans for today?" She knew very well that Aisha's mood had not been good recently, and if Myne said something he shouldn't, then it was very likely that they would have to eat some unpleasant dishes for the next few days.
"Except for giving father-in-law and Mr. Roku a visit and resuming the clan reconstruction, I have no desire to leave the house. Now, I just want to lock myself in the house and spend time with you two, that's it.
I admit I've caused you two a lot of trouble, although it wasn't intentional, but still, I accept that it was my fault, and now I want to make amends for my actions by making you two happy," Myne declared with a sincere smile, wiping his mouth with his clothing. He leaned forward and planted a light kiss on each of their cheeks.
"You are so cute; your mouth has become much more pleasant and flirtatious than before. Speaking of which, I was about to ask you to accompany me to the palace. I want to discuss Ayri's situation with Mother and announce your safe return. You won't believe me, except for Mother and Ayri; everyone declared you dead. Father even started looking for a new husband for me! I was furious at the time.
If Mother hadn't intervened, I might have severed ties with him altogether. You were right; Father is indeed a self-centred and insensitive old geezer. Their expression would be quite wonderful when they saw you alive," Sylphy said gleefully while hammering on the table in excitement, which caused Aisha to spill her soup.
..."
"Remember to clean it properly. Sigh, I'm going to the garden. If you need any help, just call me out," Aisha remarked calmly before walking out of the kitchen leaving unfinished breakfast behind.
"Is Aisha super mad with me?" Myne asked, rubbing his temples in distress.
"Yep," Sylphy confirmed bluntly.
"Will she forgive me if I beg like a child or give her a present?"
"Perhaps," Sylphy offered noncommittally.
"Can you give me a hand to coax her?"
Sylphy shook her head. "Not a chance."
"Are you upset with me too?" Myne inquired with a sigh.
"Yep," Sylphy replied casually.
Sighing deeply, Myne asked helplessly while massaging his forehead, "Tell me what I need to do to earn your forgiveness and bring back my sweet little princess."
Sylphy, who was prepared for this question a long time ago, promptly retrieved a small wishlist between her boobs. "Let me see... A luxurious date without any third wheel once a week for the entire month. Morning training sessions with me every day. Accompanying me in battles against various monsters. Five new skills compatible with my combat techniques.
Shopping trips together. Ten free 'wish coupons' where you obey me and bang me whatever place and time I told you until I say stop."
Additionally, you'll accompany me to visit a few friends of mine who've been eager to meet you, and we'll spend three quality hours together every night. That's it."
"How long have you been working on this?" Myne asked, dumbfounded, as he took the wish list from Sylphy.
"After Mother-in-law brought you back, Aisha suggested this idea. I think her list is probably even bigger than mine," Sylphy chuckled with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"You girls are so ruthless. Your poor husband just returned from a near-death experience, and you're already planning to exploit me like this? Sigh, you weren't like this before we got married," Myne protested weakly while looking at Sylphy's wish list, especially dreading the part where he had to meet her noisy friends.
He never likes to meet Sylphy's arrogant friends they always look at him as if he is some kind of rare creature.
"Hahaha, maybe we've been influenced by your aura. Compared to you, we're still amateurs when it comes to shamelessness and taking advantage of others... Forget it, come, come to mommy, let me give you a hug. That might lift your spirits," Sylphy chuckled, standing up from her chair, and opened her arms wide with a coaxing and affectionate expression.
"Yes, only your embrace can give me some warmth in this cold and heartless world," Myne replied, quickly hugging Sylphy tightly and burying his head in her shoulder, inhaling her fragrant scent, which calmed down him a bit.
"Fine, I'll try my best to fulfil your wishes, but first I have to talk to Aisha... Thanks for your help, honey. You're the best," Myne after hugging Sylphy for a few minutes, planted a deep, passionate kiss on her lips before speaking.
Sylphy nodded with a smile, pleased with Myne's response. "No problem. Go coax Aisha, she doesn't look good in that gloomy expression all day long. In the meantime, I'll handle the cleaning." She kissed his forehead and gently pushed him out of the kitchen.
"She's matured," Myne thought with a faint smile, watching Sylphy tidy up the dishes. He then turned his attention to two curious kittens peeking out from the couch, seemingly trying to decipher the outcome of their argument.
"Brother Myne, what happened? Why did Sister Aisha leave without finishing breakfast? Did you upset her again?" Ayri asked innocently, her large, watery eyes staring at Myne as if trying to see what kind of demon was hiding behind her cute face.
Amy, though she didn't say anything, but the way she glanced at Myne was the same as Ayri's; anyone with a clever mind could guess what was going on in her mind.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"You two are thinking too much. Aisha is just a bit upset; it is not a big deal. You'll see, after we come back, she will smiling like a blooming flower," Myne confidently said, flicking both Ayri and Amy's foreheads, making both girls moan in pain before messing with their hair and walking out of the house.
"He is so mean, he ruined my hair," Ayri pouted, a playful smile betraying her feigned annoyance.
"He seems to have become more mature and wise after coming back. He is now giving off a completely different vibe than before," Amy muttered to herself while rubbing her forehead dazedly, but she didn't notice that Ayri was giving her a strange look.
...
Walking out of the house, Myne looked around and spotted Aisha sitting amidst flower-filled surroundings, removing dead flowers with a mini hand shovel, looking extremely beautiful in the morning sunlight. Myne felt like his heart was melting with affection; this was the same feeling he had when he first saw Aisha at the adventure guild.
He walked toward her, thinking about where to start, but as he reached near her, his momentarily blanked as he savoured the moment. He gently took the mini shovel from Aisha and threw it aside, put his arms behind her legs and back, and lifted her up in a princess style. Aisha, momentarily speechless, struggled briefly before finding herself enveloped in a forceful kiss.
The gesture, though unexpected, calmed her resistance
After enjoying the kiss and witnessing Aisha's relaxed state, Myne carried her towards the nearby tree. With a flick of his finger, he materialized a comfortable couch using his "Realize" skill. He sat down on it with Aisha in his arms, continuing to kiss her while enjoying her company, which he missed a lot.
"You know, this is sexual assault, right?
I can complain about this to Mother-in-law; she gave me the power that if you give me trouble, I can tell her, and she will deal with you properly," Aisha calmly spoke after regaining her composure, staring at the man whom she loved most in the world and who had given her a lot of trouble in the past few months, so much so that she started having illusions that she had become a middle-aged aunt.
"Oh dear, you truly are formidable," Myne chuckled, feigning fear. "But my dear wife, could you enlighten this ignorant soul? Since when has expressing affection towards my own wife become sexual assault? And what do I have to do for apologies?"
"Maybe a few more kisses can help you to reduce your punishment…"
Aisha hadn't even finished teasing when Myne locked her lips with his, and another round of ferocious kisses started. Myne didn't even realize when his naughty hand went inside Aisha's clothes and started messing with her boobs, earning him a hard pinch on the waist from Aisha.
"Don't push your luck. Don't think I will forgive you if you try to be romantic a bit," Aisha warned, pulled out Myne's hand from her bra and gave him an angry glance.
"Sorry, old habit. You know I can't control those things. My body moves itself in those matters," Myne quickly grabbed his ears and apologized with an awkward smile. He really got carried away after receiving Aisha's green light for kissing.
"Hmph, as if I don't know you. Save those flirtatious dialogues for your new girlfriend. I've long become immune to them," Aisha snorted disdainfully at Myne and averted her gaze, not wanting to see this shameless man's face anymore.
