Chapter 32: Curiosity
"What are you doing?!" Lunara raised her leg this time, ready to land a kick if Eryx came any closer.
But it was useless. With ease, Eryx caught her ankle, gently but firmly lowering it back down before leaning in. "The first step to becoming an official husband and wife is to sleep in the same room."
Before she could protest, he scooped her up effortlessly.
"Put me down, you—!" She yelped, gripping onto his shoulders for balance.
Eryx smirked, walking steadily toward the door. "Two years apart... we need to start where we left off, don’t you think?"
Lunara’s eyes widened in panic. "You abandoned me after the marriage, and now you’re saying that?!"
Eryx glanced down at her, his smirk fading slightly. "Then let me make it up to you... starting tonight."
Lunara’s heart pounded harder. "No! Put me down! I want a divorce!"
Her words made Eryx freeze for a moment, but then, after a brief pause, he let out a low chuckle. "Funny... considering you just insisted you’re not my wife earlier. So, tell me, Wifey... how can you ask for a divorce if you were never married to me in the first place?"
Lunara clenched her jaw, realizing her mistake too late. "That’s—that’s not the point!" she sputtered, wriggling in his arms.
Eryx let out a low chuckle, his grip on her firm yet effortless. "Oh, but it is. You just admitted it, Wifey."
