Chapter 43: Consummate your marriage.
Arissa’s eyes moved from the provocative red nude lingerie set and back to Geal’s face. At times like this, she was usually grateful that Richard was a high part of her childhood and with that cause, she was able to stand naughtiness but this?
This was too much. How would he gift her something like this and urge her to open it before him and her... husband?
"What would I use this for?" she asked dryly facing Geal and at her question, Nicklaus blinked at her straightforwardness in the question while Geal smile eagerly as he was more than ready to enlighten her on kinds of stuff like this.
"From following Nicklaus’s schedules, I realized you both haven’t consummated your marriage yet_"
"That isn’t your business Geal," she cut him off as her face grimaced in an offense looking at the set of lingerie. He has no right to rub her unwanted marriage on her face. She picked up the box cover and proceed to cover it away from her sight.
"You have to leave now Geal," Nicklaus hissed at Geal looking at the gift box that Arissa closed with a fist of fury in her. In the few spilt seconds he spent with her from the moment he knew her, one thing he first noticed from her attitude was her sensitivity - just like when he rejected her, and now, Geal had just hit a sensitive spot talking about their marriage.
"Not now, " Geal answered Nicklaus with a smile.
The air in the dining room dropped as Nicklaus’s whole aura changed due to the rejection from Geal. Arissa turned to Nicklaus feeling the icy air from him and back to Geal, she said, "You have to leave Geal. It was nice meeting you,"
"Huh," Geal snapped his head to Arissa, surprised she allied with Nicklaus.
