Chapter 55: Henpecked Husband
Everything went smoothly on their honeymoon, and Xander and Yera bonded well with each other. They were able to talk about a lot of things while they enjoyed the various activities the mountain resort had to offer.
"By the way, when we are back, I’ll set aside some time to learn self-defense.." Yera announced as they ate their dinner.
"Yes, that’s a good idea... Perhaps I should be the one to teach you," Xander suggested.
Yera only looked at him with a doubtful expression that made Xander laugh. "What? You don’t trust me? You’ll be surprised to see my fighting skills... I’m good at it. Seriously. So stop giving me that look," Xander assured her.
"Alright... If you say so..." Yera conceded while shrugging her shoulders, but she didn’t seem convinced, so Xander continued boasting, "Do you want me to show you now?"
Yera looked at him with a serious expression as she said, "Stop that and eat. Finish your food."
Xander did as he was told and finished his food. If Rui were there, at this very moment, to see how obedient he was to Yera, that man would have bullied him relentlessly. A contented smile curved Xander’s lips at that thought. He did not mind being a henpecked husband as long as it was with Yera.
After a hearty dinner, the two decided to play a game. "But board games are boring..." Xander complained as he got up to get an empty bottle. "Let’s do truth or dare," he suggested excitedly as he joined Yera on the carpeted floor, while the latter opened a bottle of red wine.
"How come you’re no longer against me drinking?" Yera asked as she noticed that Xander no longer complained nor nagged at her when she took the bottle of wine from the wine cooler and told him they would drink it. He was different from just a few nights ago when he was so adamant about not letting her drink.
Xander’s face suddenly blushed, and he stammered a bit as he defensively said, "It’s because you did not do anything crazy last time. Uhm, I mean, you were quite... Uhm, controllable..."
Yera nodded as she proceeded to pour two glasses of wine for them.
