Chapter 96: I Hate You
The next morning, Yera woke up early. She smiled because she felt rested from her peaceful sleep despite the thunderstorm last night.
She stretched her arms and yawned. Her eyes were still closed as she sat up from the bed.
"You should just sleep in my room for the rest of the days. I promise I’ll behave, and we’ll just cuddle." She heard Xander spoke in an amused tone, so she quickly opened her eyes.
Xander looked so roguishly and devastatingly handsome with his bare chest as he wiped his wet hair. His lower body was only covered with a towel. Obviously, he had just finished taking a shower.
Yera’s eyebrow raised, but she chose not to say a word. She rose from the bed to quickly run back to her room.
"You don’t need to rush, Darling. No one would have noticed that you sneaked out to sleep in my room since we are the only ones on this floor. The others are like five floors below," Xander said, grinning. Oh, how he had missed to tease his lovely wife like this. It had been days since he last saw her various expressions because lately, Yera had always maintained her blank and expressionless face.
"You’re such a manipulative person. Are you aware of that?" Yera snarled at him sarcastically.
"Yes, I’m aware of it. But are you aware that I’m a lovable person too? Can we please stop this nonsense already, Darling? I mean, is it my fault that my little buddy would only salute to you and you alone? Is it my fault that I fell in love with you? Is it wrong to fall for you?" Xander reasoned in a serious voice.
Yera’s face turned a deep red from embarrassment because of the way Xander had shamelessly, and bluntly mentioned his pathetic little buddy saluting to her. Should she feel honored? Should she take that as a compliment?
"I hate you!" Yera shouted and threw the nearest thing she could grab at him.
Xander caught it and grinned as he countered, "No, you don’t!"
