Chapter 39
The woman on the bed moved and said, “I want pork chop in barbecue sauce.”
“Pork chop in barbecue sauce again?
Conrad then remembered that Beth asked him to go to her place just now so she could make that dish
for him.
He even suspected that she had heard it and simply said it to make him uncomfortable.
1 want pork chop in barbecue sauce,” Fia said as she got up with irritation.
“Fine.” Conrad turned around and got back down.
He took out some pork chop from the fridge but didn’t know where to start. But when he remembered that there were plenty of videos and recipes on the internet, he took out his phone and began searching.
One hour later, Fia was already fast asleep. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Meanwhile, Conrad walked into the bedroom with a plate of pork chop in barbecue sauce that, at the very least, looked edible.
“Get up. The pork chop in barbecue sauce you ordered.”
Fia groaned and didn’t even move. All she wanted to do was to sleep.
The bag of plums had already satisfied her.
“Didn’t you want some pork chop in barbecue sauce? I made some!” Conrad stood in front of the bed with the dish in his hand.
Fia opened her eyes and said, “I’m no longer hungry. I don’t want it anymore.”
She must have done it on purpose.
“Eat it yourself.”
She turned and showed her back to him.
Conrad was so angry that he slammed the dish on the bedside table.
“You wanted it, now finish it!”
Fia opened her eyes again and didn’t even pay him any attention.
Conrad then grabbed his clothes and went to take a shower. After he got out, he glanced at the person in bed and pulled the blanket before lying on the bed as well.
Fia instinctively moved away.
Conrad, provoked by her reaction, pulled her to his side.
What are you doing?!” Their eyes stared into each other. The flames burning in the woman’s eyes made her look much more spirited.
Conrad suddenly got excited and his hands moved around her.
Fia frowned and gave him a stony stare and pinched the back of his hand as hard as she could.
“Ouch! Are you trying to kill your husband?” He joked in a deep voice.
“If murder was not a crime, all cheaters and homewreckers would be dead!” Came her violent reply.
“Fine, let’s not talk about this. Let’s talk about the duties of a husband and wife.”
Fia could only grit her teeth when she heard his blatant words. “Conrad, why didn’t I realize that you’re such a despicable person?!”
The man’s arm was around her waist. Despite her pinching him, he didn’t even bother to dodge. He simply wanted to do what he wanted. He wouldn’t bleed with all those pinches… He would get a few bruises at
most.
“I was very well–fed in the past, so I didn’t have to do this,” he shamelessly mocked. “Do you know how many times I got burned by the oil just because of your pork chop in barbecue sauce?”
“And I wish that you would have died from it!” She angrily replied as she tried to get away from him.
“I don’t enjoy making a loss in business.” In other words, he made her pork chop in barbecue sauce. Now, he wanted payment from her. She owed him..
Fia felt uncomfortable again, and so did her stomach.
“Urgh…”
The retching made Conrad’s face go pale.
“Are
you trying to irritate me?”
“I… Urgh…!” Fia pushed him away and rushed to the washroom.
Conrad gave his temple a massage as he walked over to the entrance to the washroom, only to see Fia throwing up in the toilet. He quickly grabbed a glass of water for her and walked in.
“Water.”
Fia was resting against the toilet. She looked at the man’s slender hands and then accepted the glass of water. She gurgled her mouth with it and then spat it out.
“If Esme knew you tried to cook for me in the middle of the night just so you could make me fall asleep, 1 wonder how she would feel?” She sneered in an icy tone.
Conrad froze. Her words seemed to have parted open the cloudiness in his mind.
