Chapter 118 Mr. Husband
While things were looking good for Jonathan and Liliana, the world of the internet was still in chaos.
Rose had been fanning the flames that Liliana’s kids were not Jonathan’s. The paid trolls and netizens alike requested, cautioned, told, and threatened Liliana to keep a distance from Jonathan as he was not the father of her children.
Liliana sneered looking at the tone of the topic. They mentioned the father of her children rather than her husband as the Aprices were well aware that Jonathan was her husband.
Jonathan took the phone away from her hands.
Jonathan was getting ready to go to the office while Liliana sat on the bed scrolling her phone.
“Mrs. Smith, help me put on a tie, please,” Jonathan asked Liliana.
He called her Mrs. Smith to remind her that she was his wife and husband and wife ought to be more intimate. He did that only occasionally for minor things like helping him dry his hair or tie his tie, or when he wanted to massage her hair and neck as they talked in the bed after tucking in the kids, or when he wanted to wear matching clothes with her or feed her something.
She laughed as she stood on her knees on the bed to reach for his neck.
“I feel sorry for you. You have such an unaware wife that you need to explicitly remind her,” She teased him as she clicked her tongue.
He wrapped his hands around her waist which froze her actions.
“Go on, Mrs. Smith! You look very beautiful when you laugh, don’t stop on my account,” He taunted as if she had stopped laughing because of his presence rather than his actions.
“You are vindictive, Mr. Husband,” She took a deep breath and relaxed as she tried to get used to his touch and intimacy.
Apart from sleeping on the same bed, and her crawling on top of him at night in her sleep, they were more like roommates rather than husband and wife.
Liliana knew that they ought to be more intimate and Jonathan wanted more, but she could not bring herself to get physically close to him. She did not even dare to kiss him.
Perhaps, she was reluctant because of her experience during their wedding. It was her only experience after all.
Jonathan knew it was his fault that she was reluctant to get physically close to him. No girl would want to lose her virginity the way she did. He did not push her to do anything she would not be comfortable with.
He was content in pulling her into hugs and stealing kisses after she had fallen asleep at night. It was enough, at least for that moment. He was more than happy to wait for her to be more comfortable.
“Mrs. Smith, I am no match for you,” He teased her.
“Mr. Husband, how could you call me vindictive? I thought I was the paragon of compassion and forgiveness,” She pulled his tie to express her discontent.
“Mrs. Smith, you are strangling your husband,” He faked a pained expression.
“Mr. Husband, don’t make jokes like that. I don’t want to be a widow,” She said, wrinkling her nose.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jonathan thought she was cute. He could not help but kiss her on the top of her nose.
“See, you sure look good.” She said with a sigh as she fixed his tie.
“And that makes you unhappy because?” He asked.
“What’s so good about attracting so much female attention?” She said in exasperation.
“Mrs. Smith, you are jealous,” He laughed out loud.
“Mr. Husband, you are mine. Remember to keep away from others,” She said domineeringly declaring her sovereignty.
“Mrs. Smith, you should mark your territory properly,” He teased her.
“What do you mean?” She frowned as she could not think of what he was suggesting.
Jonathan pinched her on the waist lightly, making her tickle.
“Hey!” She exclaimed.
He held her hands and loosened his tie, and unbuttoned the top two buttons.
He placed her fingers on the side of his neck and said, “Bite here. It will be barely visible but with the hawks watching us, I am sure the word will spread that there’s a female in my life.”
She widened her eyes as her face went pale before she blushed. Her hands trembled but she did not move.
Sensing her embarrassment, he suggested, “Or you can just pinch around my neck. It’s the same.”
She stared at him for a while and lowered her head and bit him. She then licked and sucked on it to lessen the pain.
When she looked at her masterpiece, she blushed even more but then she smiled proudly.
Jonathan was amused at her reaction.
He pinched her nose and kissed her cheeks before he fixed his clothes.
His face turned serious as he discussed the ongoing scandal while still holding her in his arms.
