Chapter 1414

The corners of Tarquin's mouth twitched as he strode over, his long legs eating up the distance.

Just as Elysia was about to explode, he suddenly dropped to his knees with a dramatic thud!

Elysia's eyes went wide. "?!"

She instinctively tried to jump up, but Tarquin held her in place.

Still kneeling in front of her, he started apologizing.

"This whole thing was my fault today. I shouldn't have called Evan out of school behind your back-and told them he was sick, no less!"

"I realize now what a dumb move that was. I promise, I won't do it again!"

"People say admitting mistakes is the first step to fixing them, right? So please, honey, give me a break just this once."

Elysia was so thrown off by his kneeling, she just stared, blinking, completely speechless for a moment.

"You... get up first!"

"Not unless you forgive me, babe!"

Elysia was getting flustered. "Don't you know a man's knees aren't for kneeling?!"

"I know, but I'm not kneeling to anyone else—just my own wife. No shame in that." Elysia's eyelid twitched. "Get up!"

"Nope!"


"Tarquin!"

Suddenly, Elysia shouted, "Are you asking for a beating?!"
