Lily placed her hand on Ethan’s shoulder and smiled playfully. “If he had actually agreed to marry me. I would have called my incredibly handsome, possessive, and ridiculously jealous husband to teach Ryan a lesson he wouldn’t forget.”

Her words caught Ethan off guard, and he fought hard to keep from grinning like a lovestruck fool. Instead, he tilted her chin up gently with his hand, his dark eyes gleaming with mischief as a devilish smirk spread across his face.

“Alright,” he said, his tone teasing but firm. “I’ll let you off the hook this time. But…” He paused dramatically,

…you still need to be punished for another crime”

“Crime?” Lily blinked in confusion. Her head tilted slightly as she searched his face. “What crime?”

“The unforgivable crime,” he replied with mock seriousness, locking his gaze with hers. “You abandoned your husband in bed this morning and didn’t even wake him up. You know the first thing I want to see when I open my eyes is my wife’s beautiful face.”

Lily couldn’t help but laugh softly at his exaggerated tone. “Is that really a crime, my dear husband?” she asked, her voice brimming with amusement.

Ethan nodded solemnly. “It absolutely is. A husband as handsome as me has certain rights, you know. And one of them is seeing his wife’s face first thing in the morning. So now, Mrs. Ethan, I’m afraid I have to punish you.”

Her lips curved into a sly smile as she leaned closer. “Oh? And what punishment does Mr. Ethan have in mind for his wife?*

Ethan’s smirk widened as he leaned toward her ear and whispered, his voice low and teasing. “You’ll have to take a bath with me.”

For a moment, Lily froze, her cheeks flushing a deep shade of pink as his words sank in. But to his utter surprise, she nodded, her voice soft but unwavering. “Alright… I’ll do it”

Had he heard her correctly? She agreed? He had made the suggestion playfully, never expecting her to take it seriously.
