“Wifey, why did you push me?” Ethan asked, looking at her with wide, innocent eyes.

Lily narrowed her gaze at him, her lips twitching with disbelief. If she didn’t know better, she would have thought he was just playing dumb. Pinching his cheeks gently, she asked, “Why were you strip–teasing? Ethan, were you trying to seduce me on purpose?”

Ethan nodded earnestly, his expression as sincere as a child’s. “Didn’t you tell me to do that? You said you’d forgive me if I danced for you.”

Lily sighed and facepalmed, exhaling sharply. “When did I ever say anything about a strip tease?” she asked, gritting her teeth. “I only told you to dance!”

Ethan’s expression turned hurt. “But wifey, you didn’t like it? Am I not handsome enough?”

The sight of his distressed face, paired with the slight quiver in his voice, made her panic. It almost looked like he was about to cry again. Quickly, she nodded and reassured him, “No, no! You’re very handsome. My husband is the most handsome man in the entire world. I liked it a lot, okay?”

Ethan’s mood lifted immediately, his lips curling into a wide smile. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he pulled her closer. Pressing a soft kiss to her neck, he whispered, “Wifey, I just got an idea.”

Her cheeks flushed slightly at his sudden closeness. “What idea?” she asked cautiously.

“I want to have your baby,” he said with absolute sincerity. Then, as if realizing something, he quickly corrected himself, “No, wait. I mean, I want you to have my baby. Let’s make a baby, wifey!”

Lily froze in shock, her eyes widening. “W–what did you just say?”

“I want a little Ethan who’s as handsome as me or a naughty little Lily who’s as cute as you,” he explained, inching closer to her, his voice warm with excitement. “Come on, let’s make a baby!”

“Stop!” Lily exclaimed, her face turning bright red. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

But Ethan wasn’t deterred. Pouting, he cried out dramatically, “Wifey, you don’t want to have my baby! Waah! My wife doesn’t love me anymore!”

Waah! No love means my wifey doesn’t care about me anymore! Waah!” he wailed,
