Complacently, Joan threatened Larry, “From now on, I’ll be in charge of the real finances of this family. You should have no objections, am I right?”
Looking at how snobbish Joan was behaving, Larry’s eyes were filled with affection and tenderness. “Well, of course, I do have an objection to it. Why don’t you reconsider that?”
“Objection overruled, and motion dismissed. My decision is final.”
Joan returned to Larry’s embrace and rested on his chest kittenishly.
“That depends on how well you behave then.”
Seeing that Joan willingly yielded to him, Larry waited no more. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he carried her and paced toward the study.
“Hey, hey, what are you doing? Aren’t you going in the wrong direction? That’s the study!” Joan quickly reminded Larry.
“Our baby is sleeping in the bedroom. Let’s not wake him up. Besides,” with a sly smile, Larry continued, “we haven’t tried it in the study before. Let’s try that today.”
“You’re such a pervert and a total jerk!”
After finding out Larry’s real intentions, Joan struggled for a bit, but it was all a show and to no avail. Putting her down on the desk which had been cleared, Larry closed the door behind him…
After their love-making session, Larry carried Joan back to the bedroom thoughtfully.
“Darling, you take a good rest. I shall continue working,” pecking softly on Joan’s forehead, Larry muttered mischievously.
Still with a dash of faint blush on her face, Joan rolled her eyes at Larry.
“Run along now, pervert!”
Larry did not say anything else and with a gentle smile, he got up and prepared to leave for the study.
Out of the blue, Larry heard the ringing doorbell, so he went to open the door with a rather puzzled look on his face.
“Who would be here at this hour?” Hesitantly, Larry mumbled.
“Who else? That couple of lovebirds, of course!” As though she had already known who was at the door outside, Joan chuckled as she said.
Larry nodded mindfully and opened the door. There standing at the door were none other than Caspian and Nancy.
Seeing Caspian, a sharp glint flashed across Larry’s eyes instantly.
“How dare you come over to my house? I swear I’ll tan your hide!”
Larry was still holding grudges about the previous incident where Caspian schemed against him. How could such a scathing brainiac accept the fact that he had been tricked? He would never feel satisfied if he didn’t get even with Caspian.
“Boss, forgive me. I had valid reasons and difficulties at that time! My dear wife, quick, put in some good words for me,” as he pleaded, Caspian also retreated and hid behind Nancy.
“Who’s your wife? We’re not married yet!”
Nancy was rendered speechless. Nevertheless, she still interceded.
“Larry, let’s not bother him for today. You can clobber him when I’m not around next time,” smiling, Nancy said to Larry.
Larry had to do Nancy a favor since she had asked him to. Hence, Larry didn’t make life difficult for Caspian, but he was still glaring at him.
Caspian acted as though he didn’t see that and spoke very naturally, “Let us go in and sit down.”
As they entered the living room, Joan was already sitting in the sofa waiting for them. As soon as she saw them come in, Joan stood up and greeted them politely, “I knew it was the two of you. Come on in and have a seat.”
Joan then turned to Larry and instructed, “Larry, make them some drinks!”
Larry was flabbergasted for a moment. This woman is getting bolder by the day. She’s actually instructing me now.
Crossing his arms, Larry just stood there and looked at Joan without the slightest willingness to do what she said. That gave Joan a fright and she quickly added, “Alright, let me do it. What a dummy. He can’t do anything.”
Larry facepalmed and was rendered utterly speechless by Joan.
Looking at the impish duo, Caspian and Nancy broke into a hearty laugh.
Especially Caspian who was gloating at what happened.
Intimidate me all you want as you’ll still have to succumb to Joan in the end. Such is the circle of life. Caspian was contentedly immersed in his thoughts.
Very soon, Joan came back with some tea. Looking at Caspian, Joan gasped in surprise, “Caspian, what happened to your face? There are bruises all over. Were you beaten up by someone?”
