Olivia had just put down the phone, he asked casually, “Who were you talking to?"
“It's none of your business," she replied indifferently.
“Hey! Woman, are you rebelling against me?" Edmond wasn't familiar with kindness and, therefore, stared at the woman defiantly.
Looking into his eyes, Olivia didn't say anything as Erica's words came to her mind.
Usually, Olivia would tell him to get out of her sight, but that day she didn't say anything. Instead, she kept looking straight at him.
Unsure about what to do with that sudden change of behavior, Edmond disarmed and asked, “Are you okay?"
She remained silent. Even though she hadn't fully acted on Erica's suggestion yet, Edmond had already approached her differently. She wondered if she should really do as her mother-in-law said.
“Say something. Why are you looking at me like that?" Sitting next to her, Edmond took a closer look at her to make sure she wasn't sick.
As Olivia had been at home the whole afternoon, she wasn't in her military uniform anymore, but instead, she wore a white nightgown, which didn't make her Look so tough. At that moment, Edmond admired how charming she looked in her short hair-cut while he could still smell the lingering fragrance from the body wash on her skin. Unconsciously, he swallowed, causing his Adam's apple to bob.
His wife was actually quite beautiful.
Olivia was silent for a while until she finally made a move toward
Edmond. Taking the initiative to hold his neck and trying to be gentle, she muttered, "Edmond, I'm not feeling well." As a matter of fact, she felt really uncomfortable speaking this way.
He naturally wrapped his arms around her waist and asked, “What's wrong? Why are you not feeling well?" He couldn't name the fabric of her nightdress, but it felt really soft to the touch
"I don't know. I just feel bad, and you're yelling at me." ‘Am I doing it right? Is this how one acts Like a spoiled child?’ she wondered. As she performed, Olivia's heart couldn't stop pounding fast in her chest.
Edmond lowered his head, and when he looked at her, he caught a glimpse of her cleavage. Suddenly, he was short of breath.
“Should I take you to the hospital then?"
"No, thanks. Just take me to the bedroom so I can rest."
“Okay!" Edmond gently picked her up and took her to the bedroom.
After he put her down on the bed, Olivia still wouldn't let go of his neck. So he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
Even if they would have sex in the past, a fight would usually lead up to it. But that night, the atmosphere between the two of them wasn't the same as usual due to Olivia's change.
Indeed, it was a beautiful night.
That day, Olivia realized that if she wanted to get along with Edmond, she would have to make a few changes in her behavior.
After all, since she had chosen to marry Edmond, she wanted to make it work and spend the rest of her life with him. It seemed that for that to happen, she would have to learn to compromise a bit more in the future.
As a result, the two of them began to share some sweet and tender moments in their relationship. Only Olivia wasn't the only one who had changed to make this possible, Edmond had done his part too.
That couple who would always solve their problems with aggression gradually started to fade. Soon, there were no more punches and rudeness between them in their alone time.
