"I didn't give you my number for nothing," Lando said firmly.
I caught the way his throat bobbed when he called me his wife. For a second, he looked shaken, but he quickly pulled himself together, probably thinking I was too vulnerable right now.
Honestly, I felt pretty satisfied seeing so many people insult Madeline after what I did earlier.
Yeah, I know it wouldn't last long, but hey, while it lasted, I was going to enjoy it to the fullest!
"Do you understand, Helcia?" Lando asked when I still hadn't responded to his words.
Moments later, I nodded quickly. "Yes, husband, I understand you very well."
Lando swallowed hard again after hearing me say that. Why did he always look so tense and conflicted whenever I called him "husband"?
The first time I called him that, his favorability had shot up by eighteen percent, so I thought he was happy with it. But now … he looked more angry than pleased. His brows were pulled together so tightly it almost scared me.
