My stoic husband seemed to hate me. Every night, he buttoned his pajamas all the way up to the top and slipped a scripture next to my pillow before bed. I'd finally had enough and was ready to hand him the divorce papers when a barrage of floating comments suddenly appeared before my eyes. [Poor Dragon Lord, about to be heartlessly abandoned right during his mating season.] [This side character is so blind. What the male lead is putting by your pillow isn't scripture, it's the Orcish Kama Sutra.] [Hey, why don't you just touch him? The Dragon Lord is about to explode. If he wasn't terrified of scaring you off, he would've taken you long ago.] I froze, my hand holding the divorce agreement hovering in mid-air. Then, I reached out and ran my hand over his abs. Mateo Knight looked at me with his usual detached expression, his amber eyes calm. "What are you doing?" His voice was cool, as always. More comments floated by. [How is he still holding out? It's the third day of his rut, and he's still holding back.] [What's his crime? He's just scared of frightening his wife away, forcing himself to play the pure lover. He's utterly devoted.] [Can't blame his wife for thinking he hates her. Tonight, she'll storm off to a club, get caught with male escorts, letting the male and female leads finally meet.] Male escorts? Getting caught? They were talking about something that hadn't even happened. I glanced away from the comments. "Nothing... you just had something on your shirt. I was brushing it off."
