Nicklaus Elan's firm gaze was on his wife who calmly exchanged his gaze. Despite what he said to her, there was no reaction from her, only to make the Commander restless. Not to mention that he still felt the rage!
She will love him if he wanted her to?

"Nicklaus," he corrected her. "I already said not to call me that. I'm not your master anymore but your husband."
Still meeting his gaze, Lillian maintained her silence for a while and said, "I only want to settle here as your wife."
She was still the same. Stubborn as ever and it made the Commander feel helpless.
"Then tell me," he said. "Why did you change your mind?"
