A man's gaze focused on observing his already beautiful wife. "Where are you going, dear? You look so neat," he said.
Sherina shifted her gaze, observing Demian approaching her until he kissed her neck as usual, making her feel ticklish. "I always dress neatly, unlike you," Sherina replied casually.
"Is there something wrong with my appearance?"
Sherina paused for a moment, observing the man in front of her until she found nothing wrong, leading to her shaking her head. "No."
"Well, where are you going now?" Demian asked again, but his gaze remained fixed on his wife's beautiful appearance.
"I'm going to the office. I have some business there."
"I'll come along."
Sherina furrowed her brow, then shook her head firmly. "No, I don't want to take you."
"But I want to come, and you must comply with what I say."
"I don't want to." Sherina continued to be stubborn, shaking her head confidently, while Demian gazed deeper at Sherina, then approached her, lowering his gaze to look directly into Sherina's eyes.
"I will accompany my wife, so there is no rejection you can give. Do you understand?"
Sherina's stubborn nature was evident as she shook her head. "No, I don't understand. What do you want?" Sherina seemed eager to challenge Demian.
"Why doesn't a beautiful woman like you have a smart brain?"
The question surprised Sherina. Her eyes widened, even a sense of annoyance arose within her. "What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm stupid?"
Demian casually shook his head. "No, I'm just questioning why a beautiful woman like you doesn't have a smart brain?"
"If I don't have a smart brain, that means I'm stupid!"
Seeing Sherina's face full of annoyance only made Demian smile, then he gently caressed Sherina's cheek, which was pouting in annoyance. "There's nothing wrong if you have such thoughts."
"Ugh! Why is my husband so annoying?"Unconsciously, Sherina called Demian by the title of her husband, which succeeded in making Demian smile.
"If you consider me your husband, then let me accompany you now."
Sherina was trapped in her own words, so she had to seriously think about her next answer, as until now... Sherina hadn't thought of taking Demian along with her.
"I'm afraid you'll ruin the atmosphere!"
"No, I'll just go with you."
"Why can't I go alone?"
"I'm worried about you."
"Ah! I can go with my driver!"
"You have your husband, why would you go with your driver?"
"Ugh! Nuisance! Fine!"
An expression of satisfaction was clearly visible on Demian's face, and once again, Demian stroked Sherina's face, but Sherina held Demian's hand as she still felt annoyed.
"Why not from the start?"
"What?"
"According to what I said."
For a moment, Sherina fell silent, she also didn't know why she always felt like she wanted to play Demian or always wanted to contradict Demian's words, because clearly, she always felt satisfied after debating with Demian, especially until she made Demian angry, although in the end, she had to give in.
****
"Ouch!" Sherina exclaimed as she took a step, suddenly Demian pulled her waist, causing her to half bump into Demian's body. "What's wrong?" Sherina asked with an unhappy look.
"Don't walk too far away from me."
The answer Demian gave didn't make Sherina understand his reasons at all. "Why? Why can't I be far away from you?"
"So that they all know that you already have a husband and they can't keep looking at you like that."
Sherina stopped in her tracks, then she positioned herself directly in front of Demian. "Are you jealous of how the men look at me?" A teasing smile was clearly visible on Sherina's lips.
"Yes, I'm jealous, but I'm not happy about it." Demian truly expressed what he felt, which slightly surprised Sherina.
"Why are you being so honest? Usually, men find it hard to admit that they're jealous."
"Because I really feel it, and I don't want you to charm them." Unprompted, Demian adjusted Sherina's blazer, he straightened Sherina's blazer to cover her body curves.
"Ugh! You're just possessive like a human, what if you were a vampire?" Sherina spoke casually, making Demian carve a small smile, then Demian stroked Sherina's head.
"If I were a vampire, then no one would be allowed to hurt and touch you, because you belong to me alone!" Demian spoke very seriously, his gaze focused on admiring Sherina's beautiful eyes.
