Forced Marriage: CEO’s Sweet Little Wife - Chapter 107

In the same cafe with different scenes.

“Stamina, stamina, what do you mean?” Vira’s face really can’t be described in words, she looks very confused by her husband’s words.

“Come on baby, don’t act innocent,” he teased his wife with a wink.

“Then how am I supposed to eat this raw oyster, even now it’s still oozing mucus on its body.”

Vino shook his head disapprovingly of his wife’s words, “we have to eat these raw oysters, and you can’t chew on them. I’ll teach you how to enjoy these oysters.” Vino took an oyster specimen, he pointed with the corner of his eyes at the oyster in his hand, then he took a slice of lemon.

with an amused expression on her face, Vira nodded her head, she tried to see how her husband was eating raw oysters and she was about to try but…

“How about I just ask for grilled oysters?” Vira tries to negotiate with her husband.

“No no no no..” said Vino half forcefully. “You should try to enjoy oysters this way, it’s the art of eating food.”

“Okay, fine, if that’s what you want.” Vira’s voice sounded resigned.

“So, first you have to get the oysters.” Vino pointed at the oyster dish on the table and asked his wife to take one of the oysters with a forced look in his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Vira took one oyster shell. She chose the smallest one and it was not too slippery. She is not very familiar with seafood, let alone with raw food, so eating appetizers like this was a tough challenge for her.

“Now squeeze the lemon over the oysters.” Vino demonstrates his speech like a YouTuber who was streaming.

With a reluctant face, Vira followed the direction of her husband, she began to put lemon on her oyster, slowly squeezing on the oyster, so that the sour smell stung fresh in her nose

“If you like salt and pepper you can add flavor on top of the lemon juice.” Vino continued the tutorial on enjoying raw oysters to his wife.

“Because I don’t like the salty taste so I won’t add anything on top of my oysters,” he continued.

“Wait, looks like I have to add a little salt so that my tongue can taste the sensation of this amazing appetizer, maybe I won’t forget the first taste impression left on my tongue after tonight,” Vira said with a mocking tone of voice.

Vino waited for his wife to add a little salt on top of her oyster which reacted slightly.

“Okay, are you ready?” Asked Vino then.

Vira nodded her head. “Yes or no, I must be ready, I have to try this food.” The answer sounds like surrender.

vino chuckled at his wife’s words, he could see the reluctant face in front of him at this time, but teasing his wife was fun.

Vino lifted the oyster in his hand, he took it out of the shell, took it with his index finger and thumb, he raised it above his opening mouth while tilting his head.

Vira did not blink a second to see how her husband ate raw oysters until she unconsciously swallowed her saliva.

Gulp!

Vino swallowed the oyster without chewing it and his actions made his wife gasp.

He opened his hands with a smile on his face. “The taste is so unique!” He said encouraging his wife who seemed reluctant to follow him.

Vira shook her head. She didn’t want to argue at their honeymoon destination.

“Good.” She said forcefully, she tried to follow what she saw earlier, she took the oyster, lifted it above her upturned mouth, one hand pinched on her nose, she held back an expression that looked very cranky.

Vino laughed at the expression on his wife’s face, and,

Gulp!

Finally, Vira swallowed the oyster without chewing. Her palms patted the table against the taste that made her tongue tingle.

“It tastes so sour!” She hissed with a grimace on her face.

“Hahaha…but it tastes delicious right?” Vino asked forcefully.

Vira took her drink, she nodded her head with a contrasting facial expression. “Not bad, luckily it has mucus, so it can slide down my throat easily, if it gets big and it will get stuck in my throat, you can’t blame me if I throw up here!” Vira tries to warn her husband.

“Oysters are good for us! I hope it can help us conceive!” Vino’s words made Vira’s face turn red.

“What are you saying!” She hissed in a low voice, she didn’t want anyone else to hear their current conversation.

“Why, nothing wrong with my words, right? You and I are husband and wife, we are here for our honeymoon, then a baby, that is my wish!” Vino said with an excited face.

“You bastard!” Vira hissed.

“Now let’s finish this oyster, I will eat 3 more, and you two more, after that I will take you to the harbor, I want to show you something,” Vino said, he thrust the plate of oysters between them, and only his face seemed excited.

“Geez, don’t they have a stove? I want cooked oysters, why would they give them raw oysters.” Vira could only protest with herself because, at this time, her husband was eager to finish off the oysters on the plate.

“Let’s finish it, you have to eat a little more tonight, because I will make you late in the middle of the sea, ah! I leaked it!” Vino looks annoyed with his own words.

“Huh, what about in the middle of the sea?” Vira couldn’t believe her ears.

He already said, Vino finally nodded his head.

“I will take you on my ship, we will stay at sea tonight.”

“Hah!” Vira couldn’t believe it.

Behind the stories’.

After two days passed, Jonathan had to get up early to go to work, he had to take a short flight to get to the island where the project he was working on.

“Sarah, are you ready?” He asked a little girl who was already wearing a school uniform.

The little girl nodded her head slowly, her face looking gloomy and silly.

“What is wrong?” Asked Jonathan.

This time the little girl shook her head, she didn’t want to open her mouth.

“Why, you look uninspired today?” Jonathan asked once more.

“Mom…” She said in a muffled voice.

Jonathan took a deep breath. “What’s wrong with your mother?” he asked with a gentle face, he squatted in front of the little girl who looked very sad that morning.

“She didn’t come home last night.” She said in a trembling voice.

Jonathan nodded his head, he smiled a little. “Are you afraid of being alone at home?” he asked.

Sarah shook her head. “I am not afraid.” She said in an almost inaudible voice.

“I want to come with you. Is your place of work very far away?” She asked with pleading eyes.

Jonathan with a sorry face had to nod, confirming Sarah’s question.

“I have to work and where I work is quite far away, I can’t take you to school, accompany you to do your homework from school, I can’t accompany you to go to the park. I am a father, a father must work hard for his family.” Jonathan tried to explain, then gave Sarah a warm hug.

“I prefer It when you are at home and working in the studio, Mom is already working, she works day and night, on weekends she goes to work too, she works on and on, does she still need her husband to work too?” Sarah’s question felt so deep for Jonathan.

His lips curled into a small grin. “You’re right, your mother works day and night even on holidays. That’s why we can live in a nice house, have a car, it’s all thanks to your mother’s job, and this father of yours is just an unemployed person. you’re the only one who takes pride in my work, everyone underestimates my work.” Jonathan’s voice was soft and quivering. He harbored sadness and pain in his heart.

“Now the time has come for me to play the role of a father. As a husband. I have to repay your mother’s struggle, I have to work hard and make a lot of money for your future, for our better life, for–” Jonathan stopped. He was very tired of his relationship with Michele. He was very tired. He wants to have a happier life, then what about the owner of these round eyes who seem to love him so much.

“Sarah, listen to your father’s love and I care for you, you must be a good girl, okay… dad has to work and be away from you, but dad always loves you.”

Sarah nodded her head.

Slam!

The sound of a door slamming.

Jonathan and Sarah were surprised, both of them turned their heads in the direction of the voice.

“Looks like your mother is home,” said Jonathan.

Sarah was silent.

“You have to go to school, the pick-up car school will be here soon, let me take you to the front.” Sarah nodded, following her father’s arm.

“Sarah!!! Get me some water!!” Michele’s screams from the hall startled Sarah.

Jonathan shook his head, “let dad fetch water for your mom.”

Jonathan felt Sarah’s grip tighten in the palm of his hand.

“Sarah, what’s wrong?”
