His Priority

  "Why do you say that?" Viviana asked. 

"It's the way his servants respect you," Gabriella said. "Last night I noticed how he let you take the decision. Even the housekeeper was polite with you."

"Wow, that…" Viviana was about to say that it makes no sense, but she stopped herself.

It does make sense. 

This is Leander's house and everyone here is loyal to him and will listen to him. His people won't respect his wife if they have a feeling that Leander doesn't like his wife much. 

"He insists that everyone treats me as his wife," Viviana waved her hand. "It's an issue of his pride rather than…Maybe he has some plan. I don't think it's…"

Viviana gulped as she remembered what he said in the morning. He was about to say…. 

Gabriella chuckled.

"Eat first. Talk later," Viviana pointed at the food. She didn't know what she was talking about.
