Chapter 113

"Oh, but I think the fun part is just about to start," said Hebaron.

The knight next to him elbowed his side. Riftan's expression was so frigid that the grins on the knights' faces instantly vanished.

"Actually, I think it's about time for our shift at the construction site…"

"Haha. Is that so? We should get going, Sir Hebaron."

Hebaron refused to leave, but the knights practically hurled him toward the door as they scurried out. Worried that she might have shamed her husband in front of his subordinates, Maxi furtively scanned his face.

Riftan watched the receding figures with an impassive expression before cupping her face and lowering his head. Warm lips brushed hers in a feathery kiss that made Maxi's nose turn red.

"D-Do not kiss me. I am… still angry with you."

"You sure know how to drive a man crazy."

With a bitter smile, he coiled a lock of her hair around his hand. Maxi heard him heave a sigh above her head.
