Bab 402: Chapter 163

"Does it upset you that much to see another woman bat her eyes at me?" Riftan teased. Ignoring Maxi's glower, he glued himself to her back. He rested his chin on her shoulder and continued smugly, "I had no idea my wife was this possessive. I'd better watch myself from now on."

"Th-The princess was making advances on a married man! I-I simply couldn't stand her brazen behavior!"

Riftan's smile only widened at her feeble excuse. Maxi looked up at him sharply, eyes blazing like an enraged wildcat, and struggled to free herself.

Instead of letting her go, Riftan picked her up and sat on the bed. He placed her on his lap and whispered sweet words to her as he peppered her pouting cheeks with feathery kisses.

"You are endearing even when you're angry."

It took everything Maxi had to maintain her furious expression, but she found she could not withstand his gentle ambush for long. Sliding his hand inside her robe, Riftan tenderly caressed her abdomen through her flimsy dress.
