CHAPTER 10


    When he noticed Danie''s position in the bed''s centre, he cursed. How was she able to sleep


    quietly with her arms and legs spread wide apart to the point of upying the entire bed? The


    woman made no attempt to change into something more suitable for sleeping, such as pyjamas or


    nighties. She went to bed wearing the same flowered gown she wore when he came this morning.


    It''s revolting! And she snored as well! His gaze then locked on something dark...in her underarms.


    He moved away, closing his eyes. He''d never share a bed with Danie. No surprise she needed to


    go a great length to find someone like him. However, she might purchase underarm whitening with


    the money she has in her bank ount, or perhaps she was simply not fond of grooming herself.


    Marcus was ustomed to sleeping nude, but he covered himselfpletely tonight. He would


    never let his wife see his nude figure again in order to avoid being her target once more.


    Meanwhile, Danie tittered as she observed Marcus''s eyes narrowing in response to the sight of


    her ck underarms. He must have been one of those who found it repulsive. However, he was


    justified in hinting that he would sleep with her on her! The audacity! It was simple to apply ck


    eye shadow to her underarm, and she made certain it was visible to him. The man was amusing to


    see as he attempted to conceal his endearing figure from her eyes. Danie shifted her position


    before to ceasing to snore.


    She was scheduled to discuss it tomorrow, but she just couldn''t wait. She was eager to see whether


    he had a wife waiting for him... Then their marriage would be null and invalid.


    "Are you still awake, Marcus?"


    He found it difficult to sleep in a room with ady around. Danie was still a woman...and his wife,


    despite her ck underarms and seldom washing. "Yes, but why?" he said.


    When Danie heard him talk, she rose from her bed and approached him. "I''m simply curious as to


    whether you have a wife," she inquired.


    "Of course," he said, but wondered why she felt the need to approach him in order to ask her foolish


    question. Was she unaware that they got married the previous morning?


    When she heard his response, a fresh hope rose within her heart. Yes! She was relieved she hadn''t


    waited until the next day to approach him. "In such case, we are not required to annul our


    marriage." As she stated.


    "Howe not?" He sat up straight when she discussed postponing the annulment she mentioned


    following the marriage.


    "You said that you have a wife; thus, our marriage was null and void from the start!" Her voice was


    excited as she envisioned Paloma''s response upon hearing it.


    "It is you...stupid!" He rolled his eyelids and resumed his sleeping posture.


    Danie felt disappointed because she had be thrilled for no reason! "It''s inconvenient to sleep


    on the sofa," she said, and was ready to offer him the guest room adjacent to hers, but the man was


    not interested in hearing it.


    "I''m OK." He responded and motioned with his hand for them to leave him alone.


    Danie brought her feet back to the bed with a nod. She was not afraid of Marcus since she


    recognized him as a decent man. No, she should put him out of her mind! She closed her eyes and


    drifted off to sleep.

    However, Marcus remained there in her dreams even when she slept. Or perhaps she should refer


    to it as a nightmare! She massaged her eyes and regarded the timepiece. It was around five a.m.


    She got enough sleep if she counted the hours, but why was she still tired?


    She rose from bed and discovered that the sofa was vacant. Marcus, where are you? She listened


    to see whether he was in the bathroom but heard nothing. It was far too quiet. Or perhaps he


    discovered a method to get away from her. That is admirable, and she wished him sess in his


    quest.


    Danie down the stairs and made her way to the kitchen to cook breakfast. She was in the mood


    for champorado, a type of chocte porridge. Glutinous rice, chocte bars, milk, and sugar were


    the primaryponents of Champorado. She was on her way to the kitchen when she detected the


    aroma of garlic. She continued walking and there was her spouse in front of the stove. She


    approached him and promptly extinguished the mes.


    "Are you blind to the fact that I''m cooking?" Marcus was enraged when she abruptly shut off the fire


    while he was in the midst of making breakfast. His wife didn''t prepare anythingst night and forced


    him to eat simply bread, and he was already famished. He was saut??ing garlic and onions in a


    pan in preparation for the corned beef omelet he desired. Rice had already been cooked in the rice


    cooker, and a cup of ck coffee was also prepared.


    "I despise anything garlicky. If you truly want that corned beef, simply heat it on the stovetop; it will


    be ready to eat." She informed him.


    "You''re exaggerating, Dani. If you''re not a fan of the stench, then leave. Return to your room and


    catch up on some sleep." He responded, but quickly regretted what he had said. The woman must


    havee to the kitchen for the same reason she did: she was hungry and pregnant. When


    Marcus approached Danie and took her to the dining table, she refused to return to her room and


    began preparing the ingredients for her porridge.


    "Hey, asshole, put me down!"


    He sat her in one of the dining chairs and informed her that she would have to wait while he made


    their meal. "Do not fear; I am capable of preparing the porridge!" He returned to the stove and


    switched it on when the woman nodded.


    As a result, she disliked the smell of garlic, and glowered her eyes at him.


    Marcus grinned as an idea shed across his mind. It was the first time he became so enamored


    with saut??ing the garlic and onions that he overdone the spices and had to discard them. He


    then peeled another onion and garlic head. He was so taken with teasing the woman with the garlic


    fragrance that he was taken aback when Danie dashed to the restroom and vomited up.


    "Are you all right?" While the woman continued to retch with her saliva, he felt horrible for her. He


    retrieved a cup from the cupboard, filled it with hot water, and handed it to Danie. "Here, have a


    drink." He stated as he softly rubbed her back while she remained bowed on the toilet.


    "Thank you," she said, happy for the hot water but knowing that Marcus had prepared another


    combination of spices specifically to punish her. She was going to make him pay...soon.


    "I believe you''d be wise to take a bath now. Dani, you stink." He made light of her foul stench, but a


    shower would make her feel better and more refreshed. "Leave immediately while I prepare," he


    directed.


    She rolled her eyes at him. If he disliked her odour, he could just cover his nose! "However, I am not


    scheduled to take a bath today. That will be next week, and I don''t want to jeopardize my health


    over something as trivial as your dislike for my body odour." She responded, and she almost


    laughed out so loud upon seeing his reaction.
