Chapter 580 His Preference for Simpler Dishes
She actually told him to find someone else.
Initially, it was a casual remark that she clearly didn’t think through; something she wouldn’t have
rememberedter. However, ric’s discontent became evident as he heard it. His brows began
furrowing tightly as though he took great offense to her statement.
Victoria also realized the inappropriateness of her previous words. How could she suggest to her
beloved that he should find someone else? At this moment, she reacted and swiftly attempted to rectify
the situation.
“I didn’t mean it that way…”
“Then, what did you mean? Are you implying that it’s eptable for me to seekpanionship
elsewhere?”
She always appeared hesitant to be with me. Perhaps there was an element of her memory loss
contributing to it, but of course, my injuries yed a part as well. But… Could it be that her resistance
tomitting to this rtionship has prevented us from truly getting together?
In the past, ric often had to coax and deceive her to savor a taste of her. It was precisely due to this
that he had been patiently waiting all this time.
However, at this moment, all his anticipation seemed to crumble as Victoria told him to find someone
else. Perhaps, this is her true inner thoughts?
ric knew he shouldn’t be so sensitive as it wasn’t how a man should be. Nevertheless, he seemed
utterly incapable of controlling his anxious heart whenever he faced her.
“Of course not!” When she noticed his current terrible mood, she could only hasten to soothe him. “I
genuinely didn’t mean it that way. I never thought about it like that.”
As Victoria exined, she leaned in slightly of her own ord. The fragrance from her enveloped
ric’s breath, causing him to lower his gaze while still fixating on her with a somber expression.
“Unintentional words sometimes reveal deep subconscious thoughts.”
“That’s not true!” Victoria shook her head. “Don’t misinterpret me. I genuinely didn’t mean it!”
By the end of her statement, she was getting a bit anxious. “You can question me about other things,
but not this. I have never thought that way. How could I possibly push the man I like to someone
else?”
Although ric’s heart still felt heavy, it had to be acknowledged that Victoria’s firm resolve and her
acknowledgment of him being the man she liked did bring him considerable joy. His mood noticeably
brightened, and a slight curl formed on his lips. “Really?”
As Victoria worried about how much she needed to say to regain his favor, she was taken aback by
how just two simple sentences caused him to smile.
As she experienced a mixture of disbelief and realization that ric could be easily appeased, she also
discovered the immediate switch that could pacify him–affectionate words. These were not empty
ttery but genuine expressions of her affection and love for him.
Now that she knew this small technique to make him happy, she felt as though she had unlocked a
secret. She made a decision that if he ever felt upset in the future, she would use this method to
console him. After all, they were already married, so exchanging sweet words was natural, wasn’t it?
With this in mind, Victoria followed his lead and confidently stated, “Indeed, if you have the audacity to
seek. someone else, I won’t let you off the hook.”
As expected, ric was no longer upset after her firm statement; instead, his eyebrows raised, clearly
pleased by her words. “Oh, really? What do you n to do if I really did so?”
If he had been angry earlier, then this subsequent question clearly hinted at something else.

Victoria could read him like a book and knew just what he wanted to hear. “Hmm, let me think… First
and foremost, I will prevent you from leaving the house by restraining you with a rope.”
With these words, Victoria cast a hesitant nce at ric, noticing how his eyes slightly narrowed and
the veins on his forehead seemed to bulge in response.
Nevertheless, she was caught off guard by his response. Did he really react that way just because of
my remark? Is he actually excited? Could it be that ric had such a kink?
While Victoria pondered this possibility, ric suddenly spoke seriously, “So, when are you going to tie
me up?”
Victoria stared at him with a questioning look in her eyes before she understood what he was getting
at. When she did, she waspletely at a loss for words. On the other hand, ric appeared
somewhat more eager. He grabbed her delicate and slender wrist, suggesting, “How about trying it
next time?”
Victoria couldn’t help but withdraw her hand in the face of his enthusiasm; her face turning red as she
scolded him. “Aren’t you being a bit overboard?”
“How can it be considered overboard if this is between spouses? It’s just a matter of preference,” he
retorted.
She couldn’t tolerate him any longer nor could she bring herself to utter those sweet words anymore.
So, she said, “I’m going downstairs to have a look. Are you going to continue sleeping?”
How could ric still feel inclined to sleep after such amotion? He was already brimming with
energy. “No,
I’ll follow you down.”
Later, once they finished freshening up and getting dressed, they went down together. When they
arrived at the ground floor, Victoria finally understood the source of the noise; it turned out that the
elders were ying
with firecrackers with the children.
Since her father had acquired this entire area, and the houses were distanced enough, it was ensured
that the
firecrackers wouldn’t disturb others.
When Tony noticed them, he greeted them with a cheerful smile. “Did we disturb the both of you?”
Victoria didn’t admit it but simply asked, “Why did you wake up so early?”
“Early to bed and early to rise. You young people always like to stay upte; that’s why you struggle to
get up in the morning, and then struggle to sleep at night.”
These familiar words from her parents unsettled Victoria, prompting her immediate rebuttal. “Dad, since
when did we stay upte? Both ric and I have regr routines. We seldom work overtime at the
“Yes,” Mary supported her. “When she was in Corynthea, Snowball lived with us. This child indeed
goes to bed early and maintains a healthy routine.”
Tony could naturally perceive that Victoria had developed a healthy routine during this period. Her
complexion appeared radiant, with fair skin that seemed to glow. It was evident that she had been
getting sufficient sleep; people with poor sleep and those who stayed upte could not attain such a
complexion.
With Mary speaking up for her, Victoria felt a surge of pride. “Dad, did you hear that? I haven’t been
staying up
“Mhm, as long as you’re not staying upte. Still, don’t be toocent; keep it up.”
“Alright.”
It was rare to see her obediently following her parents‘ words, causing ric to stifle hisughter.
When she was with him, her words were always sharp. She would frequently argue with him at will,
though she also knew
how to make him very happy with that sharp tongue of hers.
Before ric could delve into his thoughts, Victoria had already stepped outside with her phone to
capture some photos.
Under the supervision of the adults, the two children ignited firecrackers and reveled in joy. As Victoria
approached to take pictures, they eagerly cooperated and posed together as well. Besides, with the
vi adorned with festive lights and decorations and the appreciation of everyone, the festive
atmosphere quickly permeated the air, fegardless of them being in a foreign country.
The housekeeper thoughtfully prepared pie, cookies, and pancakes for breakfast.
The chef, a Corynthean chef, was specially recruited to cater to Tony’s preference for simpler dishes.
