L looked at Sylvester with folded hands. She retorted, "Married? You haven''t even proposed yet."


    Sylvester pinched L''s chin, shook it from side to side, and looked down at her. He simply said, "Darling, twice."


    "What?" L questioned and looked puzzled.


    "You hinted twice for me to marry you," Sylvester stated as he withdrew his hand and pinched L''s with his left hand. He stared deeply into her eyes with a smirk. "You actually want to marry me." Sylvester used a statement, not a question.


    L blushed, withdrew her hand, and pushed his chest away. She awkwardly replied, "You''re talking nonsense. Who''s in a hurry to marry you?"


    Sylvester leaned in close to L, bit her earlobe, and licked it. His voice was sexy and enticing as he said, "Alright, you''re not in a hurry, but I am. When we leave the Divine Doctor Association''s base, let''s go get officially married, okay?" Sylvester wanted L to belong to himpletely.


    He wanted L to be hiswful wife.


    L suddenly pushed him away and said, "ording to article 1047 of the Marriage Law of Pliar country, the minimum age for marriage is set at twenty-two for males and twenty for females."


    Sylvester disdainfully said, "Do you think this could stop me?"


    L shook her head, wrapping her arms around him and resting her head on his chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she feltpletely safe and more dependent on Sylvester.


    She gently exined, "No, Sylvester. I want to be your wife, but I want to be your wife without distractions. Could you give me two years, wait until I''m twenty, and give me a modern and civilized wedding?"


    L chose Sylvester. She slowly became willing to ept modern civilization to be with Sylvester.


    She wanted to ept the baptism of God within the limits allowed by Pliar countryw and officially be Sylvester''s wife.


    And now, L had many enemies to avenge. She couldn''t the cruelty with which they had ughtered her people, and she couldn''t help but think of how she had been denied a happy life.


    L had too much to do and too many people to avenge. She wanted to resolve all these and live peacefully and happily with Sylvester forever.


    Sylvester looked down at L lying in his arms and lightly pinched her earlobe with his right hand. And it felt smooth and soft to his touch. Sylvester''s lips curled up into a smile and made a solemn promise as he said, "Alright." Sylvester casually lifted L''s chin and lowered his head to kiss her. He assured her, "I''ll wait for the day you turn twenty."


    When that day came, Sylvester would announce to the world that his wife was L Gomez.


    L tilted her head to receive his kiss. Just as Sylvester was about to take the next step, L quickly grabbed his hand. "I''m hungry," she said.


    Upon hearing L''s words, Sylvester immediately let her go and saw L panting with mist in her eyes.


    L was truly endearing.


    Sylvester hadn''t finished kissing her, and he was annoyed that L interrupted him.


    Sylvester pinched L''s chin fiercely. And he frustratedly asked, "Darling, are you doing this on purpose?"


    L knew Sylvester wouldn''t let her go hungry, so she used this to refuse him.


    Seeing Sylvester staring at her intently with a hint of displeasure on his face, L stuck out her tongue, grabbed Sylvester''s slender index finger, and began to act coy. She insisted, "I''m not lying. I didn''t have breakfast." L had yet to have breakfast. Sylvester picked her up and carried her outside.


    After a few steps, Sylvester realized he couldn''t indulge L like this anymore.


    He raised his hand and spanked L''s buttocks hard.


    "You dare spank me?" L said in disbelief and she didn''t expect Sylvester to hit her. She hugged Sylvester''s neck with one hand and rubbed her buttocks with the other as she stared at Sylvester. Sylvester actually spanked her buttocks.


    Although L barely felt any pain, she still felt it was strange.


    Sylvester didn''t pamper L, and even in L''s using gaze, he raised his hand again and spanked her again. He said righteously, "You didn''t have breakfast. So you deserve it."


    L felt embarrassed and angry, but she didn''t want to give in to Sylvester''s words. She taunted, "Go ahead. It doesn''t hurt."


    Sylvester faced L''s using gaze and wanted tough, but he had to maintain a serious expression. He retorted, "It doesn''t hurt? Then why did you rub your buttocks?"


    With that, Sylvester spanked L''s buttocks hard again.


    L''s slender legs hung around Sylvester''s waist and kicked around. Her cheeks were red, and she struggled as she said, "Let me down. Let me down."


    Sylvester immediately realized that L was afraid of him spank her buttocks. He raised an eyebrow, and his tone was fierce as he said, "If I catch you not having breakfast again in the future, I will punish you twice the number of times that I spanked you this time, and so on."


    L was unhappy and stared at him. She said usingly, "Tyrant. You''re a tyrant."


    Upon hearing this, Sylvester narrowed his eyes and raised his hand as if to spank her again. L widened her eyes, and just before Sylvester''s hand came down, she tightly hugged Sylvester and pleaded as she said, "You''re the best. Please don''t spank me again. I won''t skip breakfast from now on."


    In terms of strength, L was far inferior to Sylvester.


    Although L had never lost a fight, since she met Sylvester, she knew she couldn''t beat him at all.


    But even if she couldn''t win, couldn''t she act coquettish?


    Indeed, as long as she acted coquettishly towards Sylvester, he couldn''t bear to truly punish her. Sylvester pressed down on L''s back and gently stroked her.


    It was true that Sylvester couldn''t bear to punish L.


    Sylvester''s right hand moved down and gently rubbed the spot where L had been spanked.


    To others, this scene seemed like a yful interaction between them.


    On the way, the servants watched this scene and couldn''t help but cover their mouths andugh softly.


    L leaned her chin on Sylvester''s shoulder. Hearing theughter, she felt her face hot. She then exined softly, "I didn''t have breakfast because I was worried about you. I wanted to eat with you."


    Sylvester''s heart warmed, and the pressure of his hand became lighter. He said softly, "No one can harm me. No matter what, you must have breakfast from now on."


    Sylvester felt that L''s thoughts for him didn''t disappoint his love for her.


    L nodded heavily and promised Sylvester.


    After breakfast, L went to Flora''s residence.


    Since Flora had attempted suicide by cutting her wrists and had her memories erased through hypnosis, she had been staying inside the Merlin of the Divine Doctor Association.


    At this moment, the lush plum trees had not yet bloomed its blossoms.


    In the Merlin, there was a pavilion where Flora, dressed in a light blue dress, sat on a bench with bandages still wrapped around her hands. She was doing handicrafts.


    L walked through the shadows of the trees and stood under a plum tree. And then she looked at Flora as her eyes gradually turned red.
