Flash Marriage : Another 14 Chapter Fourteen

The following day after dinner she was leisurely sitting at the bar, again coming across Akiyama. At first glance his mood did not seem so bad, how open-minded she thought.

*FL is referring to his 'openness' towards s.e.xual relations between men

After seeing her he did not hesitate to sit next to her, speaking in a resentful tone that became more aggrieved as she s.h.i.+fted her chair further apart from his "You really are a very cold person"

"How so?" She replied impa.s.sively, she does not like when others act overly familiar with her or are in close proximity to her personal s.p.a.ce, madara being the only male exception.

Akiyama glared at her, weakly said "You know what your incompetent husband said to me yesterday?"

Incredulous, she asked "After last nights event you still consider him incompetent?"

His eyes narrowed and he fiercely said "So it was indeed you who induced him to do that yesterday" she looked at him indifferently as if she had nothing to do with it.

"But fortunately he is a normal person" he added. Madara? Normal? That's an understatement.

Akiyama saw that she did not care and angrily recounted last nights events.

It was somewhat roughly like this:

Yesterday evening, Madara suddenly broke into Akiyama's room and told him a few things. First, his wife sent him to **** Akiyama, but his spirit of humanitarianism pulled the rein of his horse. Second, in the future Akiyama should stay away from them, if not then he would not say no and would obediently listen to his wife's command. And third, the most important point, He was quite normal and his capability is extremely powerful! If Akiyama did not believe it then both of them should right away give it a try to check. After saying those words Madara immediately left.

Listening to him outline the events of the previous night filled her mind with many questions, after saying those words he immediately left? If so, where did he go? Why did he return so late in the night? Were there other good looking men who were attracted to him as well?

Akiyama concluded his report in one sentence "You really are hopelessly corrupted!"

Hopelessly corrupted? In what sense was she hopelessly corrupted? She is not.

Akiyama just changed the topic and asked "Your husband did not look serious about raping a man, but he really is not bis.e.xual, right?"

"He is not" He likes men only, so technically it is the truth.

*Also you may have notice, you would be silly not to, that FL refers to second male lead as Akiyama rather than Yayoi, this is because other than those she is close to she will formally address individuals by their surname.

*Next day

They had been in Maldives for several days now, her threes meal mainly consisted of fruits. There wasn't much food she liked that the hotel catered, as a result of her 'diet' she lost one kilogram.

She admired Madara's ability to adapt, it was clear for her to see he did not like western food yet he still relished it regularly.

A random thought came to mind as she seized the opportunity to ask him "Then, my cooking...is it good or bad?"

Madara saw how her golden orbs sparkled with antic.i.p.ation, thought for a moment, said "good"

Good? That's all he had to say? She is not one to boast however if she must say so herself, her cooking was quite delicious. Anyway she will take the compliment.

*I took out the part where the original second male lead called since FL already blocked his number

During dinner while they were eating she got a message from her mother, 'happy birthday my love, hope the honeymoon is going well! There's no shame in initiating contact, fighting! Love mum'

"Today is my birthday...I forgot" Had her mother not messaged she would not have realised it was her birthday at all. She had spoken her thoughts aloud. Finis.h.i.+ng up her dinner she headed to bathroom to wash up and changed into a loose white s.h.i.+rt with light blue pajama pants.

She stayed in the bathroom for a while carefully drying the strands of her silky ink like hair, before tying her hair in a bun. Some strands loosely coiled around her pretty face.

She laid on the bed s.p.a.cing out blankly, when suddenly Madara spoke "Is today your birthday?"

"Yes" even though it didn't show she was surprised, how did he know?

He was quiet for a bit, but eventually said "well, happy birthday"

In the moment, she asked "Well, have you prepared a present for me?"

Madara replied in a definitive tone "No" She didn't know why she bothered to asked in the first place. Did that stupid man's stupidity rub off on her? Though it would be a lie if she said she did not enjoy receiving presents. Who doesn't?

*The stupid man of course being the second male lead

Seeing the expectation that danced in her eyes recede he added "What do you want? I will get it"

She thought for a while before shaking her head. "Forget it, as it is we are neither relatives nor friends"

He did not acquiesce to her words "How can you say that. You are my wife."

Wife or not, this is merely a farce. She didn't feel tired and pulled out her laptop to go online. She received a few messages from former cla.s.smates wis.h.i.+ng her a happy birthday. Sakuya also left a message 'Seirraaaa, happiest birthday! Don't forget my souvenir xo'

Maldives was four hours behind j.a.pan on time, Sakuya must already be asleep by this time. This would be the first time she did not celebrate her birthday with her mother and/or Sakuya.

Meanwhile Madara watched her from the side as she dazed off, it was unusual for her to be up at this time. But taking her birthday into consideration, it was a possibility it was because of this. After she played a few online games she fell asleep, he sighed helplessly as he took the laptop from her, shutting it and placing it on top of the drawer. He put the blanket over her and went to bed.
