Can Someone (Anyone!) Please Turn Off the Auto-Skill Setting?! - Chapter 93
“I’m just wondering how we should go about trusting the bank if a married couple’s assets are jointly owned.”
“…I’ll explain it to you.”
“Are you really familiar with that? Have you ever been married before?”
“There’s no way I’ve been married. I’ve just learned about it.”
“That’s a relief. If you had been, I was going to decide not to marry you.”
Aaron’s stiff expression momentarily froze, then relaxed as his tension melted away. He grabbed Nancy’s hand and smiled.
“So, you’re saying yes, right? You’ll marry me.”
He wanted a clear answer. Nancy, with a coy expression, rolled her eyes from side to side before finally nodding.
Aaron pushed back his chair and stood up. He wrapped his arms around Nancy’s shoulders, slipped his hands under her knees, and lifted her up.
“You said you wouldn’t pounce on me during a meal.”
“Weren’t you already done eating?”
Aaron, not interested in debating, walked purposefully toward the bed. As he laid Nancy down, he began to untie the robe’s belt he had so securely tied earlier.
His urgency was palpable, and he grew slightly frustrated at how well he had tied the knot. Just as he was about to get irritated with himself, Nancy wrapped her legs around his waist.
“…I was going to be gentle since we just finished eating, but if you provoke me like this, what can I do?”
“You like it.”
Nancy smiled mischievously, and Aaron let out a deep sigh. He gave up on the knot, grabbed the front of the robe, and pulled it open. Nancy let out a playful, exaggerated squeal. The giggle in her scream revealed her anticipation and delight.
“You’re right. I like it.”
Aaron teased her nxxples, watching her reaction closely. Each time his fingers brushed against her sensitive skin, her legs tightened around his waist.
Their faces drew closer, preparing for a kiss, when suddenly, someone knocked on the bedroom door.
“Young Master, His Lordship is calling for you.”
It was the butler. At the mention of his father, the heat that had been building inside Aaron cooled instantly. But he wasn’t ready to give up yet. He moved in for the kiss, only to hear the butler’s voice again.
“It’s urgent, sir.”
Aaron hesitated, and Nancy burst into laughter beneath him.
“Looks like you’re about to get scolded.”
She seemed amused at the idea of him getting in trouble. Aaron glared at her and sighed.
“That’s odd. I don’t remember doing anything worth scolding.”
“You think your father wouldn’t scold his son for being a s*x-crazed man who can’t stop jumping on women, even after an all-night session?”
If that was the reason, he’d have no excuse.
Muttering to himself, Aaron got up from the bed. As he hurriedly dressed, Nancy lay on her stomach, watching him with amusement.
“Make sure you tell him it wasn’t me seducing you, but you who couldn’t control yourself and pounced first. Got it?”
Nancy added with a grin, saying she didn’t want her shop shut down again. Aaron shot her a glare. He was in no mood for jokes, but she seemed to be enjoying herself, which irritated him even more.
“Stop swinging your legs around like that.”
He pointed to her bare legs, which were exposed as the robe had slid down, revealing them as she lazily kicked them.
“Why? Do I look improper?”
“It’s making me want to jump on you again, no matter how angry my father is.”
“See? I was right. You are a s*x-crazed man.”
Nancy snorted, clearly enjoying teasing him. Fully dressed, Aaron approached her. Propping herself up on her elbows, Nancy looked up at him, resting her chin in her hands.
Aaron thought her upturned eyes looked especially cute today. Knowing he was about to be called to his father’s office for a long lecture, he was already starting to miss that gaze.
“If you tell me not to go, I won’t.”
“I’m not going to say that. I don’t want to get on bad terms with your father, especially when I’m hoping my shop will be re-opened smoothly.”
Although she’d already gotten on his bad side a little, she figured it wasn’t too late to fix things, seeing as his father had summoned his son and not her. Nancy was optimistic.
“If I go, I might not be able to come back to you for a while.”
Aaron, clearly not wanting to leave, lingered. Outside, the butler called for him again.
“Then I’ll just take a nap until you return.”
“So, while I’m getting scolded, you’ll just sleep peacefully?”
“What else am I supposed to do? Besides, it’s much less terrifying for you to get scolded than for me. You’re the son, after all.”
Aaron’s eyebrows shot up.
She could tell that if she teased him any further, he might sulk. To soothe him, Nancy pressed a kiss to her palm and blew it toward him with a soft muah~
“Take the scolding for your dear future bride.”
