A Husband For Killer Mom

37 Ch. 37 Quick-witted Lori (part 1)

For two hours, Lori was pampered with views of the green grass on both sides as well as the typical Dutch windmill building and various kinds of flowers adorned their journey.

Anxia couldn’t help but enjoy this trip with a fairytale-like view. It would be a perfect day if only Richard hadn’t sat so close to her.

Along the course, the quick-witted Lori had become good at using her mother’s smartphone and taking candid photos of her parents sitting next to each other.

Her mother looked to the right while her father didn’t stop talking to her. Richard invited Anxia to speak from time to time, but the woman only answered as briefly as possible without turning her head.

Lori sighed heavily as if she was an adult who had resigned herself to thinking about the complicated things she was going through. She was pretty distraught to see her mother stubbornly unwilling to open up to her father’s advances.

Ting! Suddenly an imaginary light flashed above her head, indicating she had a brilliant idea.

“Daddy, mommy, how about we take a picture together? We don’t have a photo together yet!”

“Great idea!” exclaimed Anxia in ecstasy.

Richard glanced at Anxia, dumbfounded. How could he not? It was the first time he had heard his wife’s enthusiastic and excited tone since they had set out to explore the city’s canals.

.....

“Come here; let’s take a photo together,” added Anxia, making Lori squeal delightfully.

Lori came over to them, and with a gentle motion, Anxia told Richard to move away so Lori could sit in the middle of them. Richard didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. His wife was excited to take a picture with him because she could sit far away from him.

Because Richard adored the two ladies before him, he relented and let his daughter sit between them.

Luckily Richard brought a phone bar so they could have lovely photos.

Once, twice, but none of the photos seemed to satisfy Lori.

“Oh, no, why did I close my eyes?”

“Ah, mommy, why are you frowning?”

“Oh my gosh, my hair is a mess. I can’t see my face.”

And various other complaints. Richard could barely hold back his laughter at his daughter’s blatantly made-up complaints. Ah, his baby girl was so playful, just like when he was little.

Richard knew very well that Lori had deliberately asked for a get-together picture so that Anxia would get used to being close to him.

On the other hand, Anxia was irritated to death by her daughter’s misbehavior. What’s up with Lori today? It’s unusual for her daughter to be this fussy, let alone complain incoherently, just because of a few photos.

Lori also adjusted their poses and told Richard to put his arm around Anxia’s shoulders while Lori was sitting in the middle or when Lori made her parents’ hands form a heart above their heads while smiling happily.

Since when did her daughter become such a pro-stylist? Anxia couldn’t find the answer at all.

Anxia couldn’t stand it when she had to sit with Richard’s hands around her waist. Not to mention that this bastard was deliberately stroking her waist with his looking finger. His fingers pressed against a sensitive spot she never knew she had. She bit the inside of her cheek to hold back a sigh of pleasure so her daughter wouldn’t suspect anything.

“I still remember exactly where your favorite spot is, wifey,” Richard whispered in her ear in a seductive voice.

Anxia gripped her shirt to keep herself from exploding right then and there.

‘Calm yourself, Anxia. Lori is here.’ She couldn’t show her monster side to her baby.

‘Lori is here.’ Anxia repeatedly said in her heart as if the words were a spell to quell her emotions.

“Lori, mommy is tired. You took pictures with your dad, okay?” finally, Anxia decided to stop this ridiculous photo event and pushed the hand of the asshole from her waist.

“Awwww, mommy. Once again. The last, I promise. Puweeesssss...” Lori held her mother’s clothes in her tiny hands while putting on puppy eyes and blinking her eyes repeatedly.

As Lori had expected, Anxia couldn’t refuse her request.

“Okay, the last one. After that, I’m done.”

“Yeah!! I want daddy and mommy to kiss my cheek at the same time!” Lori’s cheerful request made Anxia wish to sink to the earth’s bottom.

On the contrary, Richard praised his daughter’s intelligence in his heart and cheered happily. He knew Anxia would never refuse their daughter’s cute request. After all, kissing their daughter on the cheek was a natural thing to do.

So what Lori asked for was also a natural thing. But Anxia didn’t see it that way and didn’t like doing things with Richard as a family.

Even though Anxia was now officially Richard’s wife, it didn’t mean that she had given her heart to him. Sooner or later, she would leave the man once she had found her mother’s position and was sure that Lori could be safe without Master You’s threat in her life.

Anxia was only using this marriage for her daughter’s sake. If Lori wasn’t in her life, why would she be willing to marry this man?

“Mommy?” Lori’s call broke Anxia’s thoughts, making her sigh in resignation. Is there no other way to refuse her daughter’s request without hurting her daughter’s fragile heart?

“Anxia, ??just a regular kiss on the cheek. It’s not like you will kiss me anyway, or do you want to kiss me instead of Lori?”

Anxia stared dagger at her husband. How could that man utter such shameless words?!

“Oh? Do you want to kiss daddy, mom?”

“Not a chance!”

“...”

“...”

Unknowingly, Anxia answered her in a high tone as if she was angry. Lori immediately lowered her face and then fiddled with her fingers nervously.

“Qiao Anxia, ??you don’t need to be angry. Look what you’ve done. You scared her.” Richard carried Lori gently, patting her back while Lori rested her head on her father’s shoulder comfortably.

She didn’t dare look into her mother’s dreadful eyes, so Lori turned her head to the left.

Knowing that her daughter didn’t want to see her face made Anxia’s heart sink.

“Lori, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scold you.”

Richard gulped as Anxia moved closer to him. Her white and smooth neck was clearly visible in front of his eyes, and he could feel her intoxicating scent through his nose.

Anxia surely hated being close to him, but what is this? That girl took the initiative to approach him.

In truth, Anxia had no intention of approaching Richard. Her mind only focused on apologizing to Lori and making her daughter turn to her. She never expected that the closeness she did make her husband try desperately not to ‘feast’ on her right away.
