Why in the world did you hang up?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did it because I&#8217;m your husband.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He just says that and takes my phone upstairs.<\/p>\n<p>Husband? It&#8217;s hard for me to adapt to that word.<\/p>\n<p>I also run upstairs and snatch my phone from his hand before he enters.<\/p>\n<p>I see a bunch of missed calls on my phone, and those are all from Steven.<\/p>\n<p>He calls me for so many times, there must be something important.<\/p>\n<p>Frances unexpectedly hangs up my calls!<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s really going too far!<\/p>\n<p>I immediately call Steven back.<\/p>\n<p>Frances looks sullen beside me as he watches me making the call.<\/p>\n<p>The feeling of being watched restrains me.<\/p>\n<p>I turn around and make the call with my back against Frances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat&#8217;s up, Steven? I didn&#8217;t bring my phone, so I didn\u2019t know that you called.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the other end of the call, Steven slowly speaks after being silent for a few seconds, \u201cYou and Frances are married?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My body suddenly freezes.<\/p>\n<p>Not because of Steven&#8217;s words.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s because Frances suddenly hugs me from my back.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s hugging my waist with both hands and he&#8217;s\u00a0also rubbing his head around my neck affectionately.<\/p>\n<p>My brain goes blank in an instant and my body involuntarily trembles.<\/p>\n<p>It takes a long time before I snap out of it.<\/p>\n<p>I turn my head and whisper to Frances, \u201cWhat are you doing? Let me go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Right after that, Frances suddenly bites my ears softly.<\/p>\n<p>I hang up in a hurry while saying that.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, I stomp my feet towards Frances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrances, are you crazy? Can&#8217;t you see that I&#8217;m on a call?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I stomp really strongly, but Frances just frowns and smiles before saying, \u201cIs that so? You&#8217;re asking another guy to meet up in front of your husband. You even said that I&#8217;m a&#8230; Dog?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He raises his eyebrows and gives a very dangerous feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Frances really shocks me&#8230; I just say that casually, but he won&#8217;t let me off.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, my words are actually true.<\/p>\n<p>I curl my lips and say, \u201cDon&#8217;t you feel that you&#8217;re like a teddy bear that&#8217;s on heat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn heat? Then I&#8217;ll just show you how it actually is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frances picks me up and walks to the room regardless of my struggle.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, there&#8217;s a shout at the door downstairs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can say what you want later.
