The atmosphere in the dining room dropped to a freezing point, with a subtle tension in the air.Adrien stood off to the side, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.Lila spoke up, “Mom, brother, please stop arguing. It’s true that Adrien didn’t handle this well. He’s indeed reached retirement age. Let him go home and enjoy his retirement.”Nathalie turned to look at her, took her hand, and said, “Lila, you always side with your brother. But since you’ve spoken, let’s just drop this matter.”Then she glanced at the butler. “You don’t need to come in tomorrow.”Adrien opened his mouth to say something, but Nathalie shot him a warning look, silencing him. He turned and left without another word.Nathalie then turned to Aaron, “Why are you still standing there? Go upstairs and change your clothes before you burn yourself.”Lila added, “Brother, Mom cares about you. The only reason she didn’t agree to let Adrien go before was because we’re used to him, and she was worried about adjusting to someone new. Please don’t stay mad, okay?” Like a little angel, she moved back and forth between Nathalie and Aaron, easing the tension between them.Nathalie’s expression softened visibly. “Alright, let’s eat.”Aaron’s gaze remained cold, but his objective was met. He looked over at Selena and said, “Come with me to change my clothes.”Nathalie interjected, “Why do you need someone to accompany you to change clothes? Are you a child?”Aaron replied, “I want to be intimate with my wife.””You…” Nathalie hadn’t expected him to say such a thing and was left speechless.Lila bit her lip, her hand clenching into a fist. Selena, feeling embarrassed, glared at him in frustration, but still got up and followed him to the room.Once the door closed, she said, “What kind of thing was that to say?”Aaron responded, “If I hadn’t said it, do you think they’d have let you come up so easily?”Selena pursed her lips and glanced at him, asking, “Did you get burned?”Aaron replied, “Why don’t you check for yourself?”The soup had spilled onto his thigh, and to check, she’d have to take off his pants.Selena’s cheeks flushed red as she turned and went into the closet. “You’re impossible. I’m not checking!”Aaron chuckled softly and then took off his clothes. The soup hadn’t been scalding, so he wasn’t burned.As Selena was picking out clothes for him, he suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder, and whispered, “Not quite satisfying.”Selena replied, “As long as you got what you wanted. At least they now know what you’re thinking.”Aaron lowered his gaze and said, “Selena, for the time being, you shouldn’t go out. Leave everything to me.””Alright.”She nodded and handed him the clothes she had picked out.Instead of taking them, Aaron kissed her, pressing her against the full-length mirror. Their reflections intertwined in the glass, their bodies close and inseparable.By the time they went back downstairs, Nathalie and Lila had already finished dinner.Nathalie didn’t look pleased. “Are you still planning to eat?”Lila’s eyes were red. She glanced at Aaron, then at Selena, noticing her swollen lips. Her eyes reddened even more.
