I lowered my gaze. "I just don't want to go public right now."
"What are you worried about? There's nothing between me and Lilian anymore. I'll keep my promise to you," he said softly.his hand sliding down to my waist.
I swallowed and shook my head. "I just don't want to. Let me go."
He sighed. "I'll let you go… but say something nice to me first."
I gritted my teeth. "Ewww Childish. Let me go."I said as I scrunched my nose at him.
"Be good," he murmured, pulling me closer again. "Call me husband, and I'll let you go."
"Alexander, are you serious?"
"Pretend I am."
I bit my lip, lowering my voice. "Husband… is that enough?"
"Louder. I didn't hear you."
"Alexander!" I snapped.
"I'm listening," he said, smiling faintly.
"Husband," I repeated louder this time. "Is that better?"
"Good girl," he said, patting my head.
Then he added, "Wait for me on the sofa. We'll leave together."
"Is that all? That's really why you called me here?" I asked, clearly annoyed.
