Wyatt’s carefully staged misery was punctured in an instant, yet he showed no embarrassment. Instead, he pressed his advantage, sliding an arm around her waist, his chin brushing the crown of her head as he chuckled low. “Ms. Yunice sees right through everything… so when can this ‘sir‘ finally become official?”
Yunice ignored the question, only patting the hand clamped around her waist. “Let go. You stink.”
With that, she turned and headed toward the bedroom.
Wyatt immediately followed at her heels. But after a few steps, Yunice heard something odd behind her a faint, uneven breath, accompanied by deliberately heavy, dragging footsteps.
Suspicious, she turned and saw Wyatt leaning on the hallway wall, walking with a limp, his brow faintly furrowed. The moment her gaze landed on him, he straightened up, trying to hide it, only to let out a quiet hiss of pain.
Her brows knitted for real this time, eyes falling to his knees. “You really knelt?”
She had seen the two durians by the door earlier, but assumed they were just props for that father–daughter performance. After all, Wyatt was a man who prized his dignity above all else -even at home. How could he possibly have really done it?
Wyatt’s eyes wavered for a split second before he muttered vaguely, “…not for long.”
But everything in his tone and expression screamed, Ask me if it hurts. Come on, feel sorry for me.
Yunice stared at him for a couple of seconds, then suddenly turned and went into the bedroom.
Wyatt’s heart jolted. Had he gone too far? He hurried after her, forgetting all about the limp.
But she only walked to the nightstand, bent down, and pulled a fresh, unopened bottle of medicated oil from the bottom drawer. Without so much as glancing his way, she tossed it backward with perfect aim into his arms.
“Rub it yourself.” Her tone was calm, even a little disdainful. “Don’t end up crippled tomorrow and make Xixi think I abused you.”
Wyatt fumbled to catch the heavy bottle. The cold glass pressed into his palm, yet his chest went hot, his lips curving upward despite himself.

Clutching it like a treasure, he trailed after Yunice as she changed into her nightclothes, resting his chin on her shoulder with brazen persistence.
“Honey,” his muffled voice brimmed with delight, “you do care about me.”
