The room remained silent for several moments after Tony asked what he needed to do before she would willingly share a bed with him.
The bride sat upright against the headboard while staring at him as though she had just discovered an entirely new species.
Throughout the entire day, this man had continued saying things that made no sense. First, he claimed he would abandon Madam Lan. Then he behaved like a normal person during the wedding ceremony. Now he was asking questions that sounded suspiciously sincere.
The more she observed him, the more uncomfortable she became. The thought annoyed her immediately.
"Stop looking at me like that," she said.
Tony smiled. "Like what?"
"Like you want to eat me."
That answer genuinely surprised him.
The woman sighed before shaking her head. "My name is Skylar Sky. Since we're apparently married now, I suppose I should at least remind you."
Tony nodded. "Skylar. Beautiful name."
