“Is that not OK?”

Her expression made him angrier.

Alexia really didn’t seem to understand her duties in the marriage and didn’t regard him as a wife should. Otherwise, why would his appearance surprise her so much?

In the past three years, he never cared about those things. Now he was thinking about it, he didn’t even know what purpose his wife served at all!

“Of course there’s no problem, but—” Alexia squeezed her fingers. “Why are you sleeping with me tonight? Did you drink too much?”

“Does it look like I drank too much?” Chaim squinted as Alexia shook her head. “Then why don’t you see what you look like now?”

“Me?”

Alexia paused in surprise and looked down at her half naked body. She gasped and wrapped the blankets around her.

“I, I…” Alexia blushed and couldn’t seem to find her words.

Chaim stared coldly at her and sneered. “Didn’t you just take your clothes off in a flurry? Why cover it now?”

“I thought I was alone!” Alexia said, quickly picking up her underwear and hiding them behind her.

“As the woman of the Lancaster family, even if you are alone, you must pay attention to your image. Otherwise, you will tarnish the reputation of the Lancaster family and yourself!”

“I know.” Alexia lowered head in shame, “I won’t do it again. I’m sorry.”

Chaim snorted coldly and took off his coat as he left the room.

Alexia glanced at his back as the door shut and breathed a sigh of relief before walking to the bathroom.
