“What’s the matter, honey?” Seeing that Peace was unusually silent, Karl frowned and asked.

“Nothing. Drink some water.” Peace handed him a glass of sparkling water.

Karl panicked because he knew his wife’s temper well. He carefully leaned down and examined Peace’s face before swallowing hard and saying, “What’s the matter, dear? Did I do something wrong? Please, just tell me!”

“Nothing. Don’t be nervous.”

“Something is definitely going on! | can feel that you’re getting angry. Let me guess… Did it bother you that I didn’t shave? Or did Martin get into another mess?”
