A Husband For Killer Mom

Even though he had not yet arrived at the dining room, Richard could already smell a mouth-watering aroma from the food room.

Once at their destination, Richard saw at least seven different kinds of dishes. There was soup, grilled fish, and vegetable salad arranged to fill their dining table.

“What day is it today?” Richard couldn’t help but wonder if today was someone’s birthday, but he recalled nothing.

“What? You don’t remember?”

Why did Richard suddenly feel guilty, as if he had done something wrong? He increasingly could not concentrate on what he had forgotten when he saw his wife’s sullen face.

‘Focus, Richard. What have you forgotten?’ He felt he had planned something important, but Richard forgot about it when he got the news that Raymond and his family would visit London.

What has he forgotten?!

Lori waved her left hand to get Richard’s attention as if she could hear her father’s desperate screams.

.....

Richard turned to his daughter and saw her open her right hand while her left index finger tapped her right ring finger. It was then that he remembered what he had forgotten.

“Ah, right. Today is our anniversary. I haven’t forgotten.”

What a liar! If Lori didn’t remind him, then he wouldn’t remember. Anxia was still sullen and no longer in the mood to give her husband this surprise.

For the past two years, Anxia had tried her best to cook without burning the kitchen down. Even if she managed to control herself not to make a mess of everything in the kitchen, the crop still couldn’t pass for food.

There were burned here and there, and the slices were still irregular.

And for the first time, Anxia managed to create a dish that didn’t burn. Pieces of vegetables and meat were also well shaped, although they were not as perfect as the main family head chef’s cooking. But at the very least, Anxia was making good progress in cookery.

Two years ago, when they returned from Bourton village and moved to London, Richard had prepared a romantic dinner just to put their wedding rings on.

Since then, they have decided that day will be their official anniversary.

But who would have thought Richard even forgot about it?

“You must think I’m lying, ” guessed Richard, who understood his wife’s way of thinking even though Anxia didn’t comment. “I didn’t forget it, but I forgot to bring it down.”

One of Anxia’s eyebrows rose upon hearing this.

“Wait here.”

Anxia and Lori exchanged glances when they saw Richard heading back out to the garage to get something in his car.

“Mom, will you still be angry if it turns out that papa didn’t forget your anniversary?”

“Angry? Who is angry? I was teasing him.” her straightforward answer made Lori chuckle in amusement.

Not having to wait long, Richard came with a beautiful bouquet of red roses and a black box covered in velvet and decorated with a gold ribbon.

“What is this?” Anxia could barely say anything when Richard handed the flower bouquet to her.

At first, Anxia thought she was the one who wanted to make her husband speechless, but for the umpteenth time, Richard was able to give something that could make her heart soar to the sky.

“Happy anniversary,” Richard’s grin grew wider, seeing his wife’s expression of disbelief.

Anxia surprised him by wrapping one hand around his wife’s waist and then pulling her against his body. Then Richard gave a hot and deep kiss making Anxia freeze in place.

While Lori, who was still with them, immediately closed her eyes but left gaps between her fingers because she liked seeing her parents making out like this.

Richard ended the caress when he felt Anxia couldn’t breathe without letting go of his hug or losing her smile.

“Now, you believe me? I will never forget our anniversary.”

“You’re so hateful.”

Even though Anxia was happy with her husband’s outpouring of love, she still felt annoyed because her husband didn’t seem to care about the dishes she had worked so hard to make. However, she decided to stay silent and was more interested in the black box the man was carrying.

Is it another piece of jewelry? Her husband really likes to give her a jewelry collection. Every time a new piece of jewelry came out, the man bought one. And of all the jewelry collections that Richard bought, that man likes a well-known brand called LYMT.

Well, no wonder Richard likes this brand. Not only were the jewelry designs beautiful, but the name alone caught people’s attention.

Loving You Million Times... LYMT.

“What is that? Don’t tell me another LYMT?”

“You don’t like it?”

“Are you kidding? Of course, I like it!” Anxia exclaimed enthusiastically as she hugged her husband, making Richard grin.

Richard gave the box to Anxia, and the two sat on the chairs, followed by Lori.

Anxia tugged at the end of the golden ribbon, and she opened the box, and her eyes lit up when she saw what was inside.

There was a pair of rose gold and platinum bracelets in different sizes. The rose gold one was smaller and had the words ‘RC’s Queen’, while the platinum one was large with ‘QA’s King’ on it. Small diamonds add elegance to the couple’s bracelet on each side of the script.

“Wow, so beautiful.” Lori raised her voice so cheerfully that Anxia smiled widely.

“Richie, you didn’t give me a chance to talk earlier, but I also have a surprise for you.”

Anxia pulled her husband’s hand and then walked to the dining table, where various dishes were available.

At first glance, everything looked perfect, and Richard thought it was the head chef preparing it. But it was only when he noticed Anxia’s expectant gaze and some untidy pieces of carrots and potatoes that he realized something.
