Zethan's lips curled into a smile as he spoke softly, "It seems my wife prefers this place more than the land of the living."
Lilia laughed softly and replied, "I prefer this place because you're here with me. I'd want to go back to the land of the living only if you're with me. That's all that matters."
Zethan's lips stretched into a wide smile, his perfect teeth coming into view—so dazzling that a passing lady who glanced at him lost her footing.
"Oh, little loris, speaking so flirtily to her husband…" he leaned in and whispered,
"Hmm, that's new."
Lilia quietly pursed her lips, giving Zethan a playful, pointed look. He merely shrugged. Just then, the waiter arrived and placed their order on the table. He spoke softly, "Thank you for ordering."
Lilia smiled politely. "Thank you very much for bringing the food."
The man gave a respectful nod and hurried away, sensing the tension in the air.
Zethan's expression remained far from pleased.
