CHAPTER 24: CHAPTER 24: BECAUSE HE TOOK IT SERIOUSLY!

"Hands that play the piano don’t belong in the kitchen."

Her hands are suited for the elegant piano, not the smoky scent of the kitchen.

There are many sharp objects there, and it’s easy for her soft and fragile hands to get hurt.

His words made Summer Shawcross involuntarily lift her head to look at him, but upon seeing the expression on that handsome face, she paused for a moment, not knowing why her heart suddenly tightened at his gaze...

Was she imagining things? She actually saw gentleness on his otherwise emotionless face...

"Really...? Then... Should a bird that belongs in the blue sky be imprisoned in a luxurious cage?" She turned her head to look at the river not far away, a hint of loss on her face.

In her previous life, she hated him for the misunderstanding that he caused her family’s death. She detested his domineering, ruthless nature, and that dreadful need for control!

Even though she was fortunate to be reborn in this life and understood his feelings for her, this time... she still didn’t want to be a caged bird.

At least not now, she couldn’t stay at home in peace. Because she knew what awaited her and Noah Drexler next.

Her expression of loss fell into his eyes, and he lowered his gaze, staring at the woman in his arms, his brows furrowed.

"Noah Drexler, I will definitely work hard to be a good Mrs. Drexler, fulfilling the responsibilities and duties of a wife! Can you lift my confinement?" Summer pleaded, and after speaking, she blinked her big eyes, full of anticipation as she looked at him.

"..." Noah Drexler said nothing, just stared at her motionlessly, his handsome face inscrutable...

Seeing that he didn’t agree, Summer bit her lip and suddenly leaned into his arms, acting coquettishly.

"Please..." she implored.

Summer’s voice was already very pleasant, fine and melodious, and when slightly pinched, it was the perfect coquettish sound...

And that coquettish voice in Noah Drexler’s ears made his whole body feel inexplicably electrified, tingling... yet very comfortable.

The next moment, his Adam’s apple moved, and he agreed.

"Okay!"

The word "okay" shocked Summer, leaving her dazed, unable to believe it for a moment.

She never knew that acting coy would be so effective!

In her previous life, she was confined by him for three months, and during that time, she smashed things in the house for a month, attempted suicide for a month, and eventually went on a hunger strike, almost starving herself to death before he temporarily lifted her confinement!

If she’d known that acting coy was so effective with Noah Drexler, why did she go through all that trouble before!

At this moment, Summer suddenly felt that her previous life’s suicidal hunger-striking self was nothing but a fool...

Just as she widened her eyes, still caught in her earlier shock, the man’s sharp voice rang out again.

"Summer Shawcross, remember what you said today!" He squinted at her face, saying seriously.

Because he took her seriously!

She just said she wanted to be a qualified wife, to fulfill the duties of a wife!

"Yes, yes, of course! Thank you so much!" Summer quickly nodded, delighted, as she leaned into his arms.
