Chapter 66 A Five-thousand-word Self-criticism (2/2)
The entire evening slipped away in writing and eventually the dinner time was almost there. When she heard the doorbell, the tremors in her palpitating heart returned with full force. Lucian! Amelia bolted up immediately, with the pen still in her hand. A dreadful expression crossed her face.
'I could only show my good attitude, otherwise my unfinished self-criticism would definitely screw me up!' she thought to herself.
She only hoped that Lucian would be generous toward her.
”Where is the self-criticism?” When Lucian entered the bedroom, his very first question was about the self-criticism.
Amelia quietly extended the self-criticism to Lucian while apologizing with hesitation, ”I'm sorry... I... I couldn't write enough words...”
It was true that she found that writing it was more difficult than writing her graduation thesis. Now she was really scared of Lucian's next action. If he got enraged now, she would be terribly punished.
In the past two months, from what she had seen and understood about him, she could tell what kind of person he was. She better not expect anything generous from him. All she did was waiting for him to say something.
Her handwriting was although neat but few of the words were covered in ink drops. However, it was evident how carefully she had written them.
Lucian although looked cold and expressionless, he accepted the self-criticism. After a short moment he threw his unrelenting stare at her and enunciated, ”You haven't even achieved half of the required words. What were you thinking while showing it to me?”
It was hard to tell whether he was angry or not from his tone, but his cold stare made her heart beat fast. His husky voice alone was enough to frighten her.
Amelia nervously fidgeted with her fingers. And after a silent moment, she cast her eyes down and asked almost in a whisper, ”Do you want me to cook for a month as a punishment?”
Lucian's unwavering gaze cruised Amelia's figure from top to bottom as he drawled, ”Isn't it normal for a wife to cook for her husband? How is that a punishment?”
