Chapter 526: Chapter 66
Then they had to deal with the private part.
In fact, this part was very simple. Wood and North Wind were registered as husband and wife. What kind of private affairs would there be between a husband and his wife?
There was no need to explain that in detail.
North Wind naturally had no objections to this part. As a spy, even if she was not a woman that could sleep with anyone, at least she did not take sex too seriously. As for Wood, he had been living a bachelor’s life for years in order to avoid divulging his secrets. Not to mention having a wife, he never even dared to get a prostitute because he knew that men were most likely to divulge secrets in a woman’s bed.
Wood was a healthy man, both psychologically and physically. Especially after taking the panacea, he was in a better state than ever before. It was not a problem for him to have sex with a woman seven times a night or something like that.
In that case, it seemed strange that he had insisted on abstinence from sex just like those clergymen; his explanation was that he couldn’t forget his old lover. His heart was filled with a deep-seated true love, so he could not accept another woman or another love.
That was really a wonderful reason, and no one could cheekily force such an honest man to change his mind. Wood didn’t have friends like Favnier and Shoggoth who acted like wild horses, so he remained single all these years.
Then North Wind came.
According to the background setting, North Wind was the woman who had left Wood alone in the empty room for more than ten years. She was the one he had been waiting for.
Thus, after they went to City Hall to register and confirm their relationship and then go back home, what would happen?
All in all, the next day, Wood seemed to be in a good mood, like a little male horse that had been successfully bred for the first time. His whole body shook, showing how happy he was.
He traveled around that day to visit friends he had known over the years one by one and invited them to a party.
“What party?” his friend Reeve Kawat asked.
“My wedding party,” Wood replied.
Reeve opened his eyes wide and stayed still for several seconds before he asked, “If I’m not wrong, you have a lover who has been apart from you for many years…”
“I just met her again. She’s had a hard time these years.” Wood skipped the unimportant part. “But anyway, she’s here with me now and will stay with me forever.”
Reeve opened his eyes wide again.
This time he stayed still longer than last time, and then he jumped up like there was a spring under his feet. He grabbed Wood’s shoulder and said, “You! Good job! It’s been more than ten years! She must have gotten married a long time ago, and maybe she also has children… What magic did you use to make her leave everything behind and come to you? And to stay with you all your life? Wood, you are my brother, so teach me how to do something like that!”
As the head of the mining industry in the Republic of Northwest, Reeve was a Second Governor and one of the high-ranking bureaucrats. With his social status, naturally, he had married and had several children. But Mr. Kawat, who was always serious in the workplace, was very obedient to his strict wife at home. He had to hand in all his pay to her and only asked for some pocket money. In his daily life, if his wife asked him to go east, he dared not go west.
Although Reeve didn’t hate such a life, sometimes he really wanted to slightly improve his family status, but dare he say higher than his children! He wanted to at least be at a higher level than his wife’s cat! He had consulted many people for that, such as Jose who had many wives and concubines—his children were enough to form a small army—and Shoggoth, who had lovers everywhere. Shoggoth had more than 100 of them in a conservative estimate, but the methods of these two were of no use to Reeve.
As for his best friend Clito, he was just slightly less obedient to his wife than Reeve. There was barely any difference between them.
Reeve usually talked with Clito about that. When they complained, they often used Wood as an example. Although they were obedient to their wives, at least they had a wife, and that was much better than Wood, an old bachelor.
They had never expected that Wood would be so good at attracting a woman!
Over ten years later, Wood was still able to make his old lover fall in love with him. And once she found the opportunity, she abandoned her family and children and came to him at any cost. She even wanted to stay with him forever. What wonderful charm Wood had!
