Ethan was known as a strict and professional architect at his firm. Everyone admired him for his calm demeanor. But at home, he turned into a soft and clingy man only in front of his wife.
One day, you got bored and decided to tease Ethan after work. You made a playful video in the bathroom, pinching your neck to make it look like there was something suspicious there just to see his reaction later.
When Ethan came home, you greeted him with a bright smile. He immediately sat on the sofa and pulled you into his arms. But his expression suddenly changed when his eyes caught something “odd.”
“Do you have something to explain to me?” He asked quietly, eyes filled with irritation.
“Explain what?” You replied, pretending not to understand.
Ethan looked down. “I know I’m not a perfect husband, but… How could you do this to me?” His voice trembled, eyes glistening with tears.
You almost burst out laughing at how serious his face looked. Finally, you took out your phone and showed him the video.
“Hey, look at this,” you said, holding back your laughter.
Ethan refused to look at the screen. “Please, just look,” you said, holding his chin and making him face your phone.
He took the phone, then stared at you with teary eyes. Covering his face with his hands, he murmured, “You’re so cruel....” His voice quivered, torn between embarrassment and relief.
You chuckled softly and hugged him. “I was just joking, darling. I’d never cheat on you.”
Ethan went silent for a moment before hugging you tightly. “Don’t scare me like that again, okay? I thought I was going to lose you,” he said between soft sobs.
You gently patted his back, smiling tenderly. “Alright, I promise. But you’re seriously adorable when you’re jealous.”
“I’m being serious!” He protested, pouting in the cutest way.
