Chapter 266 Call Him 'Honey' From Now On
Isaac's eyes lit up.
'Why'd I look down?'
'Of course I did it on purpose,' he thought, but didn't dare say it.
Instead, he said, "I saw a bug on the ground and wanted a closer look. Didn't expect you to turn around so fast."
Nora looked doubtful.
Isaac sighed. "My bad. I'll be more careful next time."
Nora shot him an angry glare but kept quiet. "I've learned my lesson. Stay away from me, I'll handle it myself!"
"Understood."
Isaac grabbed a bow and arrow, grinning at Nora. "Wanna have a little competition?"
Nora sighed, "I just learned, and you taught me. Compete with you? Do I look stupid?"
Isaac raised an eyebrow, "I can do it blindfolded."
Nora hesitated.
Isaac added, "Blindfolded, and I'll spin three times."
Nora asked, "What's the prize if I win?"
Isaac smirked, "What do you want?"
Nora's eyes darted around.
Isaac said, "Anything except leaving me."
Nora hadn't thought such a small competition could lead to such a big request.
She had sworn on Magnus and Soren that if Isaac let her go, she'd have to think twice. If she really left and something happened to Magnus and Soren, she'd wonder if it was because of her oath.
After a moment, she said, "If I win, when Magnus and Soren go to school, can you pretend to be their dad..."
Nora's voice trailed off, feeling her request was too much.
Isaac didn't know they were his kids, and asking him to be their dad was a lot.
But Magnus and Soren were about to start kindergarten. Edmund had mentioned they needed to consider this soon, or their education would suffer.
If the kindergarten found out Magnus and Soren didn't have a dad, she feared they'd be ostracized.
Sure enough, Isaac's expression changed as soon as she made the request.
"If you don't want to, forget it. My request is a bit much," Nora added.
"I can agree, but my request if I win will be a bit much for you," Isaac said softly.
Nora looked at him, surprised.
She quickly asked, "What do you want?"
As long as Isaac agreed to her tough request, she'd agree to his as long as it didn't cross any lines!
Isaac lazily smiled, "If I win, you have to call me 'honey' from now on."
Nora's eyes widened, and her cheeks turned red. "You can't be serious!"
In the three years they were married, she had never called him 'honey'.
Only when they were dating, he'd tease her in bed, making her call him 'honey'. She'd reluctantly comply under his pressure.
Now, just hearing it made her recall those times, her face growing hotter, wishing she could disappear.
Isaac grinned, "Why not? I'm agreeing to be the dad of someone else's kids. My request isn't as big as yours, right?"
Nora clenched her teeth, "Fine, I agree!"
Isaac raised an eyebrow. "You go first."
Nora picked up the bow and arrow, aiming seriously. Her palms were sweating from nerves. She released the arrow.
It hit the fifth ring.
Without Isaac's help, her skills were definitely lacking.
'But Isaac's gonna be blindfolded and spin three times, he might not do any better.' Thinking this, Nora felt a bit more confident.
"Your turn," she said.
Isaac asked the staff for a blindfold. After covering his eyes, he started spinning in place.
After three spins, he drew the bow and shot the arrow.
Bullseye!
"How did you do that?" Nora asked, totally shocked.
Isaac took off the blindfold, glanced at the target, and looked very pleased.
"Your honey is impressive, right?" he smirked at Nora.
Nora's face heated up, and she snapped, "Stop saying that!"
Isaac said, "We made a bet. Did you forget already?"
Nora stayed silent.
Isaac walked up to her, his deep eyes twinkling. "Call me 'honey.'"
Nora bit her lip, her face full of embarrassment, but she couldn't get the words out.
Isaac said, "A bet is a bet. You need to set a good example for the kids."
Nora took a deep breath and reluctantly said, "honey." She tried, but it was so low even she could barely hear it.
"I didn't hear it," Isaac said, leaning in closer.
As he got closer, his handsome face was right in front of her, and her heart started racing uncontrollably.
Nora's face turned even redder, and she raised her voice a bit. "honey."
This time, though still quiet, it was audible.
Hearing her soft voice, Isaac's eyes darkened, his voice becoming huskier. "You made me thirsty."
Hearing the desire in his voice, Nora's face grew even hotter. She glared at him angrily. "Pervert!"
Isaac chuckled softly, not denying it.
Just hearing her call him 'honey' almost made him lose control.
"Can we compete again?" Nora asked softly. She still wanted to fight for Magnus and Soren.
Isaac smirked, "Do you think you can beat me if we compete again?"
Nora had no response. She hesitated for a moment and then said softly, "How about you spin twenty times?"
Was this request too much?
After twenty spins, he wouldn't even be able to stand, let alone shoot an arrow.
But she really wanted to win.
Isaac didn't say anything.
Nora grabbed his sleeve, gently shaking it, and said softly, "honey, please~"
She knew Isaac couldn't resist her acting cute.
He would definitely agree.
Sure enough.
After giving her a deep look, Isaac nodded. "As you wish." His voice was even huskier.
Nora kept her head down, not daring to look into his eyes.
The desire in his eyes was too obvious, and it scared her.
Isaac smirked and asked, "Since it's a new competition, can I make a new request?"
