How to Tame a Villain Character-Chapter 183: Beautiful Memory

After days of being separated from her husband, Claudia started to get used to living alone since going on this business trip in secret. What she does every day is just visiting cafes, restaurants and libraries. Every afternoon and evening, she goes to the beach.

While walking along the shop, her eyes were fixed on a pen decorated with the figure of a canary bird holding a heart. Her eyes started to fill with tears looking at the pen because she remembered her husband who really liked baby birds. Moreover, recently Harry had been working so hard that he had used up his supply of pens.

Not only in the last few days, in fact, Harry always used up his supply of pens and then complained, which made Claudia start to get bored with the same complaints every day. Every time she worked in Harry’s office, her ears felt hot when she heard her husband always grumbling while working.

"The ink is running out again!" Harry grumbled as he crumpled a piece of paper.

"You use a pen every day at work, it’s sure to run out quickly!" Claudia replied curtly.

"But, I just bought a pen last week. It seems like the pen production factory deliberately filled in a little ink so I would buy more." Harry pursed his lips. "What a cunning businessman’s brain!"

Hearing her husband’s childish babbling made her laugh so hard that her cheeks turned red.

"Claudia, are you laughing at me now?"

"After all, I’m not used to seeing you who usually act like a perfectionist, you can act childish too."

Harry raised his right eyebrow. "Should I give you some punishment?"

Claudia suddenly got up from the chair and walked slowly towards her husband’s table. She sat on her beloved husband’s lap then wrapped her arms around his neck with an intense gaze.

"What punishment do you want to give me?"

"You expect me to punish you?" Harry lifted Claudia’s chin.

"Because I made you angry just now."

Harry’s response was a chuckle as he kissed her briefly on the cheek. "I’m not angry even though you often make fun of me." For a moment, his arms hugged his wife’s body lovingly.

Claudia enjoyed the special hug her husband gave her, making her want to be pampered even more. A happy smile appeared on her beautiful face. "Is this called punishment?"

"Actually, I’m tired of working. Once in a while I want to rest."

"Then why do you always force yourself to work? Don’t you love your body?"

Harry let out a long sigh. "All my life, I dedicated my life to work. Because I didn’t have anyone who loved me. Everyone didn’t care about me being tired. Even though I actually wanted to rest because I was human. Even though I was a Duke, I wanted to live as an ordinary person."

"I am the one who is willing to love you, Harry." Spontaneously, her right thumb touched Harry’s soft cheek. "I don’t like seeing you pushing yourself too hard when actually you need rest and need someone who appreciates you."

"Claudia..."

"If you need rest, I will accompany you too. We can go on holiday for a while. Actually, I want to go to San Marina with you. The sea view there is very beautiful and the people there live peacefully. A very suitable place to clear your mind."

In the end, Harry revealed a curve of sweet lips that painted his handsome face even more charming. His head slowly moved closer to the beautiful lips in front of him.

"You want us to go on holiday there?"

"You like that place?"

"I like looking at the sea. Especially looking at the sea with you." His right hand stroked his wife’s head nimbly. "You’re the only person who took the initiative to take me on vacation when I was tired."

"Actually, I also want to do a survey of the area where the hotel will be built. I’m curious why my late parents wanted to build a hotel in an area that is only accessible to ordinary people and many residents there are against building a hotel."

Harry folded his arms. "So, you’re going to ask me to accompany you on a business trip? Don’t you mean going on holiday?"

"I invite you on holiday. I mean, when we went on holiday there, I was also curious about the living situation there. Maybe I should take various approaches so that the residents there like me."

"What approach do you want to take? You’re going to bribe them?"

Claudia furrowed her brows. "Why are you carelessly accusing me of doing something illegal? Don’t you know me yet?"

Harry burst out laughing as he pinched his wife’s red cheeks. "I love watching you sulk. You’re so adorable."

"But what you just said offended me!" Claudia pursed lips.

Harry took the initiative to tighten his embrace even more while landing his lips on the curve of his wife’s neck. "I’m sorry. I won’t accuse you carelessly again."

"I always forgive you because you are the best husband." Her lips landed on his soft cheek. "I will buy a new pen for you with good quality so the ink doesn’t run out quickly."

"About the pen..."

"I want you to use the pen I gave you so you don’t get angry every day."

Remembering that simple moment, her eyes became even more teary when her eyes were still fixated on the canary’s pen. In the end, she entered the stationery shop and took the canary pen with sparkling eyes. Coincidentally there were two left, so it was perfect for her and her husband. However, on the one hand, she was very confused about whether she should buy this pen for her husband even though she was going to divorce soon?

"You must really like using this pen. I’m sure you won’t get angry every time the ink runs out." Her right hand took several large boxes containing pen ink. "How stupid of me to still care about you in the midst of our divorce. I don’t care if you throw away the gift I gave you, I’ve definitely chosen it especially just for you."

When Claudia walked towards the cashier carrying the two special pens and several boxes containing ink, her footsteps stopped when she heard several shop visitors gossiping about her.

"The Duchess and her family are shameless! It’s so selfish of her to want to seize this territory just to expand their business."

"That’s a businesswoman who only thinks about money, not the welfare of the people! Because she is Duke Harry’s wife, most people don’t dare to ostracize her."
