(Distinct Rhythm) 14

Ch. 174 / 308 Apr 01, 2025

I opened my eyes when I felt that my bed was soft.

I slowly rolled my eyes before getting up from lying down.

I almost screamed when I saw Bullet single sofa. He's looking at me intently, I immediately giggled before speaking.

"Hello, my wife! Why are you here?" I asked him as his eyes shone.

He averted his gaze before leaning back as he bit his lower lip. "To keep an eye on you."

My eyes widened as I looked back at the clock. It's 30 minutes late for their interview!

"Omygosh, Bullet! Maybe we're all late! Where are they brother, you? Why are you here! Come on!" nervous and confused I promised him.

"They're doing the shoot already," he replied sparingly.

I immediately frowned at what he said. "What are you doing here? Why don't you come with them when they're already doing the shoot?"

"Are you deaf?" I'm still backing away from what he said, he's really naughty at any time!

You will also soften when you realize that I am the one you can marry.

I sniffed widely before putting on the slippers under the bed. I got off the seat and walked quickly towards him.

Giggling, I approached and forced myself to squeeze next to him. I quickly rubbed his sturdy arm.

"My wife, why did you leave here? Are you feeling anything? Is something hurting you? What what?" I asked him softly as I peered into his face.

I could see that he had slightly missed the arm so I was upset. I could have done nothing but move to the other single sofa.

"Hey, my wife, answer me," I promised.

"Max told me to stay with you, I have no fucking choice," he said coldly.

I immediately frowned at what he said. Brother Max told him?

As far as I know, my older brother will never do that, no matter who else he trusts, he will never leave me to anyone. He himself will take care of me.

I just shrugged my shoulders before turning to the intercom. "Can I order food here, baby?"

He turned to me. "Why? Are you hungry?"

I nodded.

He quickly got up and approached, I followed him there and listened to what he had to say.

"Yeah. Just two orders for that meal, any drink. Fucking make sure there's no freakin 'peanut butter on any meal." I even backed away from his swearing.

He was about to drop the call but I quickly stopped him.

"What?" he asked rudely.

"I'll buy mommy and daddy a greeting, please?" I beg.

He nodded and handed me the phone.

"Hello?" I uttered.

"Yes, ma'am? Can you add anything else?" I immediately smiled.

"Can I ask if you have peanut butter stuffing, that's special? That's my mom and dad's favorite," I answered.

"Excuse me ma'am? Peanut butter? I'll just ask our manager if we have stock," she said.

I toyed with the phone while waiting for him. Some time later I heard the ringing on the other line.

"Hello, ma'am?"

"Yes, I'm here," I said smiling.

"I'm sorry ma'am, peanut butter was banned in the whole Philippines, one hour ago. I found a chemical in its ingredients." My eyes widened.

"Omo! Any brand?" my sad question.

"Yes, ma'am. We can no longer sell or restock any brand of peanut butter, unless he is approved again. I'm sorry, ma'am."

I pouted my lips. "All right, thank you again. I'll just wait for my meal. Thank you!"

Sadly I dropped the call, why is peanut butter banned here? It's still mommy and daddy's favorite.

"I thought you're allergic to peanut butter?" Bullet asked rudely behind me.

"They're mommy and daddy, that's their favorite," I replied sadly.

"What did she tell you?" he asked further.

I turned to the call. "That lady on the other line?"

He immediately nodded his head. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Peanut butter has been banned all over the Philippines so they can no longer accept orders. It's only been an hour since it was banned, so I'm wondering. Why do you think so?" frowned when I asked.

My eyes narrowed when I saw his slight stoop, he's chuckling and I don't even know why.

"Oh, fuck. They're really good and fast with this," he whispered, wondering about me.

"What's that, my wife?" I'm sure.

He just shook his head before pulling my waist away from the call. "Just sit on the sofa, wait for your meal."

I just followed him, I sat on the sofa while waiting for my food. I saw him looking at his phone, he was grinning and I didn't know why.

Excited, I stood up when I heard the intercom. I ran closer but Bullet immediately preceded me. He grabbed my waist and pulled me away from the door.

He opened the door for me. A few minutes later, he closed the door again while carrying a bag. Clapping, I followed him up to the table.

"Can I eat now?" my questioning eyes shone as I looked up at him.

I saw the corner of his lips curved as the food landed in front of me.

I applauded with joy before they shouted.

"Eat well, my wife. You know I love you so much so I don't want you to be hungry, just tell me if you want to eat you, okay?" I said smiling.

He just left me and slumped on the long sofa again. He closed his eyes while leaning on the back of the sofa.

I ignored him and just continued eating. To this day, the ban on peanut butter here in the Philippines still bothers me.
