Chapter 6 Something a Husband Is Entitled To

• Cathy looked at Arius and frowned. How did he get hungry so soon?
• Then, she quickly put on a jacket and went downstairs to cook breakfast for Arius.
• As she worked in the kitchen, she pulled up her sleeves, revealing the bruises and scratches on her arms.
• Arius was seated at the dining table. He frowned when he noticed the injuries on her arm.
• Soon, Cathy served two identical plates of breakfast on the dining table. Arius kept staring at Cathy with big and adorable eyes.
• His eyes were bright as crystals. He had well-formed facial features and soft cheeks.
• He looked so adorable when he looked at her with such a serious expression. Cathy felt her heart melt from his cuteness.
• She bent down and said gently, "Arius, what's wrong?"
• Arius pointed his finger to her arm. "You're hurt."
• He quickly jumped off his chair and went to get the first aid box from the shelf.
• "It's okay."
• Cathy took the first aid box from him. "I'll do it myself."
• Hearing her, Arius finally returned to his seat. He watched her quietly as he ate breakfast.
• Cathy opened the first aid box.
• If Arius had not mention anything, she wouldn't have noticed the amount of bruises on her body.
• She applied ointment to the bruises and quietly cursed the man in her mind.
• She quickly applied ointment on her arms before showing them to Arius and said, "I'm done!"
• "Your legs too."
• Cathy was surprised.
• How did he know I have bruises on my legs?
• Suddenly, Cathy's phone rang.
• "Cathy, now that you are done with your wedding, can you come to the studio?" Quinn sounded worried.
• "We have a lot of scenes to shoot today. The studio manager said that an actress wanted to see you…"
• Cathy pinched between her eyebrows and answered, "I'll go there immediately."
• When Cathy was dating Xavier, she wanted to see him every day without raising suspicion. Therefore, she listened to Xavier's suggestion and became a stunt double.
• Among stunt doubles, martial arts stunt doubles earned the most. Therefore, Cathy quickly decided to become a martial arts stunt double.
• As she was the only female stunt double in the studio, she received a lot of work.
• "I have to go to work now!"
• Cathy went to the doorway and searched for her shoes.
• "You can't go!'
• Arius jumped down from his chair and rushed to the door. He extended his arms to block her way.
• "You are injured. Therefore, you have to rest."
• His childish voice carried authority and concern.
• Cathy's heart softened at his concern. She kneeled down and patted his head lovingly. "I am alright. These injuries don't bother me."
• She was a martial arts stunt double. These bruises are nothing to her.
• "No!"
• Arius gritted his teeth and continued to block Cathy's way. "Five minutes."
• "You can only leave after five minutes."
• "Sure."
• Cathy could afford to wait for five minutes.
• Arius breathed a sigh of relief and tapped Abner's contact on his phone to send a message.
• Soon, Abner, who was wearing the same style of light yellow pajamas as Arius, went into the study.
• "Daddy, I need your help with something!"
• …
• Time passed slowly.
• Cathy put on her shoes and smiled at Arius. "We agreed to wait for five minutes. Four minutes have passed."
• "Once the time is up, you must not stop me from going to work."
• Arius nodded solemnly. "Yes, I won't."
• When there were only thirty seconds left, Cathy's phone rang.
• "Cathy, you don't have to come to work anymore."
• Quinn said excitedly, "The studio is having a holiday today!"
• Cathy was stunned for a moment. "A holiday?"
• "Yes."
• Quinn explained enviously, "I heard it is because an important man didn't want his wife to have to work today. Therefore, he ordered the whole studio to shut down for a day."
• "It's amazing how the rich can afford to be impulsive!"
• Cathy gripped her phone blankly.
• The studio was always busy. From the day she started working there, she had never had a holiday.
• Now, it suddenly shut down for an important man's wife.
• That's really impulsive.
• Cathy had no choice but to put down the phone.
• She could almost feel money slipping away from her grasp.
• On the other hand, Arius seemed elated.
• After a moment, he coughed solemnly and said, "You should eat some breakfast."
• "Sure."
• Since Cathy could not go to work, she had no choice but to have breakfast as Arius said.
• However, Arius did not return to the dining table.
• He put his hands in his pocket and walked toward the stairs suavely. "I have to deal with something."
• Then, he turned around and went upstairs.
• After taking a few steps, he suddenly glanced at the food on the table and said, "You should finish it."
• Cathy was amused by his words. "You asked me to make two portions of breakfast, but you only finished one."
• Arius paused for a moment.
• After thinking for a moment, he answered, "I'll come down to finish it soon."
• After that, Arius continued to walk upstairs.
• Soon, Abner ran down the stairs, sporting the hair that Arius had ruffled. "I'm here to eat my breakfast!"
• He rushed to the dining table and took a seat. Then, he ate the food and said, "It's delicious!"
• Cathy was stunned.
• Why did he change into another person after a trip upstairs?
• …
• Meanwhile, in a study upstairs.
• A dignified and stern man worked at his desk.
• Suddenly, Arius opened the door and came in. He climbed up the chair and got onto the desk.
• Then, he sat on the desk and pushed his phone to Adrian. "Mr. Bolton."
• The man stopped typing on his keyboard and picked up the phone.
• The screen showed a woman with bruises and scratches on her arm.
• In the next photo, it showed bruises all over her legs.
• Arius crossed his arms and said angrily, "I demand an explanation."
• Adrian put down the phone, crossed his arms, and leaned back against his chair. Then, he said sternly, "You wanted me to marry her. I don't have to explain to you what I am entitled to do as a husband."
• "She is under my protection."
• Arius looked like a miniature version of Adrian. He met Adrian's gaze fearlessly. His voice was childish, but unwavering. "You hurt my person. How dare you not explain?"
• The father and son sat with the same dominant posture. Both of them continued to glare at each other and refused to back down.
• "Sir…"
• Suddenly, the butler came in. "The studio's purchasing agreement has been…"
• The butler stopped speaking when he saw two pairs of furious eyes glaring in his direction.
• Then, a masculine and a childish voice spoke at the same time.
• "Get out."
• "Get out."
• The butler was rendered speechless.
• He looked at Adrian and Arius timidly and asked softly, "What is it this time?"
• "He hurt someone under my protection."
• Arius gritted his teeth and shouted.
• The butler was stunned for a moment before realizing what Arius was saying. Is he talking about madam?
• "Arius, you misunderstood."
• The butler was at his wits end. "It wasn't your father who caused madam's injury."
