Hadn’t he just returned? What had he even done to offend her? It took him a while, but he eventually replied, “…Are you mad because I haven’t been calling…?”
Gently patting her toner on her cheeks, Tiffany simply said, “As if I’ve ever been mad at you for going on missions.”
…That was true… She had always done the house chores properly, and she was great with the kids as well… She truly was a capable wife, so… Really, why was she so mad? Following another short pause, Ian asked, “…Then… is it because I didn’t return immediately after landing? If so, you should know that I was busy tending to Chace, Zayne, and the kids…”
Smirking in response, Tiffany then tossed a pillow at him before scoffing, “Wrong answer, Mr. Frankston. With that said, either choose to sleep on the floor or couch tonight.”

Unsure how to take all this, he gave her a hug before saying, “…Why don’t you just tell me what I did wrong so that I can properly apologize and coax you, hmm…? We can just skip to the solution phase quickly then…”
Even though she was slightly charmed by his words, she quickly pushed him away as she replied, “…Don’t even think about getting away with this with your charisma. Look, if you don’t realize your mistakes, then it means that you still don’t think that you’ve done anything wrong. What’s more, telling you the answer will make me sound unreasonable, so… Go reflect on yourself, and don’t come close until you get the answer!”
Following that, she lay on the bed, revealing her ample hips to him through her semi-transparent negligee…
Naturally, he was turned on, and the fact that he couldn’t touch her was agonizing. However, he prioritized her feelings, which was what allowed him to eventually look away…
