Page 24 of The Rancher's Unloved Wife

But...what about him?

Why was it always so easy for her husband tocorrectlyguess everything about her while—-

"Would you like to know what mine is?"

And he was doing it again!

Amusement gleamed in his dark eyes. "Your face gives away everything."

She stared at him darkly. "I wish it didn't."

"That's a pity then," her husband didn't hesitate to parry back, "since I'd rather you stay as you are."

I don't believe you.

"You don't believe me?"

Aaaargh!

Summerine covered her face just tostophim from reading her expression, but this only made her husband chuckle.

"You're surprisingly easy to tease."

Summerine didn't allow herself to be baited, her face still hidden behind her hands.

"If you want to know what my soft spot is, I'll need to see your face, though."

"What for?" Her voice came out muffled, with her hands still acting as a shield.

"Just because."

Ryu pulled her hands down as he spoke, and since she was no match for his strength—-

Oh.

Her gaze collided with his, and her oh-so-stupid heart raced and ached at the same time.

How could Ryu smile at her so gently...even when he had another woman whom he called his darling?

"Care to guess what my soft spot is?" her husband suddenly asked.

"I...can't think of any."

"And if I said it was you?"

Summerine fought against the urge to clutch her chest, which had tightened to the point of pain.

"You don't believe me?"

"Should I?"

"How about I tell you something else?"

Her forehead creased.

"And it's something I've never told anyone before."

Oh my gosh.
