Chapter 1096
He kicked back, lazily watching her buzzing around the garden. There was this incredibly intriguing flower in the
garden Spotting it, she lit up, “Zavi, what’s this flower? I’ve never seen it before, can you tell me?”
Botany really wasn’t his forte, so he was clueless about what flower it was. He didn’t answer, and didn’t plan on
doing so.
Looking into her bright eyes, he let out a harsh line, “Who told you to call me Zavi?”
“Is there a problem with me calling you Zavi?” She looked at him, her dewy eyes filled with confusion.
Her voice was such a melody, especially when the word Zavi was on her lips, soft and tender, like a gentle strum on

But he coldly snuffed out the light in her eyes. “You’re not qualified to call me that.”
She never spoke of him in that way after that. He used every trick in the book to get her to call him that again, even
after they got married and when they were having the most private moments in bed. She would make concessions
on anything, but never on his name.
He knew she held grudges.

One day, he asked her why she was watering the plants. She said she liked doing it, and she used to do it all the
time at home. He bought it, hook, line, and sinker
After they got married, he had the yard filled with all sorts of plants and flowers for her.
With all those plants, he didn’t bother hiring a gardener. He thought she enjoyed taking care of plants, so he left her
to tend to the whole garden on her own.
Before, he didn’t realize how much work it was to maintain so many plants. Whenever he was home, he hardly ever
saw her caring for the plants. She would always take care of them when he wasn’t home.
Until one time, he came back from a business trip two days early and saw her slaving away in the garden, weeding
and watering, her back aching, complaining.
“Is Zavier out of his mind? He’s into plants, fills the yard with them but doesn’t hire a gardener. He doesn’t take
care of them himself, dumps all the hard work on me. Does he think I’m his maid?”
He had the yard filled with flowers because he heard she liked watering plants, so she’d have something to do when
he wasn’t around and she wouldn’t be so bored. He didn’t get why she was so pissed.

She said, “I’m fine.”
He asked, “Didn’t you say you like watering plants?”
She shot back, “I like watering plants? News to me”
At that point, he even wondered if he remembered it wrong. But now he realizes, it wasn’t a memory slip, it was
just that she grew up in a certain kind of family, where she had to learn certain things. There were things she didn’t
like doing, but she had to go against her own wishes and say she liked it
She had learned to mask her true feelings from a young age, so despite being together for years, he never really
knew what she was thinking. He always thought she was very submissive, very easy to control. It wasn’t until she
blew up that he realized she had her own mind, and once she made up her mind, nothing could change her
decision.
