Stuart blurted out, "How is that possible?"
Josephine lowered her eyes, hiding the sadness in them.
Stuart didn't know why, but he felt a bit panicked.
He looked away, avoiding Josephine's gaze. "You know I have someone else in my heart. Didn't you say you also have someone you like? You should know what it feels like to love someone. I've never felt that way about you."
Even though he was explaining, Stuart still secretly gritted his teeth when he mentioned that Josephine had someone she liked.
He felt he wasn't jealous; it was just that as a man, his pride and dignity couldn't accept that his wife liked someone else.
Josephine simply responded with a nod.
"That's right; we are in a family-arranged marriage. Even if there's no love, we are still a couple. It's only natural for you to meet my needs." Stuart quickly glanced at her again. "So, what gift are you going to buy me?"
Josephine clearly understood that his desire was not for a gift, but for sex.
She sighed inwardly, 'Stuart really is always thinking about sex.'
Josephine thought that Stuart hadn't been so obsessed with their sexual intimacy until this year when she started thinking about divorce.
She had always been a doormat. In reality, she had a cold personality. Even if she liked someone, she wouldn't make it too obvious.
However, her attitude towards someone she genuinely cared about and her attitude after letting go were definitely different.
Stuart's desire for her surged when she began rejecting his needs.
"Have you decided?" Stuart's voice pulled Josephine back from her thoughts.
She shook her head. "Is there nothing you want? I really don't know what to buy."
Stuart asked, "Can I buy anything within your budget?"
Josephine wanted to end this topic quickly. "Yes, anything."
"Then let's go," Stuart said, "Don't back out."
Josephine thought, 'What can you possibly want?'
No matter what he wanted, as long as the price was right, she would buy it.
In the end, she regretted it.
She didn't expect that Stuart had so many ideas!
Stuart drove her to a place, and once inside, Josephine was stunned!
The store was decorated in a low-key yet luxurious manner, exuding a vintage elegance, but the colors were very tasteful and not ostentatious.
Moreover, there wasn't even a sign.
At first, Josephine thought it was a store selling antiques. But once inside, she was amazed and shocked.
It was an adult store selling various intimate apparel and items for couples.
Josephine was in a daze for a long time after entering.
When she realized what was being sold inside, she grabbed Stuart and wanted to leave, but Stuart didn't move.
Josephine gritted her teeth. "What are you doing here?"
Her shy and hesitant demeanor looked very cute in Stuart's eyes.
He said, "Of course, I'm here to buy something."
Josephine said, "Weren't we going to buy a gift?"
"I want this," Stuart said, "You buy it for me."
Josephine was incredulous. "You want to buy this? Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy." Stuart pulled her further inside. "You promised me; you can't back out."
Because of the special nature of the items being sold, there were no salespeople in the store; customers could choose on their own.
The store was large; the items inside were varied and strange.
Josephine had never even heard of them.
It was the first time she realized there was such a large store in the city dedicated to selling these items.
Josephine was also very curious. "Are there things you need here? Can men wear lingerie too?"
She looked curious and confused.
Stuart couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
Between couples, or rather, between men and women, there were many ways to have fun.
Especially some people who loved to play these games.
However, Stuart and Josephine had always been very conventional in bed.
Even so, Stuart was already very satisfied.
But after hearing a few friends at a gathering talk about this store, Stuart got a bit interested.
Of course, he wasn't planning to buy something for himself.
He wanted to buy something for Josephine.
Whether it was clothes or toys, they were all meant for Josephine.
"I won't wear it," He whispered in Josephine's ear, "You will."
Josephine's eyes widened; she shook her head. "I won't! It's supposed to be a gift for you, not for me."
"But the gift I want is this," Stuart said, "You said you'd buy me whatever I wanted."
Josephine gritted her teeth and tried to pull him away again. "Pick something else."
Stuart pulled her back. "No. Dr. Kalmien, you wouldn't want to go back on your word, would you?"
Josephine said, "I'll buy you something else."
Stuart insisted. "I just want this."
Josephine glared at him, and he raised an eyebrow, looking pleased.
Josephine nodded. "Fine, I'll buy it for you, but whether I wear it or not is my decision."
Stuart thought, 'Once I have it, I'll definitely find a way to make her wear it. Every time I left her weak and exhausted. How could she refuse me then?'
Stuart smiled. "Alright. Come on, let's pick carefully and see what you like."
Josephine was truly amazed.
It was just about sex, yet there were so many ways to play.
And those clothes, Josephine could hardly bear to look at them.
However, Stuart was looking at them with great interest, even imagining how stunning Josephine would look in them.
He didn't just look; he also held the clothes up against Josephine to see how they would fit.
Although there was no one around, Josephine felt extremely embarrassed. "You can look, but don't touch!"
"What should I do?" Stuart said, troubled, "I think every piece suits you."
Josephine gritted her teeth. "You can only buy one!"
Stuart looked at her. "One? Aren't you being a bit stingy?"
"I've never heard of buying a bunch of gifts," Josephine said irritably, "One is already good enough!"
"Alright." Stuart didn't argue with her. "Which one do you like the most?"
Although she said she wouldn't wear it, Josephine still felt a sense of crisis.
Who knew what methods Stuart would use to force her to comply.
Just in case, she pointed to the most conservative one. "This one."
However, even the most conservative one looked very revealing.
Stuart picked it up. "Alright."
His voice carried a hint of laughter, and his eyes seemed to sparkle.
Josephine glanced at him and quickly looked away.
She was used to the cold Stuart, but the smiling Stuart, with warmth in his eyes, was the one who truly made her heart flutter.
Stuart grabbed her wrist. "Come on, let's look over there."
Josephine was surprised. "Didn't we already choose?"
"You chose." Stuart smirked. "I haven't chosen yet."
Josephine shouted, "I'm only buying this one!"
Stuart raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry; you won't have to pay for the others."
