Chapter 36: Bonus chapter 1 — Favourite glasses

"Come on, you gotta help me. Her mood is not good these days." V said to Shell who was busy scanning a pile of papers. As promised, Ella stepped down from the underground business and now V too is trying to clean up all his mess because they don't want anything bad happening to their son.

"So? You're asking me what Ella's ideal type is? Why in the world do you think that I would know that kind of thing?" Shell said with a stern look.

"Because all these years during my comatose you two were really close and you guys may have had that sort of girly chit-chat about the prince charming of your dreams." V said trying to sound reasonable.

"For god's sake, V, you know I'm gay and dating your sister." Shell said, now totally irritated.

"So you are not helping?" V asked, once more.

"No."

"Idk why my sister is even dating you? And anyway I have done my research, she likes gentlemen, you just wait and watch." V said and stomped out of the room.

'If she liked gentlemen why is she even with you?' Shell thought to herself as she watched V slammed the door.

*The Next day...*

"What are you doing in the kitchen so early in the morning?" Ella yawned, rubbing her eyes. 

"Obviously I am cooking." V stated.

"Oh, I see. Wait. You are cooking?! And why are you wearing glasses?" By this time Ella was fully awake due to the shock.

"Yes, I am cooking. And I am wearing glasses because I forgot where I kept my contact lenses." V said with a nervous smile.

"Don't play with me, dude. You have more than 5 pairs of contact lenses, and one of them is right on your nightstand. I just saw it there." Ella stated, making V curse at himself for not hiding it properly. 

"Did I say that you could talk? Just sit there and wait," V said, making Ella zip her mouth and roll her eyes.

"Tada!" V served her freshly made egg and bacon. 

"Ehh...ahh...what is this?" She said pointing at one of the egg covers on her breakfast.

"Just eat it. It's love." V said chomping down his breakfast.

"Okay, at least there has been an improvement since the last time you cooked an egg you made a charcoal out of it." Ella chuckled, remembering the disaster that happened when she taught him to cook for the first time.

"Be quiet and eat it will you?" V said annoyed.

"Okay, okay. I am. don't act like me when I am on my period." Ella said jokingly.

"Whatever." V said before dipping fork and knife at his glass of water and cutting it before sipping it, well at least it looked like that. "Woah, woah, woah, hang on. What are you doing?" Ella demanded, confused at her husband's antics.

"I am drinking water. It's healthy." 

"I can see that but did you just use your fork and knife and pretend like you were cutting it? Cutting the water." Y/N asked in major shock.

"What?! I am a gentleman. So I am using a fork and knife to eat food like a gentleman." V had a proud smile etched on his face and once again Ella questioned her husband's sanity.

"Well, whatever. I am out." Ella stood up from her chair leaving the dining hall. 

*After a while...*

"V!"

"Ethan!"

"Baby!" Ella searched for V all over her home calling him in the process.

"Mr. Miller!" She called once more before fishing out her phone so she could call V.

"I am in the library." V's voice was heard in the hallway before she could even dial.

"What are you doing in the library? You never read." She asked, entering their library room which was still in use all because of Ella and their son Krihyung.

"Of course. I am reading," he scoffed, "like a gentleman." He pressed on the word gentleman.

Ella just stared at him weirdly, raising her eyebrows and folding her arms. 

Maybe V felt the stare on him so he turned at Ella giving her back the questioning look. 

"What?" He decided to break the silence after a long staring contest.

"Well, I did not know that my man was not only a gentleman but also smart, to be able to read a book upside down and closed." Ella had a 'what is going on tone and look.' 

After realising what was going on V's expression was one of the best things to look at. Totally lost, clueless and the cutest.

She walked towards Ethan and took the book from his hands, turned it, opened it and handed it over to him.

"Here, if you really want to read. Read it like this." With that said Ella, went out of the room, just when she reached the door she turned around and said "Btw, that glass suits you. It's cute." With a smile and went away.

"And that is how this glass became my favourite." V narrated his story with pride in his voice.

"But why the hell am I listening to it bro? Why are you saying it to me?" Jake said, sighing still unknown of the answer.
