"Are you annoyed, honey? This is just a workplace tactic, a way to manipulate new employees into working hard."
He took my hand and led me to the dining table.
Then he cut a large piece of cake and placed it on my plate.
He gazed into my eyes with his usual deep affection. "Happy birthday, my love. May you always be happy!
"If I've done something wrong today, you can punish me however you want.
"Or maybe I should clear your shopping cart? How about that?" he asked gently.
I was a bit annoyed and, in a fit of pique, handed him my phone. "Go ahead, clear it."
He took my phone, logged in to the shopping application, and found that my shopping cart was empty, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Jaidyn, who taught you that clearing the shopping cart would make your wife happy?" I asked with a light smile.
He was taken aback and looked flustered. "No one taught me. Isn't it popular online? To make a woman happy, you can clear her shopping cart. I'm sorry, Delaney. I've been so shallow. I forgot that you're frugal and have no interest in that kind of thing."
When we first got married, our financial situation wasn't good, so I developed a habit of being thrifty.
