The Billionaire's Contracted Wife [English]
Chapter 151: Mutual Consent

Chapter 151: Mutual Consent

The couple had pleasure and relished eating. Especially now that they understood each other. Ashley was so excited because she was sure that grandmother Hanada would be glad to hear what they had agreed upon each other.

With her happy thought, she abruptly remembers her family in the Philippines. ’Oh’ no! I forgot that Tanaga promised my family that he would bring me there every month. What should we do? We can not let my family know about us yet. What am I going to do if one day we accidentally blurt it out in the open? Holy cow, I’m afraid he would get beat up by my brothers.’

Ashley was troubled that her older brothers might think that Tanaga exploited her since she’s still innocent. They know she never been in any relationship with a man, unknown to them that it was mutual consent.

After carefully thinking it over, she decided that she would go ahead and inform them that they are in a relationship. She’s sure they would be thrilled for her.

First of all, Tanaga is handsome. Second ... Billionaire. Third ... Billionaire! what is there not to like about Tanaga? ’ Ashley laughed at her thoughts.

"Tan, I have a favor to ask? If it’s okay with you? Is it about my family... - Can I tell them that we’re in a relationship?"Ashley asked as her face worried that Tanaga wouldn’t let her.

" Love, thank you so much for asking my opinion. If you think it’ll work out, my answer is yes! By all means, tell them. Alright! Now, let’s eat, or I might end up eating you instead." Tanaga said jokingly.

Meanwhile, Tanaga thought as he tasted the food, ’now that we are back together ... You better be ready tonight because you will be the appetizer, the main dish, and the dessert too.

Once the air was cleared between the couple, and they finally understood each other. They were both in the mood for a good meal. Ashley was doing her part of looking after Tanaga because she feels it is the responsibility of a good wife.

Since they are not in the office, she’s his wife at the moment. And one of the responsibilities of a loving wife is to look after her husband... She had learned that from her parents, and she always noted what her mother does for her father.

Ashley has noted that her mother does to her father, even mother Fely was tired of the day-to-day selling at the market. When she returned home, she would immediately cook dinner for her family once she gets home.

At the dinner table, whenever their dish was fish, mother fely made sure that Father Jessie would not choke from the fishbone. She would carefully take out every one of the bone from the fish for her dear husband. The couple even argues sometimes because Jessie would complain that he’s not a child and can do it himself.

That’s where Ashley learned a lot from her mother about being a good wife. And she plans on doing the same thing with her husband. No matter what, she will not give him a reason to change his mind.

Ashley is not alone in that thinking about how to be a good wife, so does Tanaga. He also takes good care of his wife while they were eating. He keeps on putting food on Ashley’s plate up to the point that it was overflowing. When Ashley saw how much food was on her plate, she made a face at her husband.

"You ha! What are you trying to tell me? Look at my plate? Do you think I’m a glutton?" Then she took it and moved it before Tanaga. "Since you put it all, eat it!" She then took Tanaga’s plate and began scooping food onto her plate. Only enough to what she could eat.

Tanaga, on the other hand, just kissed Ashley’s cheek. "Love, sorry! Just so excited ... Don’t worry, and I’ll eat it all." Tanaga grabbed the chopstick and began to eat.

Ashley was about to swallow rice and adobo, and it was close to her mouth when she saw how Tanaga was eating. Gradually ... If he intends to consume all the food in front of him, it will be New Year already before they finished eating.

Therefore, what Ashley did next was, "Ahhhh! Open up!" Ashley ordered Tanaga.

"Huh? What do you mean, ahh? What’s that?" Tanaga asks who doesn’t understand what she means?

Ashley just smiled and touched Tanaga’s mouth... "Ahhh! Open up so I could feed you." She said as sweetly as she could. Seeing her smile, Tanaga has no choice but to obeyed and opened his mouth.

"Ahhh!" As extensive as he would like a little child waiting for mommy to feed him. Once, he said, ’ah!’ Ashley swiftly shoves the rice and adobo that she was about to put in her mouth, before kissing him soundly right after.

"If you are eating Filipino food, you must either use a spoon and fork or hand. That’s the only way." Ashley’s eyes were wide and rounded as she spoke. She then gave her husband a spoon and fork before taking the chopstick from his hand.

"There! Now, try to eat with this stuff. You will see, in no time... All this food will disappear!" She pointed to the food right in front of Tanaga.

"Eh!" Was all Tanaga said before he started eating with a spoon and fork. Ashley, too, returned to eating and began enjoying herself.

For some reason, when she saw the menu a while ago, her stomach soured, and she began salivating. So, when the waiter took their order... She almost orders everything on the list.

Pork adobo, sour soup with shrimp, fried fish, bbq on the stick topped with marinade sauce. And for Tanaga, she ordered shanghai lumpia and stirred fried noodles.

But since they had exchanged plate, all of the food that Ashley’s orders for herself, Tanaga end up eating the same.

The two had a good appetite and ate almost all the food. Moreover, the portion was so small, easy to consume it all.

Finally, the two finished eating. Tanaga and Ashley could hardly breathe; they were so full.

"Wow! Filipino food is good too." Tanaga praises the food they eat.

"Did you like it? It’s just the same thing we ate at your house when I first arrived, don’t you remember?" Ashley reminds Tanaga.

"I don’t remember. Anyway, can you cook like this?" Tanaga asked as he rubbed his stomach.

"Hahaha! Of course! If anything, that’s my expertise!" Ashley boasted while her eyes were gleaming with happiness.

’Now that she knows that her husband loves Filipino food, she will cook it every day. He’s no longer safe, and not only would fall deeply in love with her. But also with cooking. Hahaha!’ Ashley thought as she smiled sweetly at Tanaga.

Unfortunately, their date has to be cut short because they have to return to the office. Tanaga called the server to settle their bills. Later he helps Ashley to stand so they could leave.

The couple was still holding hands and having a charming smile for each other as they exited the private room. Ashley forgot that she saw Alden and Koji meeting in a separate room.

It turns out that the two are done and that the private room door opens as they were also leaving the same time as them.

Suddenly Ashley stopped and immediately slipped her hand away from Tanaga. It also caused Tanaga to halt and raised his eyebrows.

Tanaga looked at Ashley to ask why she had dropped his hand so fast. When...

"Wel, well, well! What a small world!" Alden said, luckily, he didn’t notice Ashley’s hastily pulling her hand away from Tanaga.
