Chapter 237
Yannis said, “If you couldn’t get it undone, why didn’t you ask me for help?” Zinnia sat at her dressing table, pouting a little, while Yannis stood behind her, carefully untangling the strands of hair wrapped around her head.
“I didn’t think it’d be so hard to take out,” Zinnia pouted. “It’s my first time trying this hairstyle”
“Next time you need anything, just come find me right away. We can’t have you feeling unhappy,” Yannis said, his voice playful but gentle. He looked at Zinnia nibbling a strawberry.
She mumbled through a mouthful of strawberry, her cheeks puffed out. “Want some?” she asked, holding up a white strawberry and offering it to Yannis without turning around.
Yannis chuckled, “Hold it up a little higher, Zinnia. I can’t reach it from here.”
Zinnia looked into the mirror. Yannis was so tall that his head didn’t even show in the reflection. All she saw was his slim waist in a tailored black suit, cinched by a dark belt that showed off his nice shape.
Zinnia moistened her lips, thinking, ‘I want to touch his waist. Turning her head, she held out the strawberry for him.
Yannis murmured, bending down to take the strawberry with his teeth as his eyes looked at hers.
With her makeup gone, her delicate face was clear, soft, and full of youthfulness. Her lips were rosy pink, shiny with strawberry juice.
Lately, whenever Zinnia wanted something from him, she would butter him up first. He wondered what she wanted this time. Sure enough, the next second, she asked, “Can I touch your waist?”
Zinnia bit her lips, looking at him with bold, honest eyes. She thought, ‘His waist looks so perfect. I wonder how it feels to touch. Probably amazing.
Last time she hugged him, she didn’t even get to feel his waist. With this sudden question, Yannis was left speechless. She really had a way of catching him off guard with her blunt words.
His eyes looked at Zinnia. Her clear eyes were full of hope, her gaze eager but innocent. She was really asking if she could touch his waist, with no hidden
motives.
“Why?” Yannis asked lazily, not saying no outright. He really wanted to know.
Zinnia said, “Because your waist looks so touchable and beautiful
“What if I say no?” Yannis asked, with a funny glint in his eyes.
“Then I won’t,” Zinnia said with a shrug. “It was just a quick idea anyway.”
His waist looked so good that she couldn’t help but ask if she could touch it. If he didn’t want her to, she wouldn’t push it.
“Go ahead,” Yannis said, raising an amused eyebrow at her quick give–up.
He thought, ‘Honestly, she gives up so easily. She doesn’t even try to act cute or to wheedle a little, no persistence at all. Lucky for her she met me; with anyone else, she’d never get anything done.‘
“You agreed!” Zinnia beamed, her eyes lighting up for a moment.
“When have I ever refused you, Zinnia?” Yannis said with a gentle smile.
Zinnia paused, realizing that. ‘He’s never said no to my request before,‘ she thought.
Yannis hardly ever refused her anything. She was very curious about everything. The more one told her she couldn’t do something, the more she wanted to try. One mistake, and she could easily go down the wrong path.

Chapter 237
Within safe limits, Yannis would let her do whatever she wanted to keep her happy. Once she experienced something, the excitement would fade, and that way, he could keep her safe..
Yannis thought, ‘Real protection isn’t about hiding someone from danger. It’s about helping them see the risks themselves!
