The innkeeper's wife beside them was indeed so furious her face turned green. How could this man talk like that? Nobody's perfect. Can't believe someone that good-looking would have such a foul mouth! She took several deep breaths, telling herself not to get angry and to focus on the big picture. At least now he'd spoken to her, so he must be under the curse. From now on, he'd be her devoted slave, completely under her control. In the future, she'd make him use that foul mouth of his to lick her feet every day. Over here, the innkeeper's wife was already lost in vengeful fantasies, smiling from ear to ear. Over there, Cassian frowned. Why was this woman still in the way and posing seductively? So he reached out and shoved her aside. Caught off guard and unprepared, the innkeeper's wife was instantly pushed to the ground, screaming in pain. Cassian acted as if he heard nothing and stepped right over her. And happened to step on her hand. The innkeeper's wife was about to lose her mind. Whether from pain or anger, tears streamed down her face. The innkeeper, who'd been quietly waiting for his wife to activate the heart-binding cursebug, finally couldn't hold back and ran over angrily. "What do you think you're doing?! I..." Before he could finish, Natalie suddenly exploded and cut him off.She shouted at Cassian furiously, "I'm mad at you! You're my boyfriend! How could you suddenly hit on the innkeeper's wife!" Huh? Both the innkeeper and his wife froze. What did that mean? Natalie glanced at them, pouted dramatically, grabbed Cassian, and shrieked in an exaggerated high-pitched voice. "Cass! You promised you'd only hit me! How could you push her instead?" Cassian paused for only a second before catching on to Natalie's rhythm and playing along. "I'll hit whoever I want. Stop getting jealous over nothing." As he spoke, he ground his foot hard into the innkeeper's wife's hand again. "Ow, ow, ow! That hurts!" The poor innkeeper's wife cried out in pain while staring dumbfounded at the two people before her. What the hell? What were they playing at now? The innkeeper beside her was also confused. He had complete confidence in his wife's heart-binding cursebug. This handsome guy was definitely under its spell, no doubt. But he couldn't understand this behavior at all. From what the girl was saying, this man had violent tendencies, and the more he liked someone, the more he wanted to hit them? At this moment, Natalie sidled up to him and whispered an explanation. "Let me tell you, you better watch out. I think my boyfriend has taken a liking to your wife." The man still found it unbelievable. "How is that possible?"Natalie clicked her tongue. "The more perfect someone looks on the outside, the more flawed they are on the inside. "My boyfriend may look handsome, but he's a bit of a psycho. The more he likes someone, the more he loves to torture them." Though she lowered her voice, the volume was perfectly controlled so everyone present could hear. Confident in her curse's power, the innkeeper's wife lying on the ground was the first to believe this nonsense. Her expression visibly grew darker. What the hell? She'd finally snagged a gorgeous guy, and he turned out to be a freaking psycho? If you like someone, just like them! Why hit people? Cassian didn't care what she was thinking. Receiving Natalie's signal, he immediately pulled the innkeeper's wife up, aimed at her face, and threw a punch. Consider it payback for poor Selina. That punch knocked the innkeeper's wife's face sideways. The innkeeper's wife cried out, "Back! Back off! Stay back!" Her heart-binding curse had bewitched quite a few men. The way those men loved her was to obediently listen and sacrifice themselves for her. Not one of them had ever beaten her up. What kind of ridiculous way to express love was this? She regretted putting the heart-binding cursebug on him. Natalie kept talking nonstop beside her. "I'm really angry now! How could you betray me and hit her? I dare you to hit her one more time!" The innkeeper's wife watched Cassian cracking his knuckles at her and couldn't help cursing Natalie a million times in her heart.Just shut up already! Thanks a lot! The innkeeper, shocked speechless, rushed over amid his wife's screams, trying to stop Cassian from throwing more punches. "Stop! Stop it! Are you guys insane?" Natalie didn't care how frantic he was. She kept up her innocent act and continued making trouble, hurling insults at the innkeeper's wife with her now-swollen face. "What's so special about you that makes him unable to stop hitting you? "Speak up! Did you wink at him? Or did you drug him with some kind of love potion? "Shameless! Despicable! Seducing him into punching and kicking you!" The innkeeper's wife was getting beaten while also getting cursed out. In pain and fury, she was about to pass out. The heartbroken innkeeper kept trying to block Cassian's fists.
