My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 718 Rules for Doting on Wife

Although he was a duke and he received the most honorable greeting anywhere and anytime and it never happened that he stood while others were seated. But...

Ernest was his future brother-in-law.

He had to respect and please Ernest.

After Ernest and Hector appeared, the audience were so excited and curious that they paid full attention to them.

When they found Hector who was always in a leading position stood beside Ernest without any unhappiness, they were more curious.

There must be a wonderful play today.

They wondered how Ernest would test Duke Hector.

They waited in excitement and anxiety. However, after quite a few minutes, Ernest did nothing. Nor did he say anything.

He just sat there elegantly and drank tea slowly.

His look was indifferent. He ignored everything around him as if he saw nothing.

Hector stood still. Soon his feet were tired.

He was confused why the test hadn't started yet.

He hesitated and then said politely to Ernest,

"Bro, I'm ready for the test."

He said confidently.

"Florence, you're so lucky. You'll be the luckiest woman in the nation after marrying Duke Hector."

Seated opposite the table, Bonnie said so and stared at Florene, full of envy.

Florence cracked the melon seeds and a playful smile appeared on the corners of her lips.

Idiot Hector. You would soon know how you died.

Long after Hector finished his words, Ernest slowly put down the teacup and glanced at him as a reward.

He opened his thin lips a little, saying,

"Tell us your understanding of the relationship between the husband and the wife."

His understanding?

This question was within Hector's expectation. He had carefully prepared for it.

He smiled proudly, and said loudly,

"If a couple wanna achieve a high happiness index in their marriage, they'd better respect each other, love each other and care for each other. Caring for each other means the husband needs to treat his wife as his family, and never betray her. Loving each other also matters. The husband should devote himself only to his wife. The husband should adore, love her and make her the happiest in the world." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

He answered the question loudly in the yard and it was the only voice in the yard.

The crowds who gathered to watch the fun stared at him. They were astonished and couldn't believe it was Hector who said these words.

Men should love, respect and care for their wives?

They had never even heard of it in Raflad, okay?

He was insane. He must be insane.

"If Duke Hector really thinks so, I think he is more handsome than before."

"I feel the same way…"

Among the crowds, some women whispered.

In the past 3 days, Hector gave high payment to collect information about equality between men and women. Quite a lot of women participated in the investigation and they were influenced. Even some women who didn't participate in the investigation, they paid much attention to it as well.

Their inherent thinking was shocked, but they still thought it was unbelievable. So it hadn't totally shaken their traditional idea.

But now Hector said so in public, which seemed to spread seeds into their hearts.

It was ridiculous, but these women admired the world he described.

All women admired Florence's good luck.

Upstairs, Florence spat the shell of a melon seed, despising him, "He's a good reciter."

He could answer the question in such a logic way. He copied these sentences from somewhere definitely.

Ernest didn't reply to Hector's answer. He kept cool and indifferent.

After the audience finished their heated discussion, he opened his mouth slowly,

"Give us more details."

Hearing so, the audience stunned.

Duke's answer was so creative and shocking, but Ernest wanted details. What details?

Hector pursed his lips, and said seriously,

"Doting on wife is not a theory. We need to practice it as it's related to our daily life. As for details, I have surveyed a lot and think it's good to practice it."

"For example, when the wife is on her period, the husband needs to take good care of her, feeding her boiled water as well as brown sugar syrup to keep warm. When she feels painful, the husband needs to be with her 24 hours. As long as she calls, the husband should appear. The husband should never leave her alone."

The audience were totally shocked. They opened their mouths widely and couldn't close them for a long while.

Men should care for women's period?

Was he kidding? It was so dirty…

"Further, the husband shouldn't treat the wife as a servant, like asking her to cook, do the laundry or housechores and raise children. Instead, the husband should share the responsibility. If he's too busy and has no time, he should spare some time to help his wife share as much housework as possible."

The audience, "…"

Duke, were you sure you could do housework?

"Moreover, if the couple have disagreement and when the wife insists her opinion, the husband has to listen to her. Only when the wife is happy, the family will be harmonious. If the wife is angry, it must be the husband's fault!"

Hearing these words, Florence was choked by the tea.

What a conclusion!

Wasn't it the popular conclusion on the internet? It must be used by Hector as a doctrine.

The idiot…

He insisted to be a househusband.

The audience was totally speechless. If the equality between men and women shocked them at first, then the details given by Hector just now directly knocked their views into pieces.

It was okay to treat women equally, but why should they treat women like treasures?

If so, what was the difference between men and women?!

The views of all the men in the yard were smashed completely. They thought what they were watching was not the fun but the horror movie.

On the other side, women were astonished as well, but soon their hearts beat crazily fast.

The life described by Hector was women's heaven.

If they could lead a life like this…

It was worth dying!

"I wanna marry Duke."

"Me as well. I wanna be the woman being loved and respected."

"Me too, me too…"

Women couldn't help discussing in a whisper with envy.

The emotion soon infected one woman after another till all the women in the yard.

They fixed their eyes on Hector with shiny eyes.
