Mavis clenched her palms, and her already not-so-good mood worsened.
She endured again and again but couldn't help but burst out, "Anthony, do | look bad in your eyes? No matter what | do, you like to attackand hurtlike I'm nothing. If you really think I'm not worthy of your identity, then why did you marryin the first place? You should find a rich woman like Nevaeh." Anthony stared at her inexplicably, "Are you out of your mind today? You're not happy at work, then why are you mad at me?" After thinking about it, he reacted again, "You just called my name?" He reached out and pinched Mavis’ cheek with a punitive force.
It hurt a bit.
Mavis got even more angry and clapped his hand away.
Her red eyes were moist, looking very aggrieved.
"Anthony, you just rely onwho like you and bullyunscrupulously. Yes, | like you now, and | will endure it. If | no longer like you in the future, | will never let you bully me." Anthony frowned and looked at her terribly wronged eyes, feeling puzzled.
The two stared at each other for a while before he asked, "What's wrong? With such a sharp tone, why did you regard a joke as bullying you?" The more she heard, the more she felt aggrieved, and more she felt jealous. Mavis pointed to her face, "You pinch my face, and my face is red. Do you still say that you are not bullying me?" They were married. Even if she was a nominal wife, then he should avoid suspicion with other women.
No wonder he had been in the company every day for the past two days. It turned out to be to visit his lover in the company and to pick her up at Callahan Residence by the way? Feeling suffocated, Mavis bit her lip tightly and lowered her head, recalling the scene she just saw outside the car by herself.
Anthony didn't know what she was thinking, and his eyes focused on her cheek, which was indeed flushed.
A thin layer of red, coupled with her angry expression, made her actually a little cute.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe raised his eyebrows and teased badly, "There is no mirror in the car. How do you know that your face is red from the pinch? Why didn't it turn red with anger?” "Because you pinched me." She complained angrily, turned her face away, and quickly wiped her eyes.
Anthony noticed her movement and was startled, "Crying?" "No!" "You choke with sobs but you say you don't cry?" Feeling a little guilty, Anthony slowly turned sideways and got closer to her, "Then let you pinch me?" Mavis looked back at him, slightly wanting to do it.
It had never been her character not to fight back or scold.
"If I do pinch, will you take revenge on me?" "Won't." Normally, women didn't exert much force, and if he was pinched and revenged, what kind of man would he be? When he was thinking, Mavis had gathered up her courage to pinch his face, and her fingertips twisted hard.
"Hiss..." Anthony frowned deeply. His facial features distorted, and his anger rose instantly.
Her hand's strength was really not small. With this pinch, his face was numb. Was it necessary to be so cruel? "Why you pinch so hard?" The man's tone was low. Obviously it was a sign of anger.
Mavis stopped decisively, and saw the dark red pinch mark on his face that was swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she felt a lot more comfortable.
"Didn't you askto pinch? Do you want to limit how much force | can use? And... | didn't use too much force. You just said that you won't revenge." Indeed, he promised first.
Even though his face was hurting for a while, Anthony endured the feeling of wanting to take revenge, and asked angrily, "Can you tellnow why you are in a bad mood? Who messed with you in the company?" Mavis shook her head, not intending to be the villain who complained, let alone bother him with this kind of thing.
"No one in the company messes with me, and I'm not in a bad mood either." "You're lying." Saying gloomily, Anthony started the engine of the luxury car and drove the car out of the underground garage.
Mavis didn't explain.
The two sat in the car and neither of them spoke.
Inside the car was silent.
Mavis kept her face sideways, looking out the car window at the receding street scene.
The picture she just saw in the garage from a distance lingered in her mind.
Her mind was tangled for a while.
She seemed...a bit out of line.
It was obviously a one-year marriage contract, but she greedily wanted more and got angry because he was very close to another woman...
Enduring again and again, she finally asked, "Which woman were you talking to in the garage just now?" "What woman?" Anthony almost forgot about that trivial episode, but when Mavis mentioned it, he recalled it seriously.
"It seems to be from your department.” Logistics department? Mavis thought about every face of colleagues in her department.
"Who?" "I do not remember.” Just now Anthony didn't listen to the woman's words seriously at all. Who knew what the woman's nwas? Mavis observed his expression and saw that he answered naturally and casually, without any trace of concealment. Suddenly she had a sigh of relief.
Maybe it was just a coincidence, just to say hello. She thought too much and blamed him? She was introspecting, and Anthony went on abruptly, "She made an excuse that her car couldn't be started and wantedto give her a ride. She's a stupid woman with a scheming but not smart, but you are stupider than her." Why he said so? Originally, Mavis thought she was wrong, but after hearing his words, she felt that she was right, "What does this have to do with me? Are you going to mentionand discountevery tyou say something?" Anthony raised his lips in disapproval and sneered, "Just tell the truth." Mavis moved her legs to the door's direction in frustration, away from him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnthony, who was driving leisurely, suddenly looked serious, as if he realized something.
"You have been in a bad mood as soon as you got in the car. Could it be because of this? Are you jealous?" "No." Mavis said awkwardly, "I know my position. It's just your contracted wife who has hidden marriage for a year. | shouldn't be jealous , so as not to cause you unnecessary trouble.” "It's great you know that." He answered very naturally, without thinking too much at all, just what he thought in his heart.
Mavis lowered her eyes sadly and stopped talking.
The two were silent again, and the car returned to a cold atmosphere for a while.
It wasn't until Anthony's phone rang that the apparent peace was broken.
He looked at the phone note displayed on the car.
It was Rara.
His expression turned serious in an instant, and Anthony cleared his throat before pressing the headset Bluetooth to answer the call.
Mavis also noticed the note.
Rebecca said before that Anthony had an unforgettable childhood sweetheart, and their relationship was very unusual.
She seemed unintentional, quietly pricked her ears to hear what they would say.
The moment the call was connected, Anthony's voice was soft, "What's going on, Rara?" But the one who said on the phone wasn't Lyra.
