Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

You would always be the best and we would always win! So do not lose your heart. Because i.. I will love and be with you no matter what!"

"Even if I am not rich anymore? Even if I am not the son of the duke who holds a lot of power!

What if you are the one who is noble and I would have been a commoner, would you have still loved me?"

Letting go of her shoulders, he stared deep into her eyes as the words left his mouth.

The look in his eyes was so intense as if he was trying to peek into her soul but instead of nodding her head and hugging him again, her eyes turned gloomy!

Her expressions turned cold instantly, giving him the shock of his life!

"Leonardo Thawyne! Are you worrying so much because you think that I am with you for your money!?" and here she thought that something terrible had happened!

The man was just questioning the genuinity of her feelings! Such a jerk!

"Of course not! If I would have been the daughter of the duke and you would have been a commoner, then why would I have married you?

I would have married the son of another duke of the crown prince or any other higher noble who would have been richer and handsome!" with a sly grin on her face, she muttered the word with such an exaggeration that even a fool could see that she was just teasing him,

But Leo, who had so much in her mind, was not able to discern that! Her words were the last stab he could handle at that moment, so he instantly let her go! His grip on her waist loosen and he leaned back on the seat covering his eyes with his hands!

A treacherous smile formed on her face when she saw him sulking! He was like a kid whose favourite candy had been taken away!

She was expecting him to holler and tell her that she was his, even if he was a poor man or farmer but that did not happen!

Not a single word came out of his mouth though she knew that he was not sleeping! The dark aura that his body was releasing was too much for her to bear but at the same time, it was proof that he was wide awake and gloomy due to her words!

Had she overdone it!? A look of guilt passed her eyes! What a fool she was! Though she knew that he was tense! She still dared to tease him!

She had thought that her words would take her attention and he would feel better after having a bicker with her but it didn't happen!

If there was a way, she could go back in time and sew her mouth before uttering that nonsense!

After thinking for a minute, a great idea formed in her mind. There was nothing she could not handle!

She knew how to coax this big kid who got angry over anything.

With that thought, she leaned in and pecked her lips. She was sure that he would hold her again and try to deepen the kiss as he had been a hungry beast these days,

But even after waiting for a few seconds, that did not happen. In fact, his lips were so cold as if no warmth was left in them.

With a frown, she tried to kiss him again when he blocked his lips.

He.. did he just stop her from kissing him? Who was he.. An imposter? Where was her Leo go?

Lifting her head, she stared deep at the man with confusion when he held her waist again a smile formed on her lips.

See! The touch always works! But her smile froze next second when instead of bringing her closer, he held her and pushed her away from his lips.

"Leo! I.."

"I am feeling tired and want to rest for a while! Can we talk later?" Then, without waiting for the reply from the shocked girl, he looked away and leaned on the window and closed his eyes!

Evan blinked as she continued to stare at his face! What just happened? Did he take her word so seriously that he did not even want to talk to her now?

She crossed her hands in front of her chest as annoyance started to fill her too!

Isn't it the right of a lady to get angry and the responsibility of a gentleman to coax her? Why was he being so furious then? Could he not understand that she was joking? It was not the first time she had teased him!

Hmph! If you could be angry then I would be too! It would be only better as I would have more time in my hands as I did not need to deal with you while preparing for the marriage.

I would be able to rest well then instead of roaming on roads in the middle of the night!

Though she had thought like that, her eyes were still stealing glances of him! While her lips were pursued into a thin line!

And every passing second when he did not look at her, a look of irritation filled her face,

She had thought that her resolve was strong but the more she looked at him the more she fidgeted in her place.

Shifting her weight from one leg to another, she kept on staring at him and finally sighed as she could not bear anymore!

'What was he thinking? Why was he looking so lost? Why was he not talking to her?' all the thoughts kept swirling in her mind when she blinked her eyes and leaned on him again!

His hands reached on her shoulder to push her again but this time she was the one to strike first,

"Leo! I am your wife! You do not have the right to push me away!

If you pushed me one more time I promise I would cheat on you with that Aiden, you loathe so much! Do not make your princess more angry or you will regret it!"
