Zeta was amused. âFiancée?â
Hearing the doubt in her words, Xavier inexplicably got a little angry. âDidnât you mean to let me in when you left the door open?
âZeta, you used to be open with me. Itâs just a web search. Whatâs there that I canât see?â
âYouâ¦â
She was infuriated by his rogue logic and glared at him fiercely. âIn short, you canât look at my stuff in the future!â
âOkay.â He did not expect such a reaction from her when he took the initiative to care about her matters for the first time.
He laughed sarcastically. âI will not care a thing about you in the future.â
âYou never cared about me before.â She was already a bit uncomfortable. Hearing him speak to her like this, she felt more and more aggrieved. âAnyway, our engagement is just for show. You have so many girlfriends outside. Why donât you go and care for them? Why are you, minding my business?â
As soon as she said that, his heart sank.
Not knowing where his anger came from, he suddenly grabbed her wrists and pushed her to the table at her back.
Zeta did not expect such a move from him.
She did not have time to react and only felt a sudden pain in her back. Instinctively, she shouted, âLet go of me!â
Her voice was shrill. outside would hear this and reached out to cover her Xavier seemed to be afraid tha mouth.
âDonât scream.â His thin lips brushed against her ear, and his voice was a little low and husky. Zeta smelled an unusual intention and stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes.
He saw a hint of repulsion and anger in her eyes.
It was an emotion that she had never had before.
He suddenly felt a bit irritated and nibbled on her earlobe. âWhat are you staring at me for?â
âLet go of me!â
He sneered, âDonât you love me a lot? Isnât this what you want?â
What kind of overweening statement was that?
She frowned. âDo I need to remind you that we are only engaged superficially? And it was you who proposed it!â âWhy? Does it break your heart?â Xavier was overwhelmed by anger and could not listen to Zetaâs words at all. He only wanted to stubbornly prove that she still had him in her heart.
He did not know what kind of state of mind he was in.
Maybe it was due to his possessiveness, or maybe he simply did not like the way Zeta rejected him.
He took a deep breath. âLet go of me, or I will shout!â âShout if you dare! Let them see what you look like now.â As he spoke, he suddenly pinched her chin, and his voice became raspy. âYou can let them see how their obedient granddaughter is in my arms...â || âShut up!â Her eyes suddenly widened. He could do whatever he wanted, but she could not tolerate him joking about her grandparents! She suddenly struggled violently to make him know that she was really angry. Only then did he loosen his grip slightly and let her go. He swept a glance at the laptop coldly. âDonât worry. I wonât let them know that I am only superficially engaged to you.â She did not say anything, but her face looked a bit disappointed. He might not know that her grandmother had found out about their relationship. Her grandmother did not reveal her thoughts and treated him as a proper grandsonâinâlaw only for her sake. She felt tired. âWhat exactly do you want to say?â âExplain this.â
