Chapter 113

113. FAKE COUPLE

CELINE’S POV

“Hi… my name is Sean Hayes. I’m Celine’s… first love. Nice to meet you…” Sean took the initiative to hold out his hand to greet him, but Sebastian only gazed at him with his eyes narrowed.

“First love…?” Sebastian asked, his lips twisted in a sarcastic way.

“Yes… her childhood sweetheart to be exact,” Sean shrugged his shoulders and retracted his hand as if it were no big deal that my husband didn’t shake hands with him. “She was just fourteen when I…’

Sebastian’s jaw twitched as he decided to pay no attention to him and then turned to gaze at me. “Didn’t we agree on visiting your parents’ house together after your school? We should get going. Dad’s waiting for us…”

With only one sentence, he had exposed his identity to Sean, and the latter’s visage quickly faded upon hearing that Sebastian called m father, Dad.

“Oh… I’m her husband, by the way,” Sebastian unexpectedly blurted out as Sean’s face paled as he processed the information, even though he was already aware who this man beside me was.

“But your marriage is fake…” Sean countered, smirking.

I just couldn’t bear the humiliating atmosphere any longer; it was too much. The way in which they carried on talking as though I weren’t standing right in front of them made me feel even more agitated.

“My apologies…” I said as I shook my shoulder in an effort to free myself from Sebastian’s grasp. “There is still something for me to do.

I quickly grabbed my school bag and left the coffee shop without waiting for Sebastian to catch up with me. The black car that was waiting in front of the coffee shop was the first I spotted, so I yanked open the door and climbed inside.

A few moments later, I saw Sebastian going out of the coffee shop as well. He seemed so irate, his eyes were staring directly at the car I

was in.

“Who is that man?” he questioned as soon as he stepped into the driver’s seat, his voice calmed down a bit.

Because I didn’t want to engage in conversation with him, I directed my attention to the world outside the car window.

I heard him sigh while he was sitting there, and in silence for some

time.

“You’re not going to tell me who that man is?” He inquired once more, this time with a more insistent tone, but still, I didn’t respond to him as I remained silent. “Fine! I’m going to investigate him all by myse

“Does his identity have anything to do with you?” I hissed as I turn my head to look at him. “Why must you investigate him?”

“Why wouldn’t I?” he asked back. “It seems as though he was trying to seduce my wife; thus, what do you think I ought to do to him?” a smile formed on his lips which was cold and filled with cynicism, causing me to shudder uncontrollably.

“Don’t you dare!” I retorted furiously, glaring at him.

“So now, you’re protecting him!” he exclaimed as he leaned forward, his entire bulk practically obstructing my view of him. The intensity of his rage was literally visible in the bulging veins on his forehead. “Do

you like him?”

I didn’t move. I did nothing but give him a really icy look. There was even an underlying current of unmasked hostility in it.

After maintaining eye contact with him for a while, I eventually moved my lips together in order to respond.

“Don’t forget, Mr. Anderson… that we’re just pretending to be married!” I rasped. “We’re nothing but a fake couple!”

“Fake couple?” he snarled angrily. Do I have a vivid imagination, or did he really sound like he was in a lot of pain when I mentioned that?

I co cked my head to the side and glared at him with a contemptuous expression.

“I would never inquire about the details of your personal life. Even if you were to carry on with dozens of extramarital relationships, I wouldn’t be bothered by it. If you ever get sick of playing with them, I can assist you in resolving the issue at no cost to you at all… provided that you let me know when you do so. So, could you just let me go?”

And that left him speechless.

After that, he let out a hearty chuckle, but then his expression. changed to one of seriousness, and he leaned over me once again

that his warm breath could fan across my nose.

“Who told you that this marriage was a sham?”

And I was taken aback by that.

“What exactly do you mean by that?”

“Now that we’re married, do not even entertain the thought of walking away from my life because I will never, ever allow that to happen! You will be my wife forever!”

“You’re crazy!” I growled as I shoved him away from me with my palm on his chest.

He just laughed it off.

“I can be even crazier than you think, baby… Would you be interested in giving it a shot?”

He didn’t wait for me to respond before he violently pressed his lips to mine in a manner that suggested he was trying to punish me.

I attempted to push him away from me and purse my lips, but his strength was so great that he pinned me against my seat and kissed me more forcefully. Because he was so domineering over me, I was completely immobilized.

It was not until he noticed that I was already gasping for air that he reluctantly let go of my lips.

“Don’t let me catch you with that guy again, or you know the

circumstances!” he declared and finally drew away from me. “Don’t ever forget that you are Mrs. Celine Anderson now, my one and only wife!” he reminded me once more before he returned to his sond
