Lucho tilted his head. After a long while, he seemed to have come to sense from shock. He slowly turned his head and looked at Myesha with hostility and apathy in his eyes.
He clenched his fists and tried his best to stay calm. Otherwise... he was afraid that he would be out of control and beat her.
Myesha did not expect that she would slap him.
This was the first time she had beaten someone, and the one was actually her husband.
The pain in her palm made her flustered. Even she was in so much pain. What about him? His face absolutely hurt severely, right?
She wanted to ask him how he was, but she didn't dare to ask when she saw his angry face.
"Myesha..." Lucho's anger overflowed as he said, "How dare you!"
"What?" Lucho suddenly laughed, "Are you satisfied now? Huh?"
He squinted his eyes, "Don't tell me that what I said is not what you have been expecting in your heart. What's wrong? Are you exasperated because I said what you didn't dare to say?"
Myesha swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "Are you... all right?"
"What do you think?"
"I'm... sorry. I shouldn't have slapped you."
Lucho sneered, "Don't you think it's too late for you to apologize?"
"I'm just... You shouldn't have said those words to me."
Before she could finish her words, he interrupted her, "Are you still blaming me and refuting?"
"No, I don't mean that." Myesha was very nervous, "I just think that you have gone too far. I am your wife. How could you say that? You didn't think about my feelings. Were you happy to say that?"
"Lucho, we're married. Can't we live a good life together? Maybe if I didn't do it well before, but I'll change myself slowly in the future. You're my husband. I won't think about... another man again. Believe me, okay?"
Lucho kept swallowing, and the expression in his eyes changed again and again.
To be honest, what she said really surprised him and made him feel... happy.
However, before he was overwhelmed by happiness, he became annoyed again.
Isaac, that illegitimate b*stard, was about to get married, but she was not the bride. She knew that she would never be able to get Issac, so she took the second best and chose him, didn't she?
Yes! It was not her first time to say that she wanted to live a good life with him, but she hadn't been so sincere in the last two times, had she?
Therefore, in her eyes, he was just a ridiculous back-up.
"I can talk to you in a nice way now. But if you don't listen to me, the one who will suffer will be Marrlin." He sneered, "Speaking of Marrlin, she is a little better now. But..."
"If you don't listen to my arrangements, I can't guarantee that she'll be all right."
Isaac gritted his teeth, "Do you have no other tricks except for this?"
Maxwell chuckled, "The tricks are not important. The important thing is that I have to get what I want."
"This is really your style!" Isaac mocked him, "Perhaps your trick can threaten me for the time-being, but... there's no forever secret in this world. If one day... I find her, do you think you can still threaten me?"
"You?" Maxwell did not take Isaac's words seriously at all, "It has bee a long time, but you haven't found her. Do you think you can find her if I don't let her go?"
He smiled coldly, "Isaac, considering that you are my son, I advise you not to think about those unrealistic things. If you marry Chloe, Marrlin will suffer less, and I can treat her well. I promise you that after you marry Chloe, you can work in Bai Company and help Lucho. But..."
"If you want to go against me..."
Maxwell drawled and stared at Issac meaningfully for a few seconds before continuing, "I don't mind turning her into another Adele!"
Isaac glared at him with his eyes wide open, "You!"
Compared with Isaac who flew into a rage, Maxwell looked relaxed, "Don't think that I won't. She is in my control now. Her life and death is up to my mood, while my mood depends on your attitude. Do you understand what I mean?"
