"What could possibly need handling in the middle of the night?"
Nichole had no faith in men's words.
Men were always dishonest. If he’s not interested in her, he surely had another girl outside!
At this moment, her eyes were filled with suspicion. The next second, Nichole spot the lipstick mark on Ricardo's white shirt collar.
Nichole felt as though she had caught him red-handed. She reached out to grab Ricardo's collar, demanding, "What's this?"
The sight of the lipstick mark on his collar instantly reminded Ricardo of the moment when Sophie deliberately fell into his arms in the car and the eye contact they made as she got up.
Right then, Ricardo understood everything.
That woman was using him to raise Nichole's suspicions!
Ricardo did not explain, and it only solidified Nichole's suspicions. She angrily exclaimed, "Oh, so you say you like me, but you won't even touch me! It turns out it was all an act of deep affection! I've had my suspicions, and now it's clear you've been cheating on me!"
"Rowena, listen to me…"
"I won't listen! I'm going to tell my dad right now and say you don't love me at all! It's all been an act!"
Nichole often used this tactic to act spoiled, and it had always worked wonders, but this time, just as she was about to storm out of the mansion, Ricardo pushed her to the ground.
Nichole was startled, looking up at Ricardo in disbelief from the ground. "You pushed me?!"
Recently, Ricardo had treated her like a treasure, afraid of her getting even the slightest bump or bruise; never before had he exerted such force on her.
But in this moment, Ricardo's gaze was utterly different as if he was looking at something he utterly despised.
