The Love Book

She now desperately wants to change this situation, she really can’t stand it anymore, why he still doesn’t believe her?

The man pinched her jaw with one hand and smiled coolly, “As Mrs. Fu, you’re right, but then do you think I need it?”

Do I need it? I need …

The extremely sarcastic three words made Phoebe Barnes’ eyes snapped shut, and that’s what he really meant.

“So when will you … need it?”

She raised her little face, tears hidden in her eyes, but never let them fall, look a little aggrieved, the tone is even lower soft and humble.

Kemp Ross maintained the same position as before and looked at her, but there was a moment of confusion, what kind of thoughts did she have for herself?

At this time is pretending, or before is pretending, or before and after are just her disguise? He does not have much contact with women, does not understand the mind of women, and is too lazy to guess.

Darkness thickened under his eyes as he said in a low, cold voice, “You want me to give you another promise?”

Phoebe Barnes pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

Kemp Ross rubbed her face, his eyes dark and cold, smirking, “Do you expect me to like you? Have you forgotten how you married me in the first place?”

After saying this, he opened the car door and left without looking back.

Phoebe Barnes looked at his indifferent back, and the tears in her eyes finally flowed silently, and it was only after a while that she raised her hand to wipe them away carelessly, and returned to the villa lost.

Stepping into the living room, there was an additional figure in the house.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“Sister-in-law is back?”

Phoebe Barnes, stunned, looked at Genny Ross who appeared in the house and wrinkled her nose wordlessly, “What are you doing here?”

“I miss my big brother, can’t I come here to see him?” Genny Ross took a look at her expression and sensed a hint of something different.

Phoebe Barnes glanced at the man drinking next to her and faintly tugged at the corners of her lips, smiling softly, “Then I’ll take you upstairs to clean up your room.”

“No need, the maids have already packed up!” Genny Ross smiled sweetly at her, then walked to sit next to Kemp Ross and asked curiously with a tilted head, “I see that big brother came back with sister-in-law, did big brother also go to Jin Ming Hua Sheng today?”

Her words came so suddenly that they caught Phoebe Barnes off guard, and by the time she reacted, Kemp Ross was already frowning, “Kimmy Watson?”

What is that place? There is probably no one in Jiangcheng who doesn’t know.

Phoebe Barnes stood in place nerves instantly tense, heart panic is about to jump to the throat.

She knew it wouldn’t be that simple for Genny Ross to stay here.

Kemp Ross’s frown quickly loosened, holding his cup, his expression was bland, his tone was casual, no other emotions could be heard, “You went to Kimmy Watson today?”

Genny Ross blinked and didn’t look at Phoebe Barnes and laughed, “No, I saw my sister-in-law go in when I was outside at night and I thought you were somewhere.”

The point she was trying to make was simple: the place was a rich man’s entertainment place, and it was perfectly normal for Kemp Ross to go in, but if Phoebe Barnes went in alone, it would have to make people want to go in.

Kemp Ross didn’t answer, nor did he look at Phoebe Barnes, but slowly raised his eyes to her.

It all came so suddenly that Phoebe Barnes didn’t even think of a word to say, so she stumbled over her words and explained, “I-I-I just went in to see a friend.”

Kemp Ross kindly laughed, his tone still light, as if stating an insignificant matter, “Your friend’s sentiment is high.”

Genny Ross eyes with a wry smile, looking at her, as if careless tone, “What friends? Big brother also often go there to socialize, maybe even know it.”

Phoebe Barnes gave Genny Ross a somber look, not knowing for a moment that words would be waiting for her if she said she was going to see Lu less.

But on the contrary, Kemp Ross does not look like how much he cares whether she will answer or not, and always has an indifferent and thin and cold attitude.

Just as she was about to say something, the cell phone on Kemp Ross suddenly rang.

He wrinkled his brow and opened the answer, “Hello.”

“Has your wife arrived home yet?” Wind Rong’s voice came with a lazy laugh.

Kemp Ross’ brow knitted tighter for a moment, glanced up at Phoebe Barnes and said in a deep voice, “She was with you today?”

Phoebe Barnes couldn’t hear the voices inside, but also seemed to guess what was going on.

It should be Wind Rong calling.

Wind Rong lightly returned, “Sort of, but there’s no need for you to make up some nasty scenario. I have nothing to do with her.”

Kemp Ross was naturally sure Wind Rong wouldn’t see her, but why would he want to see her alone?

He wrinkled his brow, his voice colder, “What did you say to her?”

Wind Rong laughed lightly, “I’m not that cheap, I didn’t tell her about your old lover.”

He quickly added, “But I found a problem.”

“What?”

“You are quite stupid sometimes. As a brother, the old man can only advise you …”

Before he could finish his sentence, Kemp Ross cut off the call with a somewhat somber look in his eyes.

Phoebe Barnes clearly sensed that his gloom was not directed at her, and was just about to ask something when she saw him suddenly get up and, without a word, lift his steps upstairs.

She froze, a little unsure of what Wind Rong had actually told him.

Genny Ross was also stunned, he just walked away? If he didn’t know her well, he should have at least questioned her, right?

Until Kemp Ross’s figure disappeared, she also got up and grunted reluctantly, “Don’t think that big brother won’t be suspicious of you if he doesn’t speak in his heart, you follow other men out to fool around, sooner or later I will make you get out of this house.”

Phoebe Barnes tightened her eyebrows, her eyes shot at her with extreme coldness, gritting her teeth as if she were a different person, “Genny Ross, have you forgotten what you promised me? I’ll help you see Ann Shi and you won’t start any more trouble. And what are you doing now?”

She was angry, really angry, and had just come so close to letting the last bit of her image in front of him go that it felt almost on the verge of despair.

Genny Ross was almost frightened by her temper tantrum, it seems that the first time to see her so horrible eyes, the heart inexplicably some timid, but still cold voice said: “Since nothing has been done, then you are faint heart what? You think my big brother is so easy to cheat? If you really dare to fool around with men behind his back, I will immediately tell grandpa to get you out of the Ross family.”

Thinking about the way Ann Shi looked at her today, a tinge of jealousy welled up in her heart, and her disgust for her was even more extreme.

Phoebe Barnes looked at her coldly for a moment and suddenly laughed mockingly, “You think if I leave Ross’s house there won’t be any other women coming in?”

Genny Ross instantly hooked his lips, his eyes penetrated a deep meaning, “Of course there will be, and … will have a more suitable candidate. I’m sure my brother will be with happy.”

“What do you mean?” The meaningful look, the tone of voice that was so certain, caused a sudden surge of unease in Phoebe Barnes’ heart.

Feeling that his purpose was achieved, Genny Ross raised his chin in triumph and dropped the phrase as he turned to go upstairs, “Simple translation: you’re a mistress!”

Phoebe Barnes raised an eyebrow, “…”

She is … mistress?
