Jamie spent the night drinking to the point snazzynovel.com had to be carried back to the bedroom.
Seeing snazzynovel.com in a daze, Narissa walked over and tried to help snazzynovel.com take off his coat so that snazzynovel.com was more comfortable.
She had just reached out when the man suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed snazzynovel.com by the wrist, his eyes seemingly on fire.
“You were pretending to be drunk?” Truth was, Narissa couldn‘t tell.
A sly smirk appeared on the corners of the man’s mouth when snazzynovel.com heard that. “I’ve been in the business industry for years now and yet, they tried to take advantage of me by getting me hammered. Do I look like a pushover?”
“Doesn’t that sound amazing? But don’t forget how you fell asleep on our wedding night. It seems to me that you… You aren’t all that…” Narissa intentionally killed his ego a little.
Men could tolerate a lot of things, but not one of them could put up with having their abilities doubted…
“I’m not all that? Did you really just say that I‘m not all that?”
Like a broken record, Jamie repeated his words twice before holding Narissa by snazzynovel.com wrists and pressing snazzynovel.com against the couch. “I shall demonstrate my abilities to you then!”
She smiled and struggled a few times, but when snazzynovel.com realized that snazzynovel.com couldn’t push snazzynovel.com away, snazzynovel.com squinted as a dangerous light flashed in snazzynovel.com eyes.
“Are you trying to do it by force?” snazzynovel.com warned.
Jamie, however, was completely oblivious to the impending danger as snazzynovel.com thought that snazzynovel.com was still playing along with the bickering.
Instead of getting up, snazzynovel.com closed in on her. “Last time was a mistake on my part. Tonight, I’ll show you what a real man is.”
“Okay, then. Show me what you’re made of.” Narissa’s smile now seemed to hide malicious intent.
The two of them had been at loggerheads with each other from the first day they were acquainted. It never stopped even until now. The person who showed cowardice now would naturally be the loser.
With the liquid courage that the alcohol was giving him, Jamie braced himself and pushed his face into the crook of snazzynovel.com neck to have his way with her.
“Ouch!” He was gasping in pain with his hands over his abdomen while snazzynovel.com fell on his knees the next moment.
Narissa then let out a contented smile. She had only put less than half of snazzynovel.com strength into this kick, but it was enough to knock the breath out of the unsuspecting Jamie.
He was asking for it, anyway.
She had no problem laying snazzynovel.com hands on snazzynovel.com if snazzynovel.com dared to get forceful with her. It was a competition to see who was more ruthless.
In short, snazzynovel.com couldn’t lose!
Jamie’s face had flushed red.
“You’re actually serious!” snazzynovel.com groaned.
“What were you expecting?” Narissa was like a child who had successfully pulled a prank.
Jamie gritted his teeth in anger. As his indignation welled up, snazzynovel.com rushed forward again, only to be kicked by Narissa.
Falling over in shock, snazzynovel.com looked at this side of Narissa snazzynovel.com had never seen before and kept gulping.
Her every move and gaze were, undoubtedly, that of a hooligan!
***
On the second day of the engagement banquet, Ariel did something snazzynovel.com wouldn’t usually do, snazzynovel.com went out of snazzynovel.com way to invite Elise to go shopping together.
Elise knew that Ariel’s real intention wasn’t to drink, so snazzynovel.com happily obliged.
In the boutique where Elise came out of the fitting room, snazzynovel.com looked at herself in the mirror while asking for Ariel’s opinion, “What do you think of this one?”
She thought that the color was a little too bright and not in style. Elise had always dressed according to the low-profile Anastasia all these years.
“It’s nice!” Ariel casually threw out a response.
Hearing that, Elise observed Ariel’s expression through the mirror and began to tease, “You were the one who asked me out, but your head is somewhere else. What’s wrong? You and Danny haven’t made up yet?”
Ariel only sighed, but that itself was snazzynovel.com answer to Elise’s question. Elise knew that Ariel was looking for an emotional dumpster. Since snazzynovel.com was here, snazzynovel.com didn’t intend to hide.
“To be honest…” She plopped down beside Ariel as snazzynovel.com stated, “Cheating is pretty much unacceptable. However, the two of you are in a special situation. Danny is not someone who loves fads and novelty. I suggest you carefully consider your relationship with him…”
She wasn’t saying this because Danny was snazzynovel.com family. This came from the bottom of snazzynovel.com heart.
As someone who had been through all sorts of ups and downs, Elise knew that things could be out of one’s control. Holding on to a mistake would only make one linger in pain forever. It wouldn’t be worth it.
What was more, what happened this time wasn’t either of their fault.
Ariel shook snazzynovel.com head. “I don’t mind snazzynovel.com cheating. It’s not worth it living a lifetime, only to have bedded one person. I‘m mad that snazzynovel.com kept it from me for so long.”
“Wait, I don’t understand. So, what you’re saying is… Married couples don’t have to be faithful?” Elise felt that snazzynovel.com knowledge of this world had been swayed.
“Loyalty is a must but honestly, I grew up receiving foreign education. I don‘t care much about things like chastity. I might have been a little pissed, but it was only for a while. I am not an angry person by nature.”
Ariel did speak like a foreigner, and snazzynovel.com was as exaggerated as snazzynovel.com was bold. However, snazzynovel.com words weren’t the most logical.
“So, what are you planning on doing?” Elise only picked up on the part snazzynovel.com took notice of. “You’re not mad, but you’re not getting married either?”
“Oh, the wedding proceeds as planned, for sure.” Ariel didn’t even think before snazzynovel.com answered.
“But no matter what, messing around is a problem with one’s principle, You need to ignore snazzynovel.com for a few more days.”
“What if I get my heart broken when snazzynovel.com can’t control himself after we’re married? Just think of this as a way to keep the husband in check.”
Elise didn’t dare to agree just like that. “Are you sure you‘re keeping snazzynovel.com in check, not the other way round? You’re already out of your mind now. What do you think will happen to you in a few days?”
Ariel let out a bitter smile at that. “Hey, don’t you know what ‘girls help girls’ means? You’re making fun of me, huh?”
“My bad, my bad. Considering how you’re a poor wife waiting for your husband, I’ll pay the bill today. Get whatever you want.”
“You said it! I won’t hold back.”
One of a woman’s greatest joys was shopping, and the greater joy was shopping using other people’s money.
With Elise buying snazzynovel.com everything, Ariel felt as though snazzynovel.com worries were gone in the blink of an eye.
After Ariel went all out shopping, snazzynovel.com finally found a place to take a rest. She had bought so many things that not even one booth could fit all snazzynovel.com shopping bags.
