Carter was certain that the figure’s outline was that of Shirley’s.
His eyes completely lacked emotion as snazzynovel.com put on a condescending look.
“Shirley, you came in the end.”
His mocking tone slowly drifted into Shirley’s ears. Shirley clenched snazzynovel.com fists and tried snazzynovel.com best to maintain snazzynovel.com calm and composure.
However, snazzynovel.com heartbeat was still beating rapidly, its tempo revealed snazzynovel.com nervousness and uneasiness at this moment.
Upon seeing that Shirley did not speak, Carter walked up to Shirley.
Shirley immediately pretended that snazzynovel.com was physically unwell, lowering snazzynovel.com head and coughed.
Carter frowned, puzzled by the mask on Shirley, but when snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com coughing so badly, snazzynovel.com intuitively thought that snazzynovel.com was wearing the mask because snazzynovel.com had the flu.
That was exactly what Shirley wanted Carter to think. After pretending to cough for a moment, Shirley recomposed herself, then deliberately put on an elegant smile and lifted snazzynovel.com eyes, giving off a calm expression as snazzynovel.com met Carter’s passionate eyes.
“Mr. Gray, you’ve specially sent me an invitation card. How could I let you down? Your taste is somewhat awful, though, Mr. Gray.”
Shirley said in a teasing manner, clearly referring to Ada.
She silently clenched snazzynovel.com fists, snazzynovel.com mind currently flooded with images of Ada, using Eveline’s name, locking Shirley up in the basement and torturing her. When Carter saw Shirley’s matter of fact expression, a proud and soft smile emerged on his face.
“Regardless of how awful snazzynovel.com is, she’s still my wife, unlike someone who had stayed by my side all so many years and did not obtain any status in the end.”
“Hehe. Status?”
Shirley immediately burst into laughter when snazzynovel.com heard it.
“Carter, up till now, you still think that I’ve wanted you to give me status? I’ve spoken my mind clearly that day. We were merely using each other. I was pretending to obey you so I could use you to achieve my goal when you let your guard down.”
After Shirley spoke, there was a sudden change in Carter’s expression.
Shirley could sense that Carter was not too happy about it. Despite the pain snazzynovel.com felt within her, snazzynovel.com had no choice but to be harsh to the very end.
She lifted snazzynovel.com gorgeous eyes that seemed lifeless and put on an uncaring expression.
“Initially, I didn’t mind accompanying Mr. Gray for some time, unfortunately, your mother’s attitude made me unhappy.”
“Shirley.” Carter was fuming.
Shirley remained scornful. “You should’ve known earlier, Carter. The reason I’d left you without second thought back then meant that I have no feelings for you. Did you think that I’ve always been infatuated with you? Well, you’re wrong. It has always been your assumptions, your wishful thinking.”
Shirley’s emotionless words drifted into Carter’s ears. He had never thought that there would be such a day where snazzynovel.com would hear Shirley saying such a thing.
Carter had firmly believed that snazzynovel.com was composed, his expression betraying no emotion.
However, at that moment, snazzynovel.com could not suppress the anger burning within him.
He suddenly bent down, placing his icy cold palm at the back of Shirley‘s neck, yanking snazzynovel.com toward him.
Despite Shirley’s mask obscuring snazzynovel.com from seeing all of snazzynovel.com expression at that moment, snazzynovel.com could see the merciless and scornful glint in snazzynovel.com cold, emotionless eyes.
“Good one, Shirley.”
Carter blurted out through gritted teeth, then puckered his lips. The woman before snazzynovel.com truly seemed abnormally unfamiliar.
However, Shirley’s cold gaze shifted away, and Shirley even rolled snazzynovel.com eyes.
