Chapter 1608
Levi flung the pheasant on the ground and left.
He was indeed enraged.
To Cecil and Ronald, Levi''s rage reaffirmed the fact that he had non-tonic feelings for Monique.
Cecil and Ronald exchanged nces and Cecil urged, "Monique, Young Master Brown seems
furious. You''d better calm him down."
Monique looked embarrassed. "Calm him down? Are you kidding me? Both of you are well aware
that we don’t get along. I will only piss him off."
Ronald insisted, "However, you are the reason he blew a fuse. Besides, he was on edge for the
entire morning thanks to you."
"What does it have to do with me..." Monique’ s voice faltered. It seemed that she was the cause.
"Oh well, I’ll talk to him, but I’m not sure if I can calm him down."
Cecil shoved her in the direction Levi left and urged, "Go ahead. We’ll roast the pheasant in the
meantime. It''ll be ready once you guys return."
Monique knew that if it wasn''t for Levi, she would have lost her life the day before. However, her
bad attitude upon waking up did set him off. She should apologize to him and thank him for saving
her.
Monique looked around for him and finally found him sitting on the rocks, gazing into the sea ahead.
He was as still as a statue.
Monique stood for a while before she clenched her teeth as if making an important decision and
approached him. She sat down beside him, gazing at the sea as she cleared her throat, trying to
attract his attention. "Thank you for saving my life the day before."
Levi gazed into the horizon and replied without turning his head, "It''s a wonder you still know that
I''ve saved you. I thought you had forgotten everything."

After all, he was on edge for the entire morning thanks to her. He disregarded his dignity and
sucked out the venom from her wound and even took care of her for the entire night, but she kept
her distance upon waking up without a word of appreciation.
T m sorry." Feeling awkward, Monique scratched her head as she continued, "I know that you have
saved me and I have acted like an ungrateful brat. Please forgive me. However, it was natural for
me to act in that manner. You were so close to me when I woke up. After all, I am still a woman."
"A woman?" Levi finally turned around and looked at her, his eyes twinkling with humour. "Monique,
so you do know that you are a woman."
"How am I not a woman?" Monique wanted to strangle him again. She rarely lost her cool but the
half-smile on his face was infuriating.
She purposely came to thank him and apologize to him. However, to her chagrin, his attitude was
annoying. Look how he ridiculed her. It was only natural that she felt like strangling him.
Levi’s gaze left her face as he shifted his attention to the horizon. After a long silence, he said
slowly, "Monique, did I do something to make you misapprehend my intentions?"
"What..." There was a look of perplexity on her face. "What do you mean? I don'' t understand."
Levi sighed and continued, "Monique, since you havee after me, let''s make it clear once and
for all."
Although Monique had no idea what he was bbering about, she still nodded and said, "Go on."
"Did you get the wrong idea that I'' m interested in you?" he asked.
Monique''s eyes widened in shock. "Young Master Brown, I know perfectly well what you think of
me. I''m not foolish. How would I get the wrong impression that you like me?"
"Then, why did you say that to Ronald and Cecil just now?" Levi inquired.
It was all a misunderstanding. Monique wished to resolve the misunderstanding at once, or it would
be awkward for them in the future. "Ronald and Cecil were pulling my leg. They said something like
Mrs. Brown. Hence, I told them it was impossible for us to be together. We are like two parallel lines
that will never collide. We differ a lot, not only in terms of social status. To prevent them from joking
around, I made that statement, but you arrived before I''ve finished the sentence."
She looked so earnest, as if she had no intention to be associated with him in any manner. He
should be delighted. He should even praise her, "Monique, you do know your ce well."
However, for reasons unknown, he was not thrilled to hear what she''d said. Something was amiss.
He felt a dull, subdued sensation, as if his heart was breaking apart.
Noticing his darkening expression, Monique thought that she had said something wrong. She
reflected on what she’d said but could not find anything wrong with it. To prevent a
misunderstanding, she added, "Young Master Brown, I swear that I will never fall for you. You can
rx, it would never happen."
Levi was at a loss of words.
He couldn''t wrap his head around his mixed emotions. Without realising it, he clenched his fists.
Seeing that he did not respond, Monique asked cautiously, "Young Master Brown, did I say
something wrong? If yes, just let me know and I''ll take note of it in the future. No matter what, I
promise you that I won''t cause you any trouble."
Her words made him clenched his fists again. After another long silence, he unclenched his first and
his eyes fleeted over to her. Suddenly, he grinned and teased, "Monique, you really know your
ce. It’s good that you know I only like beautiful women. In the future, just do what you need to do
and pay no heed to what the others say."
"That’s great." Monique heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Have you calmed down?"
Calmed down?!
Surprisingly, the answer was "no". On the contrary, his anger had mounted, but Levi masked his
annoyance.
He chuckled and said, "Yeah."
Monique rxed. "Great! You can sit here for a while. I''ll go back and lend them a hand. Once we
are done, we’ll let you know."
Levi nodded. "Sure, go and do what you need to do. I''ll sit here a little while longer."
For some unknown reasons, rage churned inside him and he was about to lose it if Monique
lingered on.
Monique stood up and was about to leave. However, she had been sitting too long, and it was
possible that some venom remained in her blood. As a result, her legs gave out. She staggered,
lost her bnce and fell.
Scared out of her wits, she screamed, "Aaaah..."
