Chapter 51 What a Jerk
Chapter 51 What a Jerk
Opening his palm and then clenching it again, Louis walked up to the table, poured himself a ss
of red wine, and took a sip.
His mind was nk for a moment, and he couldn''t figure out what kind of woman nche really
was.
An extremely ugly face and a beautiful face kept appearing in his mind alternately.
p... p... p...
Intermittent apuse came from behind as Henry walked in with one hand in his pocket.
"You deserve to be the most outstanding son of the Herbart family. The woman you married is out of
the ordinary, just like you. She yed an amazing game tonight and gained quite a bit of attention."
Louis pursed his perfect lips. He knew that Henry was implying that nche was cunning,
intentionally pretending to be ugly and then proving herself to be a beauty, causing a sensation.
"I can see that you''re quite interested in nche. Could it be that Miss Yonng is not enough for
you?"
Henry shook his head. "You''ve got it wrong. It''s not me being interested in nche, but nche
being interested in me. Compared to you, she seemed to be more interested in me."
"I can tell. She does seem to have a strong interest in creatures like you. When I saw her greeting
you, it was like watching her y with our aloof mastiff at home. That''s just how she is. The colder
something appears, the more she wants to y with it." Louis swayed the wine ss in his hand
and raised his eyebrows lightly.
Anger brewed in Henry''s eyes as Louis mocked him for being a dog.
Rat-a-tat...
nche ran back. After she ran out, she realized that she had forgotten her bag and came back to
get it.
Seeing Henry in the room, nche slowed down and became puzzled. As she approached the
door, she heard them discussing... a mastiff?
The two of them stood opposite and looked hostile, but were they discussing a mastiff?
Louis turned his head slightly and looked at nche at the door.
nche was startled by his cold gaze and walked in with her head held high.
"I came back to get my bag."
"I didn''t expect that nche is the most interested in dogs at home. I''m just curious. Is it a male or
female dog?"
nche''s hand, holding her bag, paused. Weren''t they discussing a mastiff just now? Why were
they talking about dogs now? And when did she be interested in dogs?
nche turned her eyes and looked at Henry, who had a faint smile on his face. She had a bad
feeling about this.
Henry raised the corner of his mouth, turned around, and left with a meaningful smile on his face.
nche shook her head, looking at Louis.
"What were you talking about? Male dog, female dog? We don''t have any dogs at home, do we?"
Louis felt suffocated by nche''s serious question. He pursed his lips and didn''t answer, but his
gaze shifted downward.
After admiring nche''s perfect figure, Louis''s eyes sparkled. He hadn''t carefully observed
nche''s new outfit when he came in earlier.
She was wearing a soft white dress, her hair tied up, with a few strands of hair lightly falling on her
forehead and slender neck. Her snow-like skin matched her soft red lips, making her even more
enchanting.
Realizing that he had been staring at her for too long, Louis shifted his gaze away.
However, nche suddenly gritted her teeth and pped the table loudly, annoyed.
"What dog? He was just insulting me, saying that I''m in heat. He even used dogs to mock me. It''s
outrageous!"
The atmosphere became awkward for a few seconds.
Louis rarely felt guilty and changed the subject.
"You''re already grown up, but you forget things. How can you just casually leave your bag
anywhere?"
nche raised her head and nced at Louis impatiently. He was lecturing her. Humph, maybe
they also used the mastiff to mock her earlier.
Taking her bag, nche frowned and turned to leave.
Louis grabbed her slender wrist. nche was caught off guard, and he pulled her into his strong
chest. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
His chest was so firm and nche immediately bounced back as if she had touched a scorching
hot stone.
nche''s intense reaction made Louis feel displeased.
"Exin why you intentionally pretended to be ugly."
Louis was dissatisfied, so he exerted a bit of force on nche''s wrist.
"It hurts."
nche gasped in pain, but she was defiant. Why should she exin? Whether she pretended to
be ugly or not was her freedom.
Besides, if she really exined and said that she was afraid he would fall in love with her, he might
kill her.
But looking at Louis''s intense gaze, she had no choice but to exin.
"It''s simple. I''m so beautiful. If I didn''t intentionally pretend to be ugly, all men woulde after me.
How could I handle that?" nche raised her head and looked proud.
A trace of contempt shed across Louis''s eyes.
"Is that the only reason?"
Then, with a deep and intense gaze, Louis stared at nche as if he was trying to see through her.
His annoying look made nche very ufortable, but she snorted.
"Yes, of course."
When nche spoke, her rosy lips parted and her eyes sparkled.
While othersined about not being pretty enough, she imed that being too pretty brought
her trouble. Only a fool would believe that, and Louis disagreed.
nche reced Nicole and married him, which was enough to show that she was capable and
scheming.
"If you don''t want to tell the truth, forget it now. Let''s go."
"Where are we going?"
Louis grabbed nche''s hand and strode towards the exit.
nche didn''t want to walk together with Louis at all.
"Home? The banquet isn''t over yet."
Louis stopped and turned around.
"That''s right, but you''ve already hogged the limelight for the whole night. What''s wrong? Do you still
want to stay here and continue to show off?"
"I don''t want to leave now. I want to stay and settle the score with the liar." Of course, nche
referred to Cathy as the liar.
Cathy had plotted against her countless times tonight and pushed her into the water just now, and
she hadn''t gotten back at Cathy yet.
And she hated umting grudges. Now she couldn''t wait to take revenge on Cathy.
"The liar?"
Louis repeated the two words with a frown and knew that nche was referring to Cathy.
However, Louis still pulled nche and walked towards the exit.
nche couldn''t keep up and her hand was squeezed painfully. She yelled angrily in pain and
refused to walk no matter what.
Louis stopped again and nced at nche.
nche and Cathy had been scheming against each other. Even if they fought until dawn, there
would be no clear winner.
But seeing nche''s unwilling face, Louis sensed that she genuinely didn''t want to leave with him.
Louis lifted their joined hands and shook them.
"You don''t want to leave, huh? Then I''ll give you a choice. If you act coquettishly towards me like
you did when you came out of the water, I''ll let you stay. You can go deal with whoever you want."
He finally understood that nche was heartless and had been making use of him. When she
needed him, she called him sweetly, but when she didn''t need him, she wished to stay far away
from him and gave him disdainful nces from time to time.
He had never seen such a materialistic woman before.
Act coquettishly?
That was impossible.
nche felt very ufortable. Thinking about her pretentious posture by the pool, she felt a
cramp in her stomach.
She felt that she had suffered a great loss. Acting coquettishly there didn''t bring her any benefits,
and Cathy didn''t receive any punishment.
nche seemed to have figured it out and shook her head.
"Forget it. I''ll leave with you today and teach her a lesson next time."
Louis couldn''t help but feel frustrated. Look, this woman was indeed using him, and his heart even
softened stupidly at that time.
