Chapter 29: I Will Only Be Playful with Ms. Morris
Chapter 29: I Will Only Be Playful with Ms. Morris
Lindsay didn’t believe the woman she saw on the dancefloor was Fiona.
Lindsay always thought Fiona was a country bumpkin. Fiona was born in a poor family, and she knew nothing about skincare nor fashion. Fiona was nothing in the eyes of the rich wives.
Rumour had it that Fiona set Alexander up when she was young so that Alexander would marry her. After Fiona was married to Alexander, she was nobody in the family, just like a caretaker.
However, Lindsay was so jealous when she saw Fiona dressed elegantly, and that Alexander held a grand birthday party for her. No woman in the Kouby City had ever enjoyed such treatment.
It wasn’t only for Lindsay.
Alexander’s sister-in-law, Juliet, too, thought the same.
Juliet looked down on Fiona all along.
Juliet married Alexander’s brother not long before Fiona married Alexander.
Juliet never saw any good in Fiona. She liked to pick on Fiona, and she even collaborated with Alexander’s mother to give Fiona a hard time.
Fiona tolerated all of that.
If Alexander didn’t inherit the Morris family’s wealth, Fiona would still be the nobody who got bullied by everyone.
Nobody would ever expect that Alexander would hold a grand birthday party for Fiona.
Fiona was probably becoming the hot topic in the upper-level society after the words got out.
Especially when Fiona looked so young and pretty after putting on the right dress and makeup. Furthermore, she had the perfect body figure where most of the women in her age didn’t.
Lindsay became more jealous.
However, she had to control herself and hid her jealousy.
The guests in the living were enjoying the graceful dance from Alexander and Fiona on the dancefloor.
Some were jealous, some were envious, and some were just being a busybody.
Anyway, the birthday party was going to become the topic of the town among the upper-level society.
Fiona was finally going to feel proud among the rich wives’ circle.
Gianna watched her parents dancing with a smile on her face.
Then, she heard a familiar voice rose beside her.
“I’ve heard it from Horace. You’ve spent thirty million RMB to buy a token of love for a girl you like,” It was Bruce’s voice, “I didn’t know you’re into mature women.”
They were discussing the sapphire that cost thirty million RMB. It was now embedded in Fiona’s tiara.
Horace spewed out the wine he was drinking.
People who stood beside Horace was disgusted by his action.
Horace wiped his mouth and gloated over Kingsley’s misfortune, “He got stood up.”
“What?” Bruce knew what happened, but he wanted to make fun of Kingsley.
“Isn’t it obvious? Kingsley’s goodwill was wasted,” Horace turned around and asked Kingsley, “An I right?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Kingsley looked back at Horace.
Then Kingsley left out of a sudden.
“Hey…” Horace tried to stop Kingsley.
He was joking.
Why did Kingsley get mad?
The next second, Horace realized he overthought.
He saw Kingsley held a woman’s hand in the dark and headed to the backyard of the Morris manor.
Gianna got pulled out of the party out of a sudden.
She didn’t mean to overhear their conversation.
What surprised her more was what Bruce, Horace and Kingsley said. Were they even close?
Gianna grew up with Bruce, but she never saw him talking to Kingsley before.
Gianna’s mind went blank.
Suddenly, Gianna sensed danger.
She was pushed against the wall in the backyard.
Kingsley was tall body pressing against hers, and he was looking at her from the top.
“Kingsley, what madness is this?” Gianna struggled and wanted to get away from Kingsley.
“Ms. Morris, you know what made a woman irresistible for a man? It’s when they play hard to get.”
Bullshit!
Gianna wanted to scold Kingsley with bad words.
She glared at Kingsley in anger.
It was like Kingsley couldn’t feel Gianna’s anger. He was staring at her with his dark-coloured eyes. Kingsley’s eyes were magical as if they could easily make people fall in love with him.
“Ms. Morris, you embarrassed me in front of my friends,” Gianna could feel Kingsley’s husky, deep voice and his breath on her face.
Damn.
Gianna cursed.
Was this man a womanizer by nature?
Kingsley was so near to Gianna that she was having goosebumps.
“Now tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?” Kingsley leaned closer to Gianna as he spoke.
Gianna’s heartbeat was racing.
She could feel Kingsley pressing his strong body against hers.
Kingsley’s got close to Gianna’s ear with his lips intentionally.
Gianna’s body temperature rose.
She was discomfited, “You didn’t say I can’t give it to someone else.”
Gianna knew Kingsley was talking about the sapphire.
Bruce was teasing Kingsley about how Kingsley gave Gianna the sapphire as a token of love, and she gave it to her mother.
“Ms. Morris, are you treating your gifts so casually?” Kingsley bit Gianna’s ear.
Gianna’s heart skipped a beat.
Then, her heart was racing fast.
Gianna tried to push Kingsley away with her hands, “Let go of me!”
“Ms. Morris, I believed you didn’t answer my question,” Kingsley’s lips got even closer to Gianna’s.
“How is it casual when I’m giving it to your mother-in-law?” Gianna’s came out with a made-up answer.
Gianna’s face flushed red the moment she blurted out.
She was influenced by Kingsley.
It was only a marriage of convenience.
Why did they have to make it so ambiguous?
Kingsley smiled.
Gianna could feel the curve on his lips.
“I accept your explanation,” Kingsley replied with his husky, deep voice.
It would really cause goosebumps.
“Are you feeling cold?” Kingsley asked.
Gianna was stunned.
It was because Kingsley’s hand was stroking her shoulder.
Gianna was wearing a strapless gown, so she was basically naked upwards from her chest.
“Why am I feeling so warm?” Kingsley kept talking even when Gianna didn’t answer him.
As Kingsley spoke, he licked Gianna’s ear.
Gianna gritted her teeth.
Then, she pushed Kingsley away.
Kingsley took a few steps back.
Then, Kingsley looked like he was enjoying looking at Gianna’s blushing face as she panted.
“Are you in your mating session anytime?” Gianna gritted her teeth.
She should be hating what he did to her, but she…
What a womanizer.
Kingsley’s chat-up skills were great. He was already at the peak of perfection in chat up lines.
Let’s not forget that Gianna was reborn, and she should be thirty-two years old by now.
Plus, she was married.
And now Gianna was blushing because of some chat up lines by Kingsley?
Gianna didn’t even remember when was the last time she felt her heart racing.
The relationship and marriage between Gianna and Caesar in her past life was slow and dull.
“No,” Kingsley smiled, “I did that to let Ms. Morris know what is it like to be playful.”
Gianna was speechless.
What a vengeful man!
Gianna took a deep breath and decided not to stay away from Kingsley.
After all, the Morris family was the host of the night, and she had lots of things to take care of. She didn’t want to waste her time here.
Gianna stood up and headed into the living hall.
The moment Gianna got up, she heard the husky, deep voice rose behind her, “I will only be playful with you, Ms. Morris.”
