Chapter: 1156
He looked at her, a glint of amusement in his eyes. His low chuckle echoed in the car as he reached over to pinch her cheek gently.
“Jealous?”
His voice was filled with an unhidden delight that only served to aggravate her further.
Angrily, she batted his hand away.
"Don't touch me with the same hand that touched her. It's repulsive."
Despite her harsh reaction, Brian didn't appear upset. Instead, the smile on his face seemed to broaden. He cupped her face, leaning in to plant a kiss on her Lips.
“No need to be angry, darling. When we get home, I'll let you examine me as much as you want."
Rosalynn was at a loss for words. As if she wanted to examine him!
“Didn't I say not to touch me?" With a swift movement, she dodged his advances and pushed him away.
Brian straightened up and took her hand, guiding it to his temple.
“Alright, I won't touch you. You can touch me though. Love, I've got a headache. Mind rubbing my temples Later?"
Rosalynn only scoffed at his words
Just moments ago, he was enjoying the company of his ex. Now, he was back, attempting to charm her. It was simply infuriating!
With a firm shake of her hand, she rid herself of his grip and started the car, her face etched with annoyance.
Brian seemed to notice her irritation, and, ceasing his taunts, he leaned back in his seat, placing his hand lightly on her thigh, and closed his eyes to rest.
As the Lights from the passing cityscape danced across his face, the lines of fatigue stood out starkly.
Rosalynn spared him a glance, half tempted to shove his hand away. But she only let out a deep sigh and focused on driving smoothly.
About twenty minutes later, they pulled up to their apartment.
Parking the car, Rosalynn announced, “Wake up, Brian. We're here."
With bleary eyes, Brian observed Rosalynn get out of the car, and he followed suit.
They entered the elevator, one after the other.
Seeing that her countenance was still hardened and she was ignoring him, he maneuvered himself behind her, pulling her into an embrace and gently grasping her chin.
