Chapter 12 A Leash That Keeps the Dog in Its Place

Denzel stole a confused glance at Christopher before taking the man’s phone from his hand. As he briefly skimmed through the notification, he chuckled and said, “Is this yours? Not even 100,000? That’s pretty thrifty of her, you know. What a breath of fresh air, huh? Anyway, whenever I give those women my credit card, they always spend everything without leaving a single cent to spare. Because of them, I’ve become wary of lending my card to others.”

Denzel placed the phone down and shook his head scornfully as he spoke. Right after that, his expression returned to its former solemn state as he said, “Honestly, I think you’ve gone too far by marrying her on a whim just because of that incident all those years ago. You’ll be labeled as her second husband from now on—how shameful it is. Besides, aren’t you afraid of your old man’s interrogation? The Waynes will complain for sure; they won’t let you off easily for giving away the title of Mrs. Wayne without a second thought.”

“Go to hell!”

Christopher casually grabbed a pillow and flung it toward Denzel’s face.

“Who cares if they complain? Did they have to tell me whenever they brought a woman home as their wife?”

Then, Christopher raised a brow in disagreement and continued, “A piece of paper doesn’t mean anything to me; it’s nothing but a leash…”

He paused for a moment, and a sense of maliciousness surfaced in his alluring eyes. “A leash that keeps the dog in its place.”

Denzel tensed up momentarily at Christopher’s response before the corners of his mouth curved menacingly. “How merciless. What did she do to you? Back then…”

“That’s enough. If there’s nothing else, just leave. I had a tiring day, so I’m going to bed.”

“It’s your wedding night—are you really going to sleep here tonight? You can’t possibly let your wife sleep alone in the house.”

Then, a startled cry escaped his mouth—Christopher was grabbing him by the collar.

“Kindly get yourself out of here.”

Then, he cast him aside without saying anything else.
