A trace of tenderness softened Charles Mu's cold face. He glanced Linda then turned to Johnson Xia,"Don't worry, uncle Xia. I will take care of Linda."
A chill began to creep over Linda's body, which she could immediately tell that it's from Lisa Xia's ice-cold eyes.
It's not a secret that Lisa Xia had a crush on Charles Mu who, in her own fantasy, was deemed to be her husband in her dream wedding.
She was thrilled at the betrothal between the Mu clan and the Xia clan when she first heard it from May Shen. She thought her dream may finally come true.
But everything had gone into the thin air because of Linda.
Lisa Xia hated her for it.
She hated her.
She hated the sister who seemed to pop out of nowhere.
Feeling Lisa's furious glower, Linda looked at her in provocation and pushed her further by leaning closer to Charles Mu,"Lisa, are you OK? You don't look so well?"
"Linda Xia, who do you think you are. Aren't you ashamed of yourself, leaning against Young Master Mu like that in broad daylight?" The anger that Lisa Xia smothered for a long while bursted all of a sudden.
May Shen was lost for words. How could her daughter still be such impatient after her years of instructions.
"Why should I feel ashamed, Charles is my husband." Linda Xia winked at her in amusement with her smart and bright eyes.
Charles Mu even put his hand around her slim waist and gently rubbed her back.
Damn it. What did he think he was doing with his hand!
Linda Xia kept the smile on her face and tried to suppressed the rage inside.
Charles Mu was obviously pushing his luck.
Linda had nothing better to do instead of keeping on smiling since she couldn't expose his tricks for her own sake.
Yet her little hand was creeping up to Charles Mu's back to pinch him as hard as she could.
Charles Mu trembled involuntarily out of the sudden pain.
Linda felt much better.
Little did she know that the pinch was more of a tickle to Charles Mu.
"What husband? You haven't married him yet! ! You are a disgrace! Who knows if you could marry him in the end!"
Lisa Xia was driven crazy by her own fury, especially when she saw Linda leaning against Charles like a cuddly little bird.
All these revolted Lisa.
"Slap!"
A sharp sound of someone being slapped broke the air.
Johnson Xia was livid with rage,"Lisa, what are you talking about! Apologize to your sister!"
"Father, how could you slap me..." Lisa covered her face in shock and couldn't believe what just happened. Her eyes were already full of tears.
This is too much, May! This is how you raised your daughter! As his anger piled up, Johnson Xia raised up his hand again with the intention of giving Lisa another slap.
May Shen hurriedly pulled back his hand while winking at Lisa. However Lisa Xia had totally forgotten what May Shen had told her this morning.
"Johnson, Lisa is just a little girl, she has no idea what she was talking about. I apologize to Linda for her."
"Linda, your sister doesn't know any better. Don't take it to heart."
Had it not been for the fact that there was a note of coldness in her eyes and that she had once sent someone to murder Linda, one would probably mistake her for a model stepmother by the look of her sincere face.
"It's fine, auntie, father. I won't hold it against my sister." Linda shook her head while wearing a smile.
