Mavis clenched her palms, and her already not-so-good mood worsened.
She endured again and again but couldn't help but burst out, "Anthony, do I look bad in your eyes? No matter what I do, you like to attack me and hurt me like I'm nothing. If you really think I'm not worthy of your identity, then why did you marry me in the first place? You should find a rich woman like Nevaeh."
Anthony stared at her inexplicably, "Are you out of your mind today? You're not happy at work, then why are you mad at me?"
After thinking about it, he reacted again, "You just called my name?"
He reached out and pinched Mavis' cheek with a punitive force.
It hurt a bit.
Mavis got even more angry and clapped his hand away.
Her red eyes were moist, looking very aggrieved.
"Anthony, you just rely on me who like you and bully me unscrupulously. Yes, I like you now, and I will endure it. If I no longer like you in the future, I will never let you bully me."
Anthony frowned and looked at her terribly wronged eyes, feeling puzzled.
The two stared at each other for a while before he asked, "What's wrong? With such a sharp tone, why did you regard a joke as bullying you?"
The more she heard, the more she felt aggrieved, and more she felt jealous. Mavis pointed to her face, "You pinch my face, and my face is red. Do you still say that you are not bullying me?"
They were married. Even if she was a nominal wife, then he should avoid suspicion with other women.
No wonder he had been in the company every day for the past two days. It turned out to be to visit his lover in the company and to pick her up at Callahan Residence by the way?
Feeling suffocated, Mavis bit her lip tightly and lowered her head, recalling the scene she just saw outside the car by herself.
Anthony didn't know what she was thinking, and his eyes focused on her cheek, which was indeed flushed.
A thin layer of red, coupled with her angry expression, made her actually a little cute.
He raised his eyebrows and teased badly, "There is no mirror in the car. How do you know that your face is red from the pinch? Why didn't it turn red with anger?"
"Because you pinched me."
She complained angrily, turned her face away, and quickly wiped her eyes.
Anthony noticed her movement and was startled, "Crying?"
"No!"
"You choke with sobs but you say you don't cry?"
Feeling a little guilty, Anthony slowly turned sideways and got closer to her, "Then let you pinch me?"
Mavis looked back at him, slightly wanting to do it.
It had never been her character not to fight back or scold.
"If I do pinch, will you take revenge on me?"
"Won't."
Normally, women didn't exert much force, and if he was pinched and revenged, what kind of man would he be?
When he was thinking, Mavis had gathered up her courage to pinch his face, and her fingertips twisted hard.
"Hiss..."
Anthony frowned deeply. His facial features distorted, and his anger rose instantly.
Her hand's strength was really not small. With this pinch, his face was numb. Was it necessary to be so cruel?
"Why you pinch so hard?"
The man's tone was low. Obviously it was a sign of anger.
Mavis stopped decisively, and saw the dark red pinch mark on his face that was swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she felt a lot more comfortable.
"Didn't you ask me to pinch? Do you want to limit how much force I can use? And... I didn't use too much force. You just said that you won't revenge."
Indeed, he promised first.
Even though his face was hurting for a while, Anthony endured the feeling of wanting to take revenge, and asked angrily, "Can you tell me now why you are in a bad mood? Who messed with you in the company?"
Mavis shook her head, not intending to be the villain who complained, let alone bother him with this kind of thing.
"No one in the company messes with me, and I'm not in a bad mood either."
"You're lying."
