Can't Resist the Billionaire novel Chapter 23

My parents were honest people and they valued the reputation most. He knew that. If I fall out with him, he will spread the bad behaviors between me and Vincent to my parents. By then, even if I had ten mouths, I can't explain it clearly!

When I stood up to eat, I was also muddleheaded. Christopher saw that I wasn't in the mood, so he asked me if I was feeling unwell. In fact, I had nothing wrong with my body. It was just that I was feeling sad and stifled. Everyone said that sorrow wasn't greater than the death of one's heart. Perhaps, the feelings I had for Christopher were the same.

During dinner, Christopher first apologized to me on behalf of Naomi. Then, he brought up the topic of finding an internship for her. He tried to find out if Vincent's company had any suitable positions. If there was, he could help.

I sneered and deliberately asked Christopher. "Of course I have a job, but it's not good if I ask. Isn't Vincent your best friend? Your sister is looking for a job. If you don't ask, let your wife ask, is there something wrong?"

Christopher turned his face away awkwardly. He could tell that I was trying to humiliate him, so he put on a saintly appearance and said. "I'm just put my heart on you! I knew you wouldn't do anything that would hurt me!"

"I won't, but your good buddy may not be? You know, he's not a gentleman. If I contact with him for too many times, won't you be jealous?"

"What kind of words did you say? Ah, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Have the meal first!" Christopher knew that the more he said this, the more he couldn't ease the atmosphere. He quickly ended the topic.

I didn't give up and took advantage of the meal to shake the shiny diamond ring on my left hand in front of Christopher. At that time, the sun was shining on the surface of the ring, shining brightly. I didn't believe Christopher didn't see it.

I just wanted to know how he would react when he saw that I even changed the most basic diamond ring. But to my disappointment, his hand holding the bowl paused for a moment when the diamond ring shook. Then he continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

I laughed bitterly, a little disappointed. Suddenly, I felt the house become oppressive and depressing. This was no longer a paradise that I was familiar with, but more like a hell that bound me.

He didn’t care about me at all, didn’t he? He was willing to act in front of me mainly because of Vincent, who was willing to spend his money!

Christopher, what exactly was I in your heart?

Or, was I nothing anymore?

"I'll go back to my hometown this afternoon!" I said calmly to Christopher during the meal time. However, my tone was firm and I had no intention of discussing this matter with him.

Christopher was stunned. He looked up at me. "Why do you suddenly want to go home? Do you want me to go with you?"

"There's no need for that. I'll go back myself!" Even though Christopher was only saying polite words, I still rejected him with a face full of nervousness.
