Chapter 1043
Louis raised his eyebrows. “Of course, I do. I have seen a lot of women, so do you think she can fool me with those petty tricks?”
Ryleigh did not say anything. Initially, she thought no man would be able to differentiate batches from other ordinary women.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and asked incredulously, “Then why did you behave like a stupid man during the incident with Willow?”
Louis was momentarily stumped when Ryleigh brought up the incident from three years ago. He was caught between tears and laughter as he said, “I didn’t even like Willow, alright? When my mother said that she’s my cousin because of an item of evidence, did I believe it?“
Ryleigh was stumped. It seemed to her that Louis was right. He had never admitted that Willow was his cousin.
Suddenly, she remembered something and went closer to him. “Then am I a scheming girl to you?”
“You?” Louis crossed his arms around his chest and laughed. “If you’re considered a scheming girl with your intelligence, I’m afraid that there are no scheming women in this world.”
“What? How could you!?” Ryleigh shouted angrily.
Louis grabbed her into his arms, and his smile broadened. “I’m just stating the truth. But this is why I like you. You’re simple, cute, and easy to be bullied.”
Ryleigh showered his chest with her fists. and Louis stopped her by grabbing her hands and securing her tightly in his arms.
“Of course, no one can bully you other than me.” Ryleigh rolled her eyes at him and said,” You said that because you can’t bully Xyla, right?” Louis rested his chin on the top of her head and said, “Why do you have to be jealous of her? Does a man need so many reasons when he chooses the woman he likes?”
Perhaps for other men, picking a perfect and flawless wife to spend the rest of their lives respectfully was the right choice, but he did not need it. He had been raised in a good environment, so he had been exposed to too many good women.
The reason he had chosen Ryleigh over Xyla was not that Xyla was bad. It was because he had seen too many resemblances in Xyla. They led the same life and were harsh to themselves. When they were together, they would interact like friends more than lovers.
