Chapter 1242
Mr. Roswald stretched his hand and caressed the back of her hand.
Naomi was stunned and frowned while he continued. “I’m sure it’ll work out anyway. I need a decent and wise wife like you, Ms. Xavier.”
Naomi suddenly pulled her hand out and said, “I’m sorry, but I already have someone I like.”
Mr. Roswald’s expression changed, and he pulled her hand away. “You have a man you like? So? What’s the big deal? Are you guys dating? Are you married? If your parents know about your relationship, will they approve of it?”
Naomi was startled. She tried to pull her hand out of his grip but to no avail. Her face turned grim as she warned, “Mr.
Roswald, please let go of my hand.” “Ms. Xavier, I really like you. I liked you from the first moment I saw you.” Mr. Roswald pulled her hand and landed a kiss on it, causing goosebumps to erupt over her skin.
Naomi felt disgusted and pulled her hand out of his grip. She rose to her feet and said, “Please mind your manners, Mr.
Roswald!”
The rest of the guests in the restaurant turned their heads and looked at them.
Mr. Roswald leaned against the back of the chair and smiled sarcastically, “What’s the matter? Are you looking down at me? “Lucy Xavier, do you think you can get everything your way just because you’re pretty? If not for your pretty face, do you think you can get attention from other men because of your meager salary? I know what you want. You want to marry a rich man, isn’t it? Hah, what a dreamer.
“All of you people are the same. You want nothing but gold and money. You think you’re pretty, so you can get everything your way? You’re not competent and can’t earn enough money yourself, so you demand a massive bride price, yet you don’t want to help your husband to take care of his family, and you want him to take care of you instead like some sort of high-priced doll. So, why do we even have to get married?”
The words that spilled out of his mouth were obnoxious, and the voices of the people around them were getting louder and louder.
Naomi clenched her fists tightly. Although
she knew he was not insulting her, she still felt humiliated because he was talking about Lucy.
She picked up the cup of water on the table and splashed it on him.
Mr. Roswald was Infuriated by her action, so he shot up from his seat and shouted,” How dare you splash water on me, you crazy woman!?”
