Genius Wife Is Naughty Again novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348

He felt bad for her. Janet took a deep breath, and her wickedly enchanting eyes met his again. “There are some things that you know very well in your heart.” Her gaze was calm, and her expression was neutral.She had to admit that she had been moved by him, so she was starting to panic. As smart as she was, how could she not feel the changes in her attitude toward him? This was exactly what she feared, and what she feared had come true. However, there was no way she would not be moved by this man. As long as he was around, she would long to approach him.His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. “Speak!” Meeting her cold gaze, he was completely dazed. Not too long ago, she could still joke around with him. So, why did the girl standing in front of him right now seem so strange and unfamiliar?“I heard that during the time you were in Markovia, you tried the ten strongest drugs in the world when you were only 20. Is that true?” she asked faintly. She suddenly recalled the time when she was feeding the wolves at the Lowry Residence. At the time, she had questioned Henry about what meaning the blood-red bracelet carried, as well as why everybody in the Lowry Residence was so respectful to her whenever they saw her.In response, Henry did not express any special emotion on his face. He simply answered indifferently, “To be honest, I never imagined he would give you something like that! I still remember when he started taking an interest in you. I thought he was just trying to see if he could wean himself off the drug that is love.”At the time, she had not been able to understand the meaning behind his words. However, he had mistakenly assumed that Mason had told her about his past. So, Henry had recounted all the experiences Mason had gone through while he was in Markovia. He said that Mason had tried the strongest drugs in the entire world and successfully weaned himself off them so that nobody could ever get a hold of his weaknesses. However, love was the only drug he had never tried before.Listening to Henry’s nonchalant tone of voice, she had to admit that she was nervous. Am I something Mason will be able to wean himself off too? For that reason, she had no mood to listen to whatever else Henry had to say after that. When Mason heard her question, his expression dropped. Looking at her calm face, his voice was slightly icy as he said, “How do you know about that? Did Henry tell you?”She did not wish to continue pestering him either. Still, she had not imagined that the confession would come so quickly. It had disrupted her originally peaceful life. Staring into Mason’s eyes, her voice was cold and determined. “Ever since we met, you took an interest in me, slowly approached me, and made yourself addicted to me! But, you will quit anything that you become addicted to! Then, what about me?” She was not Mason—she could not guarantee that she could quit loving him. Why should I possess something I cannot have?The man’s gaze wavered upon hearing those words. Then, his gaze was mixed with pain and grievance as he stroked her face with his hand, saying emphatically, “You underestimate me.”She was underestimating the strength of his love for her. If he could wean himself off her, why would he continue to pester her? Why would he waste his time on her? He could simply walk away right now and they would have nothing to do with each other anymore. Besides, he had no plans to wean himself off her anyway.Her eyes narrowed abruptly. At the same time, her lips pressed together tightly, and she looked extremely gloomy. His gaze was so deep and powerful that she felt as if she were sinking into it, and she couldn’t even refute his words. It felt like the ending was predestined—it would not change no matter how much she struggled against it.Mason studied her pained and doubtful gaze, and his heart clenched in pain. In the year that they had known each other, he had never seen her so vulnerable before. Thus, the man’s enchanting eyes shone with a dark and dangerous light as he stared at her intently. His large hand gripped her shoulder tightly. “If I still can’t make you believe me, then destroy me.” As he spoke, he took out a 14mm pistol from the drawer of his desk and placed it in her hands. Compared to losing his life, losing her was far more painful. “If you don’t believe, then shoot me.” The man’s thin lips lifted slightly. Those words were clearly bitter, but when it came from him, it sounded incomparably doting. Janet held the gun in her hands as she stared at his chest. She knew that if she pressed down with her finger, she would no longer have any weaknesses.
