Chapter 386
The apartment.
Dorothy had just entered the room when she heard someone knocking.
Smug, she hummed a little song and opened the door.
However, her expression stiffened when she saw who it was. “Johnny, what are you doing here?”
“It’s my house. Can’t I come?”
Dorothy chuckled dryly. “I didn’t mean that. I just thought you were…”
Before she could finish, John looked at her coldly and asked maliciously, “Did you do that to Zyla?”
“Zyla?”
Dorothy quickly took his arm and said coquettishly, “Johnny, even you are doubting me? You said you would believe me.”
John threw her hand away without hesitation, his body exuding a cold pressure.
“Don’t challenge my patience. I’ve given you enough trust.”
Seeing his harsh attitude, Dorothy sat on the couch and began crying. “Johnny, you always do this. You questioned me for Olivia.
“If I hadn’t lost a kidney to save you two years ago, I wouldn’t be so weak now.
“I know that my love for you is my own business. I didn’t ask you to reciprocate it. Why are you so cold to me?”
With that said, she covered her face and cried while peeping through her fingers to observe John.
To her surprise, John’s face remained as cold as ever.
“I don’t know anything, Johnny. Do you need me to leave Ocean City so you can be assured?”
She had been too aggressive in the past. She was always pushy, which made John suspicious of her.
Therefore, she was taking a step back this time.
If she made John guilty enough, she could lower his suspicions of her.
Besides…
Dorothy stood up and looked at John with grievance and tears. “I know you kept me by your side to find the answer, but I won’t tell you so easily.”
John finally spoke up.
