Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 14

Euan put Riley on the sofa of the living room when they got back to the villa; there was a first aid box beside the sofa. It was the same as the night they experienced before. Riley had a frown because she felt much hurt on her knee as well as she found Euan was much emotionally abnormal on the recent a couple of days.

Riley had a look at Euan who sat on the sofa reading the document. He leaned on the back of sofa, looking so cold and elegant; especially then under a floor lamp’s light, his eyelashes cast shadow of a fan on the lower eyelid.

Riley admitted she would be obsessed with Euan whenever seeing him.

She turned to look at her wound on the knee. She took off the bandage carefully; it was too much pain that caused her almost scream. The wound got worse and blood was sticky to the bandage which was greatly difficult to take off. She had to do it slowly.

When Riley was making it, Euan did not see her at all, just saying easily, “You have to live in the villa recently.”

Riley was surprised to hear it and raised her head to see Euan. Before she asking anything, Euan had known what she was thinking from her eyes. He turned to another page of his document and said, “I will not live here with you.”

Riley was some of embarrassed and felt like losing face for Euan’s question. He knew what she was thinking. But she had to deny it, “Of course I know. I would like to ask you whether someone else will be here.”

Such as Lydia.

If Euan also lived in the villa, Lydia would come to meet him. She was the last one in the world whom Riley loved to see.

Euan seemed to be unhappy. He believed Riley said he was someone else.

He said, “Someone else has lived in the villa for three years.”

Riley got to know Euan’s unhappiness, but she did not know what to say. Obviously, both of them were giving tit for tat to each other, simply but too irritating.

She asked, “Why asked me to live here? My own condo was cozy to live in. I am afraid I should not bother you in your villa.”

The half of bandage had been off the wound. Riley started to take off the last half, but she was getting more sweater on forehead with more pain. Finally, she was too angry with Euan to feel the pain anymore.

The power of anger was so amazing!

Euan said, “Hendrix just returned. He would like to know more about my life and will visit the villa for sure. But I have not got the exact time.”

So?

Riley said with a cold smile, “We have to play the roles for your younger brother?”

Euan had a look at her. He would like to do anything to stop her from saying these mean words, “You are not a new player.”

“Thanks to you.”

Riley took off all the bandage and wiped her sweat on the forehead with her hand. She had some pink on her radiant white face with much sweater as well the pale lips bitten hard by herself. She did not look so strong for just one second, but it touched someone’s heart.

Riley continued to say, “If you try to let Mr. Hendrix George believe we live here together and deeply love each other, I need something from you. Even if you don’t plan to live here, could you please send some of your belongings here and make them easily seen?”

Euan watched her speaking lips and then swift his eyes soon, “Sure.”

Riley applied the medicine on her wound and looked at the big living room. Luxurious and high-class as it was, the villa was not a perfect one for a family’s life, without warmth and love here.

Euan said, “Please go to buy anything you need.” He got a golden card from the pocket of his suits to give Riley.

Riley saw the card and asked, “Anything?”

Euan glanced at her with nothing to say.

She was allowed to buy anything she liked with the money or card he gave to her. Nevertheless, Euan was surprised that Riley had never paid for anything by his credit card as an authorized user in the three years, even he believed Riley married him only to get wealth.

Sometimes, he was eager to know why Riley married him? Money might not be the only reason; was there anything else she would like to get?

Riley had her wound well wrapped and said with a smile, “You are so nice. Thank you very much!”

Euan said quietly, “You’re welcome.”

It was getting dark at night. They sat separately with a sofa in the middle, nothing to talk.

It was too quiet and peaceful in the living room. Riley started to enjoy the peace.

Enjoying the peace?

Riley shook her head to keep herself clear; she did not believe Euan also enjoyed the moment.

Euan read the two documents many times, almost keeping all the terms in his mind. He kept doing it to stay here.

Out of his expectation, he did not feel any disturbed here with Riley whom he considered to be up to something bad.

This was some different experience with what Euan got for living alone.

Riley decided to leave first. She held the sofa to stand up and had a bit on her lips, talking with the cold Euan, “I have to take a shower.”

Euan did not expect Riley to tell him she would have a shower. It was common between the husband and wife. Euan started to imagine just then Riley said “Honey, I have to take a shower.”

“Ok.” Euan said.

Riley did not think Euan was going to live here. It was too late and the time for him to leave. How would he have a good sleep if leaving too late?

Riley asked him seriously and carefully, “Are you going to leave now?”

Euan was mad soon with her question; she was asking him to go?

He said, “Don’t worry. I hate to live together with you.”

“Great!” Then Riley got upstairs to her bedroom happily and closed the door hard.

Euan threw the documents on the table and stared at Riley’s room on the second floor. He almost lost his mind to rush to kill her then!
