Mysterious Little Wife novel Chapter 57

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive. 

Lacey didn't like the look in his eyes. Subconsciously, she reached out her hand and tried to push him away. 

Sam had eagle eyes, however, and his hands were quick. He managed to grab her hand and held it close to his chest. With eyes as sharp as knives, he sneered in a low, hoarse voice, "You want to marry him so badly, huh?" 

Lacey tried to withdraw her hand, but the man had such a firm grip on her that she couldn't move at all. 

She lifted her head and glared at him." Mr. Garrison, it's none of your business who I want to marry!" 

Sam squinted again, a faint smile on his face. "None of my business? Are you sure?"

He leaned in closer to her once more. "Would you like me to help you recall our memories?" he asked. His warm breath was near her ear. 

An ambiguous tone pierced her ear. 

Lacey was taken aback and looked at him in disbelief. Then she sneered and exclaimed, "Mr. Garrison, we are adults!" 

She retaliated in the most direct way possible. 

Sam remained silent, only staring at her sinisterly. 

Lacey wasn't afraid, nor did she struggle. She raised her brows as she looked into his dark eyes. "Mr. Garrison, do you still maintain a conventional mindset? Don't worry. I won't hold you responsible." 

They were in the modern world, after all.

Even she was open-minded! Could it be that he was still a traditionalist? 

Sam's expression darkened. Unexpectedly, he took her chin and kissed her hard on the lips. 

Lacey was caught off guard. By the time she realized what was going on, Sam had let go of her. 

His eyes arched into a crescent moon, and he smiled. "You don't mind, do you?" 

"Shameless!" She raised her hand, ready to slap him.

Yet again, Sam managed to grab her wrist and pull her into his arms. He grinned wickedly and said, "Aren't you open-minded? What are you so angry about?" 

Lacey trembled with rage as she looked up at the man. "I'm your cousin's girlfriend. Are you out of your mind?"

Both he and Sophia were freaks! 

A sneer flashed in Sam's narrow eyes. He said, "Lacey, you were the one who provoked me in the first place. Did you think I could make you Theo's woman?" 

Lacey stared at him in shock. Her eyes glowed red with anger then. 

"You look better with expressions on." He pinched her chin and grinned wickedly. 

Lacey stared at the man. Out of nowhere, she laughed. 

"Ha—" 

"What are you laughing at?" He asked calmly. 

Lacey abruptly rose to her tiptoes. "Mr. Garrison, are you jealous?" She grabbed his shirt and asked in a slightly ambiguous tone. 

"Jealous?" Sam repeated the word, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Would there be a better explanation if not?" She leaned into his neck, bringing her warm breath closer to him as she said in a mocking tone, "It's a pity, though. It's a pity that you don't live up to my standards!" 

......

After saying so, Lacey frowned. 

Sam's hand, which had been around her waist, drew her close to his chest. 

He was forceful, and it made her feel uncomfortable. 

Disgruntled, she looked up at him. 

However, she was greeted by a pair of brooding eyes instead. 

Sam chuckled. "I'm not up to your standard, you say?"

Lacey sneered despite her discomfort. "Do you really believe you're so great, Mr. Garrison, that all the women in South City should fall for you?" 

"Ha—" 

Sam's eyes remained bright with a smile. "You knew how good I was in bed already, didn't you?" He whispered ambiguously in her ear.

Lacey lifted a mocking smile upon hearing that. "Mr. Garrison, you sure are forgetful. Haven't I told you before that you're terrible at that as well?" 

"Is that so—" 

Sam reached out his finger and pressed button three in the elevator. 

"Ding-dong!" The elevator door slid open. 

"Then let's do it all over again!" 

He grabbed her before she could react. 

Lacey was taken aback. However, she realized what was going on right away. 

"Sam, are you trying to rape me?" She grabbed his shirt with both hands and forced herself to calm down. 

What she said had the man come to a halt. 

"Ding-dong." The elevator closed again. 

Sam remained silent and looked at her with a glum expression.

"Or do you have a thing for the living dead?" Lacey scoffed when she saw he was silent. 

Sam let out a cold chuckle and released her. 

Then he pinned her to the elevator. 

Clasping one of her hands in his and placing it on top of her head, he said, "You're good at playing hard to get." 

......

Lacey remained silent. She only gave him a cold stare. 

Sam didn't like the way she looked at him. 

He bit her lip as if to deliver punishment. 

Still, Lacey remained motionless. She didn't even try to dodge. 

Even her breathing was faint. 

Sam came to a halt and stood up to face her. 

Now he knew what she meant when she said the living dead!

Her gaze was dull, and her voice even cold as she said, "I'm Lacey, not Lillianna. I'm sure she's more likely to play this coercive game with you!"

Just then, the lift suddenly stopped. Obviously, someone had pressed the button. 

They came to the first floor. 

Gradually, the door opened.

And it was Alvaro outside. 

"Hadn't you guys already gone up? Why are you still here?" Alvaro asked in suspicion as he walked in. 

Lacey lowered her eyes and fixed her hair. She smiled and said nothing. 

With doubt, Alvaro looked at her and then at his son. 

Sam, on the other hand, stood straight and stared ahead as if nothing had happened.
