"Cut the crap!" Julia was so enraged that she swore.
Darren was stunned as he did not expect Julia's hostile response. However, he was not annoyed, although he would have stomped away in anger in the past.
But today, he stood there servilely and allowed Julia to reprimand him. He even attempted to explain himself to Julia.
Julia was overwhelmed by her anger and did not notice Darren's unusual behavior. She stared daggers at Darren. "Later, you better return to the study room or bedroom and get out of my sight!"
Darren was aggrieved as he merely wanted to stay beside Julia. Knowing Julia was displeased, he nodded and mumbled, "Alright, as you wish."
Only then did Julia notice something off and look at Darren in suspicion. "Since when did you become so obedient?"
It's not like him. Something must be wrong.
Darren furrowed his brows. "What do you mean?"
Julia drew closer to Darren and stared into his eyes. "You were never this obedient. I have a hunch that something is off. What exactly are you up to?"
Darren's eyes flickered. "Since you don't allow me to stay, I can't argue with you in the presence of the young ones. I have to save face!"
Arching her brows, Julia sized up the man and thought something was strange. Nonetheless, she believed Darren cared about his image. After hesitating briefly, she asked again, "Really? Are you really not thinking of ways to chase Elisa away?"
Darren pretended to be irritated. "What's wrong with you? Why would I lie to you? I've never lied to you all these years!"
