A Mix-up Made Me His Enemy's Woman novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50

Noah narrowed his eyes as he searched Bethany’s face for even the slightest hint of a joke.

The smirk at the corner of his mouth froze in place. “Bethany, I’ve told you this before. There’s no need to play hard to get.”

Bethany smiled faintly. “I’m not joking. And Mr. Vazquez, one minute of your five is already gone.”

He clenched his fingers at her words. “I heard you had a fight with your mom. Even if it’s your personal business, don’t blow it out of proportion. Mr. Reid nearly hit Leo because of you. If you keep this up, Mrs. Reid will be the one caught in the middle.

“Bethany, you never used to handle problems so rashly. Why have you become so impulsive now?”

He’d felt the same wave of complicated emotions when she made up a husband out of thin air to get under his skin. Noah didn’t like this version of Bethany at all.

Bethany shrugged and smiled. “I didn’t realize you still loved playing everyone’s dad. My father is dead, and you’re not my boss anymore. Besides, we’re not related in any way, so could you stop nagging me like you’re my dad?”

Noah clenched his jaw. “Bethany, I’m doing this for your own good!”

“For my own good?” Bethany snorted.

“So Leo locked me up, and I’m not even allowed to be angry about it? It’s only right for him to apologize to me, but now, I don’t feel like hearing it anymore. Also, save your ridiculous lectures. I don’t need you to teach me what to do!”

Noah’s gaze turned cold. “Bethany, when did you become such a person? Are you just running your mouth to spite me?”

Bethany rolled her eyes internally. His lecturing really was unbearable. “Noah, I’m not trying to spite you. I’m married and want nothing to do with you anymore.

“What? You’re allowed to date someone younger and prettier, but I’m not allowed to find myself a young guy who dotes on me and has great stamina?”

That line darkened Noah’s face instantly. Bethany was basically calling him old, inattentive, and weak.

In truth, Bethany wasn’t sure if Noah had good stamina, but she knew she couldn’t afford to lose her edge in this

conversation.

“We broke up, and there’s no need to keep dragging things out. It’s completely inappropriate for you to lecture me.”

Bethany glanced at her watch. “Your five minutes are up, and my husband is waiting for me downstairs. Now, if you’ll excuse

me.”

Bethany walked quickly. She closed the elevator doors with a push of a button before Noah could even react.

By the time he snapped out of it, she was already in the basement.

Noah stood there with a cold expression, slowly digesting everything she had said. The more he thought about it, the tighter his chest felt.

In the end, he couldn’t even tell which of her words were true and which were lies.

Bethany really had made plans to have dinner at Silas‘ place.

She pulled her phone from her bag and stared in panic. The call had been going for seven minutes. Silas‘ name was clearly displayed on the screen.
