Chapter 117
“Jason, why did you grab my phone?!” Summer was busy driving and watching the road, unable to retrieve her phone immediately. In the meantime, Jason had opened her Messengers and saw the newly received message. It was indeed from me.
I said I was waiting at a ramen shop in a nearby town. He not only read that message but also the previous ones, his temples throbbing, his hand nearly crushing the phone. Xander had taken me away. In other words, he had been monitoring my whereabouts the entire time.
Even Summer could see his impure intentions, and I dared to claim that they were innocent.
His wolf was seething with rage, “SHE’S OURS! THAT WEREWOLF HAS ILL INTENTIONS TOWARDS HER! TAKE HER BACK!”
Although his anger was about to ignite Summer’s car, he replied with an “OK,” nayigated to the ramen shop, and instructed Summer to drive there. He threatened to throw her out of the car and drive himself if she didn’t drive properly.
Summer:…How did I run into this living Death God!
Given that he seemed on the verge of a meltdown, she dared not disobey. She wanted to live too.
never expected Summer to run into Jason, and be “kidnapped” by him. My single message had completely exposed my location.
Not long after getting into the car, my stomach growled, and Xander turned into a town. At this time, most restaurants were closed. Only a barbecue stall and a Lanzhou ramen shop were still open.
chose the Lanzhou ramen. I also sent a message to Summer, asking her to come over. Thinking that she probably hadn’t eaten linner either, I ordered a bowl for her too, asking for extra beef.
Kander smiled knowingly. “You still have a conscience.”
said, “Ah? Oh, yes. Mr.Shaw, do you eat spicy food?”
Although my reaction was quick and my response was fast, Xander still sensed my momentary confusion; he was being >resumptuous. His wolf sneered, “YOU’RE GETTING AHEAD OF YOURSELF AGAIN! SHE NEVER ORDERED FOR YOU!”
You finished ordering before asking if I eat spicy food. Isn’t that a bit late?”
Not late at all,” I pointed to the chili oil and vinegar on the table. “You can add it according to your taste.”
… Xander’s expression was bland. “Honestly, did you order it for me?”
Yes, yes, of course. Who else would I order it for?”
opened my eyes wide, appearing sincere. It was like a gift intended for someone else being mistakenly taken by the boss. What could I do? I could only play along. The “hero” halo wasn’t inexhaustible.
Kander looked at the omega who appeared sincere but was actually deceitful, a cold hum escaping his throat. “Secretary Wells, you would be a shame not to be an actress.”
My face flushed crimson. Under the bright incandescent lights that could illuminate the fine hairs on my face, everything was exposed; my smoothness was just petty hypocrisy in his eyes.
I surrendered.“Okay, actually, I ordered it for Summer.”
Xander said nothing more.
The noodles arrived, but he didn’t eat. This made me embarrassed. I was genuinely hungry, but with him sitting opposite me, giving me the “You heartless, deceitful woman, you only care about yourself look, how could I eat?
