My Reborn Admirer Wins Over My Heart (Oriana) novel Chapter 484

“Hah. A joke? Not even remotely funny,” Kenny retorted coldly, turning his face forward. His expression was even darker than when she’d stopped him from going to Micah.

Zara was baffled. What was his problem all of a sudden? She hadn’t done anything

“Fine, I get it. You’re holding a grudge. I won’t tease the great Mr. Kenny Caldwell anymore, she shot back, mirroring his earlier sarcasm.

A mocking smirk twisted Kenny’s lips. Just as the light turned green, he ignored her, stepped on the gas, and the car moved forward.

But the thrill was gone. He settled into a steady thirty miles per hour.

Cars honked behind them, swerved past with blaring horns. Kenny didn’t react.

“Dude, a Ferrari at this speed? Got rocks in your head?” someone yelled as they passed.

Kenny didn’t even glance over. “Get lost.”

“Big man in a fancy car! So what!”

The driver cursed under his breath, then sped up and swerved past them. Several other cars followed suit, deliberately pulling alongside to get a look at the spectacle. They’d catch Kenny’s dark scowl, hurl a few more insults, and then speed off. One or two with particularly low road manners even flashed their high beams in mockery.

The sudden glare made Zara flinch and cover her eyes.

Without a word, Kenny picked up his phone and started reporting them. “Jinghua Road. Range Rover, plate ending 0987. Aggressive driving, high–beam flashing. Pregnant passenger on board,” he stated calmly.

“Report received. Penalties will apply if verified, the operator confirmed.

Zara watched him, a sliver of respect forming despite herself.

She’d underestimated him.

Not so dumb after all. In fact, kind of shrewd.

And definitely, absolutely, holding a grudge.

But more importantly….

“Kenny, are you doing this on purpose?” Zara asked, exasperated. “At this speed, I’m going to miss the movie!”

“Too bad,” he snapped back. “I didn’t want to sect anyway.”

“You!”

Furious, Zara checked her phone for other showtimes.

The next screening was sold out. Nothing available.

Defeated, she gritted her teeth. “Fine. I’ll just watch it a second time with Oriana later. You’re so petty!”

That almost made Kenny laugh out loud in disbelief.

He was petty?

If he weren’t worried the night air would chill her and she’d end up sick, he wouldn’t be crawling along like this!

Such an ungrateful woman.

Jaw clenched, he maintained his tortoise pace.

Having given up entirely, Zara slumped against the plush seat. They finally shuffled into the darkened theater a full fifteen minutes after the movie had begun.

Kenny wasn’t a movie buff. On the rare occasions he went, it was for explosive action flicks. This… this was clearly a cutesy animal romance. Absolutely not his thing.

He slouched in his seat, bored. To his left, a couple was feeding each other popcorn. To his right, two heads were tilted together in intimate conversation. Ahead, a pair held hands and kept stealing kisses. Behind him, a couple was practically fused together. Only he and Zara sat a proper distance apart, like strangers.

Kenny sighed inwardly.

Should’ve rented the whole place.

Who wanted to watch other people’s public displays of affection?

If not for Zara, he’d be comfortably gaming right now.

Then, in the dim light where his vision was sharp, he saw Zara’s hand move toward him.

He straightened instantly, a jolt running through him. His eyes, against his will, locked onto her slowly approaching fingers.

Inch by inch, they crossed the shared armrest.

Inch by inch, they neared his thigh.

A strange tension coiled in Kenny’s stomach.

What was she doing? Had the sappy atmosphere gotten to her? Did she… want something?

No way. He wasn’t going to just play along. She’d tricked him earlier. He was still mad.

The moment she touched him, he’d swat her hand away. Definitely.

Unbeknownst to him, his ears were burning, the heat creeping down his neck.

Finally, her fingertips brushed against the denim covering his outer thigh. The rough fabric transmitted the softness of her touch. Kenny’s breath hitched, caught in his throat.
