No Renewal My Contract Husband (Nella and Alfred) novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199 Even Angrier

“You can let go now.”

This time, Alfred didn’t push it. He released Nella without a fuss.

After getting into the car, Nella glanced at her watch again and urged, “Let’s go.”

Alfred shot her a sideways look and said irritably, “You’re in that much of a rush to get back? Is your dog really that glued to you?”

Nella swept him with a flat glance and answered with a simple, “Yeah.

“Marshal’s timid. If he’s away from me too long, he gets anxious. Can you drive faster?”

Alfred heard the undisguised worry in her tone, and the sourness in his chest surged uncontrollably.

With a touch of deliberate spite, he pressed the brake, slowing the car even more.

Nella noticed and turned to look at him, urging again, “Can you drive faster?”

Alfred’s face darkened. “My hand’s not healed yet. I can’t drive that fast.”

Nella wanted to say that stepping on the gas didn’t require hands, but she knew he was clearly picking a fight. She didn’t argue.

“Then let’s switch. I’ll drive.”

Alfred was speechless.

A lump of frustration was stuck in his chest with nowhere to go.

“At the next intersection, just let me out. No need to drive me,” Nella said calmly.

If it weren’t for the fact that she couldn’t get a cab in this upscale neighborhood, she wouldn’t have gotten into Alfred’s car at all.

Alfred took several deep breaths before barely suppressing the anger pressing on his chest.

“Nella, do you even have a heart?! I’m your husband. Can’t you spare even half the patience you give that puppy for me?”

His voice rose unconsciously, tinged with grievance and complaint.

In his furious tone was a faint tremor.

The car interior was dim, with only the streetlights lining the road shining through the windshield onto his face.

They illuminated the bloodshot red in his eyes.

Faced with his inexplicable accusation, there wasn’t the slightest hint of guilt on Nella’s face. Only confusion.

Chapter 199 Even Angrier

She asked the question that had puzzled her for days.

Finished

“Why are you always competing with the puppy I keep? Have you been bitten by a dog or something?”

Blinded by rage, Alfred didn’t yet realize what was off about her words.

All he saw on Nella’s face was that every emotion toward him carried the same indifferent attitude.

It made him feel like a child throwing a tantrum on the ground, desperate for attention.

Meanwhile, she just looked on coldly, treating him like a monkey putting on a show.

In all his years, Alfred had never met a person or a situation that made him feel this repeatedly helpless, as if his fists had punched the air.

He could only glare at Nella with reddened eyes silently, his breathing heavy and uneven.

It was obvious. He was furious.

“I just treat Marshall like a younger brother. If you insist on competing with him, there’s nothing I can do.”

Hearing that, Alfred got even angrier!

“You’re not very calm right now. Either let me drive, or I’ll get out of the car. You need to cool down.”

Nella was afraid that in a fit of rage, Alfred might drive straight into a bridge pillar. She wasn’t ready to die.

She was now even more convinced that Alfred truly hated puppies. He must’ve been chased by one as a kid.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t get this furious every time Marshal was mentioned, his eyes turning red with anger.
