Reborn to Marry My Best Friend's Uncle novel Chapter 142

Annie instantly sobered up as she watched William take Suzanna away.

"Suzie!"

Annie lurched forward, ready to chase them down. Suzanna looked like she was being dragged off, and she didn't think that William looked like a good man.

Before Annie could take another step, a gentle force pulled her back.

Christian caught her arm and steadied her swaying body, his voice low and soothing as it washed over her. "She's going home. And so are we."

Annie turned in a daze, her eyes crashing straight into his deep, dark gaze.

Christian had sharp lines and perfect angles, a straight nose, thin lips, and a face that checked every box of her preferences. He was undeniably handsome.

Annie rose onto her toes, leaned in without hesitation, and planted a kiss right on that handsome face.

Christian went rigid. The soft brush of her lips stayed on his skin, along with the faint, sweet bite of alcohol.

He couldn't believe that she had kissed him.

The thought hit him so hard that his heart skipped a beat.

He barely had time to enjoy it before a furious figure stormed back in and shattered the moment.

It seemed that Sean had returned. The second he charged back to the banquet hall entrance, he saw Annie on tiptoe, kissing another man, and his eyes nearly went red from rage.

He didn't stop to think. He lunged forward and reached for her arm, yelling, "Annie!"

However, his hand never reached her. A stronger grip clamped down on his wrist like iron.

Christian's brow tightened as he shifted Annie behind him, shielding her so entirely that it was like she had vanished into his shadow.

When he looked at Sean, there was nothing in his eyes but cold violence. Then, he lifted his leg and drove a brutal kick into Sean's lower abdomen.

"If you don't want to die, get the hell out."

Sean stumbled back, pain tearing through his gut so viciously that he doubled over. He clutched his stomach, his face twisted with rage as he glared at Christian, as though he wanted to tear him apart.

"She's mine!" Sean spat the words through his teeth.

"I've already looked into your background. You're just some pathetic manager, and you think you can steal her from me? Let her go now! Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
