The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 664

But then again, who wouldn't Ferris invest in?

When he was chasing Zoey Zeller, didn't he buy her a whole house just to please her?

Now, he had simply switched targets.

Just as he had passionately pursued Zoey, maintaining an ambiguous and intimate relationship with her.

His sudden pivot to pestering me was nothing more than a quest for novelty.

He had gotten bored of me, so he found a fresh toy in Zoey. Now that he was bored of Zoey, he had turned his sights back on me.

No, or perhaps he wasn't tired of Zoey at all. Maybe he only turned back because he saw the wife he had coldly neglected suddenly receiving attention from both Leon and Caspian.

Men were always like this. They took what they had for granted, but the moment someone else tried to claim it, their competitive instincts flared. Even if it was something they had previously treated like trash, they would clutch it tightly and refuse to let go.

All his displays of deep affection, all his begging—it was all fake.

I didn't care in the slightest, and I certainly didn't want it.

I just felt even more anxious. Initially, I thought Ferris was acting like a lunatic, putting on a show of devotion just to trick me into dropping the charges against his precious Zoey. But given the current situation, it seemed he genuinely wanted to get back together.

With only a few days left until the cooling-off period ended, what would I do if Ferris refused to honor his original promise?

I gripped my phone tightly, my mood growing increasingly irritable.

Ferris had been acting strange too. Ever since I pushed him away at The Hayes Residence, he hadn't sought me out or contacted me once. That afternoon, the head nurse unexpectedly assigned me to a surgery.
