The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 298

"Winona."

Yulen had been fuming, but seeing her looking so stunning caused the anger in his chest to instantly deflate by a few notches, his voice involuntarily softening.

Winona leveled a cold, impassive look at him and didn't say a word.

Yulen pressed, "Did you go to the Riverton Research Institute today?"

Winona scoffed. "Are you having someone follow me now?"

Seeing that every word out of her mouth was lined with barbed wire, Yulen's irritation flared back up. "No, I didn't have anyone follow you. And furthermore, I'm just looking out for you. Don't you think getting dressed up to parade yourself around like a peacock is taking things a bit too far?"

She was *his* woman. Her beauty should be reserved exclusively for him.

Winona found the accusation utterly laughable. "How exactly am I parading myself?"

Without warning, Yulen grabbed her wrist and reached up with his thumb, aggressively trying to smear the lipstick off her mouth.

"You!" Winona's face flushed with furious indignation.

"You barely ever used to wear makeup, but now you're painting your face every single day. Getting all dolled up like this—if it isn't to parade yourself around and attract other men, then what is it?"

Winona fired back instantly. "Women dress up to make *themselves* feel good, not to please men. The sheer arrogance of guys like you is astounding."

Repulsed by his touch, she yanked her arm and drove her knee squarely into his groin.

Yulen let out a stifled groan, instantly releasing her wrist as his face twisted in sheer agony.

"Winona Jowett! How dare you do that to me?!"

Winona glared at him with pure, unadulterated disgust. "Watch me."

Without wasting another breath on him, she spun on her heel and walked away.

Yulen drew in a sharp, ragged breath, standing doubled over for a long time before the excruciating pain finally began to recede.

Just then, a sleek car pulled up beside him.

The passenger window glided down, revealing the sharp profile of Stefan Goddard. Stefan cast a cool, passing glance at Yulen, a dismissive smirk playing on his lips.
