The Gianna of the past always prioritized Caesar in whatever situation.
She naively thought that this was how a husband and wife would communicate with each other.
She thought that by respecting him, he would reciprocate too.
Only in this life that she knew that it wouldn’t happen.
Some people would only want a mile if an inch was given.
Caesar still remained silent with a cold, hard face.
Based on how Gianna was behaving all the while, as long as he was throwing some tantrum, she would suck up to him and shower him with consoles. Now, he was waiting for Gianna to soften her stance too.
However, Gianna suddenly said, “If that’s the case, then I think we should call off our wedding.”
Caesar stared at Gianna starkly.
He never thought that Gianna would bring up the idea of not marrying again.
Gianna seemed oblivious to Caesar’s emotion as she continued, “A marriage is a tie between two families. I don’t want my addition to your family to cause much misery to all of you. I have accidentally stepped on Bernice’s dress today and caused her to lose face in such an important event, so she must hate me very much.”
“Gina, you were never like this in the past. You won’t keep bringing up the idea of calling off our marriage.” Caesar’s tone indicated that his mood was turning sour.
However, Gianna was threatening him with the “marriage” matter again, so he had no choice but to swallow his frustrations.
“I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that your family don’t like me a lot.” Gianna muttered.
“Why do you think that? My parents like you very much. Can’t you feel that?” Caesar was very agitated.
Gianna didn’t answer him.
Caesar tried to be patient, “Be a good girl and don’t think too much, will you? My parents really fancy you. My sister might be a little childish but she really sees you as one of her own.”
“Is that so?” Gianna asked incredulously.
“Stupid. Even if you don’t trust my parents, you should at least trust me. We have been together for so many years, and when have I ever lied to you?” Caesar pretended to be angry as he said that.
When had he ever lied to her?
However, the current Gianna was able to face Caesar with certain calmness.
She could face all of her fake pretences without flinching one bit.
“Don’t ever say that you don’t want to marry anymore. It hurt my heart.” Caesar reached out and pulled Gianna into his embrace.
Gianna tried to hold off her sense of disgust as she laid into his arms.
At that moment, the two of them had different train of thoughts in their heads.
Caesar was thinking how Gianna had made him lose face recently. When Gianna was married into his family, he would make sure to let her know how he was going to torture her!
On the other hand, Gianna was wondering how long she was going to continue this act with Caesar.
She couldn’t help but admit that being in Caesar’s arm like this right now made her want to puke.
And the two of them were hugging together for a long time.
Caesar seemed to have calm down a little as he slowly let go of Gianna.
When Gianna saw his face after he let go, all she could see was a very mellow and gentle face.
Truth to be told, she was actually impressed by Caesar.
After all, most of the time when she was putting on an act whenever she was with him, she would fail to see through her acting to the end.
For Caesar though, everything came naturally to him.
“Let’s go back to the hall. As the host, you can’t dismiss yourself from entertaining the guests.” Caesar said with concern.
When Gianna nodded, her eyes trembled for a moment.
She saw Helen glaring at her furiously as she emerged from the hall.
Gianna suddenly wrapped her arms around Caesar’s neck.
Caesar was caught off guard, as it was very rare for Gianna to do something like that out of her own will.
Caesar himself didn’t so much as take the initiative to establish skin ship too.
In his opinion, Gianna who was a boring woman couldn’t exert any pull on him no matter how pretty she looked. He always loved wild, sexy… and even violent girls.
Therefore, he was always polite and careful around Gianna, but in fact that was just him being himself because he didn’t have interest in her.
And in his head, he thought that a woman like Gianna would think that him placing a certain distance between themselves must be his way of loving her.
