Spoiled By The President: My Wife Is A Little Sweet novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548 I'd Be Deeply Grateful

The two of them were so close to each other that Laura felt intimidated by Max's overwhelming aura.

She flinched in spite of herself, looking shifty-eyed, not daring to meet his gaze.

She sounded guilty as well. "Well, that was a special case. How would I have known it was you?"

Max narrowed his eyes, sizing her up in a condescending way.

After a while, he said with a cold smile, "It's alright. You didn't know it was me, but you do now. You shouldn't have asked me for help if you were as tough as you said. Now that I saved you, I have no reason to hand you over to some other man, do I?"

Laura stiffened in shock, looking up at Max in disbelief.

"What do you mean by that?"

Max sneered, "Just take it literally."

He leaned over and whispered into her ear in a seductive but menacing tone, which she had never heard before.

"Laura Davies, you know what I want. You also know I'll do whatever I can to get it. I didn't force you to do anything, but you just stayed that night. Do you think any random woman can just climb onto my bed? Do you think you are free to come and go? What do you take me for?"

Laura froze, her teething chattering.

She was frightened and angry at the same time.

Finally, she clenched her teeth and asked, "Then what do you want on earth?"

Max leaned closer to her and breathed, "You'll know what I want."

No sooner had he finished his words than he straightened up. The shadow over her face disappeared all of a sudden, and so did his overwhelming aura.

Laura let out a sigh of relief.

But the next second, dull despair settled down upon her heart.

She stared at Max with a frown and said, "Max, I've already told you that I don't have feelings for you. For the sake of our childhood friendship, just leave me alone. I'd be deeply grateful to you if you could do that."

Max gave a sneer, ignored what she said, and scoffed, "I don't need you to be grateful to me. There are so many people in this world grateful to me, so it makes no difference to me if you're or not."

Stunned, Laura thought to herself. This man had a sharp tongue as usual. His intention was good, but the way he put it was simply so terrible that she wished she could beat him up.

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her frustration and anxiety.

Laura realized it was impossible for her to change his mind today, so she could only change the subject.

"Well, it doesn't matter to me what you want, nor do I care. It's getting late, and I have to go to bed now. You should go."

This time, Max looked deeply into her eyes and left without saying anything.

The door was slammed shut with a bang. It was when Laura made sure the man had really left that she became weak suddenly and collapsed, sliding down the wall to the floor slowly.

The next day, Laura went to the hospital to see her mother.
