Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 11

Nell’s cold words did not force Jason back.

He said squarely, “Anyway, since you’re here, I have something to ask you. Just where did you go last night? Why didn’t you answer my calls?”

Nell’s eyes flickered.

Jason had indeed called her several more times last night, but she had been with Gideon Leith at the time and had not heard the phone.

She saw the missed calls this morning but did not bother paying attention to it.

After all, whether it was he was worried for her or he was trying to reprimand her, with their current relationship, it was no longer appropriate.

Thinking of this, she raked a hand through her hair and replied lazily, “Jason Morton, who died and made you king?”

Jason was stunned. “What?”

“Why do I have to answer your calls?”

Jason was dumbfounded for a second before her words finally registered, and he immediately flew into a rage.

“Nell! Don’t be ungrateful! I’m only concerned about you!”

“Oh? Does Celine know how much you care about me?”

Her brows were raised in a smile that did not seem like a smile.

Jason’s expression twisted in anger, but he could not say a word against her.

At that moment, a clear and sweet voice came from the door of the villa.

“Jason!”

Looking back, she saw Celine running out in a lilac, long-sleeved dress.

Jason’s face eased up at the sight and he strode towards her.

“Why did you come out wearing that? It’s windy outside.”

“I’m fine. It’s not cold.” Celine smiled up at him before her gaze fell on Nell and she paused.

Then, she revealed a sweet smile and hurried over to Nell.

“Sister, you’re still here? Oh, you didn’t drive here? Should I ask the chauffeur to send you back?”

Nell looked at Celine’s gentle and kind expression and quirked the corner of her lips in a mocking manner. “No need. I’ll hail a taxi.”

Celine hesitated for a moment before smiling. “Sister, don’t try to be brave. It’s not easy to get a taxi here. Besides, it’s not safe to go home alone so late. Just let me get the chauffeur to take you home!”

Then, she beckoned a servant.

“Find a driver to send my sister back.”

The servant nodded and turned to call for someone.

Nell saw how Celine acted as if she was the master of the Jennings family and suddenly felt a little sick.

To think that just five years ago, Celine had been a small country bumpkin. At that time, the mother and daughter had no say in anything, but in just a few years, the situation had changed dramatically.

Nell sneered in her heart. Naturally, her expression did not look happy either. She said coldly, “Celine Jennings, are you deaf? When did I agree to let the chauffeur take me home?”

Celine was startled and took a step back at Nell’s icy eyes, as if she was frightened by Nell’s harsh words and looks.

“Sister, don’t be angry. I’m just concerned about you.”

“Concerned about me?” Nell scoffed and playfully stepped forward. “The person who was, until a second ago, working with grandmother to threaten me is now saying that she’s concerned about me? Celine Jennings, aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to take off that fake mask of yours if you wear it for too long?”

Celine paled slightly and a layer of mist instantly emerged in her soft eyes.

“Sister, I’m only worried about you. How could you say that…”

Her trembling body looked so thin and fragile that Jason could not help but take a big step forward and gather her into his arms.
