Chapter 230: Animosity
sTony was shocked to see the expression on her face. It was... He couldn’t decipher it.
He thought that he knew everything about her and yet, at times, she threw curveballs at him making him struggle to face her.
That was her allure! Just when he thought that he could predict her, she would prove him wrong and make him excited.
"Are you jealous, Birdie? That woman is your friend and they say she is beauti~"
"Jealous?" Marcella scoffed. Her smile became lopsided and a side of her lips curved up. In the bright light that was illuminating one half of her face, she looked like a painting with meticulous details. If he had a camera, he could have captured that exact moment but since he didn’t, he stored that face of hers in his heart.
That would be one of the images that would flash in his memory when his life flashed before him on his deathbed, for sure.
That smile of hers was so alluring for the same reason he asked her whether she was jealous—mysterious. She was like the depths of the Mariana trench that needed to be discovered and it tickled his senses. He got excited.
She knew how to keep him on his toes, after all. He married the right woman!
"Why would I be?" Marcella tilted her head.
The smile on his face reduced a bit. He didn’t like it when she said that she was not jealous. He did stupid things to make her jealous, but not once did she reveal her thoughts. It was nerve-wracking for him.
"You’re not?" he asked. And then he said the dumbest thing he ever said to her, next to him refusing her kiss on their prom night.
He said, "You should be when it comes to her."
