Chapter 116: Who Fell First?
"I mean what I say, Iris. All these games will be over soon and you’ll be safe then. As for that woman, no one matters to me more than you. It’s a promise," Arthur said.
Talia heard Arthur’s voice in her ear brimming with confidence and honesty, and felt assured.
" Fred..." Talia took a deep breath.
" Hmm? "
" You belong to me too " Talia said softly.
" Okay...? " Arthur was a bit confused why she suddenly stated the obvious. But then he remembered her precious demands that the other woman is not allowed to touch her jewels or furnitures even and his lips curved up and he couldn’t help but chuckle.
How adorable my jealous flower is!
" Are you adding me to the list of your clothes, jewels and furnitures?"
"No..." Talia pouted hearing his chuckle turning to laugh, "I know how perverted you are! You don’t know how to behave with women! That day you... you did... th- things with me and if you do with other women they will mark you as a pervert and send you to jail! And you cannot lift women’s skirt to see what colour their underwear is or say unsavoury words to women in the phone. It’s sexual harassment and you’d be jailed for that! Not only that you have the reputation of the Northern Star to uphold. My grandfather is well known as the perfect gentleman in the business circles and now that you are succeeding him, you’d be expected to be..."
Talia went on a rant for about ten minutes to hide her embarrassment that he figured out her intended meaning. He should be thinking she is green with jealousy. Even though she was extremely jealous, she didn’t want him to know that. He wanted him to think of what she said as a statement of fact not as a blatant display of jealousy.
She didn’t want to be the jealous woman! She wanted to be the strong, understanding woman.
