Chapter 273 - 272: Do You Have Other Women?
She suddenly turned to him, her bare shoulder brushing against his arm as she looked up with a teasing glint in her eyes.
"Hey," she said lightly, her voice soft but edged with curiosity. "Be honest. Do you have other women?"
Rex blinked, as if the question demanded serious contemplation. He tilted his head slightly, pretending to think deeply, eyes narrowing with mock focus. Then, without saying a word, he slowly lifted his hand and began silently counting on his fingers... one by one... with a perfectly serious expression, as though tallying an important list.
His performance was so exaggeratedly sincere that it took Monica a second to register what he was doing. When she did, her expression shifted instantly, from curious to scandalized.
"You—!"
Before he could even crack a smile, she pounced. With a small growl, she sank her teeth into his shoulder—not hard enough to draw blood, but enough to make him flinch. Her teeth sank into his skin with playful vengeance, and her eyes dared him to keep joking.
"Ahh—! What the hell?" Rex cried, flinching. "Let go! Are you the reincarnation of a cat? Why are you biting people without reason?!"
She didn’t answer, only snorted through her nose, but refused to let go, her arms loosely draped over him like a lazy predator unwilling to release her prey.
"Sigh! Unprovoked violence... this is what I get for answering honestly," he muttered dramatically.
She finally loosened her bite, just enough to speak. "You dare count," she hissed in mock outrage.
