was a crucial time, they were about to sign the contract.
My boss’s lips curled up slightly, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. “How did your dad raise such an idiot?”
“You?!!” Jack didn’t dare talk back to my boss anymore. He shifted his gaze to Emma.
“So this is what you meant by having something to do?”
Emma guiltily avoided his gaze, but quickly became righteous again.
“Who are you to control me? What are you to me?”
History really does repeat itself in astonishing ways…
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
My boss’s attention was drawn by my laughter. He reached out to gently ruffle my hair. “Everything okay? Let’s go home.”
“Huh? We’re just leaving these people here?”
“The mood is ruined anyway. How can we keep eating? Let’s go home.” My boss glanced at me sideways and said, “Let’s go home.”
Tsk, how sweet of him.
“Wait, go home? You’re living together now?” Jack’s face was full of rage. He tried to grab me again, but backed off after seeing my boss’s glare. “Lily Evans, who gave you permission to live with him?!”
Dude, can you not be so greedy? Are you trying to have your cake and eat it too?
“We’ve already broken up!” I couldn’t help but turn back to emphasize this to him again, but my boss’s hand controlled my head so I couldn’t turn. I could only face forward as I said it.
i gave my boss an exasperated look. Why wouldn’t he let me move!
He ignored me and strode away, leading me along.
As we were about to leave, I faintly heard loud arguing and the sound of a slap from behind!
Who slapped who??
! still wanted to turn back and look, but he didn’t give me any chance…
“You like watching him that much?!”
I heard a threat in his tone and quickly said, “No no, I was just curious about the commotion.”
He let out a soft snort and pulled me into the car.
We drove home in silence.
My boss sat on the couch, seeming to examine me for a long time.
“Since we’re starting to live together tonight, let’s set a few rules.
First, you need to be home by 9pm at the latest;
Second, no getting touchy–feely with other men outside;
Third, no more contact with Jack Thompson.”
I thought he was fine, but he was saving up for something big!
“Why are all the rules aimed at me? What about yours?”

“Why are all the rules aimed at me? What about yours?”
“TII follow these rules too. Home by 9, no getting close with other women. I don’t have any exes, so the third rule doesn’t apply. We can add more later if needed.”
“You’re really serious about this…”
“Of course I’m serious. We’re married now.”
His deep pupils clearly reflected my image. He was truly speaking to me sincerely.
I felt my heart being poked. A warm current flowed through me.
So this is what it feels like to be taken seriously.
“Okay.” I promised him.
