Chapter 50\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah narrowed his eyes as he searched Bethany\u2019s face for even the slightest hint of a joke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The smirk at the corner of his mouth froze in place. \u201cBethany, I\u2019ve told you this before. There\u2019s no need to play hard to get.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany smiled faintly. \u201cI\u2019m not joking. And Mr. Vazquez, one minute of your five is already gone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He clenched his fingers at her words. \u201cI heard you had a fight with your mom. Even if it\u2019s your personal business, don\u2019t blow it out of proportion. Mr. Reid nearly hit Leo because of you. If you keep this up, Mrs. Reid will be the one caught in the middle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBethany, you never used to handle problems so rashly. Why have you become so impulsive now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d felt the same wave of complicated emotions when she made up a husband out of thin air to get under his skin. Noah didn\u2019t like this version of Bethany at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany shrugged and smiled. \u201cI didn\u2019t realize you still loved playing everyone\u2019s dad. My father is dead, and you\u2019re not my boss anymore. Besides, we\u2019re not related in any way, so could you stop nagging me like you\u2019re my dad?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah clenched his jaw. \u201cBethany, I\u2019m doing this for your own good!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor my own good?\u201d Bethany snorted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo Leo locked me up, and I\u2019m not even allowed to be angry about it? It\u2019s only right for him to apologize to me, but now, I don\u2019t feel like hearing it anymore. Also, save your ridiculous lectures. I don\u2019t need you to teach me what to do!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah\u2019s gaze turned cold. \u201cBethany, when did you become such a person? Are you just running your mouth to spite me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany rolled her eyes internally. His lecturing really was unbearable. \u201cNoah, I\u2019m not trying to spite you. I\u2019m married and want nothing to do with you anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? You\u2019re allowed to date someone younger and prettier, but I\u2019m not allowed to find myself a young guy who dotes on me and has great stamina?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That line darkened Noah\u2019s face instantly. Bethany was basically calling him old, inattentive, and weak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In truth, Bethany wasn\u2019t sure if Noah had good stamina, but she knew she couldn\u2019t afford to lose her edge in this\u00a0<\/p>\n
conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe broke up, and there\u2019s no need to keep dragging things out. It\u2019s completely inappropriate for you to lecture me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany glanced at her watch. \u201cYour five minutes are up, and my husband is waiting for me downstairs. Now, if you\u2019ll excuse\u00a0<\/p>\n
me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany walked quickly. She closed the elevator doors with a push of a button before Noah could even react.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time he snapped out of it, she was already in the basement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noah stood there with a cold expression, slowly digesting everything she had said. The more he thought about it, the tighter his chest felt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, he couldn\u2019t even tell which of her words were true and which were lies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany really had made plans to have dinner at Silas\u2018 place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pulled her phone from her bag and stared in panic. The call had been going for seven minutes. Silas\u2018 name was clearly displayed on the screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHello?\u201d she said diffidently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
A low chuckle came through the speaker. \u201cWalk straight ahead. The car with the hazard lights turned on is mine. Can you see it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bethany pressed her lips together. \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
During that short walk, Bethany tried to remember when she had accidentally answered the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just how much of her argument with Noah had Silas heard?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She slid into the passenger seat with an awkward smile on her face and asked tentatively, \u201cIt appears that I accidentally answered your<\/p>\n
\u00a0call just now. When did you even call me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
