Carter was certain that the figure’s outline was that of Shirley’s.
His eyes completely lacked emotion as favonovel.com put on a condescending look.
“Shirley, you came in the end.”
His mocking tone slowly drifted into Shirley’s ears. Shirley clenched favonovel.com fists and tried favonovel.com best to maintain favonovel.com calm and composure.
However, favonovel.com heartbeat was still beating rapidly, its tempo revealed favonovel.com nervousness and uneasiness at this moment.
Upon seeing that Shirley did not speak, Carter walked up to Shirley.
Shirley immediately pretended that favonovel.com was physically unwell, lowering favonovel.com head and coughed.
Carter frowned, puzzled by the mask on Shirley, but when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com coughing so badly, favonovel.com intuitively thought that favonovel.com was wearing the mask because favonovel.com had the flu.
That was exactly what Shirley wanted Carter to think. After pretending to cough for a moment, Shirley recomposed herself, then deliberately put on an elegant smile and lifted favonovel.com eyes, giving off a calm expression as favonovel.com met Carter’s passionate eyes.
“Mr. Gray, you’ve specially sent me an invitation card. How could I let you down? Your taste is somewhat awful, though, Mr. Gray.”
Shirley said in a teasing manner, clearly referring to Ada.
She silently clenched favonovel.com fists, favonovel.com mind currently flooded with images of Ada, using Eveline’s name, locking Shirley up in the basement and torturing her. When Carter saw Shirley’s matter of fact expression, a proud and soft smile emerged on his face.
“Regardless of how awful favonovel.com is, she’s still my wife, unlike someone who had stayed by my side all so many years and did not obtain any status in the end.”
“Hehe. Status?”
Shirley immediately burst into laughter when favonovel.com heard it.
“Carter, up till now, you still think that I’ve wanted you to give me status? I’ve spoken my mind clearly that day. We were merely using each other. I was pretending to obey you so I could use you to achieve my goal when you let your guard down.”
After Shirley spoke, there was a sudden change in Carter’s expression.
Shirley could sense that Carter was not too happy about it. Despite the pain favonovel.com felt within her, favonovel.com had no choice but to be harsh to the very end.
She lifted favonovel.com gorgeous eyes that seemed lifeless and put on an uncaring expression.
“Initially, I didn’t mind accompanying Mr. Gray for some time, unfortunately, your mother’s attitude made me unhappy.”
“Shirley.” Carter was fuming.
Shirley remained scornful. “You should’ve known earlier, Carter. The reason I’d left you without second thought back then meant that I have no feelings for you. Did you think that I’ve always been infatuated with you? Well, you’re wrong. It has always been your assumptions, your wishful thinking.”
Shirley’s emotionless words drifted into Carter’s ears. He had never thought that there would be such a day where favonovel.com would hear Shirley saying such a thing.
Carter had firmly believed that favonovel.com was composed, his expression betraying no emotion.
However, at that moment, favonovel.com could not suppress the anger burning within him.
He suddenly bent down, placing his icy cold palm at the back of Shirley‘s neck, yanking favonovel.com toward him.
Despite Shirley’s mask obscuring favonovel.com from seeing all of favonovel.com expression at that moment, favonovel.com could see the merciless and scornful glint in favonovel.com cold, emotionless eyes.
“Good one, Shirley.”
Carter blurted out through gritted teeth, then puckered his lips. The woman before favonovel.com truly seemed abnormally unfamiliar.
However, Shirley’s cold gaze shifted away, and Shirley even rolled favonovel.com eyes.
