Chapter 978

Jamie spent the night drinking to the point he had to be carried back to the bedroom.

Seeing him in a daze, Narissa walked over and tried to help him take off his coat so that he was more comfortable.

She had just reached out when the man suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her by the wrist, his eyes seemingly on fire.

"You were pretending to be drunk?" Truth was, Narissa couldn't tell.

A sly smirk appeared on the corners of the man's mouth when he heard that. "I've been in the business industry for years now and yet, they tried to take advantage of me by getting me hammered. Do I look like a pushover?"

"Doesn't that sound amazing? But don't forget how you fell asleep on our wedding night. It seems to me that you… aren't all that." Narissa intentionally killed his ego a little.

Men could tolerate a lot of things, but not one of them could put up with having their abilities doubted.

"I'm not all that? Did you really just say that I'm not all that?"

Like a broken record, Jamie repeated his words twice before holding Narissa by her wrists and pressing her against the couch. "I shall demonstrate my abilities to you then!"

She smiled and struggled a few times, but when she realized that she couldn't push him away, she squinted as a dangerous light flashed in her eyes. "Are you trying to do it by force?" she warned.

Jamie, however, was completely oblivious to the impending danger as he thought that she was still playing along with the bickering. Instead of getting up, he closed in on her. "Last time was a mistake on my part. Tonight, I'll show you what a real man is."

"Okay, then. Show me what you're made of." Narissa's smile now seemed to hide malicious intent.
