In Love, Never Say Never

I pressed my lips and sulked. “It’s inappropriate for me to answer the call.”

My response clearly showed him that I refused to accept his family. This was no doubt an insult to him, and I immediately regretted it.

“Inappropriate?”

Before I could react, he reached out his hand and grabbed my chin. “Inappropriate in what sense? Are you trying to tell me you’ve spent so much time with Marcus, and soon, you’re going to be someone else’s stepmother?”

The incessant ringing got on my nerves, but I chose to ignore it.

He then exerted more force on my chin. “Have he kissed you as I did? Had Marcus made you answer a call like this, you would have done it in a heartbeat, right?”

The color drained from my face, but I tried to stay calm. I smirked, “You’re just trying to humiliate me because you think I’m filthy, aren’t you? If that’s the case, why do you still bother to come and fetch me?”

I paused for a moment and continued, “And who are you tell me what’s appropriate and what’s not? How should I face the family of a man who constantly humiliates me? Should I bow before them and wash their feet? I bet you’ve never treated Rebecca like this, haven’t you?”

He gave me a death stare as soon as I finished. Yet, his grip never loosened.

At that point, my chin was already hurting so badly, but I still put on a tough look. “There are women whom you can hit and humiliate as you wish after you’ve paid them, but I’m not one of these women. I’ll not allow a man to disrespect and degrade me all the time, and I’ll definitely not hold on to a man who failed to protect his own child.”

With his lips tightly pressed together, he let out a loud harrumph. However, by the time he turned his attention to his phone, the caller had ended the call.
