My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 322: Take It As A Threat 

Jeffrey thought, ‘‘If Wendy gets hurt, Uncle Ryan will do everything in his power to get to the bottom of it.If he finds out Dad and Mom are behind it, he will make them pay a heavy price."Bruce...Are you threatening me?"

Nellie asked.

"You can take it however you want."

Jeffrey stood up, his face devoid of any emotion.

"Anything else? I have to go.I still have plenty of work to do."

"You're always so busy.Why don't you just quit acting?"

Jeffrey's eyes narrowed.

"Is this another one of your conditions?" Nellie was taken aback.

"No.I just don't want to see you working too hard." Jeffrey sneered.

"I'd rather be exhausted with work than be here with you."His words were like barbs, stabbing Nellie without mercy. 

She rested her hand over her chest, and her eyes were filled with shock and hurt.

"Bruce..."

"I'm serious."

"Look.I know you're in a bad mood, and you're probably just lashing out..."

Bruce scoffed inwardly.

‘‘Whatever! She can think whatever she likes.If this made her feel better, then so be it"

"I'll ask you one last time.Anything else?" he asked.

"Yes!"

"Go ahead."

"Invite Mia here for dinner tomorrow!"

Jeffrey saw through her intention and shrugged.

"Okay, fine!"

He knew Nellie was worried he only said yes but wouldn't go through with it.

"Anything else?" he asked.

Nellie looked at her watch and said, "It's almost noon.Stay for lunch.I'll ask Leah to cook your favorite food..."

"No need.I said I'm leaving!"

Nellie opened her mouth to respond, but Jeffrey grabbed his car keys and told her, "I don't want to stay and bother you here.Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving her staring after his retreating back.

Nellie was stunned.She was so overcome with emotion that she couldn't utter a single word.
