My beloved wife novel Chapter 22

The sudden appearance of Aaron frightened Rita.

Magee pressed his lips tightly and looked at him with sharp eyes.

'Aaron is never going to let me be, isn't him?'

Rita's eyes were red, and the moment she saw Aaron, her face suddenly turned pale and her heart skipped a beat. "Nothing."

Then she strode towards Aaron.

"Mr. Magee, Riri is my fiancee, please do not have any misunderstandings." The cold-blooded tone of his voice was full of warning. "In my company, I don't want to hear any gossip."

Magee squinted his eyes and said, "I have known Rita for many years. There is nothing going on between the two of us. There is nothing to avoid."

"But she is in a different status now," Aaron said arrogantly. "I don't want her to be affected by some inexplicable rumors."

Rita looked up at Aaron and saw his cold eyes staring at him. He said firmly, "Riri, let's go."

He took her hand and gently took her away.

But she was hesitating. She was waiting for Magee to come back to her. She waited and waited, but Magee didn't show up. She was disheartened and she didn't want to wait any longer.

Being held by Aaron, she felt a little relieved at that moment, like a long floating boat finally came to shore.

'How could I have this feeling for Aaron? No, it must be an illusion!' She scolded herself in her heart.

After returning to the office, he let go of her, with a sarcastic smile on his face. "How dare you tryst with another man under my nose, Rita?"

"No. I just talked to him for a few words." Rita lowered her head. Her eyelashes quivered slightly, trying to conceal her disappointment.

She was shaking and heartbroken.

"You were high school sweethearts. It must be a tryst." Seeing her red eyes, Aaron knew she must have cried. He took out a tissue and handed it to her. "Are you still crying? Why are you so in love with him?"

"You're so annoying." Rita did not want to listen to his nonsense. "It's none of your business. This is between him and me."

"Why can't I mind your business?" Aaron stared straight at her and said sarcastically. "But I want to tell you a truth. Magee doesn't deserve you."

"What do you know? You don't know anything." Rita suddenly raised her voice, and her tearing cry echoed in the empty office. Her red eyes were full of tears. "Have you ever liked someone? Have you ever had a crush on anyone? No, you have not. You will only make fun of others!"

He smiled and listened to her. She was like an angry little hedgehog, shining her little paws.

Rita could not control the anger in her heart. Her whole body seemed to have been ignited by Aaron. She shouted at him, "Don't pretend to know me very well. You don't know me at all. You don't know anything at all!"

"Stop your pretension! You have no idea how it feels to love someone. A playboy like you can do nothing but play with other people's feelings!"

"You don't know how it feels to love a person and how it feels to love a person for so many years!"

"Do you think you can interfere with my affairs after we get married? No way!"

"It's none of your business!"

Rita suddenly yelled at him very loudly, venting all her grievances and sour. She sat on the chair and sighed heavily, with deep disgust in her eyes.

"Have you finished?" Aaron still smiled coldly. "How do you know that I've never liked anyone?"

Aaron sneered and said slowly, "You think I don't know you, but do you know him after you have known him for so many years? Do you know why he refused to tell you the truth?"

"He... He has his own reason." Her eyes flickered, trying to defend Magee.

"He loves you so much, but why doesn't he dare to face you? Have you ever thought about it?" he said indifferently, playing with the signature pen on the table with his slender fingers. "You know nothing."

Rita's face was as white as snow for the first time. She could not answer his question at all.

The man was not in the mood to talk to her. He poured her a glass of water and said, "If you have time to scold me, you'd better go to cry and forget about him."

He knocked on her head abruptly, which was so painful that her scalp was numb and she wanted to jump. "Why did you hit me?"

"Because you are stupid,"

He said coldly, "this is the game of adults. You are so silly and sweet. How can you win?"

"You're right. I'm so silly. You're the cleverest person in the world. "

Rita turned her head obstinately to the other side and ignored him.

In the eye of Aaron, Rita was really funny and persistent. She liked Magee so much, whom he hated. Moreover, she did not know the secret of Magee at all. If she knew it, she would definitely be disappointed.
