Chapter 2469
Dulcie’s anger intensified, and she swatted his hand away.
Tears welled up in her red eyes, and she felt deeply wronged.
“You treat me this way because you know I have feelings for you.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Yes, you’re right; I care about you, which is why I let you do this to me.
But remember, if one day I stop caring, you’ll no longer have the power to hurt me.
”
Kyson remained silent.
He furrowed his brow upon seeing her tearful, aggrieved expression, utterly confused by her emotional outburst.
They looked at each other for a moment before he questioned, “What’s bothering you? Why are you so angry? It was just a joke.
I didn’t bully you.
”
The more she listened, the more wronged she felt.
Her heart ached.
She pointed to her face and protested, “You pinched my cheek, and it’s red now.
How is that not bullying?”
Even though their marriage was in name only, as his wife, she felt he should not be so close to other women.
She suspected the reason he had been visiting the office so frequently was to see another woman, not primarily to bring her back to the Shaw family’s villa.

Feeling bitter, she bit her lip hard and lowered her head, trying to come to terms with what she had seen outside the car.
Unaware of her thoughts, Kyson noticed her cheek, which was indeed red.
It looked somewhat rosy, and despite her anger, he thought she appeared quite adorable.
He raised his eyebrows playfully and teased, “There’s no mirror here.
How do you know your cheek is red? Maybe it’s just because you’re angry?”
“Because you hurt me,” she retorted, her voice filled with frustration.
She turned her face away and quickly wiped her eyes.
Seeing that, Kyson was taken aback.
“Are you crying?”
“Nol”
He was left speechless.
She was sobbing quietly, clearly crying.
Feeling somewhat guilty, he slowly leaned toward her.
“How about you pinch me? Would that make you feel better?”
Dulcie looked back at him, tempted by the offer.
She had always been one to get back at those who bullied her.
“If I pinch you, will you retaliate?”
“No.
” Kyson shook his head firmly.
She didn’t possess much physical strength.
If he were to retaliate, what would that say about him?
As he pondered this, she gathered her courage and pinched his cheek forcefully.
