The Mysterious Billionaire

Chapter 285

Abbie stared at Michael's lips as he kissed her.

The shock made her mind go blank.

Michael wanted to punish her for talking nonsense to slander him.

However, after he kissed her, he did not want to stop at all. Seeing her stare at him foolishly with her big and round eyes, he reached out his hand to cover them.

When her eyes were covered, she couldn't see anything, and her mind was in a state of confusion. The familiar sensation she felt from his lips made her stop struggling. As she lost her sight, a few chaotic memories came flooding into her brain.

It was full of scenes with Michael in it. His gentleness and romanticness flashed across her mind.

It was strange. Did she and Michael had a thing?

Otherwise, why would she be seeing these scenes? She tried to grasp those fleeting memories, but it was futile.

The kissing sensation brought her back to her senses. Michael, this shameless b*stard!

Ashamed, she gave him a big slap across his face.

"Phang!" Michael immediately let go of her after the slap on his face.

His cheek was clearly marked with her palm print. She sat up in a panic, "Michael You b*stard! You're dead meat! How dare you take advantage of me. I have to tell my brother about this and let him deal with you!"

With hatred spewing out from her mouth, Abbie quickly got out of the car. Michael stayed where he was and he had an expression on his face that she had never seen before.

For some reason, when she saw the look on his face, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. She did not dare to stay any longer and she quickly ran away while cursing at him.

After returning to her own car, Abbie clutched her hands on her chest.

D*mn it!

She was scared out of her wits!

Why did Michael do that out of the blue? He was overstepping his boundaries by touching her. Abbie was going to tell Aiden as she couldn't just let Michael go like that.

Just as Abbie was about to call Aiden, she suddenly remembered Michael's expression in the car.

His face was gloomy, and the corners of his lips were bruised. His eyes were filled with something she couldn't understand.

Why did he have such an expression on his face?

It was as if he was the victim instead.

Abbie didn't understand.

She was angry and she couldn't bear it because he had treated her so frivolously. Yet, at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

However, she decided to let it go as her slap was considered a form of punishment.

In the Dawson family's estate, the luxurious designed car slowly came to a stop. Bobby opened the car door and Joseph casually got off with his phone in hand.

Bobby opened the trunk and took out a few exquisite bags, then he followed him into the house.

Hayden was practicing calligraphy in his study room when he heard a servant report that Joseph had arrived. He put down his pen and walked out.

Bobby placed the gifts on the coffee table in the living room. Joseph sat down unceremoniously and he saw Hayden coming out of his study. He said with a cheeky smile on his face, "Dad, l'm back!" Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Hayden looked him up and down, and then he looked at his watch and said, "Not bad. You arrived two hours before the time I had predicted. I thought you'd come back at dinner time and then leave right after eating."

The sarcasm in his words was so obvious but Joseph did not care, "I was held back a while because of some work. You don't have to ridicule me like that."

"For a while? You arrived at five o'clock in the morning and you only came to see me at one o'clock in the afternoon. Am I even important to you?" Hayden snorted coldly.

"I was afraid that I would disturb your rest," Joseph grinned cheekily, "Are you angry? Don't be. I brought you all the stuff that you like, dad."

"Is the moon blue tonight?" Hayden sat down and opened the gifts on the tea table. He smiled and said, "Not bad, I like them all."

"That's good to hear. Your daughter-in-law chose all these. I hate picking gifts, but she seems to have a talent for it, so I left it to her," Joseph said with a smile.

The smile on Hayden's face vanished when he heard this, "A daughter-in-law? Since when do I have one? Stop playing around."

The smile on Joseph's face did not change, "I'm not kidding. Dad, drop the act, and let's get straight to the point. I don't believe that you don't know I brought Paige with me."

"The nerves for you to bring it up!" Hayden laughed coldly, "Listen. I don't care who you date, it can be any girl except Paige Anderson!"

"What's your reason?" Joseph sat upright.

"I just don't like her!" Hayden replied straightforwardly.

"I'm the one getting married, not you, so it doesn't matter if you don't like her. As long as I do!" Joseph replied slowly.

"Joseph, are you trying to provoke me?" Hayden looked at Joseph with a sharp gaze.

Joseph did not evade his gaze. Instead, he returned it. He continued to speak slowly and clearly, "Dad, my marriage should be celebrated. You'll get to have another person calling you dad, and you'll get yourself a grandchild. It's so simple. Why do you have to complicate things?"

"Heh! Not anyone can be the Dawson family's daughter-in-law!" Hayden's face was sullen, "I have to set things straight today! I definitely won't agree for Paige to come into this family!"

Joseph's smile disappeared instantly, "You let a woman like Elizabeth join our family. Why not Paige?"

"That's not the same. I have no expectations or hope for your brother, so there's no need for me to force him into anything. Besides, that was his second marriage, but yours is not!"

"What if I insist on marrying her?" Joseph asked lightly.

"I won't give you a chance to! Joseph, if you don't listen to me, I'll go look for her myself," Hayden said warningly.

"Are you threatening me?" The atmosphere around Joseph turned cold all of a sudden.

Hayden felt a strong aura radiating from him. He was stunned for a moment.

Was he mistaken?

How could Joseph have such a powerful aura?

In the blink of an eye, Joseph returned to his usual and casual self.

He shrugged and stood up, "Okay, I understand. I thought that you liked me a lot, but it turns out otherwise. Well, since you don't want me to get married and hope that I have no children, I will fulfill your wish!"

After finishing his sentence, Joseph strode away.

Hayden trembled angrily.

"This b*stard actually threatened me back! If I don't let him and Paige be together, he will never lay his finger on a woman ever again. He's going too far!"
