Flirting

[Chapter 13]

"Yes, I did." Regret filled Julie's heart.

She bit her tongue.

Damn it! When Julie saw the amused look on David's face, she braced herself up to be humiliated big time.

David and she were about to get divorced.

Veronicawas all that David cared about, so there was no way David wouldn't deny her now.

"See? David, she has admitted..." Suddenly, Tessa stopped speaking.

Her eyes widened when she saw David take off his suit jacket and put it on Julie's shoulders.

Julie was just as shocked as Tessa was.

Instead of frowning at her as she expected, David was smiling contentedly.

Tessa rubbed her eyes.

This has got to be an illusion! Julie was tall for a woman.

Nonetheless, David's jacket was way too big for her.

She was soaked by the juice which made her figure visible under the clothes.

When David found that his eyes were wandering, he looked away and then fastened the button of the jacket for her.

His fingers were slender and beautiful, and his movement was skilled and ambiguous.

Julie's ears flushed and her heart was beating like a large drum.

"David!" An inappropriate scream broke the silence.

With her eyes bulging from the sockets, Tessa yelled, "This whore is trying to seduce you! Don't fall for it!" Hearing that, David turned around and ordered the security guards, "Throw her out." Tessa couldn't believe her ears.

Throw who out? Her? David wanted to throw her out? "David, there must be something wrong, right?" Tessa was still in disbelief.

She thought David meant to drive Julie out, not her.

The two security guards held a grudge against Tessa, so this order came at the perfect time.

They both stood on each side.

"Ms.

Lloyd, this way, please!" "Get your filthy hands off me!" Tessa shook off their hands and looked at David in disbelief.

"David, how could you do this for me? You are throwing me out because of this bitch?" Her shout only made David angrier.

His eyes were shooting lasers.

David snapped at the security guards, "What are you waiting for?" Hearing this, they grabbed Tessa by her arms and dragged her out.

Tessa kicked and screamed hysterically, but no matter what she did, she couldn't break free.

"Stop right there!" Suddenly, a rebuke came from upstairs.

Everyone looked up and saw Kenia Lloyd, Tessa's mother.

Kenia rushed downstairs and kicked one of the guards.

"Are you blind? How dare you treat my daughter like this!" As soon as Tessa saw her mother, Tessa cried even harder, "Mommy, it's all that bitch's fault!" Kenia turned to look at Julie.

She had heard of how this young woman saved Kyler's life once and had stuck around him since then.

Kyler came downstairs shortly after.

When he saw the mess, he hit his walking stick on the marble floor.

The second Kenia noticed his presence, she put on a pitiful mask and complained, "Kyler, please intervene on our behalf.

This outsider came in here and treated my daughter badly.

You must punish her for Tessa's sake!" After saying that, Kenia pinched Tessa.

Tessa took the hint immediately.

She wailed so loud that she almost went out of breath.

"Save your tears!" David's face was menacing, which shut Tessa up real quick.

The silence that dropped now was deafening.

When Kenia realized that this wasn't going her way, she turned to David.

"David, Tessa is your cousin.

How could you help an outsider to bully her?" "What happened?" Kyler's gruff voice was heard at this time.

David said briefly, "Tessa splashed juice on Julie." It wasn't until then that Kyler noticed Julie''s disheveled look.

A yellow liquid was dripping from her hair.

His face instantly darkened.

Oblivious to the change in Kyler's expression, Kenia continued to defend Tessa.

"Serves her right! She must have done something to offend Tessa!" "That's right! This bitch crossed the line!" Tessa echoed.

David shot Tessa a searing glare.

Seeing this, she ran to hide behind her mother.

Before David could lose his cool, Kyler pointed his walking stick at Kenia and Tessa and bellowed, "You! And you, get out of here, right now!" Kyler was breathing fire.

His hand trembled as he frowned at them.

Their presence here disgusted him.

How dare they bully Julie! He hit the floor again and declared, "From today onwards, you must never step foot into this house!" Kenia couldn't believe her ears.

After all, Kyler was always so kind to his descendants.

He never raised his voice at anyone, let alone made such a declaration.

At this moment, Kenia realized that she had made a very big mistake.

She was about to kneel and beg for mercy.

However, the security guards dragged her roughly.

In no time, Kenia and Tessa were thrown out of the mansion like bags of trash.

Peace returned to the house again.

Kyler walked toward Julie and said, "Sorry about that, Julie." "I'm fine." "You should go get changed so you won't catch a cold." Kyler had reserved a room for Julie and even stocked up the closet with new clothes.

After getting changed, Julie returned downstairs to have dinner with Kyler.

She and David were sitting side by side at the table.

When Julie's favorite beef stir-fry was served, David put some on her plate.

This kind gesture went unnoticed by Julie.

Her mind was somewhere else.

She kept thinking of when Tessa told her David had gone to see Veronica.

Why didn't he bring her with him? Could it be that Tessa was just lying? Something occurred to Julie at this moment.

Judging by how ill Veronicareportedly was, maybe she wasn't strong enough to be out of the hospital now.

That seemed like a logical reason.

However, she felt that David was acting strange.

He didn't seem to mind that she told Tessa about their marriage.

Julie assumed that she was probably thinking too much.

Since Tessa was close to Veronica, it was only a matter of time before Tessa found out.

Perhaps that was why David didn't give her hell.

While she was still lost in thought, Julie suddenly felt a pinch on her thigh.

"Ouch!" She couldn't help but scream out.

To her surprise, she looked at David, only to find him sipping his soup as if he did nothing.

What was this man doing? Was he out of his mind? Julie''s head buzzed, and her heart beat faster and faster.

"What's the matter, Julie?" Kyler stopped eating and asked with concern.

"L...Nothing.

I almost choked.

That's all." Julie flashed a smile, but her fist was clenched under the table as she tried to restrain her heart from jumping out.

"The beef stir-fry is good.

Have some more." "Alright." Julie breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, she heard David say in a low voice, "You haven't had a single spoonful.

How did you almost get choked?' For a moment, she was lost for words.

She wished she could just shut David up with duct tape.

After taking a deep breath, Julie explained, "It just happened.

| guess I choked on my saliva." She swallowed hard as if to convince Kyler.

"Ha-ha! Julie, are you joking?" Kyler laughed out loud and looked at her.

"Anyway, I'm glad that you're fine." As soon as she got off the hook, Julie whispered to David, "What are you trying to do?" David just shrugged with a smirk on his lips.

Annoyed, Julie reached out her hand to get back at him.

But David saw it coming from a mile away. 

With quickness, he wrapped his hand around hers.

Julie could feel how rough his palm was as he fondled her hand.

As if that was not enough, he traced her soft palm with his fingertips.

It sent an electrifying shiver to her whole body.

Her heart pounded.

Julie blushed and tried to get rid of David's grip, but he held on to her hand tighter.

She glared at him out of frustration.

The smirk at the corners of his lips remained.

He continued to enjoy his meal.

Anyone who saw his face would have a hard time believing that he was flirting with her under the table.

He scribbled some words on her palm.

Although Julie didn't know what it was, she reasoned that he must be teasing her.

Her face flushed with anger immediately.

The exchange was a little amorous.

However, Julie couldn't help thinking that David must be missing Veronicanow.

At this time, Kyler, who was sitting opposite Julie, noticed the change in her face.

He asked with concern, "What's wrong, Julie? Why is your face red?"
