Chapter 143
Agnes pursed her lips and quickly waved her hand, "Leopold, let's talk this out, don't be like this." Why does he get upset so easily? Can we have a proper conversation?
He wrapped his arm around her waist and sat down with her, speaking leisurely, "Michael, Herman, and now John, Agnes, you sure are quite charming!"
"Hmm?" Agnes, leaning against his chest, looked up in confusion, clearly catching the displeasure in his eyes.
Leopold leaned closer to her, their breaths mingling, "You sure have a knack for attracting suitors. I keep you around because you're useful to me, not for these guys to keep ogling at you!"
Suitors? How was she attracting suitors? And what did he mean by 'useful'? "So, you married me just to use me?"
"You're missing the point!" he corrected, and before he finished speaking, he planted a light kiss on the corner of her lips.
Agnes blinked, "Did you misunderstand something?" She knew Michael wanted to get back together, but how did Herman and John provoke him?
Leopold half-pinned her against the liquor cabinet, raising an eyebrow, "I understand men's thoughts better than you. Stay away from John from now on. You're mine, and he dares to have ideas about you? Next time you see Kelly, have her give John a good lesson!"
John likes her? Agnes was a bit stunned, "Hey, we're just classmates, you're overthinking it. What if it's not true? How awkward would that be?"
No, it would be awkward either way.
Leopold chuckled lightly, "Naive!"
Naive? She pushed him away, "You want to settle accounts? Fine, let's settle them properly."
"What other accounts do you have to settle?"
"Of course! You have a reason to be angry? We used to go our separate ways, but now that we're together, you hold me every day, do intimate things, and say you like me! But then you show up with Lydia, acting as her boyfriend! Leopold, what am I to you?"
Leopold looked helpless, "Didn't I explain it clearly in the car?"
"Who explained it clearly! You didn't give me a heads-up before doing things? Didn't notify me when you came back? Even if you didn't say it in advance, shouldn't I be the first person you see? You really don't understand romance! Don't understand romance! Don't understand romance!"
As if afraid he couldn't hear, her voice grew louder, and before he could speak, she added, "Have I been too gentle with you lately? Fine! Let's move on from that, and then there's Ms. Garcia. Just because of her, you wanted to kick me, your wife, out of Sunrise International Shopping Mall and throw me into the sea! Leopold, I can't believe you actually dared to throw me! If I didn't know how to swim, I would have died!"
Leopold's inexplicable jealousy, she was fed up!
Bringing up these two things, Leopold looked even more helpless, "I told you, you should have told me your true identity earlier, right?"
"So, it's my fault again?"
Leopold was momentarily speechless, for the first time in his life, he felt a bit at a loss.
He softly apologized, "Alright, it's my fault, I'm sorry, okay?" After that, he planted a gentle kiss on her cheek.
"Hmph!" That was more like it!
"You're not angry anymore, right?"
"Reluctantly accepted!" Her eyes sparkled with a hint of hidden delight.
Leopold took the wine glass from her hand, now it was his turn to take the initiative, "Agnes, where's the ring?" As he asked, he raised his hand to show the wedding ring on his finger.
From the moment she put it on him, he had never taken it off.
But hers?
Agnes knew she couldn't be too arrogant in front of him, she smiled, "Left it at home. Such a valuable thing, what if I lost it at Willow Creek? What if it got damaged? I'd be heartbroken, right?"
Leopold nodded in agreement, but his words were less agreeable, "Who told you to be heartbroken? If you lose it, I can't afford to buy another? Or if it gets damaged, I can't afford to replace it?"
"You can definitely afford it, but I'd be heartbroken! Can you understand that? I'll wear it when I get back, every day! I swear."
Her remaining words were sealed with a kiss from Leopold. After a while, he asked again, "About the ring, we'll see how you behave when we get back, maybe I won't pursue it. But what about 'not understanding romance'?" As he asked, he placed a warning hand on her waist.
Agnes sensed the dangerous signal in his eyes and silently cursed him in her heart. Couldn't Leopold just stay calm for a while?
She nervously swallowed, "Not understanding romance? What's wrong? Who said you don't understand romance?"
She tried to deny it, but his grip tightened, and she immediately screamed, "Please, Leopold, it hurts, I mean, not understanding romance is a compliment!"
Phew! Luckily, she was quick-witted, she gave herself a perfect score for that answer!
Leopold almost laughed, but he held it back, maintaining a straight face as he continued to press, "Keep making things up!"
"No, no, Leopold, it's late, I'm tired, can we go to sleep?"
It was indeed late, Leopold finished his wine in one gulp, then whispered something in her ear before carrying her to the bedroom.
Lying in bed, Agnes watched Leopold undress for his shower and suddenly remembered something important, "Leopold."
Leopold gave her a warning look, "What do you want?"
"Hmph, I have a question, don't expect me to call you hubby. Why haven't you added me on WhatsApp?" What kind of couple is this?
Leopold picked up his phone and tossed it to her, "See for yourself."
What did that mean? He didn't use WhatsApp?
Regardless, Leopold directly handed her his phone to check, indicating he had no secrets from her. She took Leopold's expensive black phone and studied it for a moment. This was the first time she had touched his phone. She looked up and sweetly said, "It has a password, Leopold."
"1104."
Hmm? It sounded like someone's birthday.
Agnes entered the numbers and successfully unlocked it, then heard Leopold say, "Change the password, and tell me after you change it."
"Why change it?"
Leopold, now completely undressed, replied calmly, "Change it to your birthday."
Agnes blushed, avoiding his gaze, and asked softly, "Then whose birthday is this?" She couldn't help but sneak a glance at him, accidentally meeting his teasing eyes, and quickly looked down.
Leopold, this unserious man.
