Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 559 I’m Not Your Pet

Laura nodded.

To avoid embarrassment, she pointed to the sofa and said, “have a seat. Let me get you some water.”

Max nodded instead of refusing.

After she handed him a glass of water, there was an awkward silence.

She wondered why he had reappeared after disappearing for so long. She was half nervous and half

confused.

She didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Max took a sip of water and put the glass down.

He lay back on the sofa, stretching leisurely. Then he threw her a faint smile.

“Why are you so nervous? Come here.”

He patted the sofa.

Laura hesitated. Although they had a pact and she knew it was inevitable to meet him, she didn’t want

to have sex with him so soon.

She somehow resisted physical contact with him.

So she stood motionless where she was.

Max saw her through from her reaction.

He smiled without anger.

He withdrew his hand and casually touched his ring on his hand, saying with a cold voice.

“Do you have anything to tell me?”

Laura froze for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

What?

What did she need to tell to him?

Max narrowed his eyes at her blank look.

His mouth twisted in a sneer. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t tell me you haven’t seen the news online.”

Now Laura realized what he just said.

That was an embarrassing situation for her.

Shoot! She was too careless.

When the news broke, she only thought about how to explain to Lynn, but she forgot about Max.

He was possessive, and very protective of the woman he loved.

Whether the news was real or not, he would not allow it to exist.

Laura shook her head at the thought and mumbled, “I, I saw it. I was going to call you right before you

came.”

It was such a blatant lie that Max saw through it at a glance.

He sneered, “just about to call me? Don’t try to fool me!”

He knocked the watch on his wrist and said, “The photos were exposed two days ago, and 48 hours

have passed. You're saying that you were about to call?”

“Or maybe you have forgotten about me, so you would just say anything to please me now?”

His slight upward ending was a warning of danger.

Laura was in a state of panic.

She knew she had been rumbled and felt guilty.

She couldn’t look at him in the eye and said slowly, “No, I did not... I have so much on my plate that I

forgot.”

However, Max was a smart man. He cast his eyes on the game machines and said, “are you very

busy? Wait, what are you busy with? Playing a game or watching TV? Maybe I have been so nice to

you that you’ve forgotten who you are. Don’t forget about our pact.”

His voice was heavy with rage.

Laura was momentarily lost for words. She knew it was her fault, so no matter how she explained it,

she couldn’t smooth things over.

So she had to admit her mistake and sighed deeply.

“Fine. I admit that I forgot to tell you. I apologize. Sorry, Max. Please forgive me.”

He pulled a wry face and said, “Apologies? With Such an attitude?”

Laura’s lips compressed into a thin line. She felt appalled by him. How could there be someone like

him?

The pact between them was not consensual. He forced her into it.

She didn’t agree to the deal. Why should she think about him? Had he ever taken her thought into

consideration?

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became.

However, she knew it was useless for her to resist. Her grievance was insignificant before him. She

might as well give in earlier, lest she is hurt after the argument.

Then she hid her sadness and grievance and said with a poker face, “what do you want?”

Max got up and walked toward her with a sneer.

His imposing aura made Laura feel oppressed.

Laura backed up several steps until she was cornered.

Her body was pressed against the wall.

Max put his hand on the wall near her ear, and his body bent slightly.

He stared at her with his sharp eyes and said, “Did I tell you I won’t allow anyone to touch my stuff. You

are my woman, you should keep yourself apart from other men. Right?”

Laura nodded.

“So what about the pictures of you and him?”

She sighed resignedly. Then she decided to tell him the truth.

She looked at Max’s eyes and said, “I was drunk. All he did was help me into my car. And you were not

there, and I couldn’t go downstairs myself. Or do you think Nicole can handle this on her own?”

A sneer crossed his face. Then he pinched her chin and said nastily, “Who gave you permission to get

drunk in my absence?”

Laura frowned. The pain shot up her chin, which made her feel irritable.

She looked elsewhere and said coldly, “I was happy that night because of the new movie. I don’t even

have the right to drink now?”

He was stung by her angry words, “Yes. You don’t even have the right to drink without me by your side,

because I can’t tolerate other men seeing you get drunk.

Laura stared at him in disbelief.

She thought that he was a possessive and unreasonable man.

She snapped, “Max! Don’t go that far! I agreed to be your girlfriend, but I’m not your pet. I can’t do

anything to your liking!”
