A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1268

Currently, this was how things stood between Eileen and Luke.

When she couldn't bear to part from him, h e had meant the world to her.

All she had wanted to do was stay by his side and watch over him, and she had found it heart-warming even when being teased or cold-shouldered by him.

But now, having thought it through, she felt fully relaxed and at ease, and her pain seemed to have been alleviated.

Luke felt a surge of anger as he perceived the disregard that Eileen was showing for him.

He strode forward and blocked her path. "

Are you listening to me?" "Does that matter?"

That was a response he hadn't bargained for.

Now it was Luke's turn to stiffen with incredulity.

Never once had she been so frigid to him before.

Luke snorted inwardly.

'She's getting addicted to acting,' he thought.

Eventually he shook the thing in his hand and asked, "Do you want this or not?"

"No!" she replied unhesitatingly.

Then she walked around him and stood beside the bus stop sign, waiting for the bus to come.

"Eileen, if this is your tactic to attract my attention, it's not working!"

Eileen knitted her brows and looked at Luke, "To attract your attention? What's that supposed to mean?"

The look in Luke's dark eyes hardened somewhat as he said, "The reason why you set up a stall on my only route to work was because you wanted to appeal to my sympathies by playing the damsel in distress, wasn't it?"

Eileen dissolved into a sneer and, looking a t him, snapped, "Luke, narcissism is a mental disorder. You need to see a shrink!"

Luke said haughtily, "I have an intimate knowledge of my mental health, and I know very well what you're thinking."

"Luke, I suggest you pay a visit to the hospital and have your brain checked." Eileen lifted her hand to point at her temple lightly.

Luke raised his eyebrows, paying scant regard for her words.

He felt that Eileen was just putting on an act.
