Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1178

Scarlette still had not emerged out of the car after Hadrian had waited for a long time. He went to her side, raised his hand, and rapped on the door, but she remained seated in the car.

He opened the door and went in, staring at her. "Are you coming out or not?"

Scarlette pulled a long face as she stared at him. "We agreed to go home. Why would you come here?"

Annoyance was written all over her face.

"Then, I'll carry you down." Hadrian bent over, intending to lift Scarlette into his arms. She dodged to the side, refusing to let him carry her.

However, Hadrian seemed to have anticipated her reaction. He held her hand and pulled her over. When she was in his arms, he got out of the car and put her down. Subsequently, he held her wrist with one hand and closed the car door with the other. After that, he turned around and pulled her towards the restaurant.

She didn't want to go in. She stood outside and struggled, but she was weaker than him in terms of strength. The push- and- pull ended with her being pulled inside.

After booking a private room, she was pushed into it by Hadrian.

The waiters and waitresses were scared out of their wits, not knowing what was going on. Once they had entered the private room, Scarlette lifted her hand to smack Hadrian's face, taking out her anger on him without holding back. He didn't dodge it.

Smack!

All of a sudden, there was a moment of silence. Hadrian ran his tongue across his teeth, and his deep eyes landed on her. "Can we have our meal now?"

She glowered at him, and her face instantly turned white as a sheet. "Don't you ever think that the score has been settled with that one slap. I'm telling you, they will never be settled in this lifetime."

Turning around, she sat down and smacked the table with her palm. "Serve the dishes."

The waiter trembled in fear and quickly went to pick up the dishes.

Only then did Hadrian sit down and look at her, face-to-face. "You were too young back then. It was not that I disliked you, but it was more like I couldn't bring myself to lay my hands on a young girl. Besides, you took an inordinately proactive approach by getting into my bed even before I could do anything. What else was left for me to do to woo you?"

Hadrian explained, to which Scarlette found it ludicrous and laughed hysterically.

Then, he just watched as she laughed.

"Do you still think I'm an idiot? No, I'm not. Let me get this straight with you. Quit using your excuses to fool me. I'm well aware that you've never saved a spot for me in your heart, never. I have zero trust in you. I will find my Mr. Right, and he will be better than you."

Scarlette snarled at him, and his face fell. "Better than me? How, pray tell, can he be better than me?"

"He'll outshine you in every aspect," growled Scarlette. Hadrian replied coldly, "I will kill any men aside from me who dares to lay a finger on you. We shall see who has the guts to do so!"

Hearing his words, Scarlette gritted her teeth. "Says the guy who's shameless."

"Since you know that I'm shameless, then don't even think about what you shouldn't do. Whatever you want to eat and drink, I'll provide them all for you. I'll give you whatever you want, but you can't replace me with another man. You'd better banish such thoughts from your head right away, or I'll have all sorts of ways to show you who's the boss."

Hadrian shot a sinister glance at her. The waiters and waitresses had been eavesdropping outside, and his words sent chills down their spines. To them, such a man was too much like a gangster. Whoever ended up with him would only end in misery.

For some reason, their hearts went out to Scarlette.

However, little did they know that Scarlette's earlier slap was about to catalyze a war between men and women.

A waiter entered the private room, placing the plates and cutlery orderly. He appeared to be a 20-year-old youth. He was not handsome, but he was definitely suave and well-trained. Even though it was a restaurant, its owner had hired a bunch of good-looking young lads and girls, so that it could offer a feast for the eyes, as well as cater to the palate of the customers. Unexpectedly, such a strategy had spelled disaster for this restaurant.

Noticing how attractive the waiter was, Scarlette felt that the food had become tastier. She kept staring at him while having her meal. As a well-trained waiter, he politely gave her a smile in return.
