"What could be more important than me?” Monte was pleased with Eliza's reply, but still, he asked sourly.
"I'm not telling you.”
Charity responded with a quick retort.
Upon detecting a hint of forced arrogance in her voice, Monte’s heart melted.
He found Eliza too mild-mannered back then, so he was delighted that she now showed her arrogant side.
Indeed, a short separation between a couple could refresh a relationship.
"Fine, don't tell me. However, don't get too close with other men behind my back," he warned sternly. "I think the man who sent you home that night may be interested in
you."
"That was Ryan's friend.” Charity got in her car while putting on an act for him over the phone. "He was the blind date that Ryan introduced to me a while ago."
Monte was taken aback by that unexpected reply, and he immediately felt upset, “ Lizzie, are you doing this on purpose? I'll admit that you've made me jealous, terribly jealous.”
Charity was speechless.
Coming across that way was not her intention.
"Lizzie, although I'm not sure who that man is, a friend of Ryan's is definitely far from a simple person. People who are involved in politics are stricter with their other half. I have seen several politicians whose careers practically ended after marrying
female celebrities. Businessmen like us would have it easier as long as we have the ability to earn and provide. Apart from the pressure from our parents, it wouldn't affect your career at all," he said gently. "I don’t want you to get hurt again. Do you understand?"
"You don’t have to tell me that. I don’t like him.” Charity fastened her seat belt. ”1 think he's too tanned. I like the gentierlooking types.”
Monte was over the moon.
