Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1109

This lady deliberately came to me just to boast and declare her victory to me. If that was not childish, then what was?

I smiled faintly. "Ms. Mandez, I believe you have the ability to read a person's expression. Do you think you see sadness o n my face? Your relationship with Theo and how far your relationship has progressed have nothing to do with me. I don’t care about it. Don’t you think it’s childish for you to boast in front of someone who doesn’t even care?"

I did not care, okay?

Unable to get the reaction she wanted, Elena was more or less displeased. She snorted, saying, “Don't act so generous with me. Playing hard to get may work once in a while, but men will hate it if you use it for a long time. Don't think I have no idea what you're up to. You're pretending to push Theo away so he’ll think he has been treated unfairly. The more you stop him from coming near you, the more he'll want t o get you back. I must say that your tactics are something."

I could not hold back my laughter. What a genius. I seriously wondered if her IQ had been squandered on books with nothing left.

“What are you laughing at?" Elena was exasperated. "Am I wrong?”

“You're so right." I looked at her with a face full of smiles. "If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve had no idea that I was playing hard to get. Since you think this tactic is good and can make a man lust after a woman, why don't you use it?"

After a pause, I continued, "Do you perhaps know that in order to succeed in using the playing hard to get tactic, you'll first have t o make the man interested in you?"

"You!" Elena was furious.

My words had cut her to the quick because Theo was not the least bit interested in her, so this tactic would not work for her.
