Remained unmoved, Kobi looked greedily at Ariah's flushed face due to anger.
In fact, Ariah's skin was naturally light-complexioned, and it was glowing softly in the darkness. With that red lips, black smooth hair, and bright eyes, she looked so beautiful that it made his heart sway.
Obsessed, Kobi uttered, "Ariah, why didn't I notice how good you were back then?"
Stiffened, Ariah couldn't believe what she heard.
Did Kobi even realize what nonsense he was spouting?
Was he crazy?
"It's such a waste of you to be with Jimmy..."
Softly, Kobi muttered to himself as he lowered his head and gently enjoyed Ariah's body scent.
"I regret that I didn't take a good look at you before. Can you give me another chance to start over?"
"Ariah..."
"Slap!"
Right after Ariah struggled to break free one of her hands, she slapped Kobi hard on the cheek.
On the other hand, Kobi, who was suddenly slapped by the face, tasted the blood in his mouth.
Coldly, Ariah looked at him, "Are you in a clearer state of mind now?"
As Kobi placed one of his hands on his face, his eyes flashed a hint of anger as he clenched his other hand into a fist.
However, Ariah did not notice the change in Kobi's emotions when she pushed open the door and shifted half of her body out of the door so that the people outside could see her. It was a way for her to protect herself in case anything happened.
"Kobi, is it even right of you to do this to Emily?"
At that moment, Ariah placed one of her hands on the door while the other hand trembled. "You're going to marry her soon, so please treat her well. She's a good girl, and if you dare to hurt her, I won't let you off."
Slowly, Kobi raised his head. With his body hidden in the dark, his face was barely seen as he uttered, "What if I told you that I don't have feelings for her?"
Taken aback, Ariah asked, "If you don't like her, why do you want to marry her?" "Anyhow, I would have to marry a woman to spend the rest of my life with. If I were to marry an obedient woman as a companion at home, it's also a way of killing two birds with one stone."
Immediately, Ariah sneered, Tve never thought that you'd be such a scumbag!"
In fact, Kobi was such a scumbag that Ariah couldn't help but be angry.
"I'm just realistic. After all, it's better than to be a hypocrite. Those hypocritical men wouldn't even admit the fact that they don't have feelings for someone." Then, Kobi looked straight into Ariah's eyes and said, "For me, whenever I don't like someone, I will be honest about it, and I won't lie."
"Haha, did you just say that you would be honest when you don't have feelings for someone? Emily gave all her heart to you, and she even came to our country alone from abroad. How dare you say that you're not hypocritical?"
If Kobi didn't love her, why didn't he make it clear since the start?
However, Kobi smiled and slowly walked out from the darkness. "You're trying so hard to help her seek justice, but have you heard of the saying that goes, 'if you're not a fish, how would you know if the fish is happy'?"
"You're saying that Emily is willing to be deceived by you?" Suddenly, Ariah felt that Kobi's words were ridiculous to the extreme.
Calmly, Kobi shrugged. "Well, she loves me. Even if she knows that I don't like her, she still loves me."
Angrily, Ariah glared at him as her chest heaved at his shameless and arrogant words, "Was that why you can hurt her unscrupulously? Just because she loves you? To the point where you even hit her?"
With a frown, Kobi asked, "What do you mean I hit her? When did I hit her?"
"She broke her brow bone two days ago." Suspiciously, Ariah looked at him, "Wasn't you the one who beat her up?"
A flash of light flashed across Kobi's eyes. In the end, he apologized, "I'm sorry. I was drunk two days ago. Perhaps I accidentally touched her and injured her..."
"The person that you should apologize to is Emily, not me."
At that moment, Ariah didn't want to listen to Kobi's nonsense, so she pursed her lips and said, "Please don't come looking for me in the future. I'll just pretend that what happened just now didn't happen, and I won't tell Jimmy about it because I don't want to ruin your relationship with him. If you ever do this again, Kobi, I'll call the police directly.
Even if it would ruin our friendship, I will still call the police."
After Ariah giving him a warning, she turned around and left.
However, Kobi stood where he was and didn't catch up with Ariah until her figure disappeared. Only then did he take out his phone and called someone.
"Beep beep beep..."
