Chapter 40: Don't Throw Yourself Into A Man's Arms
"Do you like me?" Paul continued to ask her with a frown as if it was a shame to be liked by her.
Amy was so angry.
Although Paul was very ponderous, he could always easily stir her emotions.
"No" She answered quickly without any hesitation.
Paul nodded and pushed her away.
"Sit properly if you don't.Don't throw yourself into men's arms casually”
After that, he bent over to pick up the contracts.
His words made Amy very unhappy.
"You are my husband.’
"Nominally:"
Paul picked up the contracts one by one. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Even his fingertips were so beautiful.
Amy bit her lip and said, "Although it's nominal, you said you would protect me."
Paul looked at her and smiled slightly.
"There's no conflict between protecting you and not liking you."
Amy finally understood what he meant.
It was probably because she called him hubby that he misunderstood that she liked him.
Paul had made it clear at the beginning that they would divorce two years later, so neither of them should pay much attention to this marriage.
He would protect her just because she was his wife.
The car was moving slowly and finally stopped at the Howard Family.
Amy rubbed her legs and slowly stood up.
She could already stand, but it still hurt to walk.
Paul reached out and wanted to help her.
But she turned her head and bit her lips in grievances.
"Are you angry?"
Paul was a dull person, but he also felt that Amy was in a bad mood at this moment, so he softened his tone.
Suddenly, he chuckled and said, "I thought you would never have any other emotions."
In his eyes, Amy was a firm and confident woman.
When facing others, she always hid her weakness and showed her thorns.
Anyone who hurt her would be stabbed by the thorns on her body.
She was just like a hedgehog.
So when Paul saw that she was angry, he actually felt that she was a little cute as if she was like a girl only at this time.
"I'm not a saint, so why can't I be angry? I said I would treat you to dinner when I got paid, but you said I couldn't get paid.I thanked you verbally, but you said I liked you.I don't need you to remind me of our relationship at all times.Anyway, you are my husband during these two years.In that case, why can't I rely on you? I'm alone now, so I need to rely on you!"
Hearing that she wanted to rely on him, Paul was moved.
He knew from the beginning that Amy was different from other women.
It seemed that she never hid her thoughts in front of him.
She asked him for a black card, then she instructed his men to protect her grandmother, and now she said she wanted to rely on him.
It was hard for him to imagine that the feminine person in front of him had not long ago thrown her shameless relatives from the third floor and threatened to throw them away again if they dared to come again.
Her thorns and hurtful words were all directed at others, and she only exposed her weakness in front of him.
Thinking of this, Paul lowered his eyes and silently reached out to wrap his arms around her waist.
"Watch your step."
Amy was surprised but helpless.
His simple words were really annoying.
But with his support, her legs didn't hurt so much.
After sitting back in the wheelchair, she entered the house without looking back.
"The case of the Grand Group will be transferred here, and the court will be held soon.The minister of justice will appeal according to your suggestion." Paul said from behind.
Amy was shocked, and a light flashed across her eyes.
"If you win the case, can you give me a bonus?" Paul got back into the car and smiled.
"I won't deduct your pay for absenteeism” His voice was very magnetic, and his eyes were like the clear lake water, which was rippling slightly.
Amy put on a bright smile and said, "Well, when I get my salary, I'll treat you to dinner!"
"It depends on my schedule.’’ Paul said it reluctantly, but even Tim, who was sitting in the front seat, could see that Paul was very happy.
Paul was just trying to suppress his happiness.
Tim twitched his mouth and slowly stepped on the gas.
Amy and Paul were influencing each other.
They were originally indifferent and cold people, but when they met each other, they both showed more emotions.
Although they might not have noticed it themselves, Tim saw it clearly as an outsider.
The bodyguard in the other car arrived at this time.
As soon as he got out of the car, he stood behind Amy and did his duty.
"Thank you."
Though nothing happened at the Turner Family, the bodyguard still called Paul to come over.
Amy had to admit this favor.
"Amy, it's all my business.You've married in the Howard Family.As long as Mr.Howard recognizes your identity, you're our hostess."
Everyone in the villa took Paul’s words as a decree.
Now Amy was the only woman together with Paul, so they naturally had to protect her and not let others bully her.
Amy was moved.
The identity Paul gave her was not invalid.
As soon as he nodded, his people all admitted her identity.
She was pushed back into the house.
Mrs.Tache was not at home, and Jane was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
It was rare that Jane did not go out to the party today.
Jane heard the sound and turned to look at Amy with cold eyes.Amy frowned.
Jane never hid her feelings.Did Jane hate her?
"Amy, did you tell the Turner Family about my brother's identity? Do you know how many people are staring at my brother now? My brother hid his identity because he didn't want to make trouble.But you publicized his identity.If I hadn't met lan and stopped him, I'm afraid my uncles would have known about this by now!"
On the way to inform against Paul, lan came across Jane.
He didn't know Jane's identity, and Jane was very good-looking, so he wanted to flirt with her.
But Jane asked her bodyguards to catch him and beat him up.
lan was a spineless person.
After being beaten up, he told everything he knew to Jane.
Only then did Jane know the evil intentions of the Turner Family, and she was even annoyed with Amy.
She had clearly told lan that if her uncles knew about this, it must have been the Turner Family who leaked it, and she would definitely take revenge on the Turner Family.
lan didn't dare to pester her and ran away.
"There is no good person in your Turner Family.They even wanted to tell it to my uncles!"
The more Jane said, the angrier she became.
She glared at Amy again.
Amy had already figured out what was going on from Jane's words.
lan was so unlucky that he met Jane when he went to inform against Paul.
However, it was fortunate that he met Jane.
Otherwise, Paul's identity would be exposed now.
With Jane's warning, the Turner Family would not dare to act rashly again.
"I've severed my relationship with the Turner Family.You can scold them, but you can't scold me.’
Amy said calmly and took a sip of the tea on the table.Jane was surprised.
Then she raised her neck in defiance and said, "I don't believe it.It's your father.Are you willing to sever your relationship with him?"
The relationship by blood was not something that could be abandoned if you wanted to.
"Miss Howard, as a father, he has only contributed a sperm from the beginning to the end, and he has not fulfilled any other obligations.Why am I reluctant to leave that family?"
Jane blushed, coughing a few times and muttering, "You are such a vulgar woman.I really don't know why my brother likes you."
