Faye's expression turned cold instantly. He withdrew his hand and placed it back on the steering wheel, looking straight ahead.
Tessa Caldwell shook her head and thought, this guy is being all tsundere again!
Nora Harrow said over the phone, "Earlier you were telling me about how the family's marriage issue was giving you a headache, yet today your dad says you're married. Come on, what's going on? Did you find a contract husband or something?"
Tessa Caldwell cursed inwardly: Cousin, you're so goddamn perceptive. Should I worship you or what? Being a novelist definitely pays off, your imagination is off the charts.
She lightly coughed, "Haha, of course not, we're truly in love."
Nora Harrow was obviously skeptical, "In love? Then bring him over tomorrow, let me take a look! I haven't even approved of him yet, and he's already swept you away. I don't agree with this!"
If I show him to you, with your sharp eyes, I wouldn't be able to keep it a secret. Obviously, you can't see him, Tessa quickly said, "He's super good to me. He just bought me a big diamond ring. But he's going on a business trip today and won't be back for a while. Once he returns, I'll bring him to see you."
Delay if I can, drag it out until Faye and I have turned fake into reality. When that time comes, meeting would be great, everyone would be happy.
If I keep dragging it till three months later and things don't work out with Faye, I'll just say to my cousin that our personalities didn't match and we got divorced. That way, she'd never know about the contract marriage.
What a perfect plan to delay!
Tessa Caldwell almost wanted to clap and cheer for her own cleverness!
She really was, too smart!
Nora Harrow asked again, "What does he look like?"
Tessa replied, "My husband is, of course, handsome. That face, better than Pan An, that body, looking slim in clothes and toned without, perfect abs, those eyes, peach blossom eyes, so alluring, those lips, very sexy, tsk tsk tsk~~~ makes you want to kiss them just seeing them."
Saying that, she even threw a flirtatious wink at Faye, trying to butter him up a bit.
But Faye, acting all aloof, didn't even spare her a sidelong glance.
After hanging up the phone, Tessa turned to Faye and laughed, "Haha, my cousin has eagle eyes. If she knew we got married under contract, she'd beat me to death. I was scared of her hitting me since I was little; she's a violent woman. Plus, she loves interrogating people. If you answered her call, she'd grill you to death. I'm not letting you answer for your own good..."
Faye: "..."
Completely ignoring her explanations, Tessa puffed her cheeks.
She propped her chin and tilted her head, smiling playfully again, "Tsk tsk tsk, oppa, you're being all tsundere again~"
"Get out."
"Huh?"
"We're here."
"Oh~ we're home already." Tessa said as she opened the car door, but noticed Faye hadn't gotten off. She grinned and said, "Aren't you coming home?"
Faye curled his lips mischievously, not smiling but with a chilly look, reaching out a long arm to close the door across from the passenger seat.
Tessa: "..."
Ugh! She took a deep breath and then yelled, "You're an unpredictable poison-tongued tsundere. Three months later, I'm definitely divorcing you."
The window rolled down, and Faye, his voice deep but laced with danger, asked, "Really divorcing?"
Tessa nodded, "Yes, three months later, really getting divorced. Then I'll find a super rich second-generation heir," then with a sly smile, she added threateningly, "and with his money, I'll forcibly keep you as a mistress, and by then you'll be begging me on your knees!"
Saying that, she raised her chin, as if to say, you can be tsundere, but I'm even more tsundere than you are!
